THRESHJNG OVER OLD STRAW.

The question whether this nation
should have gone to war over the in
vasion of Belgium and the violation OF
that little Kingdoms neutrality can
hardly be made an issue in the coming
presidential campaign. Uncle Sam
might have protested vigorously. but
that would simply have made more
applicable the assertion that he has
already protested too much. Such
course would have brought us nearer
enhancement in European affairs, de-
spite the injunction of George Washing
ton, than anything We have yet under
taken, for our troubles with both Ger
many and Austria as well as with Great
Britain have been over their treatment
Of Americans and American interests.
Elihu Root in his recent speech de-
clared that. 1.-THE invasion of Belgium was
tcnance OF the laws Of nations, which
was the protection Of our peace, and
the interest which sustained the contract
justified an objection to it's breach"
