IN Europe IQefe IS u udlOu that 10
in a position to carry the scourge OF
war to the ends Of the world. and
yet cannot be touched in Its island
home. That nation owns the most i'm
portant parts Of the globe, sells prod
ucts which all nations need, and pays
all the cabinets which rule those ma
tions out OF the money resulting from
these sales.
Never has that nation pretended
lesss than at present to conceal Its
pride and its cupidity. 1t has grabbed
everything. and will grab still more.
BY these traits everybody recog-
nizes England. She saids that she
had armed herself to defend the prin-
cipies Of the social system against
revolutionary anarchy, she alone had
20 save the ruins Of civilization from
inevitable destruction
But now she Is violating all those
laws for which she protested to 90 to
battle. AT the moment when France,
covered with trophies, Gains by her
moderation all states which are start
led by French victories, England terri
flies them more and more by her des-
polism. Frantic, for q year. has been
trying TO restore the old bonds of
European society; England makes
every effort by her power and In
trieues to destroy them.
Enoland's Treatment Of Neutrals
TO begin with, she crushed with her
hauehtiness a government renowned
for its prudence and always loyal to
the spirit OF one Of the greatest mod
efn eogernments: government too
hiah-mlnded to suffer outrage, but
which Is not strong enough to lack
ii circumspection Denmark had seen
how her ships were insulted in the
Mediterranean: when the English
seized one OF her frieates which vas
under escort Of g convoy. Il was IN
vain that the worthy scion Of noble
name. NJ. de Bernstofff. In q respect
fuI yet firm note recalled the prin-
ciples recognized BY all writer's and
hnlloued hg International law Il was
in vain that ne demonstrated to the
Cabinet 0f ST James that belligerent
powers have 40 right TO visit neutral
vessels sailing under convoy. The
Cabinet OF ST. James answered only
with threats. The British ambassa-
dor. Lord Withworth, spared no in
suit and the British cannon which
were already trained upon the forts OF
copenhagen only kept silent in the
Battle Sea because they were afraid
Of startling st. Petersburg. whose
SER giments were not yet known. 49,.
All these facts testify against Eng
land. and condemn her.
EnoIand's Allies Her Victims
Her allies have always been her VIC
Tins. They have never received any
reward for their devotion except the
most dangerous task In the fight.
The attack on Holland was made
BY the combined forces Of England
and Russia. Holland was then de-
tended only by q small number Of
French. 1f Russia alone had been
used ii that expedition. victory in a
fight between two adversaries worthy
Of each other would have remained In
doubt for a longer time. But the In
competence Of the Duke Of York and
the lack Of morale Of his troops soon
rendered nugatory the yalor Of the
Russians.
The vanouished English, according
to their won't, did not fail to shift the
disgrace from themselves to. their al
