KAISER AND THE DEVIL AS
 SENATOR MEAN SEES THEM

Powers notified Belgium that if she would surrender her neutral rights on the land she would be unharmed.
 "A few weeks ago we received mo- tice from the Central Powers that if we would surrender our neutral rights on the sea we would be unharmed.
 Cause and Case That of Belgium.
 Our case is that of Belgium and our cause is the same. It is g. cause as old as justice-a cause for which every liberty-loving Teuton as well as Saxon has fought for more than f1f- teen centuries-and the fact now is that the atrocious methods adopted by the armies of the Central Powers have brought down upon the heads of those responsible the righteous in- dignation of the whole world.
 ''In my opinion our position as a naton is unassailable. The heart and conscience of the great mass and body of the German people bitterly op- posed the leadership that started the war. Anyone who will look at the Record of the last week of July. 1914, will find abundant corroboration of this statement. I have here some edi- torial comments from the great lib- eral German paper, the 'vorwaerts,' which throw very bright light on the present situation. I will read them.
 "On July 25th. 1914. the 'vorwaerts' said editorially: War fury unre- strained by American Imperialism is setting out to bring death and de- structfon to the whole of Europe
 Four days later, on July 29th. it denounced the German Foreign Omce for not accepting England's media tien proposal, in the following lang uage: The comarilla of war lords Is working with absolutely unscrupul- ous means to carry out their fearful designs to perpetrate an inteSnation- al war, and to start a world wide fire to devastate Europe
 "On July 31st, when it was evident that nothing could stay the guilty Hohehzollerns and Hapsburgs in their lust for war, the 'Vorwaerts' declared that the German government was utterly without conscience.' More over, mass meetings were held in the great cities throughout the empire protesting against the insane and brutal course of the government. In Berlin alone, on the 2Sth of July, twenty-eight mass meetings were held. At one of them there were more than 10000 men in attendance. These were spontaneous meetings, called for the purpose of registering the protest of the German people against tHe crime that the German rulers were about to commit
 "A few years ago the master of Germany declared our Monroe Doc Urine to be a piece of Incredible i'm pertinence.' More recently Herr Bernhardi and Chancellor Bethmann- Hollweg stated the Imperial German world policy in the following Ian guage: Necessity knows no law The injustices we thus commit Gin Belgium) we will repair as soon as our military object has been /ob- tained,' and that object is to expand our frontiers for the accommodation of our surplus population
