apparent to those in touch with
the situation that Germany was
intriguing and encouraging Mex
leo, secretly, in every possible
way. Then, the inhuman treat.
nent Of Belgium began This
great "swashbueklern ignored
its most solemn treaty with this
little and helpless kingdom,
which begged that its country
might not be overrun and ruined,
but to no purpose; and as re
sentiment because the Belgiums
endeavored to defend their homes
and their honor, they were sub
ieeted to the most horrible cruel
ties by the brutal Germans.
The American sympathy was
at once aroused for Belgium, but
our noble people contented
themselves BY giving relief to
the starving and desolated
country. Feeling aggrieved at
the United States, perhaps. be-
cause OF this fact. Germany took
another step, one even more de-

all neutrals. unarned and un-

stroying the precious lives of
men, women and children.

1t is true that we have some
crayens in this country. who

from war and allow German
butchery. rapine and atrocity

are very few, and if we had our
way we would not call on such

their pass ports to some other
land, more congenial to their
kind, and more adapted to their

an action for personal injuries, where
the fact of the injury is admitted, but
the negligent act denied:
Your name IL John Doe, living al

Strand opposite the law courts and
saw the accident when the plaintiff
was run over by the defendants bus.
and you helped to pick the plaintiff up
and carry him from the roadwayT'
To which the witness answers Yes"
Now, in an American court the testi-
mony I'm that one question and answer
would have been the subject of at.
least eight distinct questions and eight
distinct answers, and in the hands Of
some lawyers this information would
not have been elected short of twenty
questions, as; Estate your name to TIE

is your business?'' Where were you
on May /, 1914, at the hour of so and
so?" state what accident you saw
there, If any7" What did you do
