What is an absolute neccssity'?" MT de I.eval continued. "Unfortunate-
 ly, the Hague convention gives no f definition and the speeches of it's
 members throw little light on the subject.
 ."The Germans have given to 'ab-
 solute necessity a wonderful exten- sion. If law is required by which
 machine can be taken out of Bel
 gium to be used by German manu-
 facturer for, no matter what kind of
 work useful to the German empire, Tt is soon found an absolute neces- sity' to empty Belgian to replenish
 a German factory. If German pol-
 tician thinks that a certain rule i'm
 posed on Belgium will have some po-
 litical importance in Germany in a
 quarter of a century, that rule will
 be established in Belgium by absolute
 necessity. If Belgian courts seem
 too fair to the Germans to be relied upon when a German interest is in- ,volvcd, it will be an absolute neces-
 sity' to modify the rules of those courts and to bring before a special court, made in Germany, all uues- tions in which such interest is con- cerned.
 We must never forget, and the Brussels bar repeated it time and again to the German commanders, we must never forget that generally speaking the writers of the nineteenth century have followed Montesquieu's and Rousseau's teachings, which de- nied the lawfulness of the right of conquest. It has been generally ad- mitted and the Hague convention con- firms it. that conquest by itself is merely an act of might and gives no permanent right to the conquerer over the occupied territory, unless a peace treaty confirms it. But of course. when the legitimate ruler of the coun- try can no longer enforce his own enactments in his state and a foreign army occupies it, circumstances arise where it is necessary to modify or even to suppress the existing legis. lation and replace it by more ade- quate rule. The Hague convention says regarding this:
 Article 43.-The authority of legal power having been passed de facto | into the hands of the occupant, the latter shall take all steps in his pow ed to establish and insure, as far as | possible, public order and safety. while. respecting, unless absolutely the laws in force in the 
 but when tested by the facts in Bel
 'All this reads very well in books. gium, the Hague conventional any rate in this matter-uroved almost valueless. It is very nice to say that the occupant shall not modify the ex- isting law of the occupied territory except in case of absolute necessity. But, as I have already asked, what is absolute necessity? It maye. be a moral-or rather immoralA-it may be !, 3 legal or illegal, it may he an econ omic necessity; it may be political pr military necessity. Who is to E decide? Who is to be the judge of his perplexing issue? Should the case be decided, like an ordinary case, (

ica's aid to his country, and especial ly to Brand Whitlock, former minis ter to Belgium. "His name," he said will go down in history adding "I know that in no other country of the world, so much as in America, in this country of freedom and justice do the sufferings of the Belglans arouse sympathy. You have saved Belgium from starvation, and till the end of all time there will be in each village of Belgium memorial put up to remind future generations that if the Belgian race has not died out, honor for it's preservation is due to the citizens of free and generous America"
 Mir. de Leval paid tribute. also to Cardinal Mercier, who, he said "stood in the country like living flag of Belgium, like religious king, and from all the world he received the homage due to his courage and gen iius." The speaker said that one place which remained sacred from in vasion was the church to which "the arm of the German law did not dare extend the iron fist"
 Alluding to the Hague convention, MT. de Leval quoted Article 43, which states that the military authority when occupying an enemy country will respect the laws of that coun- try and make no changes unless there is an "absciute necessity"

between the government and the citi- Zens, by the courts of the country? Or should tne military authority sub init to no judge at all, aud simply say Tt is quite enough if I say that there is such neceSsity'?'
 . "lmpotent Hague conventions" Mr. de Leval exclaimed. eff the gentle men who sat around the diplomatic ta- bles at The Hague, when drafting the rules by which the civilized ma tions bound themselves to be govefn- ed in war, could hear all the sarcasm, all the blame, that was laid by suf- fering populations on them for what seemed to be so carelessly drafted rules, they would indeed be unhappy"
 During the early days of the war, Mr. de Leval declared, apparently there was no rule. "Thera was,' he said, "just the fancy-ard most often "a cruel fancy-of the German soldier that ruled" z
