The case IS made worse by the re-
Election that these methods of ca1cu-
lated brutality were designed by the
Central Powers. not merely to crush to
the dust those with whom they were
at war, but to intimidate those with
whom she was still at peace. Belgium
was not only a victim; it was an eX-
ample. Neutrais We're intended to note
the outrages which accompanied its
conquest, the reign Of terror which fol-
lowed on its occupations; the deporta-
tion of portion of its population; the
cruel oppression of the remainder. And
lest the nations happily protected
either by British fleets or by their own
from German armies should suppose
themselves safe from German methods,
the submarine has (within its limits)
assiduously initiated the barbarous
war stats of the Central Powers are
we'll content to horrify the world if
at the same time they can terrorize it.
eff, then, the Central Powers succeed,
it will be to methods like these that
they owe their success. How can any
reform of international relations be based
on a peace thus obtained? Such peace
would represent the triumph of all the
forces which make war certain and make
1t brutal. 1t would advertise the fuulity
of all the methods on which civiliza ton
relies to eliminate the occasions of inter
national dispute and to mitigate their
ferocity. Germany and Austria made the
present war inevitable and they gained
their initial triumphs by violating the
treaty guarantee Of the territories Of an
other. Are small states going to find in
them their protectors or in treaties made
by them bulwark against aggression?
Terrorism by land and sea will have
proved itself the instrument OF victory.

ties are no more than scraps OF paper.
