that II had been mobilized for days,

was declared against Russia.
Between July % and August 4. the
German government had put itself in
the posture of war against Russia,
Great Britain, France and Belgium.
and had violated Luxumburg and yet
had asked no advice or consent of the
German people. That Is why 1t is
proper to say that the German people
did not begin the war. or the mass of
the people originate 1t.
"Nicky, and "wiiIy.,
Perhaps the most conclusive proof
OF this lies in the efforts made by the
government to convince the people
that the war was strictly defen-
sive one. 'Envious people everywhere
are compelling us to our just de-
fense,' said the Kaiser on July 81 !;
and again the sword is being forced
into our hand Even the invasion of
Belgium was represented to be a
defensive measure. and it was de-
cfared by the chancellor In tho
Reichstag and by everybody else IN
authority to have been due to GER
tain knowledge that France herself
was about to invade Belgium. Lieut..
Gen. Freytag LerinSheven, chief of
the supplementary staff, has recently
made it dear that this was not true
He admits that the initial success of
the German arms was due to the
French expecting the German ad-
vance elsewhere
In kilograms signed 'Nicky' and
willy the Gar and German Em-
peror are shown to have been ar
ranging in 1906 for a secret alliance
endangering Denmark In case of
war with England. Denmark was to
be treated as Belgium has been in
the present war. except that a pre-
liminary effort was to be made to
make the Danes see and accept the
Inevitable.
Considering the great number of
channels leading from Copenhagen
to London and proverbial want of
discretion of the Danish court, 1 was
afraid to let anything be known
about our alliance. as 1t would i'm
mediately have been communicated
to London, a most impossible thing
SO long as treaty Is to remain secret
for the present.
BY long conversation with Isvol-
SKY, however, i was able to gather
that Minister of Foreign Affairs Count
Kahon and a number of persons of
influence had already come to the con-
viction that in case CT war and i'm
pending attack on Baltic ports from
foreign powers Danes admitted their
inability and helplessness to uphold
even a shadow of neutrality-that
Russia and Germany will Immediately
lake steps to safeguard their interests
by laying hands on Denmark and oc-
cupying it during the war
1T is better to let the idea develop
and ripen in their head and let them
draw final conclusions themselves, so
that they will OF their own accord be
moved to lean upon us and fall in line
with our two countries. "All things
come to him who waits"
