The world has never seen so complete d denial of the binding effect of the pledged word. Why has Germany So lost sight of the principle of honor among na- tions? Her own answer reveals the cause; it is again the plea Of MIGHT. The fate that Belgium has called down upon herself (note the hypocrisy of this) is hard, put not too hard, for the destlnles Of the immortal great nations stand 80 high that they can not but have the right, in case of need, to stride Oyer eNiStencieS that can not de feud themselves" Professor Onck- en.) When the British Minister at Berlin notified the German Chan cellOr that Great Britain was IN HONOR bound to defend Bagium's neutrality, the latter argued that this was Terrible" a war just for q word .neutrality'-just for a scrap of paper" THE PITIFUL
 YES THE TERRIBLE SIGNIFl- CANCE OF SUCH DIFFERENCES, IS THAT GERMANS BELIEVE THEM JUSTIFIED.
 If l am asked what We are fighting for" said Prime Minis ter AsQuith, T can reply in two sentences. In the first place, to fulfill an obligation !. not only of law, but of honor, which no self-respecting man could possibly have repudiated; secondly, tc yindicate the principle that small uatioualities are not to be crushed, in defiance of internation- al good faith"
 America was no, d direct guaran- tor, like Great Britain, of the neu- trality Of Belgium, though in vari- ous conventions (of which Germany also was a signer) we were pledged to the maintenance of the world principle of good faith But EVERY nation was attacked when Germany broke faith. The law protecting Belgium which was vio- lated was our law and the law of every other civilized country. .. It was our safeguard against the necessity Of maintaining great armaments. OUR INTEREST IN HAVING IT MAINTAINED AS THE LAW OF NATIONS WAS A SUB STANTIAL, VALUABLE, HERMAN ENT INTEREST" (Elihu Root).
 In the hope of an enduring peace. in the hope Of an advancing civilization, we can not forget Bel gium. In the hope for unmolested self-deve!opment in the sense Of cur own security necessary to progress, We MUST NOT forget Belgium, until her wrongs are righted.

WE FIGHT FOR GOOD FAITH

The faith Ot treaties iS the OIL ly solid foundation on which a Temple Of Peace can be built up. ' James Bryce.) Good faith between nations, AS BETWEEN MEN, is the one and only safeguard from re turn to barbartsm. Without it brute force sheer MIGHT must rule. Without it there is no securi- ,y in human relattons-no security, even, for life itself. To keep ones word, when once given, that is the evidence of the progress of ciyiliza- ticu, and the TEST Of il.
 Hence the case of Belgium be- comes the single greatest German offense against civilization in this wal. At first, in our American ig- norance of world conditions, we did not see this. We do see it now; more and more We realize that Un- til the crime against Belgium is atoued for, there can be no peace and no hope of a world al peace.
 What are the facts? By treaties signed in 1915. again in 1881, and still again in 1889, this last re- vision being in effect in 1914. it was agreed Belgium shall form a per petually neutral state. The five pow CTS guarantee to it this perpetual neutrality, as also the inyiolability cf it's territory" These five powers were Austria, France, Great Britain, Russia, and Prussic. By such treaties the neutral state was pledged to defend in arms the neutrality of it's territory; and each of the great powers pledged itself not only to march troops into or through the neutral state, but also to aid her, in case her territory were violated.
 The world. thinking no nation 50 base as to break it's word, was completely taken by surprise by the attack on Belgium. But we know now, from GERMAN STATEMENTS, chat German military plans had for years intended to break this pledge. German rulers lied as to this consistently. and LIERrP TO THE LAST DAY. On the morn ing before the German troops ad- yanced, the German minister assured Belgium she need feel no alarm, and in the evening of that same day he delivered his ultimatum.
