Germany's violation of the neutral
ity of Belgium has been called crime
against civilization. Are there cold
facts to prove this?
A neutralized state is one that has
been guaranteed freedom from inya-
sion upon condition that it wage no
war beyond its borders. Switzerland,
Luxembourg, and Belgium are such
states.
Belgium was created a neutralzed
nation in 1889 by treaty signed by
Great Britain, France, Russia,
Prussia, Austria. They agreed that
Belgium should form an independent
and perpetually neutral state, and
bound themselves to interfere for the
defense of Belgium against any power
2 tempting to invade Belgian territory.
Belgium, in its turn, was pledged to
observe neutrality towards all other
states. This treaty was reafIirmed in
1870 and respected in the Franco
Prussian war.
But Belgium, like every other neu-
trail state, had also the protection of
the Hague Convention of 1907. The
United States as well as all the other
great powers signed that convention.
The Hague convention says that the
territory of neutral powers shall not
be invaded; that troops or supplies Of
belligerents shall not move across it;
and that If a foreign power invades
a neutralzed country, the neutral
country has the right and duty to re-
sist.
Thus doubly protected Belgium and
I ,I,t4fs hoe IN
that like Switzerland their neutrality
would be respected by all belligerents.
Nevertheless on August 2, 1914,
Belgium received an ultimatum from
Germany demanding the right to pass
troops through Belgium territory. She
promised at the conclusion of peace to
restore the property and the indie
pendence of the Belgian kingdom in
full If Belgium resisted, Germany
would consider her an enemy. AS an
enemy, Germany declared that she
could not guarantee the independence
of Belgium thereafter
Suppose Belgium Had submitted9
In accordance with the treaty of
1889 and of the Hague Convention,
this brutal ultimatum forced an in
dustrious and absolutely innocent peo-
pie into war. For suppose that Bel
GUM had agreed to Germany's pro-
posal Belgium would then have for
feited all right to be treated as a neu-
trail and Independent nation by Great
Britain and France. If they were vic
torious in the war, they would have
been justified In destroying her indie
pendence Also, what guarantees
would the Belgians have had that a
victorious Germany after ruthlessly
breaking one agreement would keep
4 another? The determination to MAIN
tain her independence as well as re-
gard for her honor as nation inev-
itably led Belgium to refuse the Ger
man demand.
Germany made no charges against
the loyalty of Belgium On the con-
trary the German Foreign Minister

FAMOUS INDIAN |INARR|ORCALLED
 TO FINAL REST

SALT LAKE CITY, April 18.-OId Poke, of Indian uprising fame has gone to the happy hunting grounds. His death on the Indian reservation in San Juan county, Utah, has just been announced, infrmities from old age being the cause.
 By his death a menace to the white settlers in the region has been re- moved.
 Old Poke was the father of Tse- Ma Cat, otherwise known as Everett Hatch. It was on Hatchs account that trouble with the Indians occurred three years ago
 In July, 1914, Deputy United States Marshal David Thomas went down to San Juan county to serve a warrant on Tse-Na-Gat charging him with the murder of a Mexican The Indians hid Tse-Na-Gat. defied the deputy and threatened his life, with the result that he returned to Salt Lake City without his man. Emboldened by the apparent successful intimidation of the officer, the Indians, under Old Poke, began depredations and com mitted raids on the ranches of white settlers.
 Affairs reached a climax in March, 1915, the situation becoming so seri- ous that General Hugh L. Scott. who was known for his tact with Indians, himself went among the Indians and they delivered Tse-Na-Gat to him.
 Deputies under United States Mar shal Aquila Nebeker also succeeded in rounding up at the same time the lead CTS of the gang who were supposed to have spread terror among the whites in the district These included Old Poke, Old Posey, Jack Rabbit Soldier and others. They were brought to Salt Lake City, but upon promising to be good Indians" were released to return home. Tse-Na-Gat went to trial and was acquitted.

BACK TO FARM
 FUR CADD|ES,
 GOLFERS PLAN

CHICAGO, April 20-A plan for golfers to release caddies for farm work and contribute the usual caddy fees to war funds is under way, hay ing been started by coterie of Chi cago men, headed by Perley H. Boone of the Calumet Country club. During the first year of Americas participa- tion in the war golfers contributed thousands of dollars to the Red Cross. Liberty loans and other war funds. used parts of hundreds of links for gardens, and furnished many promi- nent players to the army and navy
 With the spring cry for youths to help on farms, the campaign to in- duce golfers to carry their own clubs has gained many supporters, although the golf season is several weeks away As outlined in the prospectus of the campaign, the golfer is invited to make his usual call at the desk of the caddy master; but instead of de- manding youth to lug his clubs, he is to proffer 50 cents, the average fee for caddying eighteen holes, and re- quest two thrift stamps. The pur- chase of the stamps is made sec ondary, however, as the main object of the campaigners is to release the caddies for farms.
 It is figured that there are about a thousand golf clubs of firstaIass size, whose average number of cad dies daily is 25 each This would make a total of 25,OOO boys.

More Fame for STUTTGART.

Stuttgart, which French aviators
bombed recently. is the original home
of the aircraft engine. 1t was In Stuff
CART that Daimler evolved the inter
nal combustion engine which a French
man, with an eye to utility, quickly
turned to account in the first practical
motor car, says the Christian Science
Monitor. Here, too, Count Zeppelin
evolved his monster airships, making
use of the knowledge which trials and
experiments in the big Daimler works
had served to bring to light. Facts
such as these seem more pertinent at
these times than the other reasons for
S~tuttgart's fame. She has, as every
one knows, a famous music academy.
and her reputation for music is GER
tainly far older than that which she
has acquired by her machinery; also,
1t is unspoiled by anything Of the ma
ture which has made the very word
Zeppelin a byword In civilized coun-
tries.

STOLEN TREASURES OF ART
Taken From France and Belgium
Unless Peace Terms Interfere.

VIII one of the peace conditions I'm
volve a return to Belgian and French
art treasures removed by the Ger
mans since 1914 from the occupied
territories? asks the New York Eve
ming Post.
Until the present wars outbreak.
everyone has supposed the custom of
nations changed since NapoleOn's
time, so that 1t would 40 longer be
possible for a conqueror to fill his mu-
seums with plumber. That supposi-
ton, like sc many others, seems to
have been given the lie by the kaiser,
whose agents are said to have emp
tied the Antwerp and Brussels mu-
seums for the benefit of Berlin. Even
the emperor's grandfather, in the war
of 1870. took practically no toll of
Paris art treasures.
Malice has ascribed this moderation
to the lack, In that Spartan genera
ton, of appreciation for art, which led
those earlier invaders to conf1ne their
activities, for the most part, to or
molu clocks and silver services. The
modern Prussian, however, from the
crown prince down. has become a
dilettante, an art connoisseur. Hence
the very thought of cleanup made of
art objects. Berlin, willy nilly, is to
be made a world art center. If tour
lists prefer Paris because Of its great
er natural charm, they will, in any
event, be forced to visit the Prussian
capital in order to see Rubens de
scent From the Cross"
A monopoly of the worlds potash
supply, and a collection of stolen art,
is to keep the world at Germany's
mercy-unless the terms of peace pro-
vide otherwise.

cHAPTER XXI.

A low cry greeted Duane. The
ROOF was light. He saw Ray Long
streth sitting or her bed In her dress
ing-gown. With a warning gesture to
her to be silent he turned to close the
door. 1t was a heavy door without
bolt or bar, and when Duane had shut
IL he felt safe only for the moment.
Then he gazed around the room.
There was one window with blind
closely drawn. He listened and SEEM
ed to hear footsteps %retreating. dying
away.
Then Duane turned to Miss Long
streth. She had slipped off the bed,
half to her knees, and was holding out
trembling hands. She was as white
as the pillow of her bed. She vas
terribly frightened. Again with warn
ing hand commanding silence, Duane
stepped softly forward, meaning to
reassure her.
"Ohr" she whispered wildly and
Duane thought she was going to faint.
When he got close and looked into
her eyes he understood the strange,
dark expression In them. She was
terrified because she believed he
meant TO kill her, or do worse, prob
ably worse. Duane realized he must
have looked pretty hard and fierce
bursting into her room with that big
gun In hand.
The way she searched Duane's face
with doubtful, fearful eyes hurt him.

men. They heard me, but did not see
me. They don't know who was listen
ing. They're after me now"
Her eyes changed from blank CULTS
to dilating, shadowing, quickening
windows of thought.
Then she stood up and faced Duane
with the fire and intelligence OF a
woman In her eyes.
