Belgium Must BE 1ndcpcndcnt

THE official statement issued by tho Bel
i gian legation, at Washington. an
nouncing that Belgium longer will
submit to status Of guaranteed neu-
tralty like that which existed before
the war, but aspires to complete indie
pendence; to the rights common to all free
peoples, is the assertion OF right for which
there is full justification in the light Of the
failure OF that guarantee IN the past to safe
guard the kingdom against invasion of its
soil, murder of it's inhabitants and devasta-
ton OF its territory. While it is true the
triumph Of the allies in the war will bring
bitter punishment to the nation which dis
regarded its treaty obligations by violating
the neutrality which 1t had engaged to de-
fend, return to the prewar status would
as the statement affirms, afford no sufficient
security in the future against a repetition of
disaster from a like violation Of plighted
faith with it's freedom of action fettered by
continuation of permanent obligatory neu-
tralization.
The special treaty fixing the status of Bel
GUM. and against a return to which it now
protests, was signed April 10, 1899 by Aus
tria, France, Great Britain, Prussia and Rus
STA, as we'll Belgium. 1t guaranteed that
Belgium should form independent and
perpetually neutral state. 1t shall be bound
TO observe such neutrality toward all other
states" On August 8, 1870, Prussia re-
the neutrality of Belgium long as the
same shall be respected by France" and
agreed with Great Britain "for the joint de-
tense of the same in 1t should be vio-
lated by France. Despite this guarantee Ger
many long before the present entered
upon a systematic program of preparation
for attacking France by way of Belgium, and
when the time ripe carried out that
purpose and boosted of its perfdy.
BY it's heroic resistance to the violation
Of its neutrality and stubborn defense of its
territory against the German invader, Bel
GUM defeated the purpose Of Germany to
march into Paris and win the war inside Of
four months. 1t halted the German armies
its own soil three weeks and gave Eng
land and France time to organize their forces
to meet the enemy. The tide of German
invasion was stopped at the Marine, and there
Germany lost its opportunity to win tile war.
For its contribution to the final result,
ship Of the past, so futile in its purpose, and
to assume among the powers Of the earth
the separate and equal station to which the
laws Of Nature and of Natures God" en-
titles 1t. The justice of this claim none
contest. By its valor and sacrifices it has
established its free right to determine its
own destiny. In the language OF the lega-
ton statement, "She must be free to adopt
Of her own volition policy which shall keep
her outside the great international competi
lions, and permit her, if some new danger
should threaten to take any necessary meas
ures to defeat the hostile designs directed

\ Peace Of "Rercnge"

THOSE interests in America and elsewhere
1 which have suddenly become apprehen-
sve Of the revengeful peace; who have given
themselves up TO soictude for Germany and
argue against the allied terms as too drastic,
the ground that they will have the eff
feet Of forever embittering Germany seem
not to have remembered the kind Of peace
that country has eXacted of those countries
which 1t has conquered.
German peace is scarcely less barbarous
than German war. This is shown conclu-
sivey in the conditions laid down at Brcst
Litovsk and at Bucharest, and it would have
been shown a third time if the German armies
had captured Paris. had occupied the channel
ports and broken the iron blockade which
the allied navies threw about her Can any
intelligent American believe for minute
that Germany would waste tenderness upon
the allies if it's armies were triumphant its
enemies on their knees and the power were
in its hands TO destroy Great Britain and
France. and perhaps to reduce the United
States to impotency?
OF course, Germany would not. 1t would
give the allies a dictated" peace There
would not be the remotest suggestion of COM
promise in its attitude 1t would be uncon-
diional surrender and nothing short OF it,
and its armies would occupy Paris and Lon

paid and the last obligation carried ont

Albert Balm passed out of life simulta-
neously with the flight OF the Kaiser, whose
intimate friend he had been for many years.
He was one OF the really big men of Germany,
and to him in large measure the empire owed
us great steamship lines and its strong posi-
tion in the worlds maritime trade. But Bal
lin was moro farsighted than his imperial
patron. He foresaw destruction OF Germany g
overseas commerce at the hands Of the al
lies regardless of how the clash at arms
might terminate, and he lived long enough to
see his prophecy fulfilled Germanys ships
are idle, scores of them in enemy hands, and
Its flag has been swept from the sea, with
the prospect that not in century can the
nation restore itself to Its prewar commercial
strength. Had the Kaiser ilearkened unto
Ballin's advice it is likely that to-day he
would not be a fugitive and his empire in

8 few votes added or subtracted from the

difference in the general result, and the
claim OF a margin Of forty-eight may be
conceded without further argument 1t is
more satisfactory that the majority be in

unintentiona. but it is odd that 1t should
have closed its record OF the war with the
claim of repulse. untrue, OF course, OF the
forces whose presence on the western front
IL at first denied, and then for many weeks
refused to mention lest it damage the Teuton

II owes its downfall and the utter collapse
OF its campaign for world enslavement, and
1t could not deny itself the little satisfaction
or recording an American repulse in the
hnal moments OF the tragedy.
