Did Germany Wrong Belgium?
By G. c. FISKE, Associate Professor of Latin in the
University of Wisconsin.

morning of August 4, 1914, by the
Belgian Ambassador said,
Germany has nothing with
which to reprOach Belgium, and
the attitude of Belgium has al.
ways been perfectly correct"
On the same afternoon in his fam
Gus speech before the Reichstag, Won
Rethmann Hollweg, the German chan
cellor, said:
I'VE are in state of necessity,
and necessity knows no law,
So we were compelled
to override the just protest of the
Luxembourg and Belgian Govern
ments"
Out OF the mouths OF her two high
est officials Germany thus condemns
herself.
There is not shred of evidence that
France intended to invade Belgium
When asked by Great Britain in July
81, 1914. France on the same day re
piled that she intended to respect the
neutrality of Belgium, and so informed
the Belgian Government.
Great Britain had told the Belgian
Government as early as April Z, 1918,
that she would not invade Belgium
except to defend its neutrality, never
first
How Germany Planned invasion.
What about Germany? When asked
by Great Britain on July 81, 1914, Ger
many refused to make any promise.
France, Belgium, and Great Britain
have clean slate. Germany is a self
confessed criminal in the court of
civilization.
Two months later Germany an
nounced that she had found in the
Belgian war office records of a pro-
posed plan by which England was to
pass through Belgium to attack Ger
many She did lot point out that these
same documents showed that the plan
was to be carried out only in case
Germany invaded Belgium. Neither
did she explain that King Albert had
told her of this plan when 1t was made
several years before the war began.
Germanys attempt to excuse be- gross
violation of Belgium's neutrality is
both clumsy and dishonest
Belgium and Great Britain were
more than justified in their suspicious
because of the German strategic rail
ways built for five years before the
war, which threatened the eastern
| frontiers OF Belgium like the tentacles
of an octupus.
But what has the crime against
Belgium to do with our entrance into
the war? Germany's violation of Bel
| gium is menace to the Monroe doc
! trone. VIII victorious Germany that
violated Belgium regard the rights OF
| the small nations In Central and South
| America?
In the violation Of Belgiums neu.
trality we Americans see a concrete
and bitter proof of just what the real
| ization of the ideas of German mill
! tary autocracy means to the world
/ and means to US. The German gov
| ernment asserts that necessity knows
no law, that might makes right. that
solemn contract Is scrap of
paper" Such ideas are a menace TO
every nation in Christendom.

Germany's violation OF the neutral
ity of Belgium has been called crime
against civilization. Are there cold
facts to prove this?
neutralized state is one that has
been guaranteed freedom from inva-
sion upon condition that it wage no
war beyond it's borders. Switzerland,
Luxembourg, and Belgium are such
states.
Belgium was created neutralized
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
attempting to invade Belgian territory.
Belgium, in its turn, was pledged to
observe neutrality towards all other
states. This treaty was reafirmed 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 we'll 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 foreign power invades
neutralized country. the neutral
country has the right and duty to re-
sist
Thus doubly protected Belgium and
Luxembourg had every reason to expect
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 inde-
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 Submitted2
In accordance with the treaty Of
1899 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 inde-
pendence. Also. what guarantees
would the Belgians have had that a
victorious Germany after ruthlessly
breaking one agreement would keep
another? The determination 10 main
tain her independence as well as re-
gard for her honor as a nation inev-
ttably 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
Won Jagow. when interviewed on the
