Tin; substance of Horr Yon Bothnia miHollwenfs defence of Germany's action in Belgium is that his country dot's no wrong unless it has very strong motives for so doing. It is a. plea tvhic.lt, mi doubt, a, good many private, persons who have had differences tyitli the law hav,i made with .soma effect to t'heh cwn consciences. They would not have killed a man.had Jie not 'been seriously inconvenient, or forged if they had seen any other method of avoiding serious loss, or burned down a house if there l.ad been any better plan for getting the insurance money. Similarly, Germany

would Hot likvo overrun Belgium, burned •Louvain, and carried oil its inhabitants to forced labor if Belgium had not been by far the most convenient road into. France. The German Chancellor takes credit to himself for respecting the neutrality of Swcd™ and Norway. As well

Holland thrown into the arms of Great Britain won Id he. a '■ery convenient avenue of attack upon Germany. As for Denmark, it is easy for Germany to respect what is left of her sine? it is lifty years since she took what she needed of her and the Kiel Canal is the centre of hev naval •strength. Upon the whole, the Chancellor's defence, though, like the criminal's, it may assuage his own feelings, will have as much effect upon the judgment of neutrals as the criminal's plea of strong -temptation has upon the Judge. When Germany attacked Belgium she did one of those things which the plain man who cannot follow the intricacies of diplomacy can perfectly understand and will never forget.—The Nation.
