WE FIGHT FOR liOul) FAITH
"The faith oi treaties is the on
ly boIUI foundation on which. a.
Temple of Peace ean be built up."
(James Bryce.l Good faith between j
nations. As BETWEEN MEN", is the
one aud only safeguatd from a re-I
'uru to barbarism. Without it
brute force .she.-r .MIGHT, must)
rule. Without it there is no securi- I
ty in human relations—no security,
even, for life itself. To keep one's
word, when once given, that is the
evidence of the progress of civilize
tiou, and the TEST of it.
Hence the cas*» of Belgium be- j
conies the single greatest German
offense against civilization in this)
war. At first, in our American ig
norance \>t world conditions, wej
did not see this. We do see it now;
more and more we realize that un- j
til the crime against Belgium is
atoned lor, there can be 110 peace,
and 110 hope of a world at peace.
What are the facts? By treaties
signed iu 1S1.1, again in 1831, and
still again in 1839, this last re-|
vision being in effect in 1914. it was]
a?reed •"Belgium shall form a per-j
petually neutraj state. The five pow-j
ers guarantee to it this perpetual
neutrality, as also the inviolnbility
Cf its territory.-' These five
powers were Austria, France, Great
Britain, Russia, and Prussia. By j
such treaties the neutral state wasi!
pledged to defend in arms the j
neutrality of its territory; and j
each of the great powers pledged I
itself cot only to march troops
Into or through the neutral state. I
but also to aid her, in fse her j
territory were violated.
The world, thinking no nation j
so base as to break its word, was j
completely taken by surprise by the j
at'ack on Belgium. But w e know j
now, from GERMAN" STATEMENTS. |
that German military plans had j
for years intended to break this
pledge. German rulers lied as to !
thia consistently, and LlE^fP TO
THE LAST DAY. On the morn-j
ing before the German troops ad- I
v^nced. the German minister assured
Belgium she need feel no alarm,J
and in the evening of that same
daj; he delivered his ultimatum.
SAY DEMOCRACY PREVAILS IN CAMPS
U —— -
That a democratic spirit Is the most outstanding feature among the
officers and their subordinates in the camps throughout the country is the
assertion made by MaJ. "Archie" Johnson (left), son of United States Senator
Hiram Johnson, and Capt. Peter B. Kyue (right), well-known magazine
writer now stationed at Camp Kearny.
Tlie world has never seen 80
complete a denial of 'ha binding
effect of the pledged word. Why
has Germany so lost Bight of the
principle of honor amomg na
tions? Her own answer reveaJs
the cause; it is agaiu the plea of
MIGHT. "The fate that Belgium
has called down upon herself (note
the hypocrisy of this) is hard, hut
not too Imrd, . . . for the destinies
of the immortal great nations ptand
so high that they can not but have
the right, in case of need, to stride
over existences that can. not de
fend themselves." iProfessor Onck
en.) When the British Minister at
Berlin notifed the German Chan
cellor that Great Britain, was IN
HONOR bound to defend Belgium's
neutrality, the la'ter argued *hat
this was "Terrible," a *'ar ''just
for a word— 'neutrality*—just for
a scrap of paper." THE PITIFUL
— VKj THE TERRlBLfcl SIGNIFI
CANCE OF SUCH UTTERANCES,
IS THAT GERMANS BELIEVE
THEM JUSTIFIED.
"If 1 am asked what we are
fighting tor," said Prime Minis
ter Asquith. "x eaa reply in
two sentences. In the first
place, to fulfill on obligation . . .
not only of law, but of honor,
which no self-respecting man could
possibly have repudiated; secondly,
to vindicate the Principle . . that
small nationalities are not to be
crushed, in defiance of internation
al gcod faith."
America was noi a 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. Ol'R INTEREST IN
HAVING IT MAINTAINED AS THK
LAW OF NATIONS WAS A SUB
STANTIA!.. VALUABLE, PERMAN
ENT INTEREST." (Elihu Root).
In the hcpe of an enduring
peace, in the hope of an advancing
civilization, we can not forget Bel
gium In the hope for unmolested
self-development , in the sense
of cur own security necessary to
progress, we MUST NOT forget
Belgium, until her wrongs are
righted.

A Bit Of Advice
[ First—Don't Delay. Seoojul—]k*i,t
EVperiioontT"
If you suffer frooH backache;
headaches or dizzy spells; if you
rest poorly and are languid in. the
morning; if the kidney secretions
are irrregular and unnatural in ap
nearance, do not delay. In such
cases the kidneys often need help.
Doan's Kidney Pills are especially
; prepared for kidney trouble—they
are recommended by thousands.
Read the following interesting
statement.
Mrs. M. E. Gagen, 1013-A Flori
da i-t., San Francisco, Cal., sayB:
"I had dropsy and other kidney
trouble and was miserable. My
back couldn't have given me any
mere misery if I had broken it. My
kidneys were -yveak and my feet,
ankles and hands became swollen,
as a result. I felt so miserable,
run down and depressed I was
discouraged. 1 could hardly bend
over because my back hurt me so
much. Doan's soon strengthened
and regulated my kidneys. The
swelling went away and I was
agaiai well and had all my former
strength."
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney] remedy—
get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same
that Mrs. Gageu had. Foster-Mil
