now In embroiling the whole of Europe;
Profeaaor Kugene Keuhnemann ot
'.Brealau unlvormty, last night diss
t cimned the conflict In an address at the
' Masonic temple, giving the purely Ger
I ' man viewpoint. lie declared that tha
I prejudice that has been built up In
America uKiiirmt the cause of Germany
t Is part of th; cleverly planned British
I war campaign.
. "And the only real victory the allies
i liave gained never lias been on any
f ' battleground In ; Europe, but In the
i hearts of the American people," de-
They have re
the front ahd
I given lt their own Interpretation In
f passing."
i The professor said It Is almost par-
1 adoxlcal for American's, while they are
I praying for world peace, to send sup-
j plies and munitions to the enemtes of
, Germany. He declared that peace
I would come more quickly by a victory
j for flie Gorman arms than by any other
f outcome. It Is cheap sentimentality,
, he said, for America to sympathize so
; much, more keenly with the Belgian
i war sufferers than with the sufferers
' of any of the other nations.
Belgium Is Denounced.
J "Belgium's neutrality never was vlo
. lated by Germany," he declared. "Bel
( .glum actually made war upon Gr
- many, trusting that England and
( France would come to her assistance,
jl That England and France failed her Is
A shown by the reproaches one hears
heaped upon English and French pris-
oners by the Belgian prisoners in the
. same camps. Belgium hoped to gain ,
J In war. German's reduction of Bet-
glum was a reduction' of a force that
.-f was hostile and working with her
enemies. If Belgium suffered, it wai
through her own choice,"
Getting down to the real historical
' facts of the war's origin. Professor
J Kuehnemann said they led direct to
Russia. With a dream of empire such
as the Greeks achieved at Byzantium,
he said they had long been inciting
flervla that Austria might be weak-
i ened. With Austria weakened, the
mighty hosts of the czar could the bet-'
J ter strike at Germany, which stands In
I the way of any such Imperialistic '
I Slav program. I
, Trance Sourht Berenge. J
On the west, he said. Franco has i
J long been chafing under the humilia
tion or having lost Alsace and Lorraine
to Germany. This, he said, was the
territory that was taken awav from
Germany by Louis XIV In 1681 In time
I of peace. When in 1870, therefore. Ger
; many wrested It back history had been
Justified and scores were even, he de
I clared. ' The professor quoted Thomas
I Carlyle an declaring the justice of the
j German repossession of this territory, i
U which he said had been taken by pure i
I theft. j
I "When Germany's .commerce in-
creased several times as rapidly as did
t England's, then did England become
Germany's enemy," the professor con- ,
I tlnued., "England then determined to
J destroy Germany, because she knew
her existence as a world empire was
j drawing to a clone. And in the last
J and final consideration England is thd
J country that brought about the war. j
! Compelled to Back Anstrla. j
"When Russia backed Servia in her
refusal to give sufficient assurance f
good faith to Austria,, then Germany
was compelled to back Austria. For
Austria weakened meant inevitably that
j, Germany would be destroyed. I
"As a matter of fact, Austria's ulti
! matum in Servia was analagous to the
ultimatum of the United States to
President Huerta of Mexico."
Professor Kuehnemann declared that
the proposal of Sir Edward Grey of
England to have the controversy re-:
ferred to the four principal powers
was nothing but a , clever device , to
throw the odium of the embrogllo upon
Germany, knowing that neither Ger
many nor Austria could possibly con-,
sent to any such adjustment. Such an !
arrangement would mean, he said, that
all the powers would at once be precip- .
Rated Into the conflict against Ger
i many. j
i "A great power cannot abdicate Its
, sovereignty and place .Itself In the
t hands of other powers lri a case where
j 4t honor and existence are at stake."
! he said.
I Belgium Made War Herself.
"The Germans thought that all thev
needed to do was to act rightly. The'
English knew that it was far better to '
make the world think their cause Just
In their acting than to act rightly.
"Documents seized from the allies
show conclusively that England had
been planning to violate the neutrality
of Belgium, and of Holland also, in'
case of war with Germany. Other in-
dications show that these countries ao j
tually were allies of the English and j
French. This was satisfactory proof
that the neutrality of Belgium no'
longer existed, having been broken by
all three powers. Belgium made war
by her own will, and not by the will of
Germany.
"When war. was declared, conditions
were such that for Germany to respect
this so called neutrality of 3elgium
was to sign her own death warrant.
Belgium was a fortress between Eng
land and France against Germany."
Professor Kuehnemann spoke this
morning at Reed college. Tonight he
will discuss other war phases at the
Masonic temple, and will address the
Rotary , club at luncheon tomorrow;
