WHY WE ARE AT WAR WITH GERMANY By EPHRAIM DOUGLASS ADAMS Exesutlvo Head, History Depart ment Leland Stanford Junior University WE FIGHT FOR GOOD FAITH i "The faith of treaties Is tho only wild foundation on which n Temple of Peace can bo built up." (James Bryce.) Good faith between nations, o brttreen men, Is the ono and only Htfeguard from a return to barbarism. Without It brute force, sheer might. raw rule. Without It there is no surit In human relations no se curity, even, for life Itself. To keep one's word, when onco given, that Is the evidence of ihe progress of civ ilixatiou, and the test of It. Hence the case of Belgium becomes tb single greatest" German offense against civilization in this war. At first, in our American ignoranco of world conditions, we did not see this. .We do see it now; more and more we realise that until the crime against Belgium Is atoned for, there can be no beace, and no hopd of a world at punce. What the the facts? Br treaties . signed in 1S15, and again In 1831, and still ajpiln in 1839, this last revision beta In effect in 1014, it was agreed "I8lglum shall form a perpetually neutral state. The five powers guar- intee to it this perpetual neutrality, as also the Inviolability of its ter rttory." These five powers were Aus tria, France, Great Britain, Russia and Prussia. By such treaties the neutral state was pledged to defend in arms the neutrality of Its terrl tory; and each of the great powers pledged itself not only not to march troops into or through the neutral state, but also to aid her, in caso har territory were violated. The world, thinking no nation bo base as to break Its word, was com pletely taken by surprise by the at tack on Belgium. But wo know now from German statements, that German military plans had for years intended to break this pledge. German rulerf lied as to this consistently, and lied up to the last day. On tho morning before the German troops advanced the German minister assured Belgium she need feel no alarm, and in the evening of that same day he delivered his ultimatum. The world has never seen so com plete a denial of the binding" effect of the pledged word. AVhy has Ger many so lost sight of tho principle of honor among nat!ons7 Her own answer reveals the cause; It is again the plea of might. "The fate that Bel aium has called down upon herself ((note the hypocrisy of this) Is hard, nut not too hard, . . . for the destinies of the immortal great na Hons stand so high that they can not but have the right, in caso of' need, to stride over existences that can not defend themselves." (Pro-, fessor Oncken.) When tho British Minister at Berlin notified the Ger man Chancellor that Great Britain ,Tvas in honor bound to defend Bel triu m'n neutrality, the latter argued Itiaf till tIo l'T.n.lklA ri 4trar Mnut "IV TTMO 1 I llIU, U .1 t. JUDI for a word 'neutrality' Just for a icrap of paper." The pltifui yes, the terrible significance of such utter t anccs, is that Qermans believe" them justified.

America was not a direct guarantor, like Great Britain, of the neutrality of Belgium, though In various con ventlons (of which Germany also was a signer) we pledged to the main tenance of the world principle Of "good faith." But evdry nation was attacked when Gormany broke faith. "The law protecting Belgium which wns ' vlo lated was our law and tho law of every other civilized country. . . It was our safeguard against the neces sity of maintaining great nrmaments Our interest in havinu it maintained as the law of nations teas a s'ubstzn tial, valuable, permanent interest." (Ellhu Root.) In the hope of an enduring pence. In tho hope of an advancing civilization, wo can not forget Belgium. In the hope for unmolested self-development, in the sense of our iwn security ncc essary to progress, wo must nof forget Belgium, until her wrongs nre righted Tojuo heirs of John P.

If you could stand in the middle of Europe today and survoy tho land to Its borders,' you would discover Its whole population of 400,000,000 human beings short of food. Millions of peo ple In Poland, Finland, Serbia, Ar menia and Russia are dying of starva tion and other millions are sufforlng from too little food. Our Allies and the noutrals are living on tho barest margins that will support life and strength. This, tho most appalling nnd dread ful thing that has coirio to humanity slnco the dawn ot civilization, is to mo the outstanding creation of Ger man militarism. The Gormans them selves are not tho worst sufferers They aro oxtorting at tho cannon's mouth the harvests and cattlo of the people they have ovorrun, leaving them in desolation. If the war were t.o cease tomorrow, the toll of actual dead from starvation within tho Ger man lines would doublo or treblo the 5,000,000 or 6,000,000 of men who have' been actually killed., by Gormany and' her allies .in aTms, Tho 10,000,000 peo ple in occupied Belgium and Northern France would have died of starvation had it not been for us and the Allies. Wo must build our food resources to stand ready for any demands upon ub by tho Allies. It is of no purpose to us to send millions of our best to Franco If' wo fail to maintain the' strength of their men, women and' chlldron on our lines of communica tion. This United States is the last reservoir of men, tho last rosorvolr of Bhips, the last reservoir of munitions and tho last rbsofvolr of food upon which tho Allied world must depend if Germany Is to bo" defeated and It nv utm u ui wu U1VUJ Notice of Final Settlement.
