PUGILIST DEAD FROM PNEUMOMA
"-lpi-
!LOnON, May 24. A memoran
dum written by the late General Von
liissing, governor general in lielgiam,
which, it is nsumed, was prepared
for submission to Emperor William,
Tepresents the policy of a reconcilia
tion between Germany and Belgium
ns illusory and argues for the ab
solute necessity of the annexation of
Belgium us' a preparation for nn
othcr war against Great Britain. The
memorandum declares that no guar
antees, however Ktrong, would. pre
vent Belgium from being swept into
tho enemy camp and that therefore
Belgium must be conipiered. the Bel
gian dynasty abolished and the coun
try held with an iron hand, so ns not
to repeat the mistake made in Alsace
Lorraine and in German Poland in
attempts at conciliation.
Pointing out Jiow the province of
Limlmrg, in southeast Holland, is a
thorn in the sido (if the present Ger
man offeasive, the memorandum eon
tends that the same would happen
with a neutralized Belgium and that
the advantages Germany gained would
accrue to her enemies in the next war
by their possession of the whole of
Belgium.
