Belgium, was guilty of hostile acts

They called it a "perpetual neu-
tralization," the signatory powers
consisting of Russia, Prussia, Aus-
tria' Franee and England, entered
intoa, treaty that certain designat-
ed small countries should be re-
served from conquest by every other
power, and they united in what they
called a "guaranty of neutrality."
There were nine such areas, not all
in Europe, 'covered by this treaty,
among them Belgium, in 1821, Lux-
emburg, Switzerland, etc., coming
in at different dates later on:
The great significance of these -
treaties is that they indicate a defi-
nite purpose on the part of the
great powers to remove certain pos-
sible, points of friction from the
arena of war.
• The Belgia,n treaty -was superced-
ed by a later one, bearing date in
1839, and all were in full force and
effect when the present great war
began. The chief purpose of these
agreements was to remove the pos-
sibility of any one nation gaining an
advantage over its neighbor by de-
stroying or annexing a. region in
which other powers were intensely
interested, and not so much to pro-
tect the weak nation from' spolia-
tion.
This system of neutralization wa,s
greatly strengthened by the second
Hague Conference in 1907, which
adopted a, chapter 011 "the Rights
and Duties of Neutral Powers," and
the first signature to.this was by a
distinguished official representative
of the German Government. Eaoh
of the signatory nations (and this
includes Great Britain), gained the
right to demand and expeet that
none of the other powers would vio-
late the neutrality of any of the
states enumerated in the treaty in
case of war. Each agreed to keep
"hands off" entirely, so that the
others- might have no excuse for
laying hands on! But, independent
of all treaties or Hague Conven-
tions, the right of any state to re-
main mieutral has ever been recog-
nized throughent history. A State
has, a right to be treated as neutral
' ly because it ip m fact neutral
Switzerland has succeeded in main-
taining her neutrality because of
the pectiliar conformation of her
surface, and while Belgium's neu-
tralization has been threatened sev-
eral times since 1830, because the
country is fiat and easily invaded on
every side. ,

It ean be either in writing or by
word of mouth, He need not wait
until he is twenty-one either, as a.
civilian has to do. The important
point which is always cropping up,
however, is, when is a soldier in
actual military service?
There were some interesting eases
on the point, after the Boer War.
'When the War Offiee wanted volun-
teers for South Afriea, a, certain
young man offered himself. He
,passed all the medical tests and
went into barracks, which happened
to be in the same town. He then
made his will in barracks.
Later an he went out to South
Africa, where he was killed in at -
tion. His will was disputed, and
an attempt made to upset it on the
ground that he was not in actual
military servite when it was made.
It was decided, however, that as
soon as he had taken certain steps

dier s
The privilege extends not only to
Foldiers, but to sailors as well. In
the ease of a, sailor be must be at
sea when the will is made. As
usual in these cases, it is left to the
courts to say nig) is a sailor within
the meaning of the Act. For in-
stance, a purser on board a warship
had made a will without the usual
forniahties. Subsequently the will
was questioricd and the question
was, "Was a purser a seaman I"
The eonrt decided that he was.
More than one will has been
made on the battlefield, and more
than one soldier has died from
wuunds within a few minutes of
scribbling out a dying message
which has been eonstrued into a
will.
During the Boer war, one of One
soldiers, before gving to the trench-
es, told One tif his officers that if he
were killed he wanted all his pro-
perty to go to a certain person. The
officer happened to make a note
of it.
Later on the soldier's name found
its way on the roll of honor, and a
dispute arose (tver his belongings.
The officer produced his notes of the
dead man's wishes, and it was held
that they were a good and valid
will.
Lastly, it may be remarked that
this privilege of the soldier is no
new thing, for it Was introdueed by
Julius Ctesar for the benefit of his
Roman army. It was introduced in
England in In7.
