NOTES AND C0119NTS
Germany broke down the barrier of
Belgium with comparative ease in that
lint rush on Paris. To -day she Ands
Belgium perhaps a greater barrier to
her designs than it was in the days of
its first heroic struggle. The prost-
rate country with its record of un-
deserved suffering confronts her like
an angel with a flaming sword at
every turn in which she would instit-
ute negotiations or conciliate opinion
on grounds of humanity.
Germany makes peace proposals to
the allies based on such grounds.
What do the allies answer ? "Belgium.
Germany intimates she is willing in
' good faith to enter into arrangements,
permanently to safeguard the peace of
Europe. What do her enemies say
they think of the good faith of this
profession? "Belgium." Germany
unofficially intimates that there is no
issue•between her and the allies as re-
gards the rights of -smaller national-
ities. Again the answer: "Belgium!"
Germany wishes to conciliate neutral
opinion—at least as an aid to peace,
which she desires. What stands great-
ly in the way of that design? Belgium.
German liberalism wants to convince
the world that it is a real force. What
helps to nullify its best efforts? Bel-
gium and Belgian deportations. Ger-
many wishes to get the better of the
moral argument to the neutral mind,
The allies reply with "Belgium"!
Germany must wonder if, after all,
it was worth while. In view of the
added bitterness it lends to the world
conflict, the added strength it gives to
the allied resolution to keep on fight-
ing, the added difficulty it imposes on
Germany in dealing with neutral opin-
ion, the added obstacle to peace it
furnishes, Belgium, with Paris ungain-
ed, must now look more like a liabili-
ty than an asset.
GERMANY WANTS PEACE.
Extracts From a Conversation With a
German Diplomatist.
One may regard the old war spirit
as definitely dead in Germany. Every
one wants peace, even the Junker
class. The peace movement is very
strong among the commercial and
working . classes, and at the court it-
self every one professes horror at
the continuation of Ole slaughter., All
adeae of. annexa;tleas and Weirirt
flare .va"i led., •, On the "other land '
no oneethinks that the Allies can im-
pose peace terms n Germany.
"Life in court circles is very dull.
The Emperor is constantly at the
front, and the Empress—in pleasant
contrast to most ladies of the court
—is an enthusiastic war worker. If
the new compulsory civilian service
is fairly applied to women, the ladies
of the aristocracy will suffer most."
It appears that no one, not even
his old-time military friends, has a
good word to say for the Crown
Prince. A joke among hostesses,
amusing at first, but since become
tiresome, is to whisper to their favor-
ite guests when the Crown Prince is
present: Not a word about Verdun.
He is extremely taciturn these days,
and freely disclaims all personal re-
sponsibility for the Verdun catas-
trophe, maintaining that the whole
idea for the attack was imposed upon
him by the General Staff. He and
Hindenburg have become excellent
friends these days.
In Germany there is undoubtedly a
widespread and ever-growing desire
for peace, and a powerful and growing
suspicion of the Government.

Capt. Robert Dollar, of San Fran-

Vancouver, B.C., Rotary Club, stated:
"The Russian trade is an unknown

The Russians will likely have but the
one port of Vladivostok to offer as
the only certaitt port, and taiat might
be shut at any time the Russians so
wished. It is to China that you must
look for your future trade, and I de-
sire to emphasize this fact right now
that China will be your mainstay in
the future in foreign trade relations
just as soon as the Chinaman learns
his own purchasing power, "China
has only been scratched for trade," he
said, "and when you stop to consider
