WHO ARE THE HUNS?

The Neutrality of Belgium,
based upon its alleged knowledge of the intention of Germany
to invade Belgium. But it had never made the slightest attempt
to make like preparations for the eventuality of an Anglo-
French invasion of Belgium nor to discuss this matter with
the German Government or with the proper military authorities
in Germany, although it was well aware of the intentions of
the Entente Powers in this connection—as proved by the
material found. ,
The Belgian Government had already made up its mind
to join the enemies of Germany and to make common cause
with them. Since the system of vilification in vogue among our
enemies compels them simply to lie away the existence of
inconvenient facts, the Imperial Government has seen fit to
publish facsimile copies of the documents in question and to
bring them to the knowledge of the governments of the Neutral
States." 1 :
The document bears in a large bold hand the inscription
"Convention Anglo-Beige." To say that all this was discussed
and prepared for the event of an invasion on the part of Germany
is to offer an objection of the most naive sort. The
text of the paper, especially the part containing the observations
of the English military attaché, is a direct contradiction
of this statement.
The Documents and Proofs Substantiating the Belgian
Betrayal.
These increase constantly in number and furnish the most
damning evidence in an absolutely incontrovertible fashion.
i. On the ist of December, 1914, the "Norddeutsche Allgemeine
Zeitung" published the following official communication
:
1 A great controversy still rages about this highly-important document.
Its existence is extremely unpleasant for England. Even Sir Edward Grey
is forced to descend from his position of proud inaccessibility. Under the
date of the 28th of January Wolff's Bureau officially repudiates the falsity
of the representations made by the English Press Bureau in London. See
the "Norddeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung" of the 28th of January 1915, also
the English White Book, No. 105 with three appendices, also the letters exchanged
between Paul Cambon and Sir Edward Grey on the 22nd and 23rd
of November, 1912.
