BRITAIN'S JUST CAUSE
EMPHASISED BY MR ROOSEVELT
New York, September 25. Mr. Theodore Roosevelt, in an article in the "Outlook," says there is room for sincere differences of opinion about the initial positions of Austria, Servia, Russia, Germany, and France, but for England, when once Belgium was'invaded, every circumstance of national honour and interest forced her to act as she did. She could not have held up her head among the nations had she acted otherwise. It was impossible not to face the danger of. a trans-Atlantio application of General, von Bernhardi's doctrines that might is right. The United States must be prepared. The peace treaties, The Hague Court, and the* whole pacifist stock-in-trade would be useless unless backed by force.
