Show Farewell, Belgium London, 13. The Pall Mall Gazette asserts that Germany is urging Belgium Bel-gium to accept the German protector- ate and make her military system conform to Germany, iu return for a I guarantee of independence in all other respects, and for territorial com-1 pecsation. Germany argues that Belgium, in the event of another Franco-German war, would probably be the ba'.tle ground and be absorbed by the victor. A military convention with Belgium now would render Germany Ger-many unavailable. Tbe Gazette believes that these arguments ar-guments have made a great way in very high quarters. |
