IVencli urmlwt invade neighbors' territory, occupy it, establish inatrial law. seize anil run the railways, regulate Its press, deport tens of thousands of Its Inhabitants. Imprison or shoot down nil who resist, and then proclaim that this is not an act of war. it Is only a peaceful occupation to enforce rlchta under a peace treaty.

And Trench and English fought in India without any diplomatic rupture between Versailles and St. James'.' But in those days those lands were very remote, and the control over the center of events at these distances was intermittent and occasionally feeble. And sometimes it suited governments to Ignore what was taking place on the fringe of the days an empire. But even in attack on homeland meant war., and it would mean war today were the attacked countries not powerlera, have heard it said that there is one law for the rich and another for the poor.
