The New York Herald and the New York Times, which should be impar- tial critics, excuse the violation of treaties by Germans as an incident of the war. The Herald says these international agreements sound well in times of peace, but in times of war they are not worth the paper they were written on. 'The Times assumes that in the forty years dur: ing which Germany was preparing for the events of to-day, it is a question whether the violation of neutrality in Luxemburg, away back in 1867, was slightest scruple. And vet there is such a thing as honour umong tions, and these nations have a re pect for il even yn times of war. iN67, from na- Luxemburg, away back in was quargnteed absolute immunity trespass, - and Prussia, (the old king- liom), a party to the agree ment, and a party that would have brooked the insult veyed in the statement that it ait the time only shamming.
