Excerpt from The Children's Story of the War, Vol. 8: The Last Five Months of the Year 1917 What was the first purpose which we had in mind when we flung down the gage of battle? I need hardly tell you. We saw a little country, blameless in the eyes of God and man, suddenly assailed by a mighty nation which had sworn to keep it free from its foes. Germany had deliberately broken its plighted word, and had flung its armies into Belgium in order to make a sudden swoop upon France.am Every Briton worth the name feels himself instinctively drawn to the side of a little fellow assailed by a big bully. When we saw the big bully trampling the brave little nation under foot, slaying and tortur ing its people and burning and destroying its inheritance, simply because it dared to stand up in defence of its own, our pity and sympathy rapidly flamed up into hot and righteous wrath. In the course of a telegram sent to the President of the United States by the Kaiser on August 10, 1914, and not revealed until the early days of August 1917, the Kaiser said that the neutrality of Belgium had to be violated by Germany on strategical grounds - that is, in order to gain a military advantage over France.
