Duck lu 1H70. when tho war broke out between Prance und Prussia, there was a niuuieutury fear that either power might disregard treaties of neutrality for the sake of military od vantage. The British foreign office ap proached both belligerents on thu sub ject, and both consented to sign treaties pledging themselves to hold Belgian territory inviolable. The guarantee was honorably ob served by both sides, and tho question of Belgium's status lu case of war was never thought of nguiu until thc gov ernment of Holland took the resolu tion of fortifying ita seacoast about the beginning bf 1010. This movement WHS snld to have IKH'U tho result of pressure from the kaiser, who feared an invasion of Holland by England threatening Germany with a think at tack- The Dutch n-oject included the construction of forL -t Flushing strong enough to stop the ..avlgatlou of tho Scheldt lu case of war.

The lower one ts a view ne of the chief cities or the kingdom scheme, involving $40,000,000 expendi ture for the renewal of the coast de fenses, including the fortification ot Flushing, at the mouth of the river Scheldt, caused mnch comment la the European press. Some regarded it as the result of Germany's pressure to secure the coast ngalnst Great Britain in the event of a war between that country and Germany. The fact that tho bill made no provision for the de fense of th" eastern frontier was re garded as significant. The Dutch for eign minister, however, denied any in terference In Dutch Internal affaira on thc part of nny foreign power. The bill finally passed in 1013.
