ONE OF THE SAPPFST ti *1*^1 'IM- * • j
running .-f the king.lom of IVIgium In the romnioring armies of Germany.
The kaiser has stated that he will make i
BOOK LITTLE BE LG 11 M amends to Belgium after the war and that
he was forced to invade Belgian territory to
prevent some of the ether |H>wers from doing so. and the kaiser may he right,
for the great pow* > i a\. never b. * n noted fot merciful consideration of the
weaker. France m it, ftm has ignored the claims of others. Britain has
taken and held smaller and weaker co es Kussia, as well as Austria, has
turned a deaf ea. to ti e wa« , of "the fair land of Boland”. Germany has
wrenched Alsace .uni Lorraine from then motherland. Persia. Egypt. South
Africa. Corea. Crete. Moiror.o aim a thousand others ot the nations m mod
ern time, have U t the n e- c„ ‘ ami of superior power and they know that
m;ght has been regarded as r i t. but never, taking all things into consider
. . o„. a, a . .tv deserve.i • e to etain its freedom than the progressive
little kingdom wl nh today i, m arly all in the hands of the foreigner.
England ami Wales together, with the power of u mighty empire behind
them. ha> made no great, r proportionate advance than Belgium which has a
,ifth of their combined ana and just a fifth of their combined population.
If we take the other pa* >n > in the British empire we find that Belgium is
far more progro vv. In ami about three times the size of Belgium and
ha, not g ‘t much iron* th.e h; ' as much population. The area ot Scotland
quare n cs and tin area of Belgium is U.M7M square miles. Yet
the population ot Bo •. " 7., w Itile the population of Scotland is only
4.760.000.
It i, hard to ntak. a v fa.' * npa> ;,on, between Belgium and some of our
own newer territ ere. but it may be said as a guide for the better
B< - im tl at the states of Washington,
Oregon and Cab torn i havi . .-t a out thirty times the area of Belgium but
at the last * • *i, - tho (•" .i* ■ u pop • aliens were not veiv tuiuh nn>io than
b.alf that of the little kv . < o whi. h has now practically converted its
ploughshares into swords »*’ its uefensc.
Speaking about IM G ;ir, it s interesting in an amateur way now to in
dulge in speculation to the r- u intentions of Germany which have so long
been a mystery. It a* :*• u< a era y lined that the Germans would go
straight from I . * >* l • ,o 'hwo-t toward, l ' ance but sudtlenly they
march into Brus,. , a”> continue ,tra cht as a tine foi tin* Belgian iiMst.
The city of Bruges, win re they wen to have entered yesterday, is only lit
t*en miles front Ost*-nd on t .* c n,t. thirty miles from the French frontier
, tu.e .-xtrem. '. o- tit is only thirty miles from the great
* ity of Calais, t t •' .: ipn rt **r the Ft Gish trade and only twenty
odd miles from England and in view ot it.
p. looking at many* tak« s ( alais she w ill
command one side ot the St rad , ot Pov«*r, the narrow channel which connects
the English channel w ith the North S« a. By holding Calais she can keep a
fleet constantly it! ■ about t o 'ours journey of England and by doing so
she would compel Great Britain to keep a fleet for all time there on the wateh
against possible invasion and ,coulu secure a greater advantage than could
be obtained by building great additions to her Meet.
But. of course. Germany lias not yet taken Calais and. if what the dis
patches say is correct. -he ha not yet met the main forces of the allies in
the north.
What tremen on, possihi!it es the next few days are fraught with in a
historical sense!
Another fart which we bunn by c -n tilting the map of Europe is that if
the British fleet went to K where the German fleet is said to be it would
have to go more than 7* (» mil* , from the English coast while the German
fleet could slip thro: G the Kiel canal at a trace only MOO miles from Eng
land. Evidently those Gormans were awake.
