IN' READING the war news it would always be advisable to watch the
name of the place from which it is dated. We can hardly expect a dispatch
from Berlin to tell us that the Germans have been
THE WAR NEWS routed with great slaughter or anything like it. It
would be unwise to accept a dispatch from Brus
sels. on the other hand, which stated that the Germans are fleeing in terror
from the Belgians, and if a St. Petersburg telegram says that the Austrians
are annihilated by the troops of the cznr just get a salt cellar to work.
These are the obvious facts but there are also things to be avoided which
are less obvious. For instance, we should first have a perfect knowledge of
the working of the great European press agencies and the positions ot the
chief cable and telegraph lines before we accept any*news as gospel. With
out the shadow of a doubt there will be many stories sent over the world’s
wires which will not be the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth
during this war. but we can reach something near the truth by keeping on
the lookout. Nowadays the truth soon comes out.
After the battle of Manila bay the news went to London that the Span
iarfis wore the Motors, ami. to no back further, it is a matter of history that
the first news arriving in that city about the battle of Waterloo was to the
effect that Napoleon had won.
Talking about Waterloo reminds one of the fact that it is by no means
unlikely that another decisive battle may be fought near the same famous
field within a very short time. Waterloo is about four miles from the city
of Brussels, the capital of Belgium, and is. therefore, about in the center ol
that country. The Belgians expect a British force to come to their assistance
and this force would have to land at a point at which it and the German army
at Liege would bo eo ii distant from Brussels and Waterloo. If both armies
began their march at the same time, one headed for France and the other to
head them off. it is more than reasonable to expect that they would meet near
the same historic old ground. Of course the Germans will have to tight thoii
ay anil the British will have a clear road anil this may alter matters.
But what a knock such a happening would be to the adage about history
repeating itself. The countrymen of Blueher this time will be the enemies
and the countrymen of Napoleon are the a lies of the countrymen of Welling
ton.
But what beautiful countries are about to be devastated by the war demon.
The plains of Belgium are the gentlest and most fertile on earth and her
people in times of peace are nature’s ladies and gentlemen. But Belgians
have the blood of the Flemish in their veins and the men of Flanders have
been fighters for many centuries. Her cities arc mostly ones mellowed by
the passing of time but some of them are worthy of being the cities of om
of the most progressive countries as Belgium is.
In the city of Antwerp alone there are scores of thousands of Germar
residents. Indeed there are probably more Germans than Belgians there and
the result of the invasion by the Germans of that country would be similai
in its effects on a smaller scale to an invasion of the United States by the
same power. There the Germans would meet great masses of their own
countrymen and here they would meet them also.
Poor old Belgium; she has been the battle ground of giants, the buffer
state of the powers of Kurope for a long, long time. And yet that little
country, which is only one-fiftieth the size of Alaska and a sixth of the size
of the state of Washington, has nearly eight million of the most prosperous
people.
