he is cracked up to be. And the little
Dutch Queen in her little Dutch pal
ace with her adoring little Dutch king
dom standing in the streets demanding
an heir to the throne, probably would
be glad to trade places with any of
the girls of the Research Club and
sit around in kimona chewing her
led pencil into a rag, getting up a
paper for the club on the Influence
of Byzantine Art on the Work OF the
Italians of the Renaissance" They
say in her kingdom that she Is a dem
ocratic little body-that she puts on
a shirt waist and pique skirt that is
shrunken out of shape, and goes sail
ing out to do her own shopping with
out an escort and without a guard.
The people clearly love her to death
though why, is not obvious to an
American. For she is without power
in the kingdom.
The government is entirely in the
hands of the people and the queen is
merely a social figurehead. But the
people love the Queen and are anx-
ious for her to have a big family to
preserve the succession against the
Germans, so she has to devote more
of her time to sewing little white
things than she would in Emporia.
And so long as it came about nat
urally, and so long as we had to see
at least one Queen-it is just as well
to have seen this little shirt waist
Queen of Holland surrounded by her
adoring people.
For the next kingdom that we en-
tered was Belgium, where they have
an old rake of king-an unspeakable
old roue whom the people are much
ashamed of. But he has no power to
speak Of. either, and the people go on
governing themselves. and making a
good job of 1t in spite OF him. He is

The Battlefield of Waterloo

But to US the most interesting
thing in Belgium was not the gallery
of Flemish painters at Antwerp
though we saw lot OF Reubens'
fat women there-nor the great CO.
operative stores and workshops OF
the Socialists In Brussels; the most
interesting thing in Belgium to US
was the battlefield OF Waterloo. For
there was one of the great tragedies
of history enacted-the defeat and
fall of Napoleon Bonaparte.
So We spent an afternoon in the
field. 1t is a great wide upland-roll-
ing and broken. about like the up
lands Of Eastern Kansas We saw it
on June IL, about as 1t was when the
battle was fought, June IS. 1915. 1t
was covered with wheat and grain
and grass. And in the grain grew
millions of scarlet peoples. How
their scarlet and the blood of the
soldiers must have blended that
fearful day. In the midst of the
field where the English stood a mon
ument rises-a high mound made by
scooping away the sides of the sunk
en- road wherein the French cavalry
was entombed in living death.
From the top of the mountain one
can see all over the tield; one sees
the crescent shape of Naolepon's line
and one sees the admirable position
of his enemies. One sees the place
where the British square stood which
received Napoleon's cavalry charge,
time after time, and wore him out
that fatal afternoon. Beef against
nerves. the immovable before the in
domitable, and finally nerves were
frayed the indomitable losts its
strength and sheer, rugged bull
strength won, as II always wins in the
long run.
Napoleon could conquer anything in
the world but that one thing; stolid
Unconditional British persistence

less showing ahead. All that-and
the tragedy Of it to Napoleon is evi-
dent on this great battlefield and
when we came down from the mound
we rode over the field and saw the
brick wall in the chateau Hougomont.
where the British soldiers stood all
day resisting the French charge.
/ brick had fallen from the wall
and we picked II up and broke 1t in
two for Bill and Mary. II may serve
TO show them some day how the world
needs brute strength and sheer cour-
age and point out the tragedy that
comes TO an indomltable spirit.
But by the time BIZ and Mary are
grown, let us hope that either the
English or the Germans will buy the
