q cheer was raised, not handkerchief
waved. The love of the Belgian people
may be earned; it cannot be bought.
Queen Elizabeth was filled with two
great fears while her children were still
babies. She was afraid of microbes and
she was afraid Of anarchists. To fight
the microbes she placed disinfectants
everywhere: insisted upon all who entered
the royal nurseries leaving coats, cloaks
and furs aside and garbing themselves
in weird garments prescribed by some
courtly doctor
Her precautions against anarchists were
more simple, but more pitiable. The lit
tie princes were never allowed to play
together out Of doors. If one was killed
by a vile bomb at least the other should
survive. So thought the queen. Now the
princes go freely where they will. No
place in Belgium is forbidden to them
There may be anarchists in Belgium but
the queen knows her children's lives are
safe, for all in Belgium love them and
her.
The love of the Belgians for their king
and queen grew from respect. Belgium,
one OF the smallest. is the most demo-
cratic country in Europe. The fierce light
that beats upon the throne beats nowhere
more fiercely than in Belgium. All 1t re-
vealed was ever to the good of the new
kings household.

second, Schuyler third and Putnam
fourth. Lee scornfully referred to Ward
as fat old church warden, who was a
joke as warrior. But he accepted the
appointment on June II, ITS, and few
days later he formally resigned from the
British army. He was in service around
Boston just after Bunker Hill. and did

Ward resigning after the British evac-

general. and second in command to
Washington. From Massachusetts, Lee
went to Rhode Island to recruit and drill
men, and when Charlestown was threat

take charge Of its defense. How the
attack on Charlestown was repulsed is
history. Lee got full credit for it, and
when he came back north he was high in
popular favor. He wrote a multitude of
letters at this time. He was eager to

With pen and speech he let his senti-

Maybe he was expressing his honest SEN
timents. Maybe he was working off some
of the wrath he had stored up by reason
of the neglect and the affronts to which
he had been subjected by the government.
However that may be, 1t is a fact that he
did important service in the cause of
freedom. Unquestionably he gave point

minds of most of the colonists. It was a
time of bitterness. 1t was g. time for
satire and vigorous expression. 1t was a
time for talents such as Lee possessed to
appeal most to men.
Lee wrote a great deal to friends in
London, particularly to Edmund Burke.
He predicted that war was coming and
that England would lose the colonies. He
