Belgian Aviation Officer
Says Germans Cannot
Conquer City.

Charles Hoogstoel, a reservist Of
fcer of the Belgian aviation corps,
was at the McAlpin Hotel yesterday
en- route to his native land, where he
will take his place in the aviation
corps, or, if there are no vacancies,
take rank as lieutenant OF engl-
neers. He was satisfied, he said, that
when he reached Belgium the German
army still would be in check at Liege.
AS soon as the summons reached
him Mr.. Hoogstoel made all haste
from his home in Toronto. Canada,
to New York. In Toronto he is an
officer of the Belgo-Canadian Con-
struction Company. The first rum
blings of the war injured his bust
ness, he said, and on the day that
Great Britain became a belllgerent
he lost four large building contracts.
OF the seventeen Belgian reservlsts
in Toronto, fifteen already have left
for the front, he said, and the other
two will leave to-day or tomorrow.
Belgians. he said, had no difficulty
in leaving Canada, but other nation,
alities, especially the Russians, found
it hard to get railway transportation
until there was some assurance that
boat passage could be obtained to
their native land. The war enthusi-
asm in Canada was intense, Mr.. hoog-
stoel said.
Mr.. Hoogstoels two brothers are
officers now in the field, and he was
brought up in military atmosphere
which, he says, is CHARACTERISTIC OF ms
country. "the battlefield Of Europe.
Mr.. Hoogstoel's grandfather, who lived
to the age of ninety-seven, had oeen
a lieutenant in the army OF Napoleon
at Waterloo.
"The Belgians have been preparing
for this day for years" said Mr.. Hoog,
stoel. although its neutrality mad
been assured, King Leopold, back IN
1909 when the German Emperor was
worsted in the Congo, foresaw that the
day was coming when Emperor VIII
lam would seek to even the score. he
directed then that the Belgian army
be raised to 100000 and not be Al
lowed to fall below that number,
"The reservists, especially those
! about Liege, are intelligent ana aoIe'
bodied artisans. Every reservist ON

the present European war the United
States would be fighting her soon
sfterward. He based this forecast on
the fact that, in the event of victory,
Germany would seize Holland and her
possessions, which include important
approaches to the Panama Canal. This
the United States would never allow,
he says.
In an Interview on the causes and
POSSIBLE results Of the war Of the ma
tons he said to-day:
SHOULD Germany win decisive and
complete victory she undoubtedly
would seize Belgium and Holland.
Every one knows Germany wants Hol-
land; there are two reasons. In the
first place, sentiment demands il, for
there is a feeling that all the German
race should be under the German fac.
Secondly, the Dutch possessions in the
East Indies are the very richest, in

Sumatra. Naturally, Germany wants

Right here is where the interest OF
the United States comes into this war.
Admiral Mahan. as a military expert,
has stated that one of the great prob
lens of the world is who would get the
Dutch possessions.
"If Germany snnexes Holland, then
she will get control of Curacao, a
