BELGIUM MOST THICKLY
SETTLED OF ALL EUROPE

The determined stand made by the
Belgians to keep their eleven thousand
square miles of territory, slightly larger
than the state of Maryland from be
coming battle ground for other ma
tions. rests on an experience of similar
conditions dating back to the days OF
Charlemagne and the early FranklSh
empire.
The greater part of what is now Bel
oium was. in the early history of Eu-
Tope. governed by Teutonic people
Flanders. the remainder of Belgium, was
under French rule. The progress Of the
people of this land up to the early Nine
teenth century was gained only through
constant struggle to escape from en-
croachment of other European nations
Holland. France. Germany, Austria and
Spain, in that nation s glory, all have
tried their hand of holding and govern
ing the Belgian people. The neutrality
viii h Belgium is trying to maintain
was guaranteed in 1882 by Concert of
the Powers, after Belgium had gained
its independence, by severe fighting
from the Dutch. Even then it took a
French and English blockade of the
Dutch coast to firmly establish Belgian
freedom
Belgium is the most thiclIy populated
country in Europe. 1t has an area OF
II 400 square miles with pOpu alton OF
~ million. Maryland, with an area OF
2,327 square miles, has population OF
,294 $50. The density of population in
the little kingdom has enforced the eul
tivation of small farms. The number OF
farms of less than one and one.quartel
acres is more than u million, with Ony
a few thousand of fifty to one hundred
and twenty-five acres. The number Of
larger farms is now ON the increase
partly because of the growth of thu
stock raising industry. Other causes Of
prosperity are the coal mines and thu
textile and iron and steel industries
| Because of the presence of a great mas
of industrial workers the cause o.
socialism is strong.
The capital of the kingdom is Brus
sells, with a population including sub
urbs, of 100000 The nation has nj
navy, but does a large importing ant
exporting trade, with a fair sized mer
chant marine. The chief seaports OF
the North Sea are Ostend, Heyst anC
NieupOrt. The only colony of the coun
try is the Belgian Congo, Africa, whert
rubber is the chief export
Belgium's war strength up to las
year was estimated at 100000. Almos
as if in some fOrehanded knowledge o
the turn of European affairs, ney
law was passed increasing the wa
strength to 100000. This is divided in
to 100000 for field service, 10000 fo
auxiliary service and 100000 for garri
sons. The large garrison force is mad
necessary by the large number Of fort
resses on the several frontiers.
The language of Belgium is largel
French in the south and Flemish in tn
north. The latter tongue is kind o
combination of the tongues of the Meth
erlands and France. Besides this
French patOis is spoken among the peas

PORTUGAL WAVES THE
RED FLAG AT KAISER
Paying No Attention TO Ksiser's De-
mands AS to Her Position, and by
Ignoring Her Silence, She Gives Him
Another Dare.

Lisbon, Aug. 14.-Portugal has flout-
ed, ignored the kaiser, and as yet not
even threat of evil has bCfallen 1t
in return.
The Portuguese declared for England
in the present European war and even
offered troops to help the British
Thereat the Berlin foreign office de-
manded an Immediate definition u or
POrtugal's S attitude in the pending
struggle.
Portugal returned no answer what
ever. 1t paid not the slightest atten'
tion to what the German government
said.
1t was expected an unfavorable Por'
tuguese reply would bring a declaration
of war, and that no reply at all would
bring an ultimatum, to be followed py
declaration of hostilities.
Following it's original demand, now
ever, Germany has had nothing to say
The impression prevailed here that, IN
the press Of more important matters,
the kaiser has forgotten Portugal. Ihe
Portuguese were not entirely satisfied
with thin. Many were infavOr OF an.
other declaration of a nature to attract
the German rulers attention again.
