Belgium has a right to the sym
pathy of the world. A peaceful and
industrious people, asking nothing
but to be let alone, they have been
wantonIy invaded, in defiance of
sworn obligations, and are being ex-
posed to the worst hsrdships of the
war. The invasion of Belgium by
Germany is an indefensible crime,
and for it alone that power deserves
defeat.
