THE TRAGEDY OF BELGIUM.

Smaller than Maryland, but with
i population nearing 100000, Bel
GUM was the most densely pcoplod
country in the world. Centuries OF
thrift had made its soil an incom-
parable garden; its huge industries
cxacted great imports of food. Ant
wcrp stood, perhaps, second to New
York in the bulk of its commerce.
Generations of skilled architects
had enriched the doomed land with
cities whose beauty was the despair
Of emulation. To call the roll OF
towns like BruGes. Ypres. Louvain'
Client, Courtzai, is to bring up VS.
ions of pictured beauty familiar to
The world. To call another roll. be-
ginning with Waterloo and Dude
narde, is to name Belgium as the
cockpit of past wars: but to give
Europe n buffer for peace, its neu-
tarlity for the future was guaran-
iced by treaty. Having little faith
IN the false oaths of empcrors, the
Belgians taxed industry to sustain
an army of a quarter of q million
soldiers and reserves.
This was Belgium. Today it is
ruin. German arms have crushed a
resistance which German diplomacy
admits was Legitimate" and mill
tary governors "pay" for food and
supplies with contributions wrung

WAR COSTS.
(From Collier's.)

Those who predict ruined En-
rope after the war must remembe'
that this depends partly upor
whether or not the present struggI
settles the armament question. Ell
rope now spends over one thousanr
million dollars per annum on tn
war business. If part or all OF this
can be saved 1t will go far in the
work of restoration. Furthermore,
war is tremendous inspircr of en-
ergy, as France proved after 1877"
and as we proved after the civil
war, Science and industry will go
forward even faster when freed OF
some of the burden of the military
fanatics. Our civilization is not to
be overturned.

"Clean living for the games sake" has
