BELGIAN SOLDIERS ARE GAME
AND FULL OF LOGIC
BY William c. Shepherd, United Press
Correspondent.
Antwerp, Sept. I (By Courier to
Ostend and Mail to New ork).-The
little Belgian soldier who climbed in
to the compartment was dead tired;
he trailed his rife behind him, threw
himself into the seat and fell sound
asleep. He was ready to talk when
he awOke an hour later.
Eyes, l was up all night with Ger
man prisoners" he said. cit was a
bad job, there were only 16 of us to
handle 200 Germans. We had four
box cars and we put 25 prisoners in
one end of the car and 25 at the other,
and then four of us with rifles sat
guard by the car door.
1--WE rode five hours that way and
1 expected every minute that the
whole so Germans in the car would
jump on us four and kill us. Four to
fifty; that's heavy odds. But we

enough soldiers in Belgium to do all
the work, so we have. to make out
the best we can"
That's the plucky little Belgian SOL
der, all over.
In the first place he's different from
most soldiers, because he is willing
to fight when he knows he's going
to lose.
1--WE have to make out the best we
can, is his motto.
In the second place, he's a common
sense little fellow. Even while he's
fighting, he's doing it coolly, and
there is no blind hatred in his heart
that causes him to waste any effort.
He gets down to the why and where
fore of things.
81 really felt sorry for those Ger
man prisoners" said a comrade of
the first soldier. "They were all de-

to Liege before they knew they were
in Belgium instead of France.
We didn't want to hurt Belgium
they told us, because we're from Al
sace-Lorraine ourselves.
You see," continued the logical
little Belgium, cit wasn't their fault,
so we couldn't be mad at them" ~.
That is the Belgian's idea-cOol
logic.
'Why did you fight the Germans?"
asked high government official.
Because civilization can't exist
without treaties and it is the duty
that nation owes to civilization to
fight to the death when written treat
les are broken" was the reply.
ct must be a rule among nations
that to break treaty means to fight.
The Germans broke the neutrality
treaty with Belgium and we had to
fight"
But did you expect to whip the
Germans?"
How could we? We knew that
hordes of Germans would follow the
first corners, but we had no right to
worry about who would be whipped;
all we had to do was to fight and
we've done it the best we could.
It has been a cool-headed logical
matter with the Belgians from the
start. Treaties are made with ink;
they're broken with blood, and just
as naturally and cody as the Belgian
diplomats used ink in signing the
treaties with Germany so the Belgian
soldiers have used their blood in try .
ing to maintain the agreement.
