COLONEL HAVARD TALKS ON BELGIUM BEFORE
 < ALLIANCE FRANCATSE''

v-,. 2
 Before the members of the Bridge port .Csroupe" of the Alliance Fran caise Colonel valery Havard of Fair field, gave most interesting
 ca userfe" last evening at the Strat- field Colonel Havard was introduced by Jonathan Godfrey, president of the
 earoupe,'' in the happiest kind of way and everyone present had delight full evening.
 It was announced as a lecture. It was not a. lecture Rather was it a. fascinating little Journey taken with Colonel E1avard into Belgium, through every quaint old town of toll and traffic led by. the colonel who is ia miliar with every turn of the road and who illustrated his story with se- lected pictures of famous places
 With the quiet voice and manner of the true straconteur,' Colonel Havard alluded to the history of Bel gium, and touched lightly on some of the valorous deeds and. incidents brave ittleo country back in the years when Caesar led his Roman legions north and wrote of the tribes he found tshorum omnium forttssimi sunt Belgae. His hearers followed him along the banks of the Mouse. to and thence to the seacoast at Ostend Through the old narrow, cobbled streets of the middle ages, past old cathedrals along whose facades were rows of "saints and angels carved in stone, by rows upon rows of .tcor-. poration'' houses with high peaked roofs and quaint carvings, past foiin- tains and statues. by park and esplan- ade, one followed a fascinating way At Bruges the old belfry held the attention, standing overlooking the square and most of the town for wherever one had a glimpse of the belfry tower over the roofs of the old city.
 Tn the marketp1ace at Bruges stands the belfry, old and brown; Thrice consumed and thrice rebuild ed, still it watches OCT the town''
 Having watched through all the centuries the pageants of the middle ages, the wars, and the glorious com pany of immortal heroes, whose marble effigies are today occupying places of honor in public square or. park, the Belfry of Bruges is stand ing erect, and watching.
 One idea brought forcib1y to all who were there listening, was the fact that through all the years the Belgians have bui1ded well. Not only cathe- drals and churches, town halls, banks, society or guild houses, but bridges, was builded to endure. Will the United States, in the years to come, have any such art to show?
 It was most entertaining and i1r- structive discourse, and to Colonel Havard are the thanks due, of the members of the Alliance, and the guests who were present.

Might Have Averted War

London, Feb. s-EarI Grey, at a meeting today to advocate an agree naent among nations for enforcement of international law, said the present conflict would probably never have taken place had the policy of Amer ican pacificists that the s1gnatory na- tions to The Hague conventions should undertake collective responsi- biIity for their enforcement been adopted.
 1t is almost certain '' said Earl Grey, that this logical and necessary complement of The Hague Tribunal will be adopted when the nations again meet in consultation
 The neutral Powers who signed The Hague conventions missed a great opportunity by not protesting against the violations of the inter national regulations that occurred in this war, which undoubtedly would have led to a diminut1on Of it's 1lor- rors.,s
