A Famous Interview Between Belgium
and German Statesmen

The New York World prints for the
first. time the following interview be-
tween leading statesmen Of Belgium
and Germany, which gives the Belgian
view of the famous case Of her neu.
trahty:
At an early hour that Monday morn
ing august 81 the Minister Of Bel.
gium had asked by telephone to be re-
ceived by the Secretary Of State; the
audience was Immediately granted.
The Minister of Belgium had hardly
uttered few words when Mr.. de. ia,
gown interposed:
Believe me, it is with heavy heart
that Germany has resolved to violate
the neutrality Of Belgium, and person
ally it causes me the keenest regrets.
But what can be done? 1t is ques-
ton Of life and death for the empire.
II the German armies do not wish to
be caught between the hammer and
the anvil they must strike great blow
against France in order to be able
afterward to turn upon the Russians. !"
But" said Baron Beyens (the Bel,
gian Minister) "the frontiers of
France are br)l1 cough for y"u to
avoid passing through Belgium"
"They are too strongly fortified.
Besides, what are we asking Of youi
Merely to allow US free passage, and
not to destroy your railways nor
your tunnels, and to allow US to oc-
eupy those forts ! \eedt y.
"There Is" the Belgian Minister
Immediately answered, "a very easy
way to put the only answer that this
demand can have. 1t is to imagine
that France had invited us to do the
same thing, and that we had agreed.
Would not Germany have said we had
betrayed her in a most cowardly man
ner%
The Secretary Of State having left
this pointed question unanswered,
Baron Beyens continued:
"At least" he asked, "have you
anything with which to reproach us?
Have we not always, for three-quar-
tiers of century, fulfilled toward
Germany as toward all the great
guaranteeing powers all the obliga-
tions of our neutrality? Have we
not given to Germany proofs Of our
loyal friendship? In what coin c1es
Germany propose to pay Us? By
making Of Belgium the battl,, of
Europe, and that knowing what d,,a$.
tation and what calamities modern
warefare must entail?"
Herr Won Jagow answered. ;.:-
II MY has I'D ltrroach mike against
la eium, AMI the attit le Of Beleilm
las alwavs cen perfect " correct"
"Well, then, admit" rejnined Baron
Beyens, that Belgium can give you
no other answer than the one she
gives, without forfeiting her hoh,T.
1t is with nations as with men, and
there is not for peoples a different
standard Of honor to that of indi-
viduals. You must at least admit
Baron Beyens insisted. "that the an
| swer is what it should be-"
81 recognize 1t as a privafe indi-
vidual, but as Secretary Of State l
have no opinion to eSrIeS:.'

little ship that crossed somewhere on
the very course that we are on. A
few miles further north perhaps we
shall think of the little boat, of about
three hundred tons, as against our six
teen thousand tons, the boat that
brought over this same Atlantic the
Pilgrim fathers and mothers OF Eng
land.
There were one hundred and two of
them when they landed among the
woods and wilderness of Massachu-
sets; there were only hfty-two who
celebrated the first Thanksgiving Day.
During the terrible winter frozen,
starving, their supplies exhausted, one
died every other day. The survivors
dug the graves of those who died,
but they did not dare to raise a mound
owe those graves, lest the hostile In
dams looking from the hills above
could see the graves multiply and
know how small the garrison was and
should feel themselves strong enough
to attack.
The winter wore away; the summer
came; they reaped their first harvest;
twelve months had passed since they
landed and they held their first
Thanksgiving Day. We celebrate it as
they celebrated it. First in the MORN
ing a religious service then a midday
dinner then athletic sports. I have

prairie and teeming city, where free
men live and right across this Atlantic

are steaming, back to the old England

are honest remedies and do the work
they are designed to do. THE light
should not have been waged against
patent medicines so much as against

real vicious remedies have done so
much harm Men with keen selling

secured from Irresponsible physicians

There are honest and good patent

LOGICAL DYSPEPSIA
TREATMENT

During the past two or three years
much has been pupnshedt IN newspa-
pers throughout America about the
remarkable value of plain bisurated
magnesia as an antacid because its use
prom otes normal, healthy digestion by
preventing food fermentation and neu-
tralizing the dangerous stomach acid.
Until recently druggists could supply
bisurated magnesia in powder form
only from one to two easpoonfuls Of
which taken IN a little water after
meals, almost instantly stops all fer
mentation and neutralizes acid, but
sufferers from stomach trouble can
now obtain a five grain tablet, which
combines all the valuable antacid
properties OF the ordinary bisurated
magnesia in a very convenient form.
nesia can now be had of druggists
everywhere. The tablets are tho most
convenient for travellers and pllyRi-
