STARVING NATION
MAY HAVE TO YIELD
LContinued frnm Eirst pucn

Continued from First PaEe)
kingdom of Poland. has been divided
into three parts, belonging respectively
to France, Holland and Belgium. When
Belgium was separated from holland
in 1880 the Flemish movement was
started to counteract the spreading OF
the French language. and after many
years struggle the FlcminEs succeeded
in having the Flemish language rccog
nized on equal terms with French,
which is spoken in the southern part of
the kingdom. The Flemish constitute
half of the population Of Belgium or
about 100000 people, and there is little
doubt that many of them would rather
become Germans. If granted a position
within the German empire similar TO
that of Bavaria. than return to their
old position as the subjects of King
Albert.
II is foreEone conclusion that Ger
man statesmen will make the most of
the Flemish movement when the time
for peace negotiations arrive ana cham
pion Flemish independence. which. if
established. will give people closely
related 10 the Germans the possession
OF the coveted harbor Of Antwerp. in
the hope of later on inducing Flanders
10 take place itself under the powerful
protection of the German empire
