SERBIA AND BELGIUM.

The Hartford Courant thus con-
trusts the plight of Serbia with that
of Belgium:
Sad as the case of Serbia is, she is
not to be put in the same class as Bel
gum. In way, Serbia was the cause
cf the war, since Austria placed upon
her the blame for the assassination OF
the heir to the Austrian throne, and
declared it beneath her dignity to ar
bitrate the question with so insigniti-
cant a nation. 1t is true there was no
proof of Serbia's guilt, and it is true
that Serbia made what looks from this
distance like a sincere effort to avoid
war, but nevertheless she has been III
i: from the beginning. With Belgium
it is altogether different. No one has
accused her of being in the slightest
degree implicated in the causes of the
way. She merely had the misfortune
TO lie in the road which Germany had
decided to take to France. She was
accordingly trampled ruthlessly and
unpardonably under Germany's iron
heel"
Serbia has not won the sympathy
that has been accorded to Belgium,
but she has doubtless suffered more.
Unquestionably a larger proportion Of
Serbians than of Belgians have been
killed because every Serbian capable
of bearing arms has been in the fight.
IL, addition to the war Serbia has suf-
fcred from a scourge and many thous-
ards have died of disease-thousands
of non-combatants.
The barbarities of the Germans in
Belgium seem to have ended with the
passage of the Germany army through
that country. At any rate we do not
hear much of them now and have not
Heard much of them since the Ger
mans have been occupying that coun-
try instead of fighting to break
through it. This may be to some ex-
tent due to the fact that in war con-
Quoted with great barbarity in every
field, and by every nation, acts of
atrocity do not attract the attention
now that they did in the beginning.
but it is probable that the Germans
are pursuing a different policy toward
the Belgians.
Serbia is somewhat to blame for this
war. We do not mean to say that she
was responsible for the murder of the
Austrian archduke, but the Serbs had
for years been planning to secure ter
ritory in the possession of Austria.
Austria had no moral right to it, but
the same was true of Serbia. The agi-
tation in Serbia for the conquest of
this territory kept up constant state
of irritation and furnished an excuse
for the war, if not cause for it.
But however the war may end Ser
bia will suffer from losses that APP
proach nearer to complete annihila-
ton than any nation has sustained in
modern times. If the entente allies
should finally prove victorious there
will be no possibility of adequate
compensation to Serbia for her losses
