peace with Germany. Belgium had no
hostility to Germany. We had many
Germans among us. as you have in
America. and many of our people spoke
the German language. A spirit of
good feeling and of confidence pre-
have reason to know this as l was
minister at Berlin UP to the opening
OF the war. and had opportunity to
observe the mutual relations existing.
Denies Secret Treaty.
Germany has sought to spread the
legend that Belgium had q secret
treaty with Ene'nnd relating to Ant
werp. But that is false. There Is no
such treaty. and never was such a
treaty. Certainly If such a document
existed l would know of 1t. and / af-
firm to you, on my honor. that it does
not exist No, the legend Of the Sc
cret treaty is a pure invention set up
to justify, in the eyes of the world. the
crime against Belgium.
In refusing the demand Of Germany
to cross Belgium. we were simply per-
forming a duty. We We're bound to
act toward u German neighbor to
the east just as we would have done
toward our French n%eighbor to the
west. for our duty and all our interests
tended to maintain the same attitude
toward the powerful neighbors on our
two frontiers. Suppose France had
been the II to ask the right to cross
Belgium and to attack Germany. We
would have been bound to refuse it.
And had such a demand ever been
made. and ever been granted. what
would Germany have said? 1t would
have denounced us as violators Of a
treaty, and as false Inc di]shonorable.
Doubtless the world would have agreed
with this view, had Belgium taken
such a course.
But, happily, this contingency did
not arise. France never sought to en-
ter Belgium. Yet here again Germany
has sought to set up a legend that
French designs on Belgium led to the
German invasion of the country. But
that legend has been ~abundantly dis
proven. No. Germany's course in en-
tering Belgium was purely a strategic
military operation. carefully planned
long in advance, and without the
slightest justification Of being a de-
fensive move against French designs.
Against that our king and government
took the only path open to them-the
path Of honor. There was nothing re-
naming but to defend our freedom,
sword in hand. at the price Of the ma
TONS best blood-a freedom that the
Germans. after defeating France. would
have withheld from US all the more
scornfully had we been weak enough
to listen to them and cowardly enough
to obey them.
But Belgium will hava her ompen
sations when her complete %independ-
ence and freedom are established as
part of the peace settlement and an
adequate indemnity has been provided
for her and the time of reckoning is
fast approaching. Run1ania is the
attest to speak and to cast the weigh
OF her influence and power in the bal
ance on the side Of the allies. Belgium
has shaped her course. and with the
powerful support Of her allies-England,
france, Russia, Italy. Japan. Portugal,
Serbia and now Rumania-she will
sustain her part of the burden of war
to the very end. Belgium will come
back to her own. in her place in tho
sur. and to complete freedom and in.

Want Hens in English Parks,

In the hope Of saving a large part OF
the 100000 spent every year for
foreign eggs, an agitation is on foot
to throw open London parks for poul-
try breeding. The scheme is receiving
serious consideration from the authors
ties because it is one Of the latest war;
time economies suggested on a large
scale. The promoters of the idea have
asked for part of mi park to start
with. The plan provides for a site
OF about three acres and accommodate
ton for 600 hens. The leading poul-
try breeders Of the country will be i'm
vited to send six selected fowls of the
same breed and strain. Scientific feed
ing tests are to be made. All the g g
viii go to the wounded soldiers, and
prizes will be awarded to the owners
of the hens laying the most eggs.

Metal Tent Supports.

Those fond of camping out will be
glad to hear of a new continuance con
sisting of q combined tent frame and
cot, which dispenses with cumbersome
poles and simplities the question of
how TO move ones sleeping accommo-
dation from place to place. The new
tent supports are of light angle iron,
and the longer pieces as well as those
forming the cots which go with each
tent are jointed so thai they may be
folded up when necessary. The frames
of the cots are suspended from the up
rights by two coil springs, used for
the same purpose as springs in the or
binary house-bed. During the day tho
cots Il be folded up against the tent
frame and well out Of the road, by
releasing II Of the springs at each
end.

May Develop Irish Coal Mines.

Tho idea that Ireland will never
become a mining country of any ac-
count is not the view of the Newry
Urbak council, which at their last meet
ing considered the proposals made by
the Irish Association of Gas Managers
at DulAin, in view of the present con
dition CT the Irish coal supply. If not
relieved, the gas managers said, the
smaller gas works must be shut down
and the government should be urged
to provide an adequate supply of coal
at reasonable rates. The Newry coun-
Gil approved this opinion and passed a
special resolution to be presented to
the Br:tish executive stating that the
time was oppOrtune for the develop
ment &C the large and valuable coal
measures which undoubtedly exist in
Irelanu.

WORSE THAN THE SLIPPER.
Punishment Melted Out / Indian
Boys Certainly Of the Most Siren
ous Nature.

My grandmother had u children.
and II uncle undertook to teach me-
the art of worship. He used to lead
me to the sand banks of the Missouri
river, where he would set fire to d pile
of driftwood, and then, taking me by
the hand, sing sacred songs to the fire
II river. In the meantime he threw
into them offerings OF tobacco, red
feathers, and sometimes oak twigs. I
never knew the meaning of these offer
ings, but I always felt that some living
thing actuated both the fire and the
river. Another uncle came to visit us
periodically, and every time he came
my brother or / suffered at his hands.
Sometimes he would rush to the spring,
carrying me horizontally under his
arm. and would plunge my head into
the water until / almost suffocated.
His ommon form of discipline was to
let me hang by my hands on the cross
poles of the wigwam until my arms
ached. My body writhed before I
dropped. This uncle seemed to like
best to command my older brother to
tie my hands and feet with a rope.
Then he would order me to resist-an
ordeal that would make us both cry.
In the winter he would also sometimes
roll us in snow naked. The punish
ment of Indian children is usually in
the hands of some uncle rather than
the parents. Our punishments were
inflicted generally because we had dis
obeyed grandmother by failing to get
wood at evening, had resisted fasting,
had fought some Indian boys, or had
cried without sufficient cause.-South-
ern Workman.

MUSIC IN THE THEATER.
From Musical America,

Eugene Halle, whose songs have
oeen widely sung in concert in this
country has completed an elaborate
orchestral score to accompany the fan
tastlc comedy, THE Happy Ending"
winch opened in New York at the Shu-
pert theater on Monday. August 21,
under the direction Of Arthur Hopkins.
Ihls production continues one Of the
most interesting tendencies of the pres
ent day American theater-that of Civ
Ing increased importance to music in
poetic and spectacular plays. In the
present case Mr.. Halle has worked UNI
hampered in his attempt to make the
music an intimate part of the action of
the MacPhersons' play.
This tendency in the American
theater is especially interesting be-
cause of the huge audience it gives to
the American composer. a few thou
sand interested musicians have heard
edgar Stillman Kelley's admirable
symphonies. Millions, 600, 900 is a
conservative estimate-have heard his
music for Ben Hur." A play which
runs a whole season on Broadway is
seen by from 800. 900 to SOC, 900 per-
sons. If it is sent on the Dad the
number soon reaches 1,OO0, 900. This
is an audience such as the
can never hope to reach in strictly
musical Misunderstanding only that
rare who can write a "Ros-
ary." The fact that the is
being received in the American theater
OH an equal basis with the playwright
and scene designer is one of the great
est significance to American music.
The field is not limited. Into he
music for a poetic play a composer can
put his best work. The superb score
which Arthur Farwell wrote for
Joseph and His Brethren" Is one Of
the most ambitious things he has done.
There are difficulties. Of course. The
ordinary theater orchestra may not be
adequate to the task. In the past,
theater managers have sometimes been
inclined to slight the music-to cut
down The orchestra by half at the last
moment. without any thought Of the
months of careful scoring on the part
Of the composer. Not infrequently the
commissions music" without
thought or care for quality or fitness.
Bat because men like Mr.. Farwell and
MI. Kelley hav taken their work seri-
ously, music in the theater has gained
something like it's rightful dignity.
Nowadays If the composer insists that
he needs an extra horn he is likely
to get 1t. The public has accepted
good music as a part OF a poetic play
n likes it. The way is open for the
established American to en-
large his audience a hundred times
