duty and all our interests tended to
maintain the same attitude toward the
powerful neighbors on our two frontiers
Suppose France had been the one to
ask the right to cross Belgium and TO
attack Germany. We would have been
bound to refuse it. And had such de-
mand ever been made, and ever been
granted, what would Germany have said

of treaty. and as false and dishonor-
able. Doubtless the world would have
agreed with this view, had Belgium tax

but, happily, this contingency did not
arise. France never sought to enter Bel
GUM. Yet here again Germany has
sought to set up legend that French
designs on Belgium led to the German
invasion of the country. But that leg
end has been abundantly disproven. No,
Germany's course in entering Belgium
was purely a strategic military opera
ton, carefully planned long in advance,
and without the slightest justification
of being defensive move against French
designs. Against that, our king and gov
eminent took the only path open to
them-the path of honor. There was
nothing remaining but to defend our
freedom, sword in hand, at the price OF
the nations 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 win have her eompensa
ton when her complete independence and
freedom are established as part of the
peace settlement and an adequate indem-
nitv has been provided for her and the
time of reckoning is fast approaching.
Rumania is the latest to speak and to
cast the weight OF her influence and pow
er in the balance on the side of the allies.
Belgium has shaped her course. and
with the powerful support of her allies q
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 the sun,
and to complete freedom and independ-
ence."

stood between our people and the rigors

and such lenience as we have received
has come largely through his energetic
and discreet intervention.

WHY WOMEN
WRITE LETTERS
To lydia E. Pinkham Medi-
cine Co.

Women who are we'll often ask care
the letters which the Lydia +. Pinkham
Medicine Co. are continually publishing,
genuine?" "Are they truthful "
why do women write such letters "
In answer we say that never have we
published fictitious letter or name.
Never, knowingly, have we published
an untruthful letter, or one without the
full and written consent Of the woman
who wrote II.
The reason that thousands OF women
from all parts Of the country write such
grateful letters to the Lydia 4. Pink
ham Medicine Co. is that Lydia Z. Pink
ham Vegetable Compound has brought
health and happiness into their lives,
once burdened with pain and suffering.
II has relieved women from some OF
the worst forms of female ills, from dis
plscements, inflammation, liberation,
irregularities, nervousness, weakness,
stomach troubles and from the blues.

"Criticisnl.'

Any remarks on Criticism by P
P. Howe, are likely to be carefully
chosen, in view of the subject of the
book. 1t is safer to avoid criticism
altogether and give only comment, a
method which Mr.. Howe, by the way
says rules today.
The author is an Englishman of no
small repute. who attempts to make
clearer the field of reviewing. Issue
is taken with the popular conception
of criticism, that it's aim is to find
fault, and with the frequent remark
that only the creator can judge. For,
says Mr.. Howe concerning this latter
point, the creator cannot become the
ideal spectator the critic is, for one
reason, because total self-surrender
is impossible.
Further comment is likely to result
in too involved a discussion and has
this advantage: Mr.. Howe is ready
with his rebuttal, if such is necessary.

"The Meaning Of Education"

In "The Meaning of Education" Mich
olas Murray Butler. president of Co
lumbia University, offers the convic-
tions and opinions there expressed
as the result of years of reflection, en-
perience and observation.
The education is a science and
should be treated in such a manner
and that it is highly important for the
study of education that a consistent
nomenclature be adopted Doctor
Murray is sure.
Education" he says, in a very
real sense may be described as the
process by which the present uses
the lessons and experiences of the
past to aid in meeting the paeds and
solving the problems of the immediate
future"
A child, he thinks, comes into the
