1t is unnecessary for the Gazette to

Cur readers know how the little king

cnly o.fense Of the BelgianS was that
rhcy were patriotic and protested
against the Kaiser using their coun-
try as passageway. especially alter
Ills country had pledged itself by
treaty to uphold Belgium'> neutrality.
When the Kaiser let it he known that
ne would pass through the little king
dom nolens voens, the Bel@ians rush
e.! to. arms to defend their land. This
was regarded by tie Teut"ns as a
sin unto death. and Belgium was soon
bleeding, and is still bleeding.
The late Rev. Peter kroes, who for
many years was pastor of st. Mary's
Church. in this city WAS a Belgian.
He witnessed the retreat Of the
French from Waterloo. He passed
