Belgians Score Hollands
Part in War Crimes

London, Dec. 11.-Belgian claims
that the peace conference VIII be
directed. not only against Germany,
but against Holland, according to the
Etropole of Antwerp. which quotes
the Belgian minister of foreign az
fairs as follows:
"Obviously. our first demand from
Germany will be the restitution OF
all OF which we were robbed in hum
dreds of ways. AS far as territorial
Establishments are concerned, II you
carefully read between the lines of
the passages of the recent speech
from the throne which refers to the
old treaties they will tell you as much
as l cam" .,
The passages in question deal espe-
cially with the international treaty
of 1889 which fixes the status OF Bel
gium. This treaty deprived the young
kingdom of Belgium of the principal
portions of her provinces of Leswig
and Luxembourg and enriched the Ger
man confederation by the Belgian
towns of the provinces of I.iege such
as st. With, Eupon, Malmady and
Montjoie.
1t likewise made the kingdom OF
The Netherlands master of the lower
Scheldt The consequences were that
since the beginning of the war Ant
" erp has been bottled up and de-
prived of all possible assistance by
sea against the invaders. In declar-
ing the treaty which wronged Bel
gium in this way and reduced her
in size, from 1889 to 1918 now is a
dead letter. the king gave an idea
of what the Belgium claims would be.

Cries always Forward"
On May 10, 1915, the Italian parIa-
ment declared war and the next day
D'Annunzio issued an imprisoned
statement declaring that "This day the
people of Italy have once more become
healthy; they have recovered their
strength and their liberty. Be they
few or be they many, one against one,
one against four or one against ten
forward. Always forward to the
charge. Victory is only to those who
believe in victory, who swear by vic
tory"
D'Annunzio was among the first to
manifest an intense interest In avia-
ton. When the Wright brothers were
In Europe he passed great deal OF
time with them, and 1t was through his
influence largely that the italian gov
eminent consented to consider serious

as fantastic dream. The airplane at

Without the history of this mans re-

of contrasting versatility now living.

ed people, is now acknowledged Its
greatest living warrior of the air.
Flfty-three years seems an appropri-
ate age at which to attain distinction
In literature or art, but the greatest
flyers of other nations are men In their
twenties. Mature age is supposed to
have unsteadied the nerves and so
cooled the enthusiasm as to unfit a
man, In large measure, for brilliant
work above the clouds. D'Annunzio
has disproved this theory.
In addition to his triumphs as an
author and aviator, D'Annunzio has
shown marked ability as politician.
The career of this remarkable man
began In his fifteenth year. While he
was studying at Prado he published
volume of poems In which he display
ed such marked ability that he attract
ed the attention of literary critics
throughout Europe.
II is upon the "spicyness" of his
themes that D'Annunzlo's enemies base
their most severe criticisms, but the
esteem in which he is held by the Ital-
ian public was shown wildly in the I'M
certain days of tS915. At this time
Giolitti, the Italian ex-premier, was the
leader Of the pro-German element In
Italy.
AT critical time Giolltti visited
Rome and attempted a coup which
would have committed the nation to
active participation in the war on be-
half Of the nations with which she is
now locked In life and death strug-
gle. D'Annunzio's voice, which was
the real voice of Italy, was raised
against such move and so stirred

Four Divisions
To Mark Outdoor
Championships
By A. C. Cavagnaro

The annual outdoor junior and senior
track and field championship games of
the Metropolitan Association will be
decided in four separate divisions, ac-
cording to an agreement reached by
the respective committees in q joint
meeting held last night. 1t was by
unanimous consent that the dual body
set this precedent in regard TO cham
pionskips, in order that other races
may be held on each occasion
The individual meetings viii each be
made up OF four track and three field
championship events. IN addition to
these contests it was voted to enlarge
the programme with novice aand han
dicap races and an event for men of
the army and navy.
Jacob W Stumpf, the veteran official,
was the originator Of this procedure,
and the members Of each group i'm
mediately found favor with it. Stumpf
advised this step on the grounds that
many athletes were in the colors and
that the adding Of the several other
races would tend to arouse interest
among those athletes who have not as
yet qualified as title contenders.
The tentative dates for the four
meetings call for the first half Of the
junior games to be held on June 20
July 49, Competition among the seniors
will start on August 81. and the last
half Of the meet Will be held Septem-
ber Ia. 1t was announced that in every
championship event the regulation
prizes would be awarded. This is ex-
pected to bring out a reasonably large
