New-York tribune., 1918-07-21

This is the day Of Belgian inde-
pendence. when. before the war, the
stricken little country held proud cele-
brations of the anniversary of the re-
birth of its freedom; and it will be
commemorated in New York City to-
dnv rs a tribute to Americas small
ally. who has suffered so greatly from
the war
1t was eighty-eight years ago that
this day became fraught with meaning
for Belgium. Famed into an uprising
by the spirit of revolt then ablaze in
Paris, the people of the southern half
Of the kingdom of the United Neither
lands revolted from the dual rule,
founded Belgium and began the period
of disturbance which eliminated two
years later in the signing Of the ia
nous "scrap of paper treaty in which
England, France and Prussia guaran-
teed to Belgium forever the indepen-
dence for which she had fought.
Mass Meeting Tonight
At big mass meeting tonight in
City College Stadium the admiration
of this country for the spirit of indi-
Belgium will be expressed by citi-
zens of the United States. Members
of the Belgian colony will voice the
sentiments of their country in song
and speech. There will be no Belgian
military representatives, except Major
Leon Osterreith. chief of the Belgian
military mission to the United States,
who will speak in place Of Baron de
Cartier, Belgian Minister to this coun-
try.
Under the direction Of a committee
headed by Pierre Mali, Belgian Consul
General, programme will be given by
Belgian artists, including Auguste
Bouilliez and Octave Qua, of the Brus-
sells Grand Opera; Carlo Liten, Bel
gan actor; Alfred Megerlin, violinist
of the Philharmonic Society, and Alice
Verlet, prima donna of the Grand
Opera, Paris.
Nationwide Celebration
The celebration of Belgium's day will
be carried on in like manner through
out the entire country. Wherever
there exists q Belgian colony, it will
be the nucleus for the days demon
stration. In this city there will be a
display of Belgian flags on all public
buildings and addresses in the churches
in honor of the event.
This is the committee in charge of
the mass meeting, to be held at $3.50

WASHINGTON, July 20-The Bel
gian legation issued the following
statement to-day:
Sunday, July q, is ,,elgian indie
pcndencc Day, and this will be the
e,ghtyseventh anniversary. 1t will be
celebrated in many cities in the United
States and III the Allied countries by
appropriate ceremonies. The Repub-
lie of Cuba decided, by q vote Of its
Congress, not only to celebrate the
day but also to adopt the 21st Of July
as it's own national fete day in recog-
n.tion of what Belgium has done for
humanity.
"The Belgian army will celebrate the
day in the trenches by killing as many
Boches as possible. The Belgian ci-
william population, under the heel of
the oppressor, are forbidden by the
Germans to celebrate outwardly, but
they will do it in their hearts. The
last time they celebrated openly the
city of Brussels was fined $4,000, 900.

von Hertlng. the German Imperial
~ Chancellor. regarding Belgium.
- MIR. Balfour called attention to the
Chancellor's announcement that he was
: prepared to treat Belgium as a pawn
>. That meant declared the Foreign Sec
retary. that the Chancellor was pre-
pared to give up Belgium if he were
allowed to retain some other territory
in Europe.

r. The pawn in this case meant that,
having attacked Belgium without prov
i ocation and having conquered that
SSseountry, Won Herthng now wished to
barter her as if she were so many
chattels or pawns IN the game of battle.
The greatest insult leYelled against
Belgium in the Chancellor's last speech
was when he announced that Germany
aid not intend to hold Belgium forever.
<>The crimes which Germany had com
rnitted against Belgium could never be
blotted out or forgotten, Mr.. Balfour
declared. If Germany were to repent
tomorrow the crimes she mad commit
ted against Belgium could never be
wiped out. There were such things as
human conscience and human memory,
and when this war was, over and. Bel
GUM took her place among the free
and independent nations of the world
It would be vain for the Germans to
apologize for what they had done. The
deeds of Germany in Belgium had been
burned into. the conscience of mankind
and nothing would ever eface them.
Urges League of Nations
3 Mr.. Balfour continued:
"The Germans tell US. and I hope in
this respect they tell US truly, that the
war is not going to be long war, that
peace negotiations are already visible
on the horizon. ! do not associate my
self with these prophecies one way or
another. All | say is this: When the
time comes that Europe has to consider
around the council table how to pro-
tect itself against a repetition of the

horrors and denominations for which
Germany has been responsible, it will
be impossible for European statesmen
binding contract. and that the peace
of the world rests upon frail founda-
tions indeed if it rests upon nothing
more solid than the solemn compact"
Reverting to the violation of Bel
GUM. Mr.. Balfour said it was a crime
which behove mankind to see, by a
league of nations or some other ma
chinery, should never occur in the
future

STORK A STACKER.
Birth Rate in Kansas During
1D17 Shows Big Slump.
3,241 Less Babies Born Than in
Preceding Year.
DEATH RATE ON INCREASE
Spring Epidemic of Grip Is
Given as Cause.
Ninety-Five Per Cent of All
Births Reported.

That the Kansas stork was a
Stacker" during 1917 was revealed to-
day when.J V. Deacon. state registrar
of vital statistics, made public re-
port which showed that 3,241 less ba-
bies were born in Kansas during 1917
than during the preceding year. The
birth rate decreased from "a per cent
in 1916 to 21.S per cent in 1917.
The report shows an increase in the
death rate of the state. 1t was III
per cent in 1916 and IL per cent IN
1917. Physicians point to the epidemic
of grippe early in 1917 as one reason
for the increased mortality rate.
Births Properly Recorded.
When birth registration appeared TO
fall off during the first six months OF
the year the doctors believed that
much of it was due to non-filing OF
birth certificates. Washington autn-
critics sent out agents to check up on
twelve counties and these reports
proved that IS per cent of births that
occurred were properly recorded
The mortality report lost and the
birth rate has gained during the last
half of the year but not enough to bal
ance the bad start made at first. The
report for the past five years is as foI-
lows: 49, .
