"Ten cents for Belgian baby. For
get-me-nots for Belgian babies"
This appeal rang in the ears of pedes-
trians in every part Of the city yester-
day, from the truck-crowded alleys at
the Battery to the pathways in Central
Park, where the tiny blue velvet flowers
for Belgium's babies blossomed side by
side with May Day forget-me -nots.
No one resisted the appeal. The gay
little bouquets, which cost only 1C
cents, were worn by street cleaners and
venerable cabmen. Girl Scouts invaded
the financial district, with their red
flags wig-wagging the appeal to the
MONDAY crowds: "Only 10 cents fol
Belgian babies"
The central booth was at City Hall
Park, in the Liberty Bell, which was
vacated on Saturday night by the Lib
erty Loan workers. Here Mrs. George

Last Great War" Fought
1O2 Years Ago; Seer Dead

London.-"The last great war has
been fought and the nations may nov
look forward TO uninterrupted peace"
This was the hope and belief pre-
claimed from many pulpits in England
log years ago, when Great Britain, by
royal proclamation, celebrated gem
efal Thanksgiving day following the
end of the Napoleonic wars. After the
smoke of Waterloo rolled back it re-
vealed continent given over to desc
iation.
Although England had suffered less
than the other nations involved in the
long struggle, she had by no means es :
capped unscathed. For 20 years Great
Britain had supplied the financial sIr-
ews of war for her allies in addition t.
active participation in battles on land
and sea.
