Editorial Opinion
BELGIUNrs DAY OF GLORY.

From the New York Tribune.
Belglum's martyrdom is almost over.
The Germans have evacuated Antwerp.
They have left Brussels. Soon they will
be clear OF Namur and Liege. They are
quitting, humiliated and broken In spirit
the heroic little country which they
have tyrannized over for four years and
a quarter.
Belgium was tried more harshly, per-
haps, than any other OF Germany's VIC
tins. But she has come through her
trial, as President Wilson has well said,
with "imperlshable glory" She was an
artificial nation, creation OF European
diplomacy. Her status was that Of a
pr0tege OF the various powers which
guaranteed her independence and terri
torlal integrity. She was bound over
20 neutrality. She enjoyed something
less than the full rights Of sovereignty.
But when the courage and spirit OF
her people were tested she vindlcated
nobly her right to exist as an equal In
the family Of free nations. Nothing
could have been finer than her proud
reply 10 Germany's insulting demand
for the use OF her territory as path
way into France. Nothing could have
been more inspiring than her choice be-
tween military humiliation and dis
honor.
For a time German military power
seemed 10 carry everything before 1t.
EVIL prospered. But even II Germany
had come nearer 10 a military decision
than she did in France in 1914 or In
Russia In 1915, she would still have
failed because OF the challenge to the
security OF the neutral nations which
her treatment OF Belgium emphasized.
The outrages inflicted on the Belgian
people left the German cause without a
dlsinterested friend or an unpurchased
apologlst anywhere outside the bounda-
ries OF the Quadruple Alliance.
Belgium has symbolized the cause for
which the Allies fought. In the day OF
triumph she asks nothing but just rep
aratlon. This she VIII get. She has the
first claim on German atonement. she
deserves more. She deserves full inde-
pendence And II Luxembourg wants TO
unite with her no obstacle ought to be
put in the way OF such a union. Perse-
cutlon has unified the Beigians. A he
roic people, under a heroic king, they
have won for themselves a proud place
in a new Europe dedicated 10 a recogni-
tlon OF the aspirations Of all races and
peoples which have the real stun OF
nationality in them

THE commission says that the pack

pound on beef amounts to s. a ton as
compared TO only % cents per ton profit
on coal. AS a matter of fact an aver
age quality ton Of beef is worth at
wholesale at present about 500, where
as ton Of anthracite coal at tidewater
is worth only about 81. Compare s5
profit on a sl00 sale with a 25 cent

Another attempt will be made TO free
