Belgium Now A Sovereign State

The first act of King Albert upon
reentering his defiled capital was to
summon the Belgian Parliament and
proclaim the entire independence OF
his country. Heretofore, it will be re-
called, Belgium enjoyed a neutrality
guaranteed by four great Powers
which was supposed to render her I'M
mune attack and invasion. How tu-
tile the supposition was, the world,
and now the Belgian people have de-
cided to stand upon their own feet,
free and unfettered by any foreign
suzeraiaty. Even the German admit
that this makes for the peace OF Eu-
rope. Some little while ago when the
Hun occupied Belgium and the Pan
German jingoes were pressing for its
annexation, Professor Delbrueck wrote
in the Neues Wiener Journal:
Belgium is not merely German
question. 1t is a problem which in
terests the whole universe. America
itself. we can not think of denying 1t,
has an essential interest in the indie
peadence of Belgium, for if Germany
exercises, even if only indirectly, a
supremacy over Belgium, then France
and England would find themselves IN
situation such that they could not
be regarded as great Powers and the
world not consent.
81 leave aside the question Of right
and of morality | consider that the
question of Belgium is in this respect
decisive, and that without the indie
pendence of Belgium there can be no
durable peace"
Switzerland has hailed the indie
pendence of Belgium and welcomes her
gladly to the family of sovereign
states, and the great Geneva paper,
La Suisse, remarks:
after August a, 1914, Belgium
ceased to be neutral, and altho the
Belgium Government has kept up the
legal fiction of it's permanent neutra-
lity, it was clear that it would be re-
nounced at the first favorable mo-
ment and that Belgium would declare
its wish to reestablish an unfettered
state under new laws.
"Like her neighbor Holland, as well
as Denmark, she wishes henceforth
to exercise voluntary. free from all
formality or promise, and to be able
to reaounce it at viii if it be to her
advantage to do so.
Consequently she rejects the per-
manent neutrality for which she did
not ask, which was forced upon her at
the beginning of her history by di-
plomas and prevented her from
having true foreign policy, and by
it's very character constituted more OF
guaranty for the Powers which
were suspicious of one another-than
for her.
"The result will be that at the Peace
Conference instead of having to ac-
cept a settlement propounded by the
other Powers-Belgium will play her
own part, the important role of an
equal and sovereign state. Literary

AMERICANIZATION AND
EDUCATION BILL
Editorial in the New York Evening
Post.

A prominent public man, interested
in the subject of education, remarked
recently that the education bill now
before congress, introduced originally
by Senator Smith of Georgia, last
October, lis too good 20 live" The
reason why this measure enjoys such
precarious health must be sought IN
the fact that it provides for the an
nual expenditure of $100,000,O0O for
a department of education The ap-
preparation is to be used in improv-
ing education throughout the coun-
try in cooperation with the states.
The sum of money seems large, al
though nothing when compared with
the sums we have been spending dur
ing the war, and, on occasions vast
ing. When we consider that New York
city alone devotes nearly S43,OOO,OOO
yearly to its school budget, we get our
ideas into proper focus on this nation

least partially driven to their present
convictions by the unexpected condi-
tons disclosed, during The war, Of
ignorance and illiteracy among our
foreign-born populations.
The sale has been aftener told since
the passion for Americanization be-
gan sweeping across the country. Said
Secretary Lane some time ago: There
are now nearly 100000 men of draft
age. registered, who cann0. read or
write in English or any other Ian
guage." There are more than 4,O0O,-
600 illiterates 81 years old and over
in the country. Of these 100000 at
least, are foreign born The National
Americanization committee, in Octo-
Der, 1917, published small but excel
lent digest of immigrant statistics
covering all the states. This pam
phlet showed lamentable condition
of affairs. Take New York city, for
instance. More than one-fifth of the
foreign-born population over 10 can
not speak English, and about one-sev-
enth consists of analphabets. YET the
attendance at night schools was but
a very small percentage of the whole;
the night school facilities were pro
badly not of character to appeal
to the average immigrant. In Penn
sylvania, Illinois, and New Jersey,
conditions taken all IN all, are still
worse. Even the farming states show
a larger proportionate illiteracy and
inability 20 speak English among their
immigrants than, as patriotic Amerl-
cans, we should care to face. And,
unfortunately, literacy for statlstl-
cal purposes, means merely knowing
how to read the minimum and how to
sign ones name. The pamphlet re-
ferred to does not distinguish between
degrees of literacy. A more rigid
survey. along stricter lines, would
doubtless uncover a much more seri-
Gus situation.
Largely, our educational backward
ness, az any rate in the matter of i'm
migrants literacy, can be ascribed to
the unfair burden put upon separate
communities by the tide of immlgra-
ton in which they have been swamp

Two features of Thursdays de-

runs so easily and several weeks

prove his assertions. The stunt at
