BELGIUM'S CONTRIBUTION

On a map OF, the world. Belgium appears as ! mere
speck. yet little Belgium has made the world its debtor
in a great many ways. OF her contributions in art and
science we have read much during these past I'VE years.
The thrift and industry Of her people have shown what
can be done within a restricted area and with what ap-
pear scant. opportunities by means Of determined EFFORT
When the war came the Belgtans were free to choose
between an easy and dishonorable peace and the defense
Of their liberties ct the risk of humiliation. The Bel
CLANS made their choice. simply and unostentatiousy,
but sravely and masnihcently., And with superb oour-
age and tortitude they fought, and suffered defeat, and
fought and fought again, until the world marveled that
SO much blood could be shed by such q little people.
Just now, when the Belgian king has Just set foot
on the soil of the United States it is both proper and
pleasant to recall that Belgium has also given to the
world q ruler who is In every one Of his many inches a
king. Owing his position as a matter Of course to the
accident of his aristocratic birth, Albert of- Belgtum has
won the affection OF his people and commanded the adj
niration Of the world by the broad democracy of his
spirit and the earnestness with which he has accepted
and sought to fulfill the obligations resting upon him as
the official head OF his state and the guardian and leader
Of his people.
OF Albert OF Belgium the American citizen can say,
without abatins one jot Of his Americanism Long live
the king!"

A MATTER OF Comfy
IA Saskatch

Saskatchewan correspondent writes as follows con-
sSSeernins an article which appeared In these columns a few
days ago giving the result Of q decision by q st. Paul
aSudge as to the liability arising from the ownership by a
q citizen Of the United States Of stock in a foreign corpor-
Ation:fes@s@9s
r "Your editorial Of September rs, in reference to for
&dgn stock liability was Of interest to the writer in 80 far
M#as It relates to a reflection on the laws or courts Of Man

I'm reference to corporations. With the exception OF Bank
Ind Trust company stock there is no double liability at

slpf North Dakota, but there is a double liability to all
Eorporation stock in Minnesota
fs u am Of the opinion that the St Paul party had
iktther subscribed for stock TN an ordinary corporation.
which he had never paid for, and Of course was liable, and
tshouId be for the full amount of his subscription. the same
eAs he would be If it were a North Dakota corporation;
else he subscribed for stock in a bank or trust COM

q ould be liable for another assessment for the full amount
EPf his stock to meet depositors' or creditors claims. Does
Ifhe same law not apply in your own state?
u I'm view Of the above. and in all fairness to the laws
apf Canada I feel that further light on the matter would
93conform with your desire to be fair in all matters i
The purpose OF The Herald in discussing this mat
ter was not to institute comparisons between the laws Of
aavarious states and countries as to- the liability Of tho
Atockholder in corporations OF various kinds. but TO call
Ehttentton to the fact, generally recognized. and now re-
Stated by the st. Paul Judge, that whatever the liability
33f the stockhoader may be under the laws Of the country
IN which the company is Incorporated. the fact that he
SIS a resident Of the United States and resident in his own
country does not relieve him Of any portion Of that la
Ebtity. In the case cited, a St Paul man owned stock in
% Canadian corporation. and in a legal action an assess
rsrnent was levied against his stock. He failed to pay,
Aand suit was brought against him in his homo district.
sJudsznent was given for the amount asked for tho reason
,statod, that the comfy of nations made the domestic
holder OF foreign stock liable for all claims which were
valid under the laws Of the county in which the cor
Ip0raion existed. -
There was intended no reflection on the laws Of
ucanada or the manner Of their enforcement. nor any COM
iParison with other laws. The point Is. simply, that what
iever obligation attaches to the ownership OF foreign stock
under the laws Of the country In which it is issued, that
IPbisation followsStthe Auericsh owner to his home town
Uknd attaches to any property which he may own there.

Policing Unassigned Territory

There seems to have been no occasion for the out

lat Trau, on the Dalmatian coast the other day. There
Twas some Mortified comment on the fact that the force

Eout the knowledge OF anyone In Warrington that any land
Fns was contemplated. One report. which was later
kshown to be without foundation. was that the marines
had been landed in pursuance OF orders from the Brit
Htsh admiralty. There was somewhat 1nilder excitement
lover the fact-and it Is a fact-that the landing was in

Indignant because, as he conceived It. American troops
were being ordered all over Europe by some council or
