all in revolt. The Gear, alarmed at
what he considered the spread of
revolutionary spirit, called upon the
other powers to interfere and prom
Used a contingent Of 10000 troops.
Prussia massed her troops on her west
ern frontier and France announced
that any movement Of Prussian troops
into Belgium would be met by SIM
liar movement on the part OF the
French. A conference of the five great
powers was then sitting in London to
settle the question of Greece. France
proposed that the Belgian question be
submitted to the conference. The
Polish instruction, which now broke
out, gave the Gar all he could attend
to at home, Austria was harassed by
the Italian question and Prussia was
fully occupied in guarding her eastern
frontiers. So England and France
were allowed to have their way, which
was the way Of Belgian independence.
Failed to Settle Trouble.
The congress Of London issued sew
eral protocols intended to settle mat
tiers but failed to do so. One stum-
bling block was Luxembourg, which Hol-
land refused to give up and Belgium
claimed; deputies from that duchy sit
ting in the new national assembly.
Prince Leopold Of Coburg was offered
the Belgian crown but refused to ac-
cept 1t until matters were settled more
to the liking of the Belgians. The
Dutch refused to cvacuate Belgium
and a French army marched In, the
Dutch retiring before it.
On November 10, 1881, the represen-
tatives of the great powers and Bel
GUM signed the treaty Of London. By
this instrument a part Of Luxembourg
was given to Holland and the rest left
in the Belgian hands professionally"
Belgium, 1t may be remarked, con-
tinued to hold the duchy until 1889.
The province of Limburg was given to
Holland and the boundaries Of Belgium
established practically as they are to-
day. The king Of the Belgians was
recognized and the neutrality of the
kingdom solemnly guaranteed.
The Gear would not ratify this
treaty, although his ENJOYS had signed
it, until the next May, when he did so.
But now King William of Holland
baked. He refused to evacuate Ant
werp, which was besieged and taken
by the French thereupon. 1t was not
until 1889 that King William decided
to accept fate. Having done so he
abdicated and the Belgian question
was settled to reappear In q more
tragic form SO years later.

Business is not getting the better of

tually profitable, it lis mutually de-
structive. My neighbours prosperity

The treaty by which the present
Kingdom of Belgium was created and
its neutrality guaranteed was signed
at London on November Is, 1881, by
the representatives of Austria, Prus-
STA, France, England and Russia. It
was, In fact, not merely one "scrap OF
paper" which the Germans tore up
when they invaded Belgium in 1914,
but two-for this neutrality guaran-
teed by the treaty Of 1881 was re-
affirmed by Germany at the beginning
of the Franco-Prussian war OF 1870 at
the demand Of England. The congress
Of Vienna, after Napoleonic wars, had
constituted Belgium and Holland one
country under the House of Orange.
But the Belgians were never content to
be under the crown of Holland and
when the French revolution of 1880
which placed Louis PHILIPPE on the
throne took place the Belgians were
inspired to a successful revolt which
was directly impelled by the events
OF July in Paris. The laws of Holland
were generally unfavorable to the Bel
CLANS; the Belgians were not proper
tiopately represented In the legislature
and there was, besides, the difference
In language and religion Of the two
sections. Although the Belgians spoke
French, Dutch was made for them the
official language of the courts and only
Dutch was taught in the schools. Long
tn VIC q i
tation had been going on for separate
administration for the Belgians.
Began to Shout for France.
On August s, 1880, while the people
of Holland were supposed to be cele-
brating the kings birthday, a revolu-
tionary piece was performed In the
opera house in Brussels. Stirred by
the dramatic representation the audi
ence began to shout for France and
against Holland. The cries were heard
In the streets and repeated and riot
ensued. Then some one hoisted over
the city hall the old standard of
Brabant and the riot turned into a
revolution. In a few hours Brussels
was in the hands of the revolution
aries. The revolution spread to the
country like wildfire. The revolution
lists made a proposal to the king that
he should submit to the states-general
a proposition for separate governments
for Belgium and Holland under the
House of Orange. The king promised
and fulfilled his promise.
A provisional government was estab-
ushed in Brussels which declared Bel
gian independence and called upon all
Belgians serving In the Dutch army to
return home. The provinces were now

Turks before them with heavy losses,
while one part Of their army was sent
to join the Greeks at Saloniki and an
other detachment to help the Montene-
grins. The Greeks, coming up from
the south, routed the Turks In several
engagements and finally captured Salo-
Mkt. Turkey asked the powers to me-
diate and be quick about it. They did
so and an armistice was signed be-
tween Bulgaria, Serbia and Montene-
gro on one side and Turkey on the
other on December 8.
Powers Could Not Agree.
The powers were frantic and could
not agree among themselves. But on
April 10, 1913, another armistice was
signed, and on May 80 the belligerents
signed at London treaty Of peace
with Turkey. By this treaty Turkey
surrendered to the Balkan allies the
island of Crete and all territory on
the European mainland west Of the
Enos- Midia line, and left the adjust
ment of the Albanian frontiers and the
disposal of the Aegean islands to the
powers, which meant that Turkey gave
up all her European possessions ex-
cept Constantinople and the country
Immediately back of 1t.
But the ink on the treaty was not
dry when the Balkan states began
to quarrel with each other over the
spoils.
Thirty days after the treaty Of Lon
don had been signed they were all at
1t again, with Roumania now playing
a part. The Bulgarians attacked the
Greeks In the Panghaion district and
fought a three days battle with the
Serbians, ending on July 80.
Bulgaria Declares War.
Three days later Bulgaria declared
war against Greece and Serbia, and
Montenegro declared war upon Bulga-
ria. Roumania declared war against
Bulgaria on July 10, and Turkey at
the same time sent an army forth and
captured Adrianople without trouble.
The Bulgarians stubbornly resisted
the advance Of the Greek army north.
but King Constantine pressed on
toward Sofia. The Montenegrins and
Serbs hurled back the Bulgarians In
the west, and King Ferdinand sued
for peace.
And now a new arrangement OF the
belligerent Balkans Is In progress.

Good Advice,

If you're good citizen you will be
more concerned about your contribu-
ton to the world than you will be
about what the world thinks about it.
It's the fellow who can forget what
the world may think, in the desire to
give the world the best, who really de-
serves praise. Forget the unkind
words and dismiss the sighting acts
of people about you. Censor all that
you hear for the good that's in it and
profit by the result. You will be far
more comfortable and the world will
hear from you.

The boundaries which those chronic
disturbers Of the peace, the Balkan
states, had before the recent world
war were established to them by the
treaty of Bucharest signed at the
Roumanian capital on August 8, 1913,
by representatives of the said states
and Greece. That treaty closed two
wars, practically, one in which the Bal
kan states were united In fighting Tur-
key and one In which they were fight
ing among themselves. BY 1910 the
Bulgar and Greek bands In Macedonia,
which had been quite as likely to mas
sacre each other as to massacre the
Turks, had got together for the pur-
pose Of devoting all their efforts
against the common enemy. Then
trouble broke out In Albania and the
SerbIans sent their 'irregulars to help
the Albanians against the Turks.
1t was the same old story of the Bal
kans being "aflame" again. In March
Of 1912 Greece, Bulgaria, Montenegro
and Serbia came to an understanding,
agreeing to bury their mutual animosi-
ties temporarily and combine against
the Turk. Roumania stood aloof. The
Porte, alarmed, promised reforms in Al
bania and Macedonia. Turkey also an
nounced that she would hold army ma
neuvers near Adrianople.
Began to "DIpIematlxe."
The great powers began to "diplo-
matize," to prevent a war. Germany
and Austria declared that the status
quo in the Balkans must be main
tanned, and Austria modified her
army. But the wild nations Of the
Balkans had got out Of hand, and
little Montenegro, on October s, 1912,
declared war against Turkey. On Oc-
tober IL Bulgaria. Greece and Serbia
issued joint declaration to the same
effect. A Bulgarian army OF 100000
men occupied Mustapha Pasha on Oc-
tober 10, Kirk-Kilisseh on the oath and
invested Adrianople on the 9th. Two
days later wes fought the sanguinary
battle of Lule Burgas, the chief battle
Of the war, with front of % miles.
In this battle the Turks lost $4,000
killed and wounded and 5000 prison
ers, while the Bulgarians lost 1900
killed and wounded. The Turks now
fell back upon the Tchatalja forts. the
last line Of defense for Constantinople.
Meantime the Serbians had swept
into Macedonia and were driving the

Good Ends Require Good Means.

Let no man turn aside, ever SO
slightly, from the broad path of honor,

One Aero-Eight. now running in Den
yer. which is used by a taxicab COM
pany in hauling tourists from Denver
10 Lookout Mountain, has negotiated
1900 miles on its original tires. This
record is hardly more extraordinary
than the gasoline mileage IL has made
having averaged better than 1875 miles
per gallon at the type OF work con-
sidered by engineers TO be the most
trying for which a passenger car can
be used regularly.
OF Aero Eight T0ursters in constant
service for the St. James Touring Car
and TaXicab Company in Denver, two
have run more than 21.oo0 miles on
original tires. and another has a
record of 3o,25S miles. Among the rive
other Aero-Eight Toursters operated
by this company, the poorest record
shown is 1850 miles, ranging from
that upward to l9. 800 miles
An Aero Eight Sportster owned by
