Thus Belgian has to chose between

in the Belgian ambition TO reunite

Belgium And France Plan
Closer Relations To Meet
German Menace In Future

NEW YORK. April 26.-Announce-
IN ment OF the Development OF closer
political relations between Bel
GUM and France, relations envisag-
ing a common alliance in the face OF
the renewed German menace. have
! peculiar value at this time. when the
sympathies between the larger allies,
who fought the war against Germany,
have visibly cooled.
To put the thing simply. France
and Belgium, with a combined popula-
tion a little short OF 100000 are
capable not merely OF putting into the
field forces sufficient to hold the
armies Of Germany now reduced TO
a population inferior 20 $4,000. 900 at
the Rhine barrier easily, but for an
indefinite time in the Ardenness or
rather in the extension Of the Arden
ness highlands between the Belgian
and French frontiers and the Rhine.
Had the Belgian army been organ
lied at the strength fOreseen by the
laws already in operation in 1914, had
its operation been coordalned with
those OF the French and British.
above all had the Belgian as well as
the British armies been under French
command in 1914 as they were in
1913. the outcome OF the first weeks
Of the war might have been far dir
ferent.
Assuming that Belgium could, in
the future mobilize 100000 men at the
outbreak Of a new war, these added
to the French million would constf-
tute a force substantially equal TO
anything the Germans could hope to
send westward. in view Of their Pol
ism problems In the east Moreover
the situation created by the return of
to France and the
transfer to French control Of Luxem-
burg railways, in German hands in
1914, totally changes the face Of
things to the advantage OF Belgium
and France and this advantage IS in
creased by the destruction OF German
Qualifications on the Rhine.
The lessons Of the last war clearly
established the fact that under mod
