In the question of the trial of the
former kaiser and war criminals, too,
Belgium accuses Britain of being too
eager to conciliate Holland, and the
allies tacit consent to the trial Of
selected criminals" by the Leipsic
courts has aroused much bitterness
here.
This is not the view Of disgruntl-
ed politicians and diplomatists or
extremists, man of whom say far
stronger things about British post
war policy, but it is the growing
feeling among thinking people Of all
classes, who see in the allies strug-
giles with their own reconstruction
problems, especially as regards Brit
ish policy, a disposition to let gal
liant little Belgium" get out of her
troubles as best she can.
Among the Belgian masses there
lis far less discontent and bolshevik
sentiment than has been apparent
in the countries of her less ravaged
neighbors. The Belgian people are
hard-working and thrifty, and with
their own national problems to solve,
they are facing the task of recon
struction bravely.

Brussels. CBy MaiD One of the
first things that strikes the foreign
observer here is the growing reyul
sion of Belgian national feeling
against her most intimate wartime
allies, especially Great Britain.
While Britain, France and Italy
ARE disposed to blame the United
States for adopting the purely sell
fish policy, Belgium which is receiv-
ing cheap food from America alone,
and consequently has no crouch
against the United States is look
ing askance at the selfish policy
of Anglo-Franco-ltaian governments.

the generous promises showered on
poor little Belgium in the hour Of
her trial.

ing about nation which was not
Immediately threatened with invasion
throwing down the guantlet on be-
half of her smaller neighbor. Per
haps Belgians built too much on
this, but the utterances of British
statesmen throughout the war only
tended to endorse and consolidate
tbs opinion, Now weighing up per-
formances against promises, Belgium
is disposed to repeat the old jeer
about Britain being nation Of
shopkeepers' and to add somewhat
bitterly that the storekeepng ma
tion seems to be wrapped up in self
interest.
The high cost of living is, of course
considerable factor. Unlike Amer
lea, Britain has sent very little cheap
food to Belgium, and the observant
Belgian cannot fail to note that he
is paying from two to three times
the price of foodstuffs in England.
The high raet of exchange as be-
tween Belgium Oh the one hand, and
Britain and the United States en- the
clAer coupled with q plethora of
Belgian paper money, and an ab-
sence of real wealth makes it far +
better business for Belgium to buy
what she wants from Germany
which, being still very bitter against
the authorities of all her troubl s.
Belgium is net at all anxious to do.
A further cause of offense is that
among TIE machinery sent by Brit
ain to Belgium is much stuff mark
ed, Made in Germany which the
patriotic Belgian hoped to avoid in
ordering machine parts from En-
gland. The promises as to repara-
tons and restoration also still re-

Mrs. Muriel McSwiney, widow of
the late Terence McSwiney, Lord
Mayor of the Irish City of Cork, who
recently died from hunger in the
Brixon prison, London, arrived in
New York last Saturday, to appear
before a committee making an inves-
tigation of the conditions in Ireland
and to join others of her countrymen
working here for the cause of Irish
freedom. There are enough of Irish
without the yellow streak, in the
United States, to do much for the
little green island, which has been so
long and so brutally oppressed by the
big English bully-and they will go
their full length in extending that
help.

Instructive talks are being made

present conditions of education in

News same from Nashville last
Saturday that G. o. P. leaders are
mad as hornets and raising the very
dickens about Uncle ALI Taylor, Gov
ernor elect by some forty OF fifty
thousand majority, talking about
making his Democratic son, Ben, his
private secretary. We had not been
on to any special objection to Ben on
the part of the Republicans at large,
but on the contrary had heard dis
tinguished members of the party
speak most favorable of the appoint
ment of Ben-but there seems to have
come a change and leaders are cred
tied with intimating that if Ben Tay-
lor is stationed in the front room of
the executive offices, they will never
set foot over the threshold. Others
say they do not propose to run the
gauntlet of Ben Taylor and his Demo-
cratic advisors every time they want
to get in to see Uncle ALI. They are
said to be writing Uncle ALT and
some of them go so far as to pay 3.6
cents per mile railroad fare to go to
Johnson City to see him-with the
chance that when they get there they
will find Uncle ALI off with 90 Linn
Der" fox hunting-and in case they
do find him at home, he has
mind of his own in spite of his more
than three score years; in fact, the
Taylors are said to be real obsti-
nate on occasion. They might stand
Ben, but they say he made no speech
es for his daddy and that he has for a
law partner one Thad A. Cox, of
Johnson City, a politician compared
with whom the slippery eel is a
trough customer" 1t is all mighty
funny-we wonder how it will end. A
local Republican tells US that Ben
Taylor is one of the best speakers the
famous Nat Taylor family has pro-
duced--he might make dandy pri-
vate secretary.
