GENERALS SELECT BELGIUM FOR
It's An Old, Old Story From Caesar To Hitler
BATTLE-GROUND OF MANY WARS
Associated Press Feature Service

1t was no accident that the SOL
der poet wrote about the pop
pies of Flanders fields.
Those fields and all the low
land plains have been a battle
ground for the nations of western
ana OF central Europe since time
ImmemOTial.
The reason simply is that it's
the best spot on the western front
for armies to get at each other.
Rough terrain makes the upper
Rhineland more difficult.
When Caesar blItZkrIeged Gaul
2,0UO years ago he called the
DcIsac the bIaveSt of the tribes
men.
Even then Germanic tribes
were pressing against the GauIs
on these PLAINS. Later German
invaders, upon the breakdown OF
Roman power, drove through
Belgium.
In the Middle Ages the pOpu-
lous, prosperous lowlandS were
scIzcd by the dukes of Normandy,
and in 1916 they were subjected
10 the Hapsburg emperor, Charles
". Spanish tyranny brought
about the revolution that gave
The Netherlands freedom, but left
Belgium under Spanish or Aus
TRAN control until the French
Revolution.
Meantime Louis XIV sought TO
give France its natural bOunda-
ries" by expanding to the Rhine
England led a coalition of Aus
tria, Holland and the Germanic
states against MN, and the gran
diose schemes of Frances grand
monarch were drowned in blood
shed on Flanders fields.
For centuries England had had
d special interest in the lowlands
because it was there that her
wool was manufactured into fine
cloth. And about this time it be-
came evident England would
never agree voluntarily to the
domination of the lowlandssby a
major power.
So when Napoleon annexed
this territory to France in 1901,
he too had a war on his hands.
The last shot was fired at Water
loo, IN Belgium
Belgium was then united willy
nilly to Holland. Soon she re-
