Tho greater part of what Is now llolglum was, In tho early hlstory(of Kuropo, governed by Teutonic peo ple, Flnndors, tho remainder of Ilelgluui, wjib under French rulo. Tho progress of tho people of this land up to tho early nineteenth cen tury was gained only through con stant struggle to escape from en croachment of other European na tions. Holland, Franco, Germany, Austria nnd Spain, In that nation's glory, all liavo tried tholr hand at holding and governing tho Belgium people. The neutrality which Bel glum Is trying to maintain, was guaranteed in 18112 by a concert of tho Powers nfter llolglum had gain ed Its Independence, by severo fight ing, from tho Dutch. Kvcn then It took a French and English block ade of tho Dutch coast to firmly establish Belgian freedom. Belgium Is tho most thickly pop Hinted country in Europe. It has an area of 11,400 square miles with a population of 7r0,000,000. Mary land, with an area of 12.3U7 square miles, has n population of 1.294,-riO. This density of population In the llttlo kingdom has enforced tho cul tivation of small farms. Tho num ber of farmH of lesa than 1 1-4 acres Is more than a half million, with only a few thousand of fifty to one hundred and twcnty-flvo acres. The number of larger farms is now on tho incrense, partly because of the growth of tho stock-raising in dustry. Other causes of prosperity are the coal, mines and the textile and Iron and steel industries. Bc causo of tho presence of a great masB of industrial workers, the cause of socialism Is strong. The capital of (ho kingdom Is Brussels, with a population of 720, 000. The nation has no navy, but docs n largo Importing and export ing trade, with a fair-sized mer chant murine. Tho chief seaports on tho North Sea aro Ostend, Ileyst and Nleuport. Tho- only colony of tho country is tho Belgian Congo, Africa, whore rubber Is tho chief export. Bclglum'H.war strength up to last year was estimated at 180,000. Al most as If In, some forehanded know lcdgo of the turn of European af fairs a now law was passed Increas ing tho war strength to jH 0,000. This was divided Into 100,000 for field servlco, 60,000 for auxiliary purposo and 130,000 for garrisons. The largo garrison force Is made necessary by tho largo number of fortresses on the frontiers. The language of Bolglum Is largely French In tho south and Flemish In the north. The latter tongue Is a kind of combination of tho tongues of the Netherlands and France, Be sides this w French patois Is spoken among tho peasantry In tho country.

The pltHOHH logic of our own nnvul ox-' perl, ably abetted by tho figures of the weather map, explain tho heavy firing that was heard off Capo Blanco Wednesday afternoon. It waB only a thunder storm, saya the expert. Reverberations of thun der at sea sound exactly like the roar of big guns. Tho similarity Is heightened when you never heard tiio Bound of big guiiH at sea. Hero Is tho uvldouco: Tho weather map shows that 0.02 of an inch of rain foil at Marshflold nnd I.atoosk soon after tho battle startled tho Summer vacationers. Tho cloud had simply moved In from tho sea. It wan foggy at the time, so that tho people who were stretching their our on the beach could not see who tluir it was cloudy at sea or not. Slnru tho noise was heard In tbo daytime, they could not boo the lightning, "Tho reports," said one dispatch, "ended in rolling roverborntlnua." When the fog llftod there waa not a sign of a whip at sea. Neither tho Danzig nor the Nuremburg nor (he mysterious Jap ship that was I supposed to bo fighting tho two, ' rushed into the beach to keep fiom winking. liathoiB declared that tho "firing" lasted for about five hours. It would take just about 20 minutes to decide a battle between all tho warhlilps on tho Pacific Coast. In five hours every droadnaught of the wnrrlug nations could bo destroy ed. 2 and 2 aro still I.
