1113 determined stand made by
tho Uolglans to keep their
cloven thousand square miles of
territory, slightly larger than tho
State of Maryland, from becoming
a battle ground for other nations,
rests on an experience of similar
conditions dating dack to tho days
of Charlemagne and tho early Prank
ish empire.
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.

nlilv will liavu to wither and die. 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. The thunder
ktnrm seems to have It.
