WHAT NAHK FOB THIS?
By KUis Pwter Butler.
I think of Belgium as a youth,
a slender lad .like David, tending
the flocks of peac* whilo all around
him 8lep« tho Goliath, nations. He
is armed with his sling and pc-bbles,
lhis Belgium, but he has no I'ear.
for the giants hav* sworn that how
ever much they may 1>attie he
sh.au not oe harmed. Then uPon
him leaps a liar giant, a breaker
of promise .and cries "Stand aside,
weakling! Break thou thy oath
and let me pass."
Scarred, bruised, wounded but
fighting still, the youth Belgium
fell back and back before the steel*
clad, blood-reeking monster, and Bel
ghim's name shall ever be honored.
He used the sling and the pebbles
well and fought a good fight.
Brave Belgium.
There Is another little nation.
H«ri by Belgium and in the path
of ih» oath-breaking Hun was this
lltil» nation that I think of as a
maiden. Like Belgium, Luxembou q
was a neutralized nation but, un
like Belgium, Luxembourg's neu
trality was an unarmed neutrality.
"Child," the nations said to her.
"you are our little sister and we
will kee2 you inviolate. We vow
the tow of strong me,) that we will
procect you and respect your weak
ness. Throw aside your iiunv wea
pon and trust to us."
The nations said that to Lux
embours in 1S6T. Her only for
tress was then dismantled a,td
r»zed 'o the ground and lier army
was reduced and limited to one
company of gendarmes and one

was made powerless to resist. She
was made as defenseless of Xydia,
the blind girl of Pompeii. It was
like some chapter iu tales of an
cient chivalry, with Luxembourg the
tend<*r, helpless maiden, surrounded
Or tie brave and trua knights
sworn to protect her. Had the
knights sworn by the blood of
Christ (3e knighta did in olden
days) their oaths could not have
been more solemnly sacred. A pledg
ed word is a pledged word, and
doubly sacred when given to the
helpless. The giant nations kept the n
oaths sacred. Except Germany.
Except Germany!
Against Germany we have mark
ed th« wrongs of Belgium—Liege
bombarded, Lou vain burned, old
men and women and children
murdered, slaughtered soldiers! and
ruined towns, and in a million
ye^rs Germany can not wipe out
that stain of a neural n^ion vlo
"but let us not forget Lux
embourg.
Without a fort, without an ar
my, Luxembourg drew up across

Germans laughed and rolled it

marched triumphantly into Luxem
bourn's long-dismantled fortress,
placed their feet on the breast of
the maiden they had sworn to pro*
tec', and went their way along
the smooth, unlawful roa<l to
Francs.
What is a motor van dumped in
to a ditch? It is a silly thing, with
helpless wheels sticking in the air,

Wither let us forget it. Let us
not forget that if anything could
