Excerpt from Belgium Old New With wealth pouring in from all quarters, art natur ally followed in the wake of commerce. Nowhere was the cultivation of architecture more general than in Flan ders. Knowledge of the Middle Ages is so imperfect that little can be written with certainty about the men who designed and built the wondrous cathedrals and guild halls; but it is believed that these superb structures owe the1r origin to a great secret masonic league or guild, bound probably by religious vows, with headquarters in France and the Netherlands, and branches elsewhere in Europe. To a branch of this league are attributed the splendid buildings with which the Netherlands adorned the twelfth and fifteenth centuries. Chief among these buildings were the cathedrals of Flanders and Brabant (motley). Burgher opulence and energy are grandly and vigorously expressed in the secular buildings of these towns. For example, we have the Hall of the Cloth Makers (destroyed in at Ypres; Town Hall at Bruges, 1284; Council House at Bruges, 1377; Council House at Brussels, 1401 - 5 5; the still more magnificent Town Hall at Louvain, belonging to the second half of the fifteenth century; and that at Oudenarde, built in 1527 - (destroyed in 1915) (lubke's History of Art.

Excerpt from Belgium's Agony A Few weeks after the outbreak of war the newspapers, in an obscure paragraph, stated that German artillery had bombarded the Flemish village of Saint-Amand, near Antwerp. Nearly simultaneously, but in numerous and prominent columns, they described the wanton and ruthless destruction of the ancient university city of Louvain. Thirdly, on August 24, began the great British retreat from the line Mons-Conde, the retreat to south-westward that experts hold to rank among the finest military achievements of history. And between these three happenings there is a connecting link other than the tremendous struggle of which they form a part, a link to which subsequent events and, most of all, this little book have given a melancholy and tragic interest.

Excerpt from The Glory of Belgium: A Tribute and a Chronicle Though Belgium cannot claim to have influenced our English literature to nearly the same extent as have many other European countries, yet the two nations have mostly lived in a close fellow ship and some of our poets have sung of that noble plot of land which became the Kingdom of Belgium in 1830. That part of the Old province of Flanders now forming a portion of Belgium claims a fair share of these poetical tributes, and seems often to have been visited by English armies, for the most part friendly, since Van Artevelde sought the aid of Edward III. Against French influence. Belgium has now earned the undying gratitude and admiration of our country and her Allies, and it is therefore hoped this small selection of poems may not be without a unique interest to all lovers of poetry, for there has of late been a large addition from which to choose made to our English verse bearing one way or another on Belgium - a revival, on an even greater scale, of the outpourings of poets when inspired by the great events culminating in Waterloo.

Excerpt from Belgian Days The station-master stood on the platform, await ing the afternoon express from Paris, while a few porters in gray blouses hurried up to the scene of action, on the look-out for a job. The express thundered into the station, and stopped. The window was lowered in a first class compartment, and a lady's small, neatly gloved hand appeared over the side, making an ineffectual attempt to open the door from the outside. This manoeuvre caught the guard's eye; he sprang forward and swung the door wide Open. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Belgium and "the Scrap of Paper" There are two ways of regarding such a crime as the German invasion of Belgium. The natural impulse of every normal man, as he realised, first that a treaty had been broken, and then that an unprovoked invasion had been aggravated by more than the common ruthlessness of war, was one of honest anger. There was every justification for that anger. It is an axiom of the law of nations, older by far than the Hague Convention, that the territory of neutrals is inviolable, and in this case Belgium was no ordinary neutral. Perpetual neutrality had been imposed upon her by the Powers, and Prussia signed the treaty which established it. Belgium was the vestal virgin of Europe. Her security was a claim on the honour of her neighbours, and the Power which threatens it, is guilty of something worse. Than an attack on Bel gium. It has weakened the fabric of faith and honesty among peoples, substituted force for law in their intercourse, and delayed the march of civilisation. These are abstract words; it is. A heavier count against Germany that she has rendered hundreds of thousands of Belgians homeless, and made widows and orphans among a people which had done her no wrong.

Excerpt from Bottled Up in Belgium: The Last Delegate's Informal Story There have been times when I thought that the people who have been at home have been the ones who have seen things and experienced emotions. There were days in February and March, 1917, when the men in Belgium had a sense of being far away from the real march of events. For the thrills they had to depend upon the meager bits of news that leaked in. They brought blazing visions.
