The Soldiers of Belgium,
' Daring my stny in Antwerp I saw
a rarade or 10,UUU Uelgian troops
These are the troops which belong to
tbe foits extending around this lorti
tied town. I he men are small and
very careless in their dress. They
march in a very slouching way.
They do not appear as well as our
country militia. They do not look
iike soldiers. I do not believe that
lU.OUy ot them would stand up
against the charge of one determined
German regiment. v
The Belgians pride thcra-e'ves very
much upon the fortifications about
Antwerp. .The city is entirely m
closed by these fortifications, hey
are stiong u defended by the right
kind of men; but with ; the Belgian
duldiers behind them I do not thick
that, it wculd bedifficult for any
mod -rn army ot the gat powers to
take Antwerp. But tbe importance
ot Antwerp as a military outpost to
protect the neutrality of the Belgian
country has been ere&tlr, overrated
