Then .leaving Berlin, he entered the Brlgian cabinet and has since direct ed the foreign affairs of the country, fijadin& time also . to write a book which graphically describes "the Week of tragedy" at the German cap ital when the British and French am bassadors and himself made their last attempts to . prevent the. European conflict. :. , i"he '' M inistry of Foreign ..Affairs, where Baron Beyens was seen, is in stalled at : Ste. Adresse, a suburb of Ha. vre, in ythe Villa Hollandais, a rus tic chalet : occupied in ordinary times by seashore visitors, - but now. bear ing on the outer sate a small plac ard reading v "Ministers "des Affaires Estrangerts de Belgique." . ,A foreign office usually suggests marble halls and big diplomatic rooms, with ambas sadors sitting ambng oil paintings and mahogany f urnsWngs. But the Villa Hollandais has nothing of this kind. Three small pine structures have haan nut tin in thp. trnrflpn for varl. QU8 d,plom Jfc an(J branchea; Inside the villa there is the . simpli city of a summer cottage, but every thing is scrupulously welf done and effective. Baron Beyens expressed at the out set the deep sense of appreciation felt by Belgium toward the people of the United States, and, in particular, to ward those who had directed the work of sending, food supplies to Belgium. VI am always glad to meet an American." paid he, "and to express is difficult for me to say . how much we feel indebted to Mr. Hoover, head cf the committee directing the relief work of Belgium. He has proved him self a man of great resource and great ability in the gigantic task of providing for a whole nation which found itself suddenly threatened ' with starvation or at least with cruel pr valion. It was a task, moreover, res quiring much diplomatic tact' as well as business knowledge, for the relief committee was obliged to deal be tween the German officials" on the one. hand and the Allied officials on the other. But all this -has-been' ac complished with infinite skill; obsta cles which seemed at times insur mountable have been overcome, and practical results, have been realized which are of the highest importance to Belgium and the Belgian, people. "The American Minister at Brus sels, Mr. Brand WThitlo.ck, , bas , also won our-, unbounded admiration and respect in performing a work of col ossal magnitude under most trying conditions. Remaining at Brussels while the government was constrain ed by circumstances to establish itself temporarily outside at - Belgian, the American minister has been, with his courageous Spanish colleague, the bulwark between our citizens -remaining fn the invaded, regions, and the German military and civil authorities temporarily in control., Outside of the horrors and atrocities of war which have been committed, the or dinary administration, of v civil affairs has been carried out with an, iron hand and with rigorous harshness., In all this Minister WJiitlock . has stood between -our people and the .rigors or the German ; military administration, and: such, lenience as we have re ceived has come largely through . his energetic, and disereet intervention. "But," ,- added the. , Minister, , nhe names of Americans, who have shown this good . will toward.: Belgium in very practical ways Is almost UQlim- ited Dr Watson of , tbe ,:Amerlcan Church at Paris, y and Mrs. , Watson, Mr, .

All will be firm to you, on my honor, that it does not exist. No, the legend of the se - cret treaty is a pure invention set up to tustifv. in the eves of the world, the crime against Belgium. "In refusing the ' demand of Ger many to cross Belgium, we were sim- ply performing a duty. We were bound to act toward our German neighbor to the east just as we would have done toward our French neigh-f bor to the west, for our duty and all our . interests tended to maintain thei same attitude toward the powerful ! neighbors on our two frontiers. Sup- pose France , had been the one to ask the right to cross Belgium and to at-, bound to refuse it. And had such a demand ever been made, and ever been 'granted, what would Germany have. said? It would have denounced us as, violators of a treaty, and as false and dishonorable. Doubtless the world would have, agreed with this view, had Belgium taken such a course. "But, happily, this . contingency did not arise.; ; France never ! sought .to enter Belgium. Yet here again Ger many, has sought to set up a legend thai French designs oa Belgium led to the German invasion of the coun try. But that legend has been abun dantly disproven. No, Germany's course in entering Belgium was pure ly a strategic military operation, carefully planned longr in advance, and without the slightest Justification of being a defensive move against French design. . Against that, our King and government took the only pat hopen to them the path of honor There was nothing remaining but to defend our freedom, sword in hand, at the price of the nation's best blood' a freedom that the Germans, after) defeating France, r would: have with Thera'i Nothing on Earth Like It Pot Corns ajid'CaUtiws.
