THE BELGIAN BATTLEGROUND
By the HON. WILLIAM H. TAFT.
[From King Albert’s Book.]
THE heart of the world should go out to the poor people of Belgium. Without being in any respect a party to the controversies of the war, their country has been made the battleground of the greatest and in some respects the most destructive war in history. Any movement to relieve their distress has my profound sympathy.
