ARMY manoeuvres in Belgium have caused the Ger- 
man forces no little anxiety. The Germans have a plan 
they are pounding away at, but the poor little Belgian 
nation has been a thorn in the flesh. The gallant little 
republic has been virtually a buffer for the French na- 
The French nation can never repay the Belgium 
people for their independence. It cannot be said that the 
Belgians take sides with the French, because it has re- 
fused to admit Germany, for it is more than likely that 
Belgium would have been as quick to assail France had

ported. It would be hard for the district to find a better 
man by business training and temperamental inclinations, 
with the leisure to represent them. Without any dis- 
paragement of the qualification of any of the candidates 
running Mr. Dow should be one of the two chosen by the 
district. 7
