War Topics Discussed
Mrs De Holt's talks on the war are
alwavs easily comprehended and are
a most enlightening part of her after
noons. The fall of Bucharest, she
called an empty victory for the Gei
man nation, as everything of 1 ^alue
had been removed tiom the city, tie-,
fore its capture. The German victory,
however, solves to a great extent the;
food supply of the nation, as it opens ,
up a wav 10 the rich farm lands ot I
i hat and nearby countries. The post-,
lion of Greece was discussed b> Li t
speaker and the strenuous demand,
made upon her. by the allies and the
pliable condition from the threaten^
revolutions. ,, , . ,
The deporting of the Belgians from
i heir country to Germany, was heard
from both sides. The Belgians ?Iai?
thev have no recourse but to go. that
ihev are herded like cattle and driven,
from the country, that Germany has.
laken even the machinery and the]
workman's tools. Germany hersell
asserts, she is actuated only by <.ne i
most worthy motives and wishes to >
save the country from idleness, whicn
lias a most demoralizing effect on a |
nation and ihat owing to ^
corner on raw materials and a desire
on her part to acquire, the manufat,
turies . of Belgium, the inten'ion of
Germany is purely humane. Tt'f
er continued that the entire truth or
ihe matter lies in that each man de
ported means a soldier less for Bel
gium and an extra German soldier
the workman replaced.
The death and life of the. Emperor
Francis Joseph was interestingly . e
