Rhine was closed.
Finally came the phrase, concluding the conversation: "Whoever violates
our neutrality will force us to become the allies of his enemy." There

TO KING AND PEOPLE.
By WALTER SICHEL.
[From King Albert's Book.]
_All the great things have been done by the little
peoples._--DISRAELI.
Sire, King of men, disdainer of the mean,
Belgium's inspirer, well thou stand'st for all
She bodes to generations yet unseen,
Freedom and fealty--Kingship's coronal.
Nation of miracles, how swift you start
To super-stature of heroic deeds
So brave, so silent beats your bleeding heart
That ours, e'en in the flush of welcome, bleeds.
No sound of wailing. Look, above, afar,
Throbs in the darkness with triumphant ray
A little yet an all-commanding star,
The morning star that heralds forth the day.

marked breadth and penetration in which he presents a quite
novel view of the forces which, in combination, have brought
Germany to its actual position.
