Belgium, like England, has hitherto taken no harsh measures agminst "pi In consequence espionage has ourished to an extént almost unbe- lievable. In Liegd in the ruins of a large German warehouse burned by German shells nearly one hundred thousand rifles that had gradually been collected for use were found.

The moral effect of victory will be as great as it is strategic. It has given to France all her long harbor- ed dreams of entering Alsace again and avenging the war of 1870. A graphic sentence in the official re port gives a notion of the French spirit, "le mordant de nos tropes a ete prodigieux." Paris is weeping with joy. Many of the residents remember the dolorous days when the provinces were annex- ed.

A port at the latter spot/would be use- ful to any hestile force, since it would be naturally protected, from the guns of the forts and could on- Iv be attacked from the' Beauport cliffs, if sufficient water could be fourfd: te. make a harbor. The Ger- man agents did not get much infor- mation, as their nationality and pur poses were quickly divined, and they were referred to the marine depart- ment at Ottawa. At last reports they had not appHed to Hon. Mr. Hazen or any of Ae assistants for such information. Should any such spies be captur- ed it might prove very uncomfort- able for them, 8s in war time a spy is liable to trial by court martial, and if convicted the military law prescribes that he face a platoon of soldiers with loaded rifles and a con- venient grave nearby.

New York, Aug. 10.--One of Most notable successors of Russian diplomacy in recent years was the detachment of Roumania from the triple alliance and the alignment of King Carol with the combination known as the triple entente, consis- ting of Great Britain, France and | Russia. As between Austria and Rus- sia, King Carel and his people. had little to choose. Austria-Hungary holds Transylvania, which is inhabi- ted largely by Roumanian people. On the other hand, Russia, after the war "against Turkey in 1877-8, rewarded its ally, Roumania, by tak- ing away from it the rich province of Bessarabia, writes Trebel Tskrin, and giving to the Roumanians ' in exchange the strip of Swampy Bul- garian soil at the mouth of the Dan: ube; known as the Dobrudja. Nevertheless, in the present inter- national struggle Roumania is rang- ed with Russia against Austria. Be- hind this alignment is an interest- story of King Carol's diplomacy in the second Balkan war--a feat which placed Roumania in the position of the dominant factor, for the time be- ing, among the Balkan states, When the first Balkan war broke and the allies began to push the | Turks out of Europe, King Carol {found himself unable to participate in the prospective distribution of Ot- | toman territory because his country |at no point touched the Turkish em- pire. 'In these circumstances, he ad- | vises the scheme of demanding "'com- | pensation" from Bulgaria for its neu- | tre ity in the struggle. This '"'com- { pensation" was to be be a strip of | Bulgarian territory contiguous to the | Dobrudjan boundary. King Carol's plan found ready ac- ceptance at St. Petersburg, where it was readily seen that the wrong Rus- sia had done Roumania in 1878 could be partly righted at the expense of Bulgaria in 1913.

Very Important and Events, In English history the years end- ing in the figures "14" have been years of the most important battles and events, In 1214, King John went to France to arrest the proposed attack on Eng- land, but the Englishmen were total- ly routed at Bouvine. In England, his foes took the field with an army, and in the June following King John was forced to sign the famous Magna Charta. In the year 1314, the Battle of Bannockburn was fought, in which the Scots, under Bruce, defeated Fd- ward II. on June 24th. The Scottish victory resulted in their independen- te, In 1414, guns were first used in warfare! Henry V. after the victory at Calais, was arbiter of Europe. In 1514, on August 7th, peace was made by England with North France and Scotland, after the famous bat- tle of Flodden Field, and the battle of the Spurs under Henry VIII.
