A strong squadron of British dreadnoughts is now massed at Ostend, and also along the ¢oast, watching the French harbor cities. This fleet will be used to prevent the Germans taking sea-coast cities and thus establishin}: a hase for a possible Zeppelin attack on England. There is much sympathy here for the Belgians who are again bearing the brunt of the war. Belgium is pay- ing a bitter price for her opposition to Germany's mili- tary plans, and even though the allies may win, she may never be able to recover from the ravages of war.
