Show PITY THE POOR BABES. Harrowing news comes from Belgium in a letter from the minister of arts and sciences to the president of the Belgian relief fund in New York. The , letter expresses gratitude for a contribution contri-bution to the Belgian children's relief fund, but also calls attention to the fact that ' ' tens of thousands of children chil-dren arc slowly starving and dying in tho occupied part of Belgium for the lack of proper nutrition." The occupied occu-pied part of Belgium is where Germau ' ' Kultur " holds sway and where the kaiser's love for God and humanity finds its bct expression. How this Hoheni'.oHern must grieve when he reads that the starvation "is becoming agonising ago-nising for new ly born babes in Bel- ;gium" and then turns to the Almighty tied to pray for victory for the German Ger-man arms. But the Belgians are praying, pray-ing, too, and all Christendom is in arms against this impious wretch who murders mur-ders babes by the tens of thousands I t'nd th-n -lares approach the throne of Grace. Many of these unfortunate lit-I lit-I tie ones in the occupied parts of Bcl-; Bcl-; giuni cannot be saved from death, but they will not die unavenged. An army is being raised in the United States to put an end to such horrors and it will nnibc lung before soldiers from Japai and South America are sent to Europi) 1 unless all signs fail, to rescue the su:J viviug little ones. |
