Thoughts For The Times
! Belgium Busy Again. ! The visitor in Brussels to-day apprej eiates all it means to he alive, and is j profoundly impressed by the evidence j produced on every hand that the liouvI ancy of spirit he shares with the Bel- ! gia-ns is due, to the commercial activity lin Belgium. Everyone is busy, with j that whole-hearted enthusiasm which j is tile panacea for the fre.t and fume of 1 life. From the beginning of the Belgian trip in Antwerp comes a new sense ! of something to prize and enjoy, the j results of well-directed labour. The 1 docks are crowded with workers, and J strange as it may seem to the uninitia- . ted observer, the repairing dockyards j hold many “tramps” the quays are ■ loaded, and the clearing sheds seem in a state of unprecedented bustle. The i townspeople are busy, and intent on “filling the unforgiving minute with sixty seconds’ worth of distance.run.” And the whole atmosphere conveys the idea that Belgium intends to he greater than ever before.
