To those who have stood upon the platform of Elsi- nore Castle, * that beetles o'er his base into the sea,' and, lost in wonder at the unique grandeur of the view from that spot, pondered on the history of the Danes, it may be permitted to hope that that rock may remain Danish, and that the Danes may decide to remain Danes. Passing to the German claim on Belgium, which is a purely Pan-German one, we find that it is of a some- what nebulous kind, being based on the plea of affinity of race and l...anguage between Low Germans and the Flemish peoples. It is also more complicated than is the case with Holland, because Belgium is a French country, where the French language is spoken by the cultured classes, and the people are Catholics. The cult of Deutschtum in Belgium is, therefore, a purely Pan-German affair. What they aim at is not so much the Germanization of the Flemish peoples as to en- courage and strengthen the national movement carried on by the Flemings themselves. In one sense it is a mild form of high treason that they are guilty of in a foreign country by aiding and abetting an anarchic movement To understand the Pan-German claim and the situation in Belgium generally, a few statistics are inevitable.
