When the Germans. left Belgium they left chaos, The two things a country must-have to be prosperous were missing — transportation and fuel. The invader had destroyed bridges carried away stations, wrecked cul- verts and blown away rights of way. But before he was gone the Belgians were making steel rails to replace those he had destroyed and their air- plains were mapping the — railway | lines wiped. out. “State cngincers and army engin- eers pitched in to rebuild and now, hardly .a red line that. means a rail- | * way destroyed is left on the maps. Last year Belgium had 6000 more miners at work than in 1913 and her coal output. wi pre-war figure. In 1920 she will pro- duce more coal than in 1913, And she needs that coal for the mills and factories which are run- ning full blast to provide the materi- als to re-build wrecked homes and; replace whole towns. Shipping Increase | One month after the armistice 50 ships did business at the port of Ani- werp. Their tonnage was 73,822. In March, 1919 289 ships, with tonnage of 368,396, sailed in and ‘out. In 920, 691 ships, with a tonnaze | 6,257, This about one-third of tre pre- war business of the port. Antwerp covered a third of a business abso- lutely dead for almost six years. Belgium imported goods in 191) valued at 34,296,000 frances. (A franc at par is about 20 cents.) Already this year she has bought on the world market. 2,727,370,000 francs | worth of raw material.

But in this same half year she has sold to. the world 825,102,000 francs worth of manufactured goods against 830,009,- 009 in all of 1919. -That is, the proof of Belgium’s real “industrial come- back.” «On Old Battle Line Only in Flanders is Belgium slow, The very soil of this fertile region was blown away.
