any excitement at all as they entered.
Not man tried to get into the boat.
They stood bravely by and babe fare
well cheerfully to their wives and
families who put off in the boats.
Il was ordered into lHeboat No. IA

royal family, was issued in the fol,
lowing terms:
Since recent garden partly held

the garden party the queen OF the Bel.
gians surprised King Albert in the
company of a lady of the chamber,
and that the queen shot the woman
dead with a revolver
King Albert had no knowledge of
these reports, although, for several
days military officers attached to the
court had learned of them by tele.
phone calls, both from Belgium and
abroad. After consultation it was de.
cided to acsuaint the king with the
report. His majesty was astonished
and very indignant. He decided to
prosecute the authors of the reports
and all persons repeating them.
