Like the humblest OF his subjects,

Albert was driven forth and his
country forcibly taken away from
him. Queen Elizabeth and her three

royal palace to Brussels, 20 another

there appeared to be no breakers
ahead. In his first speech from the
throne he said:
I'VE must continue our unshakable
attachment to constitutional liberty
and the love OF independence, and
thus hold sacred our patrimony
while advancing toward the peaceful
conquests in the fields of labor and
science"
No one In the kingdom was more
faithful in setting that example than
were the new King and Queen. They
had no fear that quarrels between
their powerful neighbors would dis
turb the peaceful progress of their
country, for Belgium was assured by
treaty with all Of them OF all the
advantages of neutrality.
That treaty was the now famous
''scrap of paper" which the German
Kaiser tore up when King Albert, in
sisting on respect for its provisions,
refused permission to the German
armies to pass through his domain
into France Otherwise those armies
would first have to demolish all the
strong fortresses on the French
frontier. This permission being re-
fused, the Kaiser proceeded to smash
the strong fortresses of Belgium, and
the Belgians, in spite of signed
pledges Of neutrality, became the fiTst
victims of the war declared between
Germany and France. How they
fought against those tremendous odds
and are stfh fighting against all
hope has won for them the admira
ton OF the civilized world.
King Albert himself is often In the
trenches with his men. splashed witt
mud thrown up by German shells
like them often lacking the ordinary
comforts of life. Only a few weekl
ago. when his soldiers protested
against their monarch taking such
risks. he said to them:

country than is yours. My place il

No one knows better than does
King Albert that IL Germany wins in
this war Belgium as a nation will
cease to exist. Along with part of
France It Will become part of the
German empire. But he also knows
that France and England and Russia,
too. are making common cause with
him. and that Il the allies win his
