BELGIUM'S BELOVED ROYAL COUPLE

ALBERT LEOPOLD CLEMENT
~ MARIA ME1NRAD Is the full
"a name Of the king Of Belgium,
Il a the country which put up such
a splendid resistance to the advance of
the kaiser's forces. He is the younger
son Of the Duke Of Flanders and would
never have assembled the throne Of his
uncle. King Leopold, had not three 9th.
or heirs died before the old monarch.
Flanders oldest son, Prince Baldwin,
came to a lamentable end. shrouded In
q mystery similar to that which en-
quilted the death Of the Crown Prince
Rudolph Of Austria, 10 young Albert,
never intending to rule, vas educated
quietly and allowed to follow his own
tastes for books. for mathematics and
for bicycle riding.
He Is tall-over six feet, in fact-well
knit, broad of shoulder, and his face IN
q little chubby and pink checked. His
hair is light. golden. his features
straight and manly. and all Europe
calls him its handsomest king.
The king before he reached the
throne made a voyage to the Kongo.
On his return he made a deep Inn
preston upon humanitarian Europe by
his speech at Antwerp. announcing
that he would head the movement in
favor Of the natives welfare there and
would do everything in his power to
change the cruel conditions then ex-
listing. His impression Of the Kongo
also appeared In interesting book form.
King!Albert has a breezy style Of writ
ing. He is witty. and his cabinets, they
say are somewhat afraid Of his sense
Of huraor. For . long while before he
became king he was . newspaper. re-
porter. wrote stories, carried police
card and took his assignments a.
meekly as any cub.
His other accomplishments and
they are many-include motoring and
motor cycling. awaiting. riding and
driving. shooting and fishing and SOL
diering. He Is immensely popular. even
with the Socialists OF his senate. and
the people appreciate his democratic
businesslike attitude toward his posi-.

Washington. July 25.-Presiden
Wilson has withdrawn the nomination
Of Thomas d. Jones OF Chicago as
member of the federal reserve board
and 90 accepts the first defeat he hai
received at the hands Of congress.
Mr.. Jones was the presidents per
sonal choice" for the boerd. The presi
dent 90 announced several weeks ago
In . letter to Senator Owen. chairman
Of the banking and currency commit
tee. This letter was the signal for 70.
newed efforts on the part Of the sena-
tors opposing Jones. Their triumph
was signaiized BY the presidents an
nouncement.
The friends of the administration
made every effort to swing enough
votes to confirm Jones. They were at
least i've short. The attacks on the
president, on Jones and on the Demo
Gratis finally became so bitter that the
Democratic leaders went to the White
House and frantically urged the presi-
dent to give in.
The climax came when q group Of
senators who have been regarded as
friendly to the administration In the
fight sent word to the president that II
he forced them to vote they could not
and would not support him and
his candidate. Among these senators
were Clarke Of Arkansas, johnson OF
Maine and Shively OF Indiana. There
were eight or nine others in the group,
sufficient to convince even the prest-
dent that the outlook was hopeless.
The president did not take his defeat
gracefully. There Is an underlying
note of bitterness in his letter to Mr..
Jones. acceding to his request that his
name be withdrawn. and with certain
amount Of sarcasm he refers to Sem
ators Reed of Missouri and Hitchcock
of Nebraska. who were leading the
fight against Jones. as members OF the
majority who have usually acted with"
the Republicans.
The presidents withdrawal Of the
nomination came at the close OF day
in which both the president and Jones
were bitterly attacked by senators op-
posed to the appointment.
Senator Reed Of Missouri. Democrat,
in speech to the senate, denounced
the Harvester trust, Of which Jones Is
a director; characterized Jones, by in
ference, as a criminal, and indirectly
attacked the president as an enemy OF
Democracy.
Senator Hitchcock Of Nebraska,
Democrat. introduced an amendment
to the trade commission bill to rendeA
ineligible to the federal reserve board
any person connected with corpora
ton such as the Harvester trust.
Senator william Alden Smith of
Michigan. Republican. in an interview
accused the president OF lack OF can
dor in the Jones appointment.
