GRAND HEADQUARTERS OF THE
KING or THE BELGIANS, IN WEST

(Via London. Dec. 2S-In the council
chamber OF an ancient Flemish town hall,
from which he 10 directing. under German
shell fire, the resistance of his war-worn
little army, blocking the road to Dunkirk
and Calais, King Albert of the Belgians
today told the Associated Press of the
stand his soldiers are making against the
German invaders. The kings headquar-
ters Is located on one of tho remaining
dry areas OF that small corner of Belgium
LETT under his rule.
King Albert also requested the Associ-
ated Press to convey to the people of the
United States his deep gratitude for their
efforts to feed his subjects now under
German military rule.
Monarch L. Alone.
The monarch was alone when the cor
respondent was admitted to the council
chamber, not even an aide being present.
The kings tall angular. Bincoln-like
form was clothed in the simple undress
uniform of a general of artillery, which
was without insignia, beyond braided
a staff officer

but lines of care show in his otherwise
youthful face. In manner he is decidedly
shy and he apologized for his English.

light from a smoky oil lamp barely pene-
trated the recesses of the great beamed
hail, from the walls Of which empty
picture frames stared down.
Can't Even Get Frames.
When the king saw the eyes Of the
correspondent fixed on these blank spaces
where afew months ago invaluable Flem-
ish canvas hung he smiled and said he
no longer expected the Germans to even
be in position to take the frames
Modestly he praised the courage OF his
soldiers speking OF them as great kindli-
ness-as though he were talking about
his own children.
II believe" he said. my army is
courageous My people. however. are too
democratic for the same discipline that
prevails in the conscript European armies
You will see something OF the bravery
of my people when tomorrow you shall
have the chance to witness the peasants
working their fields under shell fire, con-
cerned only for the losses of their homes,
the destruction of which causes them
great grief"
Enough Food in sight.
When Edgar sengeer Belgian attache
to the American commission for the re-
lief of Belgians. entered and presented
King Albert with a report from the com
mission showing that enough food was
In sight to feed his people until Febru-
ary 12, the kind turned quickly to the cor
respondent, saying;
"Wnl you he kind enough to convey
to the American people my deep graft
