| AT GRAND HEADQUARTERS OF THE
KING OF THE BELGIANS, INSIDE
BELGIUM FRONTIER, Feb. 6.
Dogeedly determined never to yield the
remainder of his little kingdom TO the
Germans, King Albert Is here on the
fighting line. directing the movements or
the reorganized Belgian forces along the
User. Offlcers In close touch with the
king told me today he would never
abandon Belgian soil If the Germans made
another advance.
"He would enter the trenches inside
the frontier of his kingdom and meet his
end with a gun at his shoulder, one Of
fcer told me-
And he added: THE whole Belgian
army Is saturated with the same spirit. ="
This is not the same army that feli

in the trenches. The Belgian officers
escorted me on q tour of the advance
posts. Our trip took us at times to within
100 yards of the German lines.
The country along the User is tragic
waste. The most dismal swamp would be
n Garden of Eden by comparison. Water
stretches across the fields from Dunkirk
to Ostend. From the seacoast to Ypres,
criss-crossed by roads built up by both
armies and dotted by tiny Islands, the
country is occupied by ruins of deserted
farmhouses, standing out like silent
sentries in the flood.
The outposts are a new luxury for the
Belgians. They We're unable to establish
them prior to the German check because
the Kaiser's armies had poured in upon
them too rapidly. The reserve forces are
another luxury. The outposts, by prevent
ing surprises, and the reserves, by taking
relief duty, insure regular periods OF re-
pose for all.
These things are working wonders
toward keeping the soldiers in fine con-
dition physically and preserving their ex-
cellent morale. A staff officer told me
that tho Belgian army was never so eff
fective so determined as now
King Albert's tenaclty is the thing that
has gripped the men," he said. He has
refused to permit his own spirit to be
broken. He has imbued his men with a
fervor not unlike that of the followers OF
