Some Notable
Birthdays Today

with his soldiers at the User, is 40
years old today. Although he is
without a kingdom or a home, he
commands the admiration of the
world. Three months sufficed to
crush King Albert and his trusting
countrymen. Entirely unprepared
for violation of treaty obligations
that protected his land. the King
made a determined stand to preserve
the nation and its integrity. The
Belgians displayed heroic courage
and patriotism. and his people have
suffered ruin with a patience that is
sublime.
! From the day that King Albert
came to the throne of Belgium, the
whole world realized that a new or
der of King had come to rule. He
was first of all, noble man, one to
command respect and admiration for
, his fine qualities. His one aim was
to make his people happy and pros
porous. He came incognito to
America to study our industrial con-
ditions and our school systems. He
spent weeks among the steel work.
ers of Pennsylvania, and full week
in Boston studying educational
methods.
King Albert was born at Brussels
, April 8, 1875. Up to the time he
was 16 years of agethere had been
no expectation that he would ever
come to reign. His father, Philippe.
Count of Flanders, was the heir, and
his eldest brother, Count Baldwin,
was the heir presumptive. His eld-
err brother died, then the father. and
in 1909 came the death of Leopold,
king of Belgium. On succeeding
Leopold six years ago, his first work
was to make a complete reform in
the methods of conducting the Bel
gian Congo colonies. While he had
much affection for Leopold, he de-
plored many of his practices, and, al
though Leopold was angy about it.,
Prince Albert had gone to the Con-
go to study conditions there for
himself.
The most important event in the
life of King Albert was the ideal
love match he made with the Prin-
cess Elizabeth of Bavaria, who is to-
day doing for the Belgians as noble
wor as her husband.
King Albert is truly loved by his
people. He is called the greatest
ruler in Europe, from the standpoint
of the common people. Fate has
dealt him a cruel blow within the
last year. The kindness Of Ameri-
cans in providing for his ruined
people has deeply touched him, and
has given him courage to fight II
out with his valiant troops in the
trenches.
The most cruel cut that King Al
bert has endured is the charge thai
his country violated its agreements
and made secret treaties whlcn ap'
rogated its rights as q neutral "a
; ton in the European war. That HI,
honor and that of his country viii
be proven to the world the firm
faith Of King Albert.
