CLIENT. Wednesday. Nov. 10
(By the Associated Press Skiing AL
bert. Queen Elizabeth and Prince
Leopold, of Belgium, made their Of
fetal entrance into Client today. The
royal party moved through cheering
throngs amid showers of roses and
chrysanthemums. Every balcony,
window and roof was covered with
people, some of whom chung peril
ously TO chimneys and cOrnices.
The royal party entered at IL
o'clock. The king wore the uniform
of Belgian general, without decora-
tions. Prince Leopold was in the uni
form of a private soldier of a second
line regiment, and the queen wore a
simple mpagne-colored habit.
The troops which entered the city
formed the first division of the Bel
gian army. In peace times, these
men were quartered at Client. They
were given a great reception by the
citizens, their battered helmets and
tattered uniforms bearing evidence Of
the recent fighting.
The royal party halted in the CEN
ter of Place dArmes and reviewed
the whole first division, these soldiers
being veterans of the whole four
years war. As the regiments filed
past, with their bands playing, the
king and prince saluted and the queen
bowed and smiled.
Simono Van Der Leyne, a ten-year-
old girl, rushed through the line of
lancers and presented a bouquet to
the queen. An aid lifted the child
and the queen kissed her on both
checks. The little girl then returned
proudly TO her mother and exclaimed
with mingled pride and awe: "Moth-
er, the queen kissed me-" Queen
Elizabeth's gracious act was cheered
by the throng-
The crowd then sang the "Braban-
come" and wound up with a tremen-
dous outburst of applause. King Al
bert then went to the city hall, where
he was received by Actinb Mayor
Anzeele, who expressed the admira-
tion of the citizens for the kings at
titude during the war.
