extensive travels, participation as
member of the Senate in national poll

was regarded with general favor as an
earnest student, unqueStionably de-
voted TO the welfare of his country, al
though the Socialists at this time did
not hesitate TO attack monarchical in
Stituticns with vigor and bitterness.
On the question of foreign affairs he
was approached by the Kaiser iE No

seems to have eXerted enormous. hut
unavailinS pressure upon him in the
hope OF persuading him to permit the
eventual violation of Belgian neu-
trality by Germany. 1t was largely
because of his dett rmina:ion that Bel
GUM must abide by her promise to
absolute neutrality that the country
played the heroic part known to the
world In the summer Of 1914. Since
then the fortitude and patience with
which he has directed the efforts OF
the small Belgian army to win back
their territory has won for Albert the
admiration OF the world and made him
the idol of his people.
