Of the Teuton armies through Belgian
territory for the invasion of France.
Never one word of reproach do they
utter against him for having refused
with indignation to come to an under
standing with the kaiser about the
matter, which would have averted
many Of the evils which have fallen
to their share. They are more proud
of their king than ever, and the fact
that they are now qui1ering under the
kaiser's heel has rendered them more
than ever devoted to the rule and per-
son of their own sovereign.
No monarch Is more deserving of
the admiration Of the American people
than Albert Of Belgium. Alone among
the occupants Of the thrones Of the
old world he insisted, prior to his ac-
cession to the crown, upon paying a
prolonged visit to the United States,
declaring that without 1t his education
would be incomplete. He held that
knowledge of this country and Of its
people was an indispensable equip
ment for the duties Of rulership and
that he would be better qualified to
serve his privileges as their king If
his training received an American fin
isfl.

fered from that Of all other royal and
imperial visitors in that 1t was In

ter paying his respects In due form to
the president at Washington he laid
aside his royal state, enveloped him.
self In the strictest Of incognitos and
then devoted himself to quiet and en-
tirely unobtrusive tour Of the entire
Union.
1t was the great Industrial centers
that excited his chief interest and In
which he made the longest stays. He
accorded more time and attention to
Pittsburgh than to Philadelphia, and to
Buffalo and Rochester than to New
York; to Lynn and to Worcester, Mass,
than to Boston, and to Providence than
to Newport, r. ]. At most Of the
places where he stayed the people re-
NAMED unaware Of his identity, re-
garding him as foreign engineer, for
he has strong bent toward every kind
of engineering.
His experiences in America, extend
ing over period Of nearly twelve
months, seem to have opened his eyes
to the advantages Of Journalism. For
after his return home he commenced
to write under an assumed name for
weekly papers and monthly publica-
tons devoted to Industrial and mari
time engineering.
Eventually he secured from one Of
these weekly newspapers card made
out In the name which he had taken
as member of its staff. In the ca
pacity of its representative and report
er he thereupon visited all the princi-
pal shipbuilding and marine engineer
ing concerns in Great Britain, France,
Italy and Germany, travelling alone and
exciting some interest by reason Of
his possession Of technical knowledge
unusual in the ordinary newspaper
man, though no one seems to have sus-
pected him of being prince of the

until some years afterward that theft
authorship was revealed.
Shortly before Albert's succession to
the throne he made a prolonged tour
in Africa characterized by the same
simplicity and unobtruslveness that
had marked his sojourn In the United
States. He entered the dark CONT
nent at Cape Town and then made his
way by rail, by boat and by caravan
to Lake Tanganyika and thence
through the former Congo free state.

ency, down the Congo river to its
mouth on the Atlantic coast.
Ended Abuses in the Congo.
His visit to Congoland was Of In
calculable value to Belgium. For aside
from the encouragement which he was
able to give to lonely servants Of the
Belgian crown working for their SOW
ereign in spots wholly remote from CIV
ilization and often under the most dis
couraging circumstances he was able
to rectify and put an end to thousands
of abuses and to initiate all sorts OF
reforms.
Another thing In King Albert which
appeals strongly to his people and to
their friends and sympathizers here In
America has been the singularly blame
less nature Of his private life, which
has remained both prior to his mar
rage and ever since untouched by any
breath Of scandal. The Belgians had
suffered from the shortcomings in this
respect of their first king and also of
his eldest son and successor, the late
King Leopold III, whose indiscretions
were so fragrant and notorious as to
become a source of shame and of NOR
tification to his subjects. King Al
bert's life, like that Of his parents,
the late count and countess of Flan-
ders, has been entirely above reproach
and an example to his people. He owes
this largely to the training Of his clev-
err mother, who, although daughter
Of the Roman Catholic and nonreign-
ing branch of the house Of Hohenzol-
lern, had a strong strain of French
blood in her veins through her grand
mother, the grand duchess of Baden.
His Marriage Love Match.
King Albert's irreproachable life Is
also due to his wife, Queen Elizabeth.
Royal marriages as rule are the re-
suit of arrangements, information
al policy and diplomatic negotia-
ton. His was love match pure and
simple and such it has remained ever
since, the trials, the sorrows, the hard
ships and the dangers which they have
shared in common during the last four
years having served to bring them even
more closely together.
The queen is a daughter Of that
Duke Charles Theodore of Bavaria
who acquired celebrity as an oculist
and who devoted his entire life to ad,
ministering to the poor free of cost,
rescuing many thousands from blind
ness. But Queen Elizabeth, like King
Albert, has closed her doors forever
to her German relatives and cut herself
entirely adrift from them not only for
the duration Of the war but for all
time. For neither one nor the other
Of this royal couple can ever forget or
forgive what their loyal people have
suffered at German hands since July,
1914.

Gently and many hearts went
u u out to that little corner of
Belgian territory to which
ne withdrew with the remnants os
his gallant army close upon four years
ago. converting 1t into an impregnable
stronghold, from which the Germans
have sought in vain to drive him.
He might have Joined his ministers
In the French seaport of Havre. where
the seat Of the Belgian government
has been established since the Ger
mans took possession first Of Brussels
and then Of Antwerp. Or he could
have followed the example Of King
Nicholas Of Montenegro and taken up
his residence in Paris, where he is an
object Of popular admiration by rea-
son of the heroic resistance which he
offered to the German armies when the
kaiser invaded France via Belgium.
But he chose to stay with his. army.
The odds that confronted King AL
bert when the Germans undertook to
traverse his territory into France were
overwhelming He bravely faced
them and 1t was the unexpected OBJ
stacles which the Germans encounter
ed In Belgium, especially at Liege,
that delayed their advance sufficiently
to give time to the French and Eng
lish to prepare for their reception and
to stem the Hun drive upon Calais and
Paris.
Had 1t not been for the fight put up
by King Albert in the early days of the
war there is no doubt that the kaiser
would have accomplished his design
of reaching Paris and Calais before the
end of August, 1914. Under the cir
cumstances 1t is no exaggeration to
assert. that Paris owes her safety in
the present war and her immunity
from siege and possible capture to
King Albert, without whose resistance
in Belgium in the beginning Of August
there would have been no battle of
the Marine in September. That is why
the Parisians have particularly warm
place in their hearts for King Albert.
Welcome though he would be among
them, he has preferred to remain
among his troops In that little corner
of Belgian seacoast territory where he
has made his home with his admira-

What the sufferings of the people

subject to Teuton thraldom is known
here in the new world. Not a week

famine and pillage, forced labor and
indescribable tortures have been the

And yet, In the very lowest depths Of
their unutterable despair, they still
