BELGIAN ROYAL FAMILY
RE-ENTERS CAPITAL CITY
TREMENDOUS OVATION ON
BRUSSELS STREETS.
Prophecy Fulfilled-Flowers
Strewn in Path Of King
Albert.

Brussels, Friday, Nov. 22.--(A. P)
king Albert entered Brussels this
morning at 10:30 o'clock. He was
accompanied by Queen Elizabeth,
Princes Leopold and Charles and
Princess Marie Jose.
The royal party entered at the
Porte de Flanders and proceeded TO
the Place de La Nation, receiving a
tremendous ovation along the streets.
Entering the parliament house, King
Albert and his family listened to an
address of welcome. Then followed
n review of allied troops which
formed line ten miles long.
Flowers were thrown in the path
OF King Albert as the procession
made it's way along boulevards lined
for miles with dense throngs.
AS this dispatch is being written,
the noise OF cheering rolls continu-
ously like thunder across the city.
King Albert and his two sons were
on horseback. The crown prince
was on his right and was dressed in
khaki, while his younger brother
was dressed in the uniform of q mid :
shipman.
The city is wearing its gala dress
and the influx of thousands during
recent days has made 1t impossible
for all to obtain lodgings. Many are
sleeping in public halls and shelters.
The 'return of King Albert to his
capital recalls the kings prophecy in
an interview with the Associated
Press only a few months after the
Belgians. having checked the first
rush of the Germans, had been driven
from their country. In the dispatch
reporting this interview, given on
Dec. 20, 1914, at the kings headquar-
ters in West Flanders, the following
passage occurred:
"Your majesty, 1t. has been pre-
dicted that you will re-enter your
capital within three months" the
correspondent said.
The king shook his head sadly.
saying:
mot so soon, but some day shall
ride into Brussels at the head OF the
Belgian army"

companied by battalions of French,
American and British troops, with
artillery. This procession was far

PLIGHT TRULY PlTIABLE

London, Nov. 23.-(A. P)-Pitiable
conitions among British prisoners
liberated by the Germans since the
signing Of the armistice are described
by Reuters correspondent at French
headquarters. Thousands of these
men, mostly British. are entering
France daily. The correspondent
writes:
II have never seen human beings $
In such state of raggedness, hum
ger and misery. When the camp at
Forbach, thirty eight miles east OF
Metz, as we'll as those elsewhere
were broken up, the prisoners, most
of whom were captured during che
March offensive, were told to clear
out and seek help from their allies.
They started to walk the fifty or
sixty miles to the allied lines, but
were given no food and had no
money. They were in shameful rags,
the soles dropping Off their boots.
Some wore clogs and no socks.
"They left the prison camps in
droves of hundreds in charge OF Ger
man officers and soldiers who had
deserted. The weather was very cold
and many died by the roadside with
In few miles from friends. When
the survivors entered the French
lines French soldiers who were hard
ened war heroes, were Mortified to
see men in such a plight. II Is not
doubted that this suffering was in
tentionally imposed upon the British
and prisoners Of other pationalities
are agreed that the British were
treated worse than the others at all
German camps"
Details Narrowing.
A further report Of Sir Robert
Younger's committee dealing with
the treatment Of British prisoners in
the coal and salt mines OF Germany.

treatment by the Germans. This re-
|--lGUruess atsslimonyA scarcely 3. .uaOnth
old It fs evident that there 10 no sign
OF improvement whatever in the
treatment of prisoners In Germany.
This disgrace is open and fragrant
and the only possible inference Is
that Berlin deliberately approves of
1t. There is no doubt that work in
the mines is inflicted as punishment.
Here is an abstract from a letter
dated May 20 last from a British pri-
vate soldier:
eve have had little to eat since
we left Hameln. Two of our number
have gone to the hospital with brok-
en- arms and the remainder are suf-
fering from cuts on their heads and
bruises as the result Of foggings they
received at the last place. II you
could only see the boys here, they
all look like dead men. They are
worked to DEATH"
The record Of daily promlscuous
violence might be much further IL
lustrated. To scores of men who
have given evidence concerning the
mining camps. kicks. blows and In
suits became a part OF the normal
routine.
