N N out to that little corner OF
Belgian territory to which
he withdrew with the remnants of
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
ftraverse his territory into France were
overwhelming. He bravely faced
them, and it 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
fish to prepare for their reception and
ITO stem the Hun drive upon Calais and
Paris.
Had it 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,
lcumStances it 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
lin Belgium in the beginning of August
there would have been no battle of
the Marine in September. That is why
the Parisians have a particularly warm
iplace in their hearts for King Albert.
Welcome though he would be among
them, he has preferred to remain

Jealousy at best is but
chronic case of self-love.
A shady character doesn't al

During the courtship love
