A King And His Knight Will
Meet When The Tri-Cities
Receive Albert of Belgium

The days of knighthood are not
past. Though jousts OF arms, en-
blazoned shields and prancing
chargers are now but the, pictur-
esque romances Of medieval his
tory, the spirit of chivalry. which
finds expression in aItruistic en-
deavor, still goes on, and is recog-
nized as one of the moving forces
Of the universe.
One of the men who will most
warmly greet and be greeted by
King Albert of Belgium when he
visits this community on Saturday.
Oct. IL, is Edward Coryn of Mo-
line, upon whom the king has con-
ferred one of the highest honors
within his power to grant-the
knighthood of the Order of Leo
pold-in recognition of his remark
able years of achievement in be-
half of observation-disclosures.
1t was after Mr. Coryn had been
influential in founding three great
organizations of Belgiums IN this
community. besides having render
ed material aid in many ways to
those who came here from his ma
tive country. that the signal honor
came to him. His services were
recognized by the Belgian repre-
sentative in Washington, who rec
commended him to King Albert as
worthy to receive the cross Of the
order.
The ceremony which made him
knight was held in Moline at a
banquet in his honor. at which
were present Belgian consuls and
celebrities from all parts of the
country Mr.. Coryn has, besides
the medal of knighthood, which is
a cross bearing the Belgian coat
of arms, papers signed in King AL
bert's own hand.
There are now a number in this
country who carry the honor Of tia
knighthood of the Order of Leo
pold, which is a recognition OF
some unusual favor performed for
the Belgian government The or
Leopold I and has been recogniz-
ed by the kings of the Belgians
ever since as the highest honor
within their power to pay.
Mr.. Coryn was born in Belgium,
in the village of Lootenhulle, East
Flanders. He came here in 1881.
and has been one of the leaders in
the community and a director in
Belgian-American activities.
He founded the Belgian Work
mems union in this community in
1892 and the BeIgian-American
club in 1908. OF these two he is
still the first president. Later he
organized the Belgian-American
National alliance, of which he was
president.
