any space in the press or to engage the
attention Of statesmen.
He travelled widely and discussed in
ternational affairs with we'll informed
men. He foresaw the violation of Bel
gian soil, having become Convinced Of
the growing spirit of aggression on the
part Of the German military leaders
In the Serajevo tragedy he saw only
pretext, not cause, for the war, and
nc disclosed to an interviewer that, in
November, 1912, the Belgian Parlia-
ment at his suggestion had dis
cussed secretly precautionary measures
against German aggression.
From the moment Of the invasion
there was no doubt in the minds Of
those who were in his confidence that
he would assert the sovereignty and
sclf-determination of Belgium.
Even before the occupation of Ant
werp and Brussels he was deeply
affected by the thought of the despolia-
ton OF his country. But he never lost
hope and he said with Cardinal Mer-
cier. "God is saving the Belgian pco-
pie" When the news of the heroic re-
sistance of Liege and Namur was con-
tirmed he said there was no further
doubt of his country's greatness To
an interviewer he said: at has been
decreed 100 years after Waterloo that
Belgium shall once more become the
battlefield of nations. 1t has been de-
creed that millions of soldiers shall
ravage her territory, sack her villages
and destroy her cities. What will re-
main of Belgium's thriving industries,
OF her commerce so laboriously built
up? Brussels and Li6ge and Na,nur
are in the power of the enemy:
Malines, Louvain and Acrschot are de-
stroycd; the whole Of this territory is
given over to plumber What will re-
main of my sorely tried country, and
what further extremes will these bar
barians be guilty Of, maddened by the
stubborn resistance of our gallant
army? When victory finally decides in
our favor what wreckage will have
accumulated If the Germans were to
continue their deprcdations for few
more months this country would be
desert"

Until the prince assembled the throne
and until his own heir was born the
fate Ct the dynasty was considered in
doubt
In the first place, there were posi-
blitles Of strange complications be-
cause Of the old Kings domestic en-
tanglements. Soon after the death Of
Leopold it was stated that his natural
son would lay claim to the throne. But
Prince Albert's title was not ques-
toned. Had the Prince died before his
accession King Leopold would have
had the right to nominate any one Of
the Catholic princes OF Europe as heir
apparent. But his nomination would
have been subject to confirmation by
the Chambers CT the Legislature.
After the death of Prince Baldwin,
when it WIS realized that Albert was
heir apparent, his parents altered their
plans for his education. He was being
trained for the lie OF Flanders
prince But it became necessary to
train him for the sccptrc. Iiis ontou-
rage Immediately insisted that more
stress be LAID upon his mastery Of
Flemish than upon the classic tongucs
Ore-haif the Belgian population uses
Flemish almost exclusively.
King Leopold, when he greeted Al
bert as heir apparent, said: "My dear
nephew, you have taken in your hands
the illustrious colors Of the fatherand.
As long as YOU live dont forget the
flag It may be said of the young
King that he has kept the faith.

The forces in North Russia had
no transport of their own. Civilian

ing statccraft at the same time, aud the
iinessc Of international relationships
and the thousand and one other and
seemingly less important yet consc-
quential, things that pcrtained to his
office. The sponsibilities weighed
heavily upon him. So he confided to
Marshal Joffre one day, telling him
so in these words: ~ listened to the
generals, and it seemed such great re-
sponsibillty to decide among them that
| just at last picked out what seemed
the plans of common sense"
And this was the Marshal's rejoinder:
"You did well. Each general, because
he is a specialist and knows the great
strategic schools by heart, is tempted
to be partisan of this one or that. His
ideas Of the defence of-s~Bclgium arc
made up in advance, and unwittingly
he might try to force events to fit them
as has happened to the German Gen
eral Staff. The high arbiter should not
be partisan Of any school or prccon-
coiVod campaign. That is Why civilians
often make good ministers OF war"

fsI,sshes

The words of JotTre were received by
the king-with bushes Such is the
modesty Of the man. But because he
had been called the "high arbiter" he
did not forget that his duty lay with
The common soldiers. To the end he
continued, sharing their every hard
ship. He worked eighteen hours day
without rest and his sleep Was taken
on the cushions of MS automobile
when that was possible. After Neu-
port-Dixmude he was so tired that he
fell and slept by the edge of n road
His troops passed by in silence, and
let him sleep.
The common people of Belgium
hailed him as great hero. SO long as
he lived the spirit Of Belgium would
live, they said among themselves; but
he took such great risks they were in
constant dread Yet it was not only
among the common people that ne was
idoi2ed. This was Maeterlincll's trib-
ute: The young and great King of my
little country, He was truly the provi-
waiting. He embodied in beauty the
deep viii of his people. Suddenly he
was al Belgium revealed to herself
and to others. He had the great luck
to take and give confidence in the
most tragic moment, when the stoutcst
consciences may momcntarily lose
courage. Had he not been there things
would, doubtless, not have happened
in the same manner and history might
have lost ono Of her noblest pages.
Surely Belgium would have been
faithful to her ncutrality--as Switzer-
land would be today but Switzerland
is warned, prepared and guarding her
frontier, while Belgium was taken
