Tender Mother To Her Stricken PEOPLE Is
Elizabeth Of Belgium, Says C0mtesSe DUrsel

NEW YORK, Oct. 7.-"Sitting be-
side the cot of a tiny, undernourished
frightened little child, holding her
hand, while she gently drew from the
baby the story of it's miserable life
through the German occupation, is
the last picture L hold in my minds
eye of the Queen of Belgium"
1t was the Comtesse Louise d'Ursel,
lady-in-waiting to her majesty, Queen
Elizabeth of Belgium, who gave this
picture of Belgium's "mother-queen"
as her people a~ffectionately know
her.
The young comtesse, who Is now
visiting this country, is a member of
one of Belgium's oldest families of
nobility. She holds the position of
honorary attendant 10 her majesty, a
ance at oourt on state occasions be-
fore the great war came and abolish
ed all state functions.
Loves Children.
During the war, the comtesse had
occasion frequently to meet the queen
In hispital work. And when the arm
istice was signed, the queen devoted
herself to the children Of Belgium
who had suffered from the German
occupation.
For some time" said the comtesse,
IT have been helping with the child
ren's country home established about
forty miles from Brussels. The chill
dren of Belgium, who lived through
the miseries of German occupation,
are being restored to health hun
dreds of them. A few months ago
the queen came to visit us. Before
she left she must have known the
tragic story of every child. The chill
dren loved her, and would talk with
her fearlessly."
Belgium's queen was a mother"
to the wounded Belgian soldiers. too,
according to the comtesse.
Nursed Her Soldiers.
"On a visit to the queen at La Pam
ne early in 1915" said the comtesse,
'her majesty told me Of her grief at
the great loss of life. For her w
personal safety she gave no thought.
What a general is to his army, the
queen was to her people in those dark
hours. She personally cared for hun
dreds of wounded soldiers at La Pan
ne.
1T have heard hundreds of dis
charged soldiers refer to the queens
nursing. She was the best nurse we
ever had they would say. During
the first days of the war, the queen
Immediately fitted up a wing of the
palace for the wounded Belgian SOL
diers, and all during the war, many
sick and wounded Belgians were cared
for there.
A Great Woman.
1.-THE quaep's interest in her people
is q real one. She has a great ma
ture, for no woman who had been del
icately reared, as her majesty had
been, could have stood the trials OF
war-could have seen her people per
ishing, their homes and hearts brok-
en-, with every day death visiting her
hospital-all this human misery. she
could not have withstood II she had
not been a woman of the very finest
texture of character.
1.-THE queen is intensely interested
in all the plans for the reconstruction
of Belgium" continued the comtesse.
"She is not a woman QS many words.
but all who know her-are impressed
with her extreme modesty and rare
good commo sense. As long as Bel
GUM shall exist. the name of Queer
| Elizabeth will be spoken of with ad-
| miration. She was the little Mother
of the Belgian people through the
war"

wolves upon you a duty to our country
