New York, Oct. king Albert
and Queen Elizabeth and Prince Leo
pold received noisy welcome to
New York when aroused at dawn to-
day by the firing of salutes as the

Albert l., King Of the Belgians, the
only newspaper reporter who ever be-
came a monarch, is A years old and
is one of the most picturesque figures
Of the Great War.
The King took a postgraduate
course in newspaper" training In
1908 when, somewhat like Peter the
Great, he visited the shipyards of
France, Great Britain, Italy, Germany
and Scandinavia, to learn everything
possible regarding ocean carriers
with the expectation at some future
time of putting Belgium high in the
class of maritime powers. Several
years previously, 1t Is said, when
merely the son of the Count of
Flanders, a nephew of King Leopold,
he came to the United States and
worked as a reporter on one or two
newspapers in the Northwest.

self to the 100000 people of his lit
tie kingdom. The abuses of the Con.
go, which had brought upon the head
of his aged uncle Leopold the con-
demnation of the civilized world,
were abolished and the King and his
beautiful consort faced the prospect
of a long and happy reign in coun.
try where 'tramps, idlers and soup
houses are unknown"
Then came the war. The King of
the Belgians might have yielded and
escaped much of the hardship and suf-
fering that was the lot Of himself and
his people for more than four years,
Needing not the specious promises of
the Germans to pay Belgium huge
sums for the privilege Of crossing her
soil to attack France, the gallant
King rallied his army of 100000 men
and placed himself at their head to
fight the invader. When the German
armies violated at Wise the neutrali.
ty of the little nation they were
pledged to protect, they met with the
most stubborn resistance from the
valiant but numerically inferior Bel
gians at the forts of Liege and Ma
muir.
During the great conflict King AL
bert spared himself none of the rigors
of the soldier. Often he exposed
himself to shell fire and aviators'
bombs burst about him. Once a
German shell tore of the wheel Of
the automobile in which he was rid

among other honors before the war
conferred upon Albert I, the title OF
honorary Colonel of the Mecklenbure
regiment an act which the Belgian
press construed as an effort Of the
German ruler to gain an influence
over the young King.
An indication of Albert's spirit
came when Belgium was invaded. In
taking command Of his troops on Aug
ust 6, 1914, he said: "A neighbor
naughty in its strength, without the
slightest provocation, has torn up q
