Military Genius Directing the
Poles Said to Be Son Of King
Leopold of Belgium.
CHIEF AID TO MARSHAL FoCA
Influence Of Former Belgian King
Raised Weyoand From an Obscure
= Boy to High Position In
French Military Circles.

Brussels.-Gen. Maxine Weygand,
the military genius who directed the
Poles in their spectacular victory over
the Russians. and who Is now general
ay credited with large share of Mar
shal Foch's achievements in the
World war. Is son of the late King
Leopold, Of Belgium, according to per-
sons who are intimately acquainted
with Belgian court circles and the Sc
crets thereof.
RumOrs In Paris and Brussels re-
garding the paternity of the famous
soldier were run down today with
the following result:
1t was former King Leopold's in
fiuence that raised Weygand from an
obscure boy Of unknown parentage to
such a high position in French mill
tary circles that he was chosen chief
of staff to Marshal Foch, commander
in chief Of the greatest army the world
has ever seen.
General Weygand was born In Brus-
sells In 1866. The names of his father
and mother are not contained in the
birth records, nor is the place of his
birth given. He was first heard of
under the care of rich Brussels man.
ufacturer who was a close friend of
the former Belgian king.
Regarded az Orphan.
Young Weygand was then said to be
an orphan. When he was eight years
old he was adopted by a French fam
lily Of the name Of Weygand. The
head of the family was employed by
the Belgian manufacturer. The fam
lily was poor, but money was supplied
to give the boy an excellent education.
This aroused comment among the
neighbOrs and gave rise to the query !:
''Who Is furnishing the large sums to
send the orphan to high-priced
school?"
The adopted boy received the name
of his foster parents. Young Wey-
gand, who was brilliant in his studies,
showed a preference for military af-
fairs. The friends and neighbors of
the Weygand family were astonished
when the youth entered the famous
French military academy at st. Cyr.
He was admitted as u foreigner. al
