The heroic countess was twice dec
grated BY King Albert Of Belgium
Premier Poincare and General Pau
Of France each awarded her thcil
country's highest medals of honor
Twice she was rewarded for he,
valor by King George OF England
who also bestowed upon her the title
Of Lady Media.
About eight years ago Countess de
Merode came to the United States.
But even In this country the coun-
tess was not allowed to live in peace.
She was kidnapped twice by Rumanian
political conspirators. Once she was
carried to the Canadian border BY
her captors In their attempt to re-
turn her to Rumania In the hope that
she would eventually ascend to the
throne. She was rescued by Ameri-
can officials at the border. But on
the second attempt 1t was q signal
known only to medical officers over
seas that enabled her to 60 free.
After escaping from her kidnapcrs
the second time she met Charles Wa
terhouse In Los Angeles. A short
time afterward the couple were mar
ried and came to Phoenix to make
their home. Since then she had lived
here in obscurity. her past being kept
. secret from even her most init
mate friends.

Death Reveals Heroic War Record
of Woman Four Times Wounded

Phoenix, Ariz., March (NEA)-
Four times wounded in the World
War, and six times awarded war
medals of the highest honor in
recognition of her services, Countess
de Merode died here unknown and
penniless after being struck by boy
on a bicycle.
Countess de Merode, Marquisine Of
Rumania, q direct descendant Of the
deposed Queen Sofia and q member
Of the Belgian royal family by mar
riage, was known here as Mrs.
Charles e. Waterhouse by a recent
marriage to Los Angeles man. Not
even her closest friends knew Of her
real identity and heroic war record.
Both the countess and her young
husband, Count de Merode of Bel
gium. entered the World War at its
beginning. Count de Merode was
killed the first day he went into ac-
tion. The young widow put aside her
own sorrows and took command Of
field hospital near Ypres.
Twice the countess was gassed. She
sustained a broken back when her
hospital was bombed by the enemy.
In another hospital catastrophe one
side Of her face was blown away. This
was later restored by q plastic sur
geon so well that few were aware Of
her injury.

not legal.
A brief Of the case was filed by

was necessitated when Charles L.
and g. Liebert Crum were busy in
Fargo for several days last week In a
federal court case, they said today.
The Crum brief will be filed In q day
or two, however, they said.
The supreme court has been asked
TO make . decision on the legality Of
