STORY OF A KING Western war sone there appears 7 Press ve ia Farle. The war respondent from each of seven by ‘meutral military aitaches and cecorted by *, Wm. G. Shepherd, one es coe, as fromt, but never officially, and compelled to return to Paris. By Wm. Philip Sims HAZEBROUCK, France, Oct. 20—(By mail to New York.)—In a little village, just across the frontier from here, I saw today, walking through the drizzle, the man who probably will come out of this war with the most lasting reputation of any one engaged in it—King Albert of Belgium. His long, rather English face, wore the expression of one who had suffered a great deal and who was ennobled by his suffering. I have seen many pictures of Christ on the Cross, some done by masters, and in each I have seen about the eyes an effort at just the expression I caught in the eyes of the Bel- gian king. There is something of patience in it, something of pity, much suffering, but nothing mean. Yet war has left {ts stamp upon his strangely melancholy face, and there is something paradoxical about {t, something which belies the gentle patience one sees in the eyes. One reads determination, proud resentment and absence of fear. He Is Popular Because He Is Known King Albert {s the most popular officer in the army. devotion to him the blind devotion to a mysterious cerning whom the common people know little, Albert is loved rather because he Js known than because he is not. With the soldiers he is most democratic. He does not wait for his to come to him: he goes to them, He tries to understand them. He !s constantly among them, un- escorted, dressed in the plainest of uniforms and addressing his com- monest private as a comrade rather than as a subject, “One day,” a grenadier told me, pride in his voice, “we were sit- ting by the roadside eating our first meal of the day, which happened to be dinner. We had been holding the Germans in check all day and were tired and hungry. All we had to eat was very dry bread. 7,9 king rode up alone, and when he saw what we were eating, tears came into his eyes. Y poor comrades,’ he said, ‘just dry bread?’ “Tt tastes mighty good to us,’ said the soldier next to me. Shakes Hands With Grenadier Yes,’ replied the king, ‘there are worse things to eat than dry bread, eaten for honor's sake.’ “What he said and the way he said it sounded like something from the Bible. Nobody spoke a word. Nobody shouted ‘Long live the king,’ or anything like that, But the man who had said dry bread tasted good walked up to the king and held out his hand, The king took it quickly and shook it hard. The man fell back, wiping his eyes. “Then the whole group crowded about and shook the king's hand. He seemed happier as he rode away. Belgium cannot die as long as she has men like you,’ he said, “Nor while she has @ king like you,’ everybody shouted, “Then we all cried, ‘Vive le roi!'” Visits Cafes Alone to Watch Officers This ts typical of what one hears, mingling with the Belgian sol- diers. I understand the king has shown disfavor to more than one officer for lack of interest in the soldiers, In Antwerp, the men told me, he often visited cafes alone and sent to their quarters officers he found drinking in them, Poor, tried and suffering Belgium!
