‘York's financial EMBRYO U.S. KINGS ~ASAREAL'HE MAN And Albert Likes the American ' Kids, Too, as Proved in Central Park, A New York policeman detailed to guard the royal family of Belgium was asked to-day what he thought of King Albert. ‘The cop replied: “I think he’s a regular HE man. I'll say he IS!” “Any particular thing give you that impression?” “Yep,” he replied. “It was the hit he made with them kids up in Central Park. When you see a bunch of kids take to a feller the way them kids took to King Albert, you can bet the family plate that he's a HE man.” At the Waldorf last night, after a day packed with thrills and riotous reception, the King was asked what particular feature of the eventful day had impressed him most. ‘The member of his suite who asked the question admitted later that he expected to hear that it was the ride rom the Battery up through New grand canyon— storm swept with confett! and shrouded tn an amazing spectacle of tangled ticker tape That ride from Pier A to City Hall did visibly impress the royal party. But this unforgettable scene was not uppermost in the King’s mind last night. THE 30,000 NEW YORK SCHOOL CHILDREN IMPRESSED HIM. To the King of the Belgians the predominating feature of the whole day was the reception—a greeting that had the true ring of spontaneity given him by 30,000 school children in Centra, Park. It the King, the cop said, made @ hit with the kids, the kids won @ place in the heart of Albert that will never need the protection of a League of Nations. Those children, black and white, representing practically the mations of the world, had been groomed to meet royalty. Some were a bit ragged, others were garbed in juvenile finery—but they were all washed and brushed spotiess for this gilded occasion, And they stood in prim rows, at first frightened considerably in the pres- eneé of a real king and queen, So they stood in orderly and formal squadrons that seemed hardly to breathe while King Albert addressed them from the wooden platform. The teachers themselves seemec to think at firet that the best thing they could do under such entirely extraordinary, cireumstances was to assume a sort of a West-Pointer-at-attention at- titude. They were as prim and rigid wd probably uncomfortable as the “aildren. It would probably have been a very anoomfortably formal party for all wands if King Albert himself hadn't groken the spell by a singe move. AHILDREN LEARN THAT KINGS ARE MERE MEN. @ children and teachers were breathing at all during the brief Period that King Albert, Queen Eliza- beth afd Prince Leopold looked down upon them from the platform they became rigid rows of inanimate statuary when the royal guests and thelr suite came right down on the same grass that they were standing on and approached within an arm's length of them. It was a tense moment for the kids. Then the Kink chucked Samuel Martin, aged eleven, ui re uviic school No. 67, under the chin and smiled as enly Albert can. “What's your name, young man?” the King of the Belgians asked. Sammy looked at first as though he was going to cry. Then he siarted to laugh, caught himgelf, guiped, dropped his hat, started to pick it up but thought better of it and finally snapped back to attention and whis- pered “Wel-wel-welcome t-t-lo our cit-city,’ It was @ moment that will probably remain indelibly sueeriDea = UB Sammy’s young soul, and it ought to, because King Albert did not cry “Urf With bis bead!” as Sammy undoubt- edly expected him to. He merely placed his hand affectionately on Sammy's youthful shoulder and said: "You are a fine boy.” hen the monarch passed on and Sammy's horrible embarrassment cooled rapid- lyly and he turned to the boy nearest to him and remarked, “Why, be's just @ man after ali, ain't he?" ‘That incident served to shatter the upbending formality of the occasion, it evaporated undor King Albert's winning smile, and children and teachers beyan to breathe aguin, ‘heir last lingering doubts about the king filtered away when they saw ‘A. 8. Prall of the Msoard of Education introduce His Highness to pretty) Miss Matilda De Mulder, twelve years vld, of No, 783 10th Avenue, They watched Matilda closely to see whether she would crack under the strain. Matilda was flustered. She seemed to want to say something, but her breath seemed gone from her, | her tongue felt like lead in her mouth | and there was an uncanny weakness | in the vicinity of the knees, Then she looked straight into the King’s eyes and caught that smile. He took her little hand in his and patted it, “I understand you were born in my country,” said Albert of Blegium in nothing like the tone that she had imagined real kings were wont to talk. Matilda felt herself suddenly at came, "Yes," she sald, “my father and mother and brothers and sisters were | born there.” | “You don't look like @ little Bel- an girl now,” the King remarked, | “Pm an American girl now,” re- plied Matilda quite decisively, | Malilda w ad owhat) she thought of King Albert. | fe isn’t like a King at all,” ane} peplied. “He's just lovely!” ore SAD YOM KIPPUR LIKE BELGIAN KING {AMERICAN JEWRY'S DAY OF ATONEMENT Never Have the Sufferings of Ancient Race Been More Acute Than Now. Always the most significant and most widely/ observed of the Jewish f religious days, Yum Kippur carries |) to-day deeper and more solemn meaning than ever before. Yom Kippur ts the great Jewish Day of Atonement. ‘To its sanctity as the most important of the fast days there this year is added a double significance in that the cal- endar has brought Yom Kippur on the Sabbath, It is perhaps the most tragic day of atonement in the history of Jewry. From their home in Palestine, from the shores of tho Ltultic and the Black { Seas, from Polant and the frozen wastes of Siberia—from every for- eign land into which Jowish relief workers have penetrated, the new year message that comes to this country is evér the same, “European Jewry is perishing.” America is the only land, the Amer- ican Jewish Relict Committee says, in which the new month of Tishri, the Hebraic January, brings any joy to the Jewish population, ‘The Jews in the war-racked coun- tries abroad have suffered more than any other people, and they are dying by thousands of starvation and dis- ease. The Yom Kippur fast, during the twenty-four hours when no good Jew will allow food to pass his lips, will be little more than @ continuation of the five-year fast that has been the lots of the 6,000,000 Jews in Europe. Orphaned children and widows are continually being turned away from the overcrowded charitable institutions and food sta- tions to die in the streets of Poland and nearby countries, The only hope that the great mass of Jewry will survive the coming winter depends upon America. The fortnight between Rosh Ha- sbonah and Yom Kippur is observed as a period of repentance, during which the Divine Judge weighs the earthly deeds against each individual before entering his final fate in the Book of Judgment. This year it is a Period of deep sorrow as well for many American Jews. The records of Jewish relief agen- cles in New York show that several hundred thousands have tried with- out avail to trace their dear ones abroad who have been swallowed up in the, chaos of war when communi- cation were broken. These people are at a loss whether to hope that their loved ones are dead or that it is their fate to face a new year of ter- rible suffering and sorrow. Another sad phase of this year's Yom Kippur will be the memorial wervice for the dead, when almost every Jewish family in the stricken countries, together with many in America, will mourn the loss of ope or more of thelr members. In view of the terrible eltuation abroad, Jews throughout the country have organized campaigns and drives to raise a total of $35,000,000 in the United States under the direction of the American Jewish Relief Commit- tee, the Central Relief Committee and the Jewish Peoples’ Relief Commit- tee which are appropriately culminat- ing in many States with the begin- ning of the Jewish new year. i MRS, FAILE LEFT $241,354.
