RflNGA REPORTER; QUEEN CAN COOK Albert and Elizabeth of Belgium Are a Practical Pair ^ HEROIC SERVICE ) RENDERED IN WAR t King Shared Hardships of His Soldiers?Queen Nursed Wounded. Albert I., King of the Belgians, the only newspaper reporter who ever became a monarch, is 44 years old and is one. of the most picturesque figures of the Great War. The king took a post graduate 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 every thing possible regarding ocean carriers with the expectation at some, future time of putting Belgium high in the class of maritime powers. Several years previously, it 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. Succeeding to the crown on December 28, 1909, Albert I endeared himself to the 7,500,000 people of his little kingdom. The. abuses of the Congo, which had brought upon the head of his aged uncle Leopold the condemnation of the civilized world, were abolished and the king and his beautiful consort faced the prospect of a long and happy reign in a country where "tramps," idlers and soup houses are unknown." Then came the war. The king of the Belirians micht havn violdod rind ps -caped much of the hardship and suffering that was the lot of himself, and his people for more than four years. Belgium huge sums for the privilege of crossing her soil to attack France., the gallant king rallied his army of 350,000 men and placed himself at their head to fight the invader. When the German armies violated at Vise, the neutrality of the little nation they were pledged to protect, they met with the most stubborn resistance from the valiant but numerically inferior Belgians at the forts of Liege and Namur. During the great conflict of King Albert spared himself none of the rigors of the soldier. Often he expose 1 himself to shell fire and aviators' bombs burst about him. Once a German shell tore off the wheel of the automobile in which he was riding. At another time a chauffeur who bad been promised $200,000 to deliver the king to the ononv, was shot dead as he endeavored to drive the royal car into the German lines. Hardly a day passed that he was not in jeopardy o1 his life and futile c.fforts were made by his ministers to induce him not to expose himself. "My skin is of no more value that yours," he told his heartsick soldiers on their retreat from Antwerp. "Mj place is on the firing line!" Mother a Hohenzollern. Although his mother was a Hohen zollern princess and his wife a Ba varian princess, and although in hi youth ho had been educated in Ger many, he maintained an independenc of character that irritated the forme emperor of Germany. The lattci among- othor honors before the wai conferred upon Albert I the title o honorary colonel of the Mecklcnbur regiment, an act which the Belgi'i press construed as an of fort of th German ruler to gain an influenc over the young king. An indication of Albert's spirit cam when Belgium was invaded. In tal ing command of his troops on Augus f>, 1914, he said: "A neighbor, haugl ty in its strength, without the sligh est provocation, has torn up a treat bearing its signature and has violate the territory of oiu fauic*i? becau: we refused to forfeit* our honor, has attacked us. Seeing its indcpei ence threatened, the nation tremble and its children sprang to the fro tier, valiant soldiers in a sacred caus J have confidence in your tenaciot fl,~ \ vui , x in tuc iuuii j ' Belgium, a fellow citizen, who proud of you." One year after Belgium's heroic ? distance to the German flood, t! people of Pans, in gratitude, to ar affection for, King Albeit present to him a gift sword of Saintc?]?tirn? steel, the. de.-ign c.f which, war wroug by ihe cu'ptor, Fetu. Up: n the blr I ?p? ornamented with panoplies of steel upon gold, was a tribute written by Jean Richopin. ** "No thoroughfare/' is the inscription upon the guard at the foot of the hilt in the form of a statuette, in mas sive gold, representing a young athlete* upon the defensive, brandishing a club. On Friday, November 15, 1918, after years of bitter privations, Kirg Albert returned with his victorious tniops to his devastated but beloved ca^i^al amid the loud acclaim of the '.r Queen Elizabeth. Queen Elizabeth, who was married to King Albert in 1900, as the Duchess Elizabeth of Bavaria, was described at the time as "a strikingly handsome. woman." The marriage was quite generally supposed to have been | a genuine love match. Three children have been born to them, their heir apparent, Prince Leopold, Duke of Brab ant, was born November 3, 1901; a second son, Prince Charles Theodore, born in 1903; and a daughter, the Princess Marie Jose, born in 1900. The queen is highly educated and fond of music, literature and art. iviusic is said to be a passion with her and she is an accomplished violinist. She also plays the piano and mando: lin with much ability. It is said that she has a marked preference for the old repertoire but confesses to adominating Wagner. Some years ago she developed talent as a dramatist and in 190(i wrote. "Rosamond," a play which was produced in Brussels in i I March of that year and caused a de- j jcided stir in the Belgian capital. She 1 is also a skilled horsewoman. During the war the queen nurse 1 , J many wounded soldiers. A daughter j j of Duke Charles Theodore of Bavai ria, a renowned oculist, she began the. study of medicine herself at the age J ol sixteen and took her dc.gree of M. |D. at Leipzig just before her mar! l ia.ge. Exceedingly fond of horses and j dogs the queen, before the war freiquently attended the weekly inspection of the royal stables at Lac.ken, when the hundred or more animals were attended by court veterinarians nrwl .rnvn + Vw niAcf nvnorinnnAfl 14IIM V/ 1 VV.I t V V V * 1 V 1 IIIVOV VA|/V-I IVIIVV.I | attendants instructions as to proper treatment. Havana griffons are her favorite dogs and two of them usually stand guard in the royal drawing room. Queen Elizabeth's charity is said by the Belgians to be literally unbounded. Many a poor, struggling artist at the opera in Brussels is said to jhave benefitted from her generosity I without being aware of the fact, for hor gifts are usually made anonymously. An instance of the queen's kindheartedness is related by the townfolk of Laekcn. One cold, rainy morn ing before the war, the queen was driving along the Avenue de la Reine, when she saw a poor old woman, scantily clad, walking along.. The queen got out of her car, stepped over to the woman and askc?d her if she was not cold. Receiving an af! firmative reply Elizabeth took off her own waterproof and placed it over the old woman's back. Then, taking out her purse, she gave her several gold coins, and took her address so that she might continue here benevo| lence. Many incidents of this type have long since endeared the queen to the people of Belgium. A (First Class Cook. Intensely practical, Queen Elizabeth i has sought to educate her peoples in domestic economy and other . useful > arts. She founded a training school * for cooks in Brussels on the lines of a university, with a three years' course and an honor class. Liberal prizes were offered by the queen to - the students who invented new dislikes. The. students were from all class es of society, working girls, sccial - butterflies and intellectuals. e The queen is an expert cock herr self and frequently called at the t'? school to advise the teachers and .... _ .. . r, watcn tno progress ol the students, f Anions her numerous charities, not g the least is the.
