BELGIAN KING IS OPTIMISTIC

King Albert Says Complete Victor) Will Come Soon. Paris, Oct. 25. —The success achieved by the allies in the recent fighting has l>een very great and will be pushed home to a complete victory, King Albert of Belgium declared to a correspondent of a Paris newspaper. “But.” he added, “we must not forgetthat the Tegs of our soldiers cannot move as quickly as our hearts. Certainly never for an hour do I cease to think of the day when I shall be able to enter Brussels and again hoist the Belgian flag there. But we are still 40 to 50 miles away from it and there is the Scheldt river to be crossed.”
