BELGIAN KING WAS REPORTER ON U. S. PAPERS

Albert Worked Also as Shipyard Man Queen is Cook, and Both Are Beloved. (By Associated Press) NEW YORK. Oct. 2. 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 190S when, somewhat like Peter the Great, he visited the shipyards of France, Great Britain, Italy, Germany and Scandinvi, to learn everything 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 23, 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 Ms aged uncle 1-eopold, 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." Faced Huns Undauntedly. Then came the war. The King of the Belgians might have yielded and escaped much of the hardship and suffering that was the lot of himself and his people for more than four years. Heeding not the specious promises of the Germans to pay Belgium huge sums for the privilege of crossing her toil to attack France, the gallant King rallied his army of 330,000 men and placed himself at their head to ght 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 fort of Liege and Namur. During the great conflict King Albert rpared himself none of the rigors of the soldier. Often he exposed 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 had been promised $200,000 to deliver the King to the enemy was shot dead as he endeavored to drive the royal car into the German lines. "My skin is of no more value than yours," he told his heartsick soldiers r.n their retreat from Antwerp. "My place 13 on the firing line!" Gueen Handsome Woman. 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, the heir apparent, Prince Leopold, Duke of Brabant, born November 3, 1901; a second son, Prince Charles Theodore, born in 1903, end a daughter, the Princess Marie Jose, born In 190G. The Queen is highly educated and fond of music, literature and art. Music is said to be a passion with her and she Is an accomplished violinist. She also plays the piano and mandolin with much ability. It is said that she has a marked preference for the old

repertoire but confesses to abominating Wagner. Some years ago she developed talent as a dramatist and in 1906 wrote "Rosamund," a play which was produced in Brussels in March of that year and caused a decided stir in the Belgian capital. She is also a skilled horse-woman. During the war the Queen nursed wounded soldiers. A daughter of Duke Charles Theodore of Bavaria, a renowned oculist, she began the study of medicine herself at the age of sixteen end took her degree of M. D., at Leipzig, just before her marriage. Exceedingly fond of horses and dogs, the Queen, before the war, frequently attended the weekly inspection of the royal stables. 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 have benefitted from her generosity without being aware of the fact, for her gifts are usually madp anonymously. The Queen is an expert cook, herself, and frequently called at the school to advise the teachers and watch the progress of the students. Among her numerous charities, not the least is the Albert-Elizabeth Dispensary in Brussels, which the King and Queen established and have supported for years.

Attempt to Trap English Fleet by Mines Was Made (Fly Associated Press) LONDON, Oct. 2 German U-boats tried to bottle up the British grand fleet in the Firth of Forth during the latter part of the war, says a London paper, which describes this as the most ambitious tactical operation undertaken by enemy undersea craft. The scheme aimed at the blocking off of the entrance to the Forth by the sowing of a big minefield. Three months of hard work were devoted to the task by a considerable fleet of submarines, the mines being laid in the shape of a half moon. But minesweepers had discovered the plan and, as fast as the mines were planted, they were cleared away. It is recalled that other similar attempts to trap the fleet were made in 1915 in the Moray Firth, when over 400 mines were laid, and in 1916 at the Orkneys. In round numbers, on these three occasions, the Germans laid 1,100 mines at a cost of $1,000 each. The King Edward was the only fighting ship that tell victim in these operations. Enormous numbers of mines were laid by the Germans off Harwich. It was found that these fields were spread regularly at ten-day intervals, so British sweepers occasionally left portions of these waters unswept so that when the next batch of submarines came along they ran afoul of their own mines. The task of clearing British waters of mines is almost completed.

When the history of the war has been written, the work done by the women at home will impress itself upon this nation as few even now realize. Literally, millions of women left their homes and took up war activities into which women had never before been called, and many more at home devoted long hours at work in knitting and preparing surgical dressings for the boys "over there." Some may have worked at the expense of health and are now suffering from headaches, backache, dragging-down

Beauty isn't the only quality Possessed by this Suite Enduring beauty ye3 but more than that. These living room pieces are made to allow the utmost in comfort. And they do, too. All you need to do is come in and see them. Rest in the davenport or large chair and realize for yourself what refreshing ease you will experience.

One of the most stylish suits to be shown at the Style Show at the Washington this evening will be a model that carries a new style tendency in its blouse back. It is made of the new peachbloom material, in beaver shade. The skirt of the jacket has wide box plaits at front and back with the sides trimmed horizontally by cord tucking ln groups of three. The panel effect in back is carried above the waist line far enough to diminish the broad effect of the usual blouse back. The simple string belt, ties in a bow at the front and bands of fur trim collar and cuffs. Another charming model is one suitable to the demand of the average figure as a dressy and formal type of suit. The blouse effect is carefully developed to retain slender lines and the curved line of the embroidered space at the back above, the waist protects the broad expanse usual to the blouse suit. The large embroidered pockets that continue from the front panel along the bottom of the jacket to the panel in back which falls slightly bolow the jacket line is an unusual and individual touch. The string belt is most attractive as It crosses over the back panel and fall almost to the hem widening at the ends. Premet Model Shown. One of the most distinctive types of suit to be shown is a loose model of the very new mode tapering gracefully to the hern featuring the new French fashion sponsored by Premet. The side seams are marked at the bottom with inverted plaits, suggesting the close effect about the ankles. Three narrow folds begin at side front and circle deep on the back this is an especially interesting feature. The slightly oval arm holes have an unusual sleeve treatment formed by the inside seam being button trimmed. The narrow turn-over collar in the back results in widf revers in front and when fastened high to the chin becomes a distinct design of its own. This charming model is suitable for more dressy occasions as well as for practical wear. Wooltex Coats are Fashion's Favorites Models in coats as developed by the Woollex tailors are featured in the display of other wraps. One model boasts of the new silhouette the fullness at the sides the now knapsack back of the present mode which gives the blouse effect so much in demand. A band of trimming of self material that starts at ihe shoulder and curves around the pocket gives a very graceful line to the front. A narrow tie belt adds youth ,as does the snug turnover collar. Another particular style illustrates one of the leading fashion tendencies of the season. This model tapers in at the feet which is here shown on a model designed in Paris by Rene cut with square lines making two diagonal pockets, is particularly interesting to the woman wishing a dressy type of coat. Softly gathered to a square yoke in black and tapering to the ankles give the style lines so becoming to almost any type of figure. The deep arm holes squarely cut, as are the cuffs also, follow the squarelike suggestion of the entire garment. The shawl collar opens to deep attractive revers. Adv.
