WHAT KING ALBERT HAS

DONE.

THE SAVIOUR OF A GALLANT NATION.

TRAGEDY OF THE WALL

To King Albert more than to any man living is dus the failure of the German plan of campaign.

So declares Dr. Sarolea in a message to the Chronicle from Antwerp. Dr. Sarolea laid the honour of heing received by the King of the Belgians at the Palace of Antwerp in private audience, and of listening for about an hour to the exposi- tion of his Majesty's political views.

The King spoke with the utmost dom and frankness, says the correspond- eat. It was his Majesty's firma conviction that this war was not a mere accident, a bolt from the blue. The Servian tragedy was a mere pretext. Any other incidont might have served as well.

SECRET SITTING.

GHENT, September 21st. The Prussians in occupation of Brussela declare quits frankly that they are pre- pared to destroy the city if necessary. Remembering the fate of Louvain and Termonde, the unfortunate inhabitanta realise that the flimsiest of pretexts will serve their enemies if they wish to revenge themselves for a forced fight castward before the advancing Allies.

LONDON, October 18th. German headquarters state that between four and five thousand prisoners were captured at Antwerp. The booty included 500 guns, quantities of stores, automobiles, and locomotives and four million kilo- grammes of cereals, besides flour, coni, flax and wool, valued at half a million sterling. The Germans also secured much copper and silver and many cattle and an armoured train.

It was obvious to me that King Albert had the most implicit confidence in the final issue, and that he had an absolute trust in his English allies.

his

But it was equally obvious that for the present what was uppermost in Majesty's mind was not the anticipation of victory and of a just retribution to be inflicted on the invader, but rather an acute sense of the tragic solemnity of the hour and of the huge difficulties to be

overcome,

King Albert was convinced that these diflleulties could only be overcome through a systematic organization of all the mate rial and moral resources of the nation against the common enemy, and through the merging, of all party differences, through a whole bearted co-operation of the ruler with the elected representatives of the people.

DEVASTATED BELGIUM.

In order to insure that unanimous agreement, King Albert called in the ad vios of the Socialist leaders. From his accession to the throne the King has been an ideal democratic and constitutional ruler.

He impressed me as overwhelmed by the agony and anguish of martyred Belgium. What will reainice, the King exclaimed in despair, of Belgium's thriving industries, of her commerce so laboriously built up? When vistory finally decides in our lavour, what wreckage will have accumu lated! If the Germans were to continue their depredations for a few more months, the country would be a desert. FRANCE'S DEADLY SECRET. SHELLS THAT PARALYSE ORGANS OF THE BODY.

LATÈNT “HELL-FRODUCER.” Mr. A. A. Roberts, the well-known analytical chemist, writes to the Pall Mall Gazette:

An evening paper of Thursday last, is responsible for the following:-

One wonders what kind of shells the French must have been using to cause a regiment of German infantry to dio in their trenches, standing bolt upright, and still holding their rides in firing attitude? The Daily Telegraph correspondent notes the remarks of an American member of the Croix Rouge as having seen

The German trenches, as the French guns had left them, filled with dead, but with dead in such posture as the world has never seen since the destroying angels passed above the Philistine camp, in that avenging night of Scripture. They stood in line rifles to shoulder, a silent company

The picture of this sinister procession is stamped for ever on the minds of the men and women who are now living under Prussian rule in Brussels. In every church in the city prayers are offered daily for its preservation. Women are always kneeling before one of the altars in the cathedral with this petition on their lips. Doubtless the Prussian military authori- ties will, it challenged as

to their treatment of Brussels, declare that no victorious army could be more lenient to a conquered capital. Trams and cafés play their part in a semblance of normal city life; Belgian civilians can walk freely in many of their own streets, and there have been no orgies like those in some of the outlying villages, in which women and girls were sacrified to the Kaiser's officers.

HARSH RULE.

Field-Marshal von der Goltz knows that the entiro world is watching his administration of Brussels, and his garrison of old men is kept rigidly within the regulations prescribed for the govern: ment of an enemy's capital.

Yet life in Brussels under Prussian rule is almost intolerable. The invaders them- selves must realise this, for they profess to believe that a rising of the populace is Henco the machine-guns, the imminent. trenches in certain streets, and the threats of dreadful reprisals if a single civilian dares lift his hand against the enemy.

The officers lose no opportunity of making the townspeople realise that they are in the grip of the miniled fist. They stride down the Boulevard Anspach, shouldering women out of the way, just as they would in Unter den Linden. They sit in groups in the cafés round the Bourse, discussing their campaign of pillage and recounting incidents of the destruction they have left in their wako.

This force of Railway, Makers, he told me, was admirably equipped, ready to move at a moment's notice. Its duty was to rebuild railways as the French troops moved forward. It would be no simple matter; one might be sure that German methods and the general chaos of war had ruined entire systetus. New tracks must be laid down--first temporary, for the immediate emergency, then permanent. Bridges must be built, culverts, stations, a new signalling system installed. And so closely with such characteristic French insight and sympathy had all this been arranged that the officers of the Railway Makers (of whom he was one) would have men to serve under them at their various points of effort whom they.. had employed and learned to understand in civil capacity before the war broke out. This, said my friend, with an eagerness very pleasant to witness, would make for more rapid and more efficient work..

"When--not if," he corrected. Why,
