WHEN QUEEN VICTORIA THOUGHT

SHE WOULD DIE

"OH, ALBERT, ALBERT, I SEE YOU EVERYWHERE”

REVEALED for the first time, letters written by

Queen Victoria two years after the death of her husband, Prince Albert, show that, grief-stricken, she thought she herself would soon die, and she wondered what would become of her children.

The letters, written between 1841 and 1900, were recently discovered in the Brandenburg-Prussian State archives in Berlin- Charlottenburg. They are edited by Hector Bolitho and pub- lished by Thornton Butterworth (15s.).

Writing to the Queen of Prussia in July 1863, 38 years before she died, Queen Victoria said:

"Oh, how bitter, how hot, are the tears that I often pour forth in the evening in his room kneeling beside his chair.

"How fervently do I implore his aid and how 1 wring my hands towards heaven and cry aloud, 'Oh, God, have pity, Let me go soon! Albert, Albert, where at thou?" SUCH TORTURE

Later the same summer, when she was at Balmoral and surrounded by so many memorials to the dead Prince, she wroto to the Empress Augusta:

"My life is without joy, and nothing, nothing can ever bring back one shred of my lost happiness! Oh, God, why must it be so? This yearning is such torture!

"In this house I see him, hear him, search for him every- where...

When I am in the open and everything is as it

used to be, I cannot believe that my beloved Albert is not out shooting as usual-then every evening comes the terrible return home which is so agonising to me.... I could go mad from desire and longing."

A few weeks after the death of Prince Albert, Queen Victoria wrote of him to his brother, the King of Prussin, as "the sun of my life."

"My poor heart is broken for ever," she continued. "My life and thoughts depended entirely on him. My own ambi- tion was to please him, to be worthy of him.

Many Lives Saved By U.S. Missionaries In Canton

By WELDON JAMES

United Press Staff Correspondent

Canton, March 2.

The unassuming courage of a single American couple, Dr. and Mrs. F. E. Bates of Nevada, Iowa, and Los Angeles, has saved the lives of scores of air-raid victims in this oft- raided city.

Warned that their Seventh Day Adventist mission hospital was in the most dangerous section of Canton after the first of innumerable Japanese air-raids was staged last summer, the due- tor and his wife made but one decision that their location was the best in the world for rendering the quickest possible first- aid to bomb victims.
