Belgian King from Headquar

Sends His Hearty Greetings
To Kind Americans.
PRAISES HIS SMALL
ARMY FOR BRAVENESS
Says His Men Saved Dunkirk,
And Calais from German
Onrush at Battle of Yser!

FLANDERS, Dec. 23. In the council
chamber of the Ancient Flemish
1 town hall from which he is direct
; Ing, under German shell fire, the re
I slstance of hi war-torn little army,
blocking the road to Dunkirk and
Calais. King Albert told the AstiM
elated Press of the stand tils soldiers
are making against the' German In-
' vaderH.
! The king's headquarters are locat
ed on the remaining dry areas in
tliut small oonier of Iletgium left
under hie rule. The king also request
ed the Associated Press to convoy to
the people of the United Statos his
deep gratitude for their efforts to
feed his subjectR now under German
mUItary rule.
He praised the soldiers and ex
pressed the modest belief that the
shattered little Relglan army waved
Dunkirk and Calais at the battle of
Yser. He expressed the belief that
before the war Is over he will re
turn to ftrueaeia at Uib UsaiUcUUhJa
army.'
The monarch was alone when the
correspondent was admitted to the
council chamber, not even his aide
being present The king's tall angu-
, 1T 1-lncolii-llke form was clothed in
the slnipte undress uniform of the
general of the artillery, which is
without Inalgnia beyond tbe braided
shoulder straps to distinguish him
from the staff officer.
Physically King Albert looks hard
ened but the lines of care show in
his otherwise youthful face. In n
manner he te decidedly shy and be
apologised for his English, which,
however, was very fluent.
The light from the smoky oil
lamp barely penetrated the receeee
; of tlle grwit beamed hall, from the
walls of which empty picture frames
atared down. When the king saw tha
eyes of the correspondent fixed on
the blank spaces where a few months
ago Invaluable fmelsh canvas hung,
he smiled and sall he no' longer ex
pectet the Germans even to be In a
position to take the frames. He mod
estly praised tils soldiers, speaking
of them with great kindness sa
though talking of his own children.
"I' believe," he aald, "my army is
courageous. Mv' people, however, are
too democratic for the same discip
line that prevails In the oonecriift
European armies. You will see some
thing of the bravery of my people
when tomorrow you shall have a
chance to witness Peasants working
In tho fields under shell fire, con
cerned only for the losaes of their
homes, tbe destruction of which
causes them great grief."
When Edgar Sengeer, Belgian at
lacho of the American commission
for the relief of Belgium, eutered,
presented the king's report from the
commission, allowing that there la
enough food In alght to feed his pt'!-
pie until February 12, the king turn
ed quickly to the correspondent say
ing: . ,
"Will you be king enough to eon
vey to the American people my rteea
gratitude."
