(By mall to New York). In a little vil lage Just across the frontier from here I saw today, walking through the driz zle, the man who probably will come out of this war with the most lasting reputation of anyone engaged in It King Albert of Belgium. His long, ratheri English race, wore the expression of; one who had suf fered a great deal and who was en nobled by his suffering. , I have seen many pictures of ChrlstT on the cross, some done by masters. and In each I have seen about tne eyes an effort at Just the expression 1 caught In the eyes of the Belgian king. There "Is something of patience in it. something of pity, much suffering, but nothing mean. The king's small blonde mustacne emphasizes this expression, especially as It curves about a mouth of rather graceful lines and more adapted to ten derness than to -the harsher emotions. war uss marcaa nm aug. Tet, war has left its 'stamp' upon his strangely melancholy face, and there Is something paradoxical about it, something which , belies the gentle patience . one sees in the eyes. One reads determination, proud resentment and .absence of fear. . . . King Albert is the most popular of ficer in the.army. Nor is the devotion to him the blind devotion t6 a myster ious "His Majesty" concerning whom the common people know little. Albert is loved rather because he Is known than because he Is not. , , With the ! soldiers he is most demo cratio. He jdoes not wait for his men to come' to him; he goes to them. He trie to understand . them. He is con-. stantly among them. unescorted, dressed in the plainest of. uniforms and addressing his commonest private as a comrade rather than as 'a subject. -.. Dry Bread fox. Honor. "One, day," a grenadier told me, a certain pride in bis. voice, "we were sitting by the roadside eating our first meal of the day, which happened to be dinner. We had been holding the Germans in -check all day and were tired and hungry. All we had to eat was very dry bread. The king rode up alone and when he saw what we were eating tears came into his eyes. ' " 'My poor comrades, be said, "Just dry bread! . , " "It tastes mighty good to us, said the soldier next to me. " "Yes,' replied the king, there are GER1NLIST iLU&NlESOF' 509,10 IN 2 MONTHS ' Dead and Missing in August, September, Early, October Reach Appalling Proportion TJnited Pri Leaned Wlre.

Six New Destroyers For American Navy Bids Opened te WaaUngtoa for 89H Knot . Vassals; At Z.ast Two of Them Kay Be Built at Kara Island. Washington, Nov. 11. Bids for six new destroyers for the American navj were opened here yesterday. Each will have a displacement of 1110 tons, a length of 318 feet and a speed of 29 y knots. The armament will in clude two one pound aeroplane guns. The . bids were ' divided into two classes. One provided ror tne con struction of the vessels in strict 'ac cord with navy plans throughout; the other provided for alterations of ma chinery with the ' navy department's approval. The governmental navy yard at Mare Island, Cat, estimated this aft ernoon It could build the destroyers at least $200,000 cheaper than the low est bid submitted.. It was reported that one, and perhaps, two, of the ves sels, will be built at the Mare Island yards.

The king took it quickly and 'shook it hard." The man fell back, wiping hia eyes. Then the whole group crowded about and shook the king's hand. He seemed happier as he rode away. , "Belgium Cannot Die." " 'Belgium cannot die as long as she has men like you,' he said. " Nor while she has a king like you.' everybody shouted. "Then we all cried "Vive le roi!' " - This is typical of 'what one hears mingling with the" Belgian soldiers. I understand the1 king has shown dis favor to more than one officer for lack of interest in the soldiers under him. In Antwerp the men told me, he often, visited cafes alone ami sent to their quarters men' he found drinking in them. . v Poor, tried and suffering Belgium! Much bigger kingdoms have had much smaller kings. King Albert's face .Is the saddest I ever saw but its sadness is not because he has lost, at least tem porarily, his kingdom. It Is for his battered, tattered army, his exiled and scattered people. But he has one re compense, and that is the undying de votion :of his subjects, who consider him a : hero of . classic proportions, man who placed honor above his king dom. . , . .
