BJT THE INTEBKA- j - TIONAL NEWS SERVICE.) Parts. April 10.-On my way to Hou--then, the general headquarters of the Belgian army, whither I am bearing a meeaage from the President of the French republic to His Majesty King Albert, I today traversed Fumes, one ..of the towns uselessly and savagely bom bard ei by the Germans, where at this hour, fey rlnd, snow, rain and hail . are raging beneath the darkening sky ' Here, as at Ypres, the Germans turned their guns specially against the historic p.rtlon of the place, against the charming old- town hall and Its fsurroundings. This was done because Kins: Albert, when first driven from his palace. Installed himself there. 1 How 1b It there la just now no air of adness about this half deserted-town ? - .One would think the gayety of these soldiers, despite the sinister weather. naxi communicated itself to things de vastated. All of them seem In fine neaith and spirits. I. no longer' perceive the somewhat frightened, haggard faces, as at the beginning of the war. The continual outdoor life, with good food, has gilded the cheeks of; the soldiers ; spared by Shells; but what especially sustains them la their entire confidence in the certainty that they have obtained the upper-band, and are now marching to iVlctory. They foresee an end to tno German Invasion, Just as they know this early spring weather will end. i - Welcomes Freach Bailors, f During a momentary calm a small group of French sailors suddenly grouped near me. , I could not refrain from beckoning to them as one would to lost children wandering in the woods, and they ran up to the door of my car, very pleased themselves to see .my naval uniform. !; It -is about an. hour's run between fFurnes and Houthen. It Is a flat coun try, and the weather was frightful .the broken roads, the flooded fields, that seemed like marshes and the few .trenches and chevaux frise all remind ed one that the barbarians were- still jiear. f : For all that it was Impossible to be melancholy. Kvery minute I met sol- VMJ i." cai.il- Ing courage and gayety, restored my erenity. Even the poor sappers re pairing the dugouts or making barriers rwlth water up to their knees, wore a jnerrjr amile beneath their dripping hoods. ' And what a lot of soldiers. Belgians and French, there were min gling fraternally In the smallest ham lot. JIM Many Belgian Soldier left. i Who said there were no Belgian sol diers left? I am always meeting con btderable detachments marching in good order to the front, well equipped, and of fine appearance, with convoys f excellent modern artillery. ' I It rains unceasingly, and the cold Is chilling, but here at last is Houthen. and In a minute I shall see this king Without reproach as without fear. But for the troops and the numerous mili tary automobiles one would never im agine this lost village would be the general headquarters. I have to leave Jay car, for the royal residence Is only a path. ; ! Among the weather beaten automo biles stationed there all bespattered with mud la one that Is elegant, but bears no coat of arms Two letters, "S. M." (Sa Majcste), chalked on the black door, alone show It Is the king's car. i i The. king's quarters form a charming corner of old Flanders, an ancient ab bey, surrounded by trees and tombs. The pathway borders a religious little cemetery, and here in the rain an aide-de-camp, amiable and simple like his king, comes to greet me. Vo "Bed Tape" in Seeing- Xing. Guards keep watch at the entrance door of . the royal residence. There is fio ceremonial whatever. I pass mrougn tne modest passage, where I have Just come to divest myself of my great coat, when the door opens and In a recess stands the king tali, slim, of regular features, with an astonishing ly youthful air, eyes frank, sweet and noble, and with his hand outstretched tn hearty welcome. . In the course of my life other kings and emperors have received me; but, for all their pomp and the splendor of their palaces, never have I felt so much respect for a sovereign majesty as on 2 'r: :;':r-vrr ri i .

C ... finite, wnen x expressed tnis reel ing to King Albert, he replied, smiling. un. my palace!" He completed the nhrase with an In different gesture, which took in his humble surroundings. Modest. Indeed, was the room I en tered, but in the absence of all vultrar display, it, nevertheless, had the dis tinction of well filled bookshelves. which entirely covered one side. At one end stood an open piano, with Its book of music. In the middle was a big table, covered with mans and stra tegic plana Albert Very Inter sting. The window was open, despite the coia. it looked out on a little old world priests gardea, secluded, leafless and sad, as though weeping with the win ters rain. What struck me most about the king was his sincere and exquisite modesty. He is unconscious of having behaved admirably. He does not think he de serves the veneration of the French na tion. - . When I told him I had seen pictures of the king and queen of the Belgians In the palace of honor in the remotest country huts in France, with little blaok, yellow and red flags piously pinned around him, he hardly seemed to Deiieve me. His smile and this silence seemed to reply: "What I have done is very natural, would any king wor thy of the name been able to do other' wiser wnet a strange destiny for this prince, who at first did. not seem des tined for the throne, and who would perhaps have preferred to continue his somewhat secluded life of other days oesiae tne princess he loves. wnen me- unexpected crown was piacea on nis youtnrui forehead he thought he, had a right to hope for an era of peace in the midst of the most peaceful of people.. Yet he was to ex perience the most fearful tragedy of an reigns. Sees Victory Ahead. Suddenly, without weakening, with out even hesitation, disdaining com promises which to the detriment of world civilization might have saved his cities and palaces, he opposed the mon sters onrush like a great war king amiast tnis army or heroes. Today M Is plain he does not doubt the victory Is coming. His own loy alty gives him entire confidence in the loyalty of the allies, who are Indeed in tent on restoring his, Belgium to life. Nevertheless, the king is determined to have his soldiers co-operate in the de liverance to the last man, and have them remain to the end at the post of danger and honor. Another less notable than he would have said: "I have fully repaid my debt to the universal cause. It was my1 troops who raised the first rampart against barbarism. My country, the first to be trampled under foot by the German brutes, is only 1i heap of ruins. That is enough "for me!" v i; But the king wants Belgium to have her name" Inscribed on a yet finer page along that of Serbia in the golden book of history. That Is why in approach I lng his .quarters I met these valorous troops, alert, fresh, miraculously re vived, proceeding to the front to con tinue the struggle. ,- AMERICA CAN T END MEXICAN PROBLEMS British Embassy Is Now Dry Territory Sir Cecil Spriaf-SOo Specifies Soft S rinks Only for VAttaches, But leaves Iioophole f or Guests.

S. and In response to certain questions prepared a statement on matters which he formerly had refased to dis cuss. The questions particularly referred to intervention by the United States and the re sults of such actions. The statement follows: By Victorlano Hnerta, former pro visional president. 1 (Copyright, 1915. by International News Service. ) New York, April 17. Mexico must save itself. Intervention by the United States would not solve her problems. It would take the United States many years and be necessary for 1 her to sacrifice millions of men before she could restore order , out of the chaos In Mexico. Even then It. would not be certain that Improved conditions in Mexico would be permanent. The present conditions in Mexico wllL continue until some strong Mexi can, who is a natural leader, - rises to govern the people. He must be a man who has the confidence of all Mexicans. He must be a real leader a man of iron will, but above all, a just man. Such a man could In a short time stop the warring in Mexico be cause the people now have-reached the point where they are tired of constant rebellion. -. Takes a Strong Man. Such a man could weld the several factions together and transform .the nation from a war-ridden country into a peaceful'one. He would not be able to accomplish thlg quickly. It would be done gradually, but surely.. Mexicans are beginning , to realize the horrible folly of constant revolu tions. But they will not stop fighting until a real Mexican comes into power. Mexico would resent intervention In the same way that a man would resent the intervention of neighbors in his domestic trouble. The United States, in the same way, would have resented any intervention during the Civil War. The United States would not have the good will of Mexicans If Intervention were ordered. - The factions now at war would band Into a solid front against the United States. And the warfare would be bitter and ' last In definitely. The United States has more than 90,000.000 inhabitants; Mexico has only 16,000,000. Despite this advantage in numbers, the United States would be confronted with the huge task of sur rounding Mexicans on their own soil, and much guerilla warfare would fol low. . - ' : - oves XU ZTatlve Jband. -.: I would not care to place myself in the position of prophesying whom the Mexican will be who - will lead the country 1 to peace and prosperity. There may be one big man in Mexico today, but this leader may be a man of the future. But sooner or later Ire will rise to power and Mexico will be saved. I do not care to discuss any ques tions relative to. my future, so far as Mexico Is concerned. 1 X have been asked scores of times if I would again take the presidency. I cannot answer such questions. I love Mexico, and I love her pea pie. I would willingly lay down my life for my native land. I resigned the presidency because I felt such ac tion would be for ' the best I am willing to devote the rest of my life serving Mexico in any way that I can help her. ...
