THE ROYAL SILVER WEDDING
HOW BKLGTAX RULERS AERO- ' PLANED TO LONDON. London, July Tl. : The "Daily Chronicle" stales that: two seaplanes brought tha King and Queen of Belgium to Engluml on Friday evening. They left Belgium, where Kins Albert "has throughout tho war shared the fortunes of his troops, unattended by fscoris. They alighted on the water in tho vicinity of a Channel port, after (in hour's flight, without incident. A motor-launch brought them ashore. The Kings and Queens of Britain and Bel- ] gium attended a crowded demonstration in tho Albert ITall in honour of Bel- \ gium, and received a tremendous ovii- .' tion. Lord Curzon delivered an oration on ''The Glory of Belgium," and said that this was summed up in King Albert's address to his Parliament in August, 1914, whtn he said tho country that defends itself commands respect, and that BiH'h .i nation will never porisll. King Albert has thus become the symbol of the world's freedom. It was for the . sake of Belgium that we had entered '. the war; but it was for Europe, for the world, for liberty, and for right, that we ' continued to pursue it.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn. ~
