STATE ENTRY OF BELGIAN KING AND QUEEN '
A MOVING SPECTACLE
London, October 28. Mr Philip Gibbs writes a vivid account of the State entry of the King and Queen of the Belgians into Bruges. Every soul in the city, ho says, was hi the streets, and the windows and bat conies of every house -were decorated with flags. After reviewing the troops, King Albert went to the Governor's House. The emotion of the populace broke all bounds. In of ,^°^ s the people surged round the tall ngure, who stood ot the salute. „ The populace say that the Germans never told them wken a submarine was sunk; "but we knew, the, commanders names; and also the dates of their trips. When a fortnight or a month passed and tho men . had not returned, we knew the British Navy had sunk them. ■ , The murder ot Captain Fryatt stirred the people of Bruges to cold fury. Admiral Schroeder hurried on the execution secretly in order that there should be no opportunity for a reprieve.-Aus.-N.Z.. Cable Assn.
