DUTCH QUEEN’S COURAGE
Queen Wilhelmina, who at the age of 10 succeeded her father, William 111, has not had the forty years of placid ruling with which she is accredited, states the London Daily Telegraph. The case is cited of an incident in early November, 191-8, when the eyes of the world were fixed elsewhere than on The Hague. Civil disturbances rose to a head when Troelj stra, the agitator, persuaded some of ; the garrison to mutiny and led a mob | of rebel troops and workpeople to the j gates of the Palace. Queen Wilhelmina, with the little j Princess Juliana at her side, walked calmly out of the gates among the crowd. The soldiers recognised them, | and there was a cry of “Don’t touch I the Queen I” Soon cheering burst out, and a potential revolution turned into a loyal ovation.
