Latest Photo of New Belgian King, Queen Elizabeth and Two Children

IT is believed with the ascension of Prince Albert of Flanders to the throne of Belgium there will be an end to the misconduct of affairs in the Congo Free State, which '-as aroused the criticism of humanitarians all over the world. Albert is regarded as a humane man, and the future queen of the Belgians is said to be a woman of the highest humanitarian principles. Prince Albert takes I deep interest in the affairs of his subjects and is . responsible already for many "reforms. He is one of the most democratic royalists in Europe. One of the accompanying pictures is a snapshot of the prince in a miner's attire after having made an inspection of a mine. The laws of Belgium for the safeguarding of minres are very rigid, and the prince makes frequent inspections to see that the workmen

are properly protected. The new king will occupy the historic palace at Laeken, which was recently vacated by King Leopold. The aged mon. . arch had the furnishings sold and

moved into a small house nearby some time ago. Leopold was at odds with two of his three daughters for years, but was fond of Prince Albert, his nephew, and of the future queen.
