Describing the story of King Albert's death, last February 17, as the "biggest ipiece of spoof put over on the world in the last six months," Hutchison is reported to have said: "He did not die as a result of an Alpine accident, believe me. "I know the facts. "This spoof was put over by planned perjury in such a way that it is simply baffling to intelligent people." "The story of Albert's death was issued in Belgium before he was dead. A man with a rope around his waist does not go climbing by himself." Mentioning that Albert's field glasses were found 300 yards distant from the body and saying he had ascertained that there were no bruises on the King's body or hands, Hutchison continued: "In other words, he was tapped on the bade of the head.

This is known in Belgium. Nobody dares speak of the death of King Albert in Belgium today." "The facts are that King Albert was opposed tor war. "He would not play any part in GENERAL SIMONDS TELLS OFFICERS OFWARTHREATS War College Commandant Cites Europe, Far East as Disturbed Areas Many observers who were confi dent only several months ago that war In the Far East was imminent, and conflict certain this year, have changed their predictions because of recent happenings, Major Gen eral George S.

Official Belgtan circles expressed disgust today with the address of Colonel Graham Seton Hutchison last night before the Nottingham Writers' Club in which he said the late King Albert had been killed by a blow on the head, not by accident. They pointed out that King Albert invariably used a rope in his solo mountain climbing, thus being able to anchor himself to some projection aa a footing while descending.

Likewise, it was pointed out that it was nonsensical for Hutchison to say that no one in Belgium dared speak of Albert's death as it is a patent fact that the scene of the tragedy is visited daily by hundreds of 'the deviltry of France in conspiring for war against defenseless Germany. "He was a great unifying force between the Walloons and the Flemish.
