To Aid

Empire In War Effort‘

IQNDON, NOV. 13—-(OP)—-'1'0 the

women of the no!!!" Queen Ella- abethlaunched a stirring appeal Saturday milling on them to keep the home front "stable and strong."

Her clear mm voice went to the four corners of the earth from Buckingham Palace, where in quiet tones she spoke into a mlcroph and in simple words said to the Empire's womanhood: "I know that. lt is not so difficult to do the big things." -

A little less than flve months ago

she spoke over the radio from Hal- ifax, bidding farewell to Canada and telling the Empire of the in- spiratlon of that trip. 1n her first broadcast since that historic moment. the Queen recall- ed the circumstances of the Canad- ian tour:- "The world then was at. peace and for seven happy weeks we had moved in an atmosphere of such good-will and human kindllness that the very ides. of strife and bloodshed seemed impossible. Rec- ollection of it still warms my heart and gives me courage."

Contrasted Circumstances Her Majesty then contrasted that moment with the circum- stances “sadly different“ in which she spoke. She referred feeltngly to the women of Poland who had suffered the first “cruel and shat- tering blows" of the war and the "gallant womanhood of France who are called upon to share vlrith us again the hardships and sorrows of war."

"War has at all times called for the fortitude of women," the Queen said.

She thanked the women of the Empire for their response to the call to duty and continued:-

“The novelty and excitement of the

new and interesting duties have an

similar-salon of their own Bu; the“

t-Bskl are not for every woman. It is the thousand and one worries| Md Emotions in carrying on war- I time life in ordinary homes whichl often is so hard to bean. l "Bo assured that 1n carrying on l your home duties and in meeting’

all these worries cheerfully you are giving real service to your country. , You are taking your part in keep- i lng the homefront, which will have l dangers of its own. stabie and ; strong." f l

Words Of Sympathy l

The Queen. in an allusion to the f separation of ‘Their Mojestles from . their daughters during their Can- adian tour and in Etngland sincel the war saldz- ,

"The King and I know what, it means to be parted from our child-l rcn and can sympathize with those l of you who bravely consented to the separation for the sake of your little ones."

She referred to the evacuation of thousands of children from urban danger zones.

"Women of all lands yieam for the day when it will be possblle to set about. the building of a. new and better world where peace and goodwill shall abide," Her Majesty said.

‘To all of you in every corner of the Empire who are doing such fine work in all our services, or who are carrying on at home amidst the trials of these days, I would give a message of hope and encouragement.

"We put our trust in God who is our refuge and strength in all times of trouble. I pray viii-h all my heart that he may bless, gulcle and keep you always."

BElBIUMANIl CCNFERENCE

fBy Max Harreolson)

(Associated Press Staff Writer) THE HAGUE, Nov. l2 -—(AP) -— Tlie Foreign Ministers of Belgium and the Netherlands tonight held a surprise conference on the develop- ments of a tense week-end. They met at Bredo near the Belgian- Dutch frontier.

The exact purpose of the confer- ence was not disclosed but the Ministers. Paul Henri Spank of Bel- gium. and Eelco N. Vankleffens of the Netherlands, met a few hours after Leopold and Queen Wilhelmina had received British and French replies to Belgian- Nelherlands mediation offers, sent. to the belllgerents last week. The United States Minister George A. Gordon was received by Queen Wilhelmina tonight but there was no comment as to the nature of their conversation. ' The government studied today the British and French replies to the peace mediation offer in the hope of finding a basis to bring the belligerents together around a conference table.

Some concern was felt over the interruption of telephone service to some eastern sections of the coun- try last night. It was announced toduv that communications were disturbed by military order but they had been restored.

At least hnlf the members of the French legstionistaff at the Hague packed their bags in preparation to leave should an emergency arise.
