LATE KING ALBERT
TRIBUTE FROM BRITAIN HILLSIDE OF PRIMROSES (Received October 7, 5.5 p.m.) British Wireless RUGBY, Oct. 6 Fifteen thousand primrose roots, gathered from English woods and lanes, have been sent to Belgium and will be planted on the hillside where King Albert fell to his death. It is hoped that this typical British flower, which is uncommon in Belgium, will form a living memorial to King Albert and that for many generations to come it will be a symbol of the affection and esteem in which he was held in Britain.
