John Peter Altgeld&#8217;s personal secretary; instead he took a position with the Secretary of State. While in Springfield, he also studied the law under Senator J. M. Palmer; he was admitted to the bar in 1894, at the age of 25.<\/p>\n<p>Whitlock became very active in Illinois Democratic Party politics.

Jones, a.k.a. &#8220;Golden Rule&#8221; Jones.

When the First World War broke out, his responsibilities were increased as he was given representation for seven additional countries in wartime. His position was extremely sensitive after the German occupation of Belgium. His adroit performance of his duties in the office won him an international reputation for tact, zeal, and efficiency. Whitlock ensured food aid sent by the Committee for Relief in Belgium went to Belgian citizens rather than the German occupation forces.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl_year_cont\">\n<div class=\"tl_year_collision\">\n<div class=\"tl_year_borderhide\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tl_year_dot\">\n<div class=\"tl_year_dot_inner\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl_year\">1917<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl_item_collision odd expand\">\n<div class=\"tl_item_dot\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tl_item_line\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tl_item b_divsec tlc_work tl_work tl_dim0 tl_dim1 hasimg\">\n<div class=\"tl_text_cont hasattr\">\n<p>With the United States&#8217; declaration of war against Germany in April 1917, Whitlock needed to leave Belgium. He insisted on ensuring he accompanied other Americans out of Belgium, and crossed into Switzerland, which was neutral. During the war, he visited King Albert of Belgium at the Allied battle front.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl_year_cont\">\n<div class=\"tl_year_collision\">\n<div class=\"tl_year_borderhide\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tl_year_dot\">\n<div class=\"tl_year_dot_inner\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl_year\">1918<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl_item_collision odd expand\">\n<div class=\"tl_item_dot\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tl_item_line\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tl_item b_divsec tlc_work tl_work tl_dim0 tl_dim1 hasimg\">\n<div class=\"tl_text_cont hasattr\">\n<p>After the signing of the armistice in November 1918 and the restoration of the Belgian government, Whitlock returned to Brussels as minister. In 1919, he went to the United States for a visit. While he was at home, the United States&#8217; representation in Belgium was raised to rank of an embassy, and Whitlock became an ambassador.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"inline-icon\"> <\/span> Upcoming Birthday<\/h2>\n<p>\n                            Currently, Brand Whitlock is 153 years, 3 months and 21 days old.
