GIMIEKT Staff Corrwpondenl nf (lia lftenlnir Public Washington. Oct. 211. President Wilson will pop the kluf? and queen of the Belgians tomorrow. Thin will bo the first official visit the President hns had since hli Illness. Tt is an evidence of the l'l cedent's recovery nnd it is n sign that he will take a more active part in public affairs from now on. Whether the President will discuss world affairs with the HpIribii kins is llnrprfnin. TTn nntt nl, cinnll,, M ' to do this and constantlv follows the Industrial situation, the treaty's proc ess in tho Senate and even the poli tical prospects in the comine. state elec tions. But the main object of to morrow's reception is to do honor to the head of the state to which this coun try Is bound by special ties. , Ilnd Albert been forced to leave ' Washington without seeing Mr. Wilson, , It would be another in a series of un fortunate incidents. t Importance of A islt 1 In no part of the world is the Lnited l States regarded with such affection as t In Belgium, because of the work done ( there by Mr. Hoover in feeding the peo pie during tho early years of the war and again nftcr tho signing of the , armistice. 1 Unfortunately the President was pre t Tented bvhis engagements at Pari-t from visiting Brussels promptly upon his reaching Europe. Then again the terms of peace were disappointing to I the Belgian people. And finally the choice of Oenea, instead of Brussels, as the capital of the league of nations, was a blow to Belgian pride. , But commercial relations with this country are vastly important to Albert's kingdom, whose business has been dis located by its break with its best cus tomer, Germany, and by the tendency of the transportation of the Al-ace-Lorrainc products to be diverted to France and away from the Belgiun ports. To the T'nited States close friendship with Belgium is important because Belgium sits in the counsel of the league of nations and is to placed that it is, as it has always been, a key nation in the politics of western Europe. No Plans for Wales' Visit N'o plans have been made with re , gard to the Prince of AVales. lie is i expected to come here and the proba bility is that he will be received by the President in the same fashion as the King of the Belgians. The for malities of his islt here will also have to be curtailed. No appointment has yet been made j for Senator Hitchcock to see the Presi dent. To the letter which the Senator sent Doctor Grayson about ten days ago, saying that it would be unneces sary to have any conference until after the amendments to the treaty had been rojt?ctcd and that then it would be de sirable to discuss the administration's position, Doctor Grayson replied to the effect that the President thanked Mr. Hitchcock, but no appointment was made and nothing said whether one would be possible. But at that time the situation was too indefinite for any more positive action. It was not certain just when the amendments would be disposed of and Doctor Grayson did not care to predict what the condition of the Presi dent would be when the time arrived. Will See Hitchcock Soon It is expected now, however, that Senator Hitchcock will see Mr, Wilson on Friday or Saturday of this week, or early next week. In the last few days that the President has been attendinc to the more important public business he has written, or at least caused to be written, messages to the industrial conference and to the soft coal con ferees. He has vetoed the prohibition bill. This wor khas had no unfavorable et i, 1 I liii, 'I n" R. R. WAGE DEMAND POLICE NAB SEVEN ALLEGED BOMBERS UP FOR DECISION UKIO. OHN. CHUM, K.N It.
