 President Wilson, thanking Baron Moncheur and through him King Al bert, said in reply:
 Your excellency is good enough to express the thanks of the Belgian peo- pie for the participation of America in feeding the people of your stricken country. This work in which so many Americans have been enthusiastically engaged since the beginning of the war is one which has brought as much of benefit to them as to the innocent civ ilian population whom it was intended to aid.
 America engaged upon this work as being the only means, however. made quate, ill expressing our deep and sin cere admiration for the valiant nation that had gone forth unhesitatingly to meet the onslaughts of a ruthless en- emV rather than sacrifice her honor and her self respect.

principal speaker at the dinner, told some new things about Italy's difficult position in the war.
 Among all the nations at war" he said, Italy has the honor of being the one who is silently taking the greatest strain and the greatest privation.
 Our front has an extension of 340 miles, and the natural conditions which it presents are extremely bad. Along it the soldiers of Italy are fighting among the high peaks of the Alps, often at heights over 10000 feet.
 For more than two years Italy has had an army always superior in num- bers to three million; it is now ap- preaching four millions.
 To get a clear idea of what Italy has done and of what she is doing, you must bear in mind that her population is a little over g 000,000. about one third that of the United States. If America were to make an equal sacri flee, she would have to maintain under arms for more than two years about l2,00O, 900 and even then her effort would not be equal to ours, for the wealth of the United States is incom parably greater than that of Italy. To feel an equal strain, America would have to fling at least thirty billions of dollars into the furnace of war"
