WILSON'S PROMISE
TO THE BELG|ANS
Declares Their Country Shall
Be Restored.
THE FORMAL PRESENTATION
Expresses the Nations Appreciation
For the Generous outburst OF
Sympathy Shown BY the
American Nation.

Washington.-ln greeting Belgium's
war mission Monday President Will
son expressed Americas solemn de-
termination that on the inevitable day
of victory Belgium shall be restored
to the place she has SO richly won
among the self-respecting and respect
ed nations OF the earth.
The commissioners spent the first
day in Washington paying official
calls. Secretary Lansing accompanied
them to the White House where Baron
Moncheur, head of the mission, hand
ed to President Wilson a personal let
ter from King Albert and expressed
in short address Belgium's gratitude
for Americas aid.
"Snce the first days of the greatest
tragedy which has ever befallen hui
manity," said the Baron, Belgium has
contracted an immense debt Of grati-
tude to the generous American nation.
In magnificent outburst of sympathy
for the little country which has chosen
to delay a powerful and pitiless enemy
rather than to tarnish its honor or
forswear its pllghted word, the initiat-
i've of American citizens gave to the
unfortunate victims of German cruelty
in Belgium the most splendid evil
dences of generosity.
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
civilian population whom IL was in
tended to aid
america engaged upon this work
as being the only means, however in
adequate, of expressing our deep and
sincere admiration for the valiant ma
ton that had gone forth unhesitating-
ly TO meet the onslaughts of ruth
less enemy rather than sacrifice her
honor and her self-respect.
THE American people have been
able to understand and glory in the
unlnching heroism Of the Belgian
people and their sovereign, and there
is not one among us who does not
today welcome the opportunity of ex-
pressing to your own heartfelt SYM
pathy and friendship and our solemn
determination that on the inevitable
day of victory Belgium shall be re-
stored to the place she has so richly
won among the self-respecting and re-
spected nations of the earth"

PRESIDENT CALLS
FOR VOLUNTEERS
Iune 1880 Recruiting Week
For Regulars.
STRENGTH OF 100000 AIM
Proclamation Issued To Request or
Army offieers-Men Are Asked
To Serve Only For Dura-
tion Of the War.
tCopyright.)

Washington. President Wilson
issued a proclamation designating the
week of June 1880 as recruiting week
for the Regular Army and called upon
unmarried men without dependents to
enroll for war service in order that the
ranks of the Regulars might be filled
promptly.
The proclamation follows:
Proclamation by the President
Il hereby designate the period OF
June 20 to June 80 next as recruiting
week for the Regular Army and call
upon unmarried men between the ages
of Is and 40 years who have no de-
pendents and who are not engaged in
pursuits vitality necessary to the
prosecution of the war to present
themselves for enlistment during the
week herein designated to the num-
Der of 10000.
"(Signed) WOODROW WILSON"
100000 BY June 80 Aim.
The Presidents action was taken
at the request of Army officials, who
have been seriously concerned over
the slow rate of recruiting for the
Regular Army despite the fact that
the War Departments recruiting
agencies cover every section of the
country and that men are asked to
serve only for the period Of the war.
1t had been hoped that the Regular
service could be brought to its whole
war strength of approximately 100000
men by June 80, which would have
permitted the War Department to
carry out its plans in regard to the
training of all the forces to be raised
and also as to the dispatch o. armies
to France. For several days, how
ever, the average enrolment for the
Army per day has been little more
than 1000 men instead of the 5000 or
more the department hoped to secure,
