WITH your aid now. Belgium will rise
again"
In Topeka the mission will tell the
story of Belgium. They will tell what
the train load of food from Kansas
meant to thousands of their starving
countrymen. Several members of the
mission speak English, altho Baron
Moncheur is the recognized spokes-
man. Several of the generals who
nave participated in the nations brave
defense of liberty and independence
are in the party. 1t is probable all
members of the mission who recently
came to the United States will make
the western tour.
Work Out Program.
Members of the Kansas delegation
in Washington have been active in as
sisting in working out the program for
big meeting in Topeka. Reports
from Washington indicated that a
change might be made in the itinerary
completely eliminating Kansas from
the schedule. Persons in touch with
the personal desires of members of
the mission, however, are confident
that Baron Moncheur and his party
will urge especially the Topeka stop.
It is their desire to express to Kansas
in person the appreciation of little
Belgium that the Topeka visit is so
strongly urged.
May Pass Up Kansas.
Word received from Santa Fe Off
Gals in Washington today that the
Belgian commission, which Topeka
expected to entertain, had arranged a
schedule in which Kansas was not
included caused ]. Will Kelley, secre-
tary of the Chamber eff Commerce, to
wire again to Senator Curtis at Wash
ington. Mr.. Kelley received a wire
Saturday from the Kansas senator
saying he had eXacted a promise from
the state department that the Belgian
com sion would visit Topeka on Its
western tour.
The information received from the
Santa Fe today was to the effect that
the commission would go direct from
Denver to Omaha without touching
Kansas. Mr.. Kelley asked Senator
Curtis to ascertain if the information
were correct.
IF the commission really desires
to pay homage to the states that ex-
tended the greatest aid to Belgium
in her hour of need, its members can't
overlook Kansas" said Mr. Kelley.
