BELGIUM TO RESUME
PLACE, SAYS WILSON
Belgian Mission Received at
Washington and President
Promises Restora-
ton.

Washington, June 1o.-In greeting
Belgium's war mission Monday Presi
dent Wilson expressed Americas
solemn determination that on the in
evitable day Of victory, Belgium shal
be restored to the place she has SC
richly won among the self-respecting
and respected nations of the earth.
The commissioners passed the first
day in Washington paying official
calls. Secretary Lansing accompanied
them to the White House where
Baron Moncheur, head of the mission
handed to President Wilson a per-
sonal letter from King Albert and
expressed in a short address Bel
GUMS gratitude for Americas aid.
"Since the first days of the greatest
tragedy which has ever befallen hu-
manity," said the baron, Belgium has
contracted an immense debt of graft
tude to the generous American ma
ton. The initiative of American cltl-
zens gave to the unfortunate victims
of German cruelty in BELGIUM the
most splendid evidences OF generos-
ity.
But the chivalrous sentiments
which animate the people of the
United States went farther than this
when President Wilson giving an ad-
mirable example OF disinterested
power, uttered the words well fitted
to make up tremble with hope and to
cause US to fix our eyes confidently
upon the starry banner which has be.
come more than ever the symbol OF
strength placed at the service of the
highest and most pure principles. .
Leaning upon the young, strong and
generous hand which the American
people holds out to her, Belgium
will arise and, throwing aside the
odious weight Of foreign occupation
will, courageously and proudly, re-
sumo the path of progress In the light
of the sun of liberty"
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 is one which has
brought as much of benefit to them as
to the innocent civilian population
which it was intended to aid.
America engaged upon this work
as being the only means of expressing
our deep and sincere admiration Tor
the valiant nation that had gone forth
unhesitatingly to meet the onslaughts
of ruthless enemy rather than sacri-
flee her honor and her self respect.
THE American people have been
able to understand and glory in the
unAinching heroism of the Belgian
people and their sovereign, and there is
not one among us who does not today
welcome the opportunity of express
ing to you our heartfelt sympathy and
friendship, and our solemn determine
ton that on the inevitable day of VIC
tory Belgium shall be restored to the
place she has so richly won among
the self-respecting and respected ma
tons of the earth"
