TO RESTORE BELGIUM rs
AIM OF AMERICA

AIM OF AMERICA
WASHINGTON, June 19.-In
greeting Belgiun's war mission to-
day President Wilson expressed
Americas solemn determination that
on the inevitable day of victory Bel
gium shall be restored to the place
she has so richly won among the
self-respecting and respected ma
tions of the earth.
The commissioners spent the first
day in Washington paying official
calls. Secretary Lansing accompan-
led them to the White House, where
Baron Moncheur, head of the misss
ion, handed to President Wilson a
personal letter from King Albert
and expressed in short address
Belgium's gratitude for Americas
aid.
Since the first day of the great
est tragedy that has ever befallen
humanity" said the baron, Belgium
has contracted an immense debt of
gratitude to the generous American
nation. In a magnificent outburst of
sympathy for the little country
which had chosen to delay power
full and pitiless enemy rather than to
tarnish its honor or foreswear its
plighted word, the initiative of Am
erican citizens gave to the unfortun-
are victims of German cruelty in
Belgium the most splendid evidences
of generosity.
"But the chivalrous sentiments
which animate the people of the
United States went further than this
when President Wilson, giving an
admirable example of disinterested
power, uttered words we'll fitted to
make us tremble with hope and
cause us to fix our eyes confidently
upon the starry banner which has
become more than ever the symbol
of strength placed at the service of
the highest and most pure princi
pies"
President Wilson, thanking Baron
Moncheur and through him King
Albert said in reply:
"Your excellency is good enough
to express the thanks of the Belgian
people for the participation of Am
erica in feeding the peene 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 pop
ulation whom it was intended to
aid.
america engaged upon this work
as being the only means, however
inadequate, of expN,ssing our deep
and sincere admiration for the vail
ant nation that his gone forth unhesi-
ttingly to meet the onslaught of a
ruthless enemy rather than sacrifi-
ce her honor and her self-respect.
"The American people have been
able to understand and glory in the
unflinching heroism of the Belgian
peope and their sovereign, and there
is not one among us who does not
today welcome the opportunity of
expressing to you our heartfelt SYM
pathy and friendship and our sol
emn determination that on the inev-
liable day of victory Belgium shall
be restored to the place she has so
richly won among the self respect
ing and respected nations of the
earth.''
Tonight the visitors were enter
tanned at a formal White House din
ner. The diners included Vice Pres
ident Marshall, the Belgian minister,
Chief Justice White, Speaker Clark,
members of the cabinet, a number
of congressional leaders and high
officers of the army and navy.

President Wilson's message to con-
gress, asking power to protect the u.
S. flag on the high seas, was splendidly
conservative, courageous and patriotic.
1t epitomized, we believe, the sentiment
of the vast majority of the American
people, regardless of partisan afiiliation,
advocating as it did the maintenance
of law and the practices of civilization.
Standing upon the borderland of war
We, as people, could exhibit to the
world no greater element of weakness
than would be apparent in internal dis
sension and half hearted support of our
chief executive. In our own internal
matters it is cur privilege to differ as
we may. but in facing foreign foe we
should present united front.
