BRUSSELS MAYOR SAYS u. s.
TWICE SAVED BELGIUM

Brussels, Dec. Herbert r. Hoo
yer, American food administrator, and
former head of the committee for re-
lief in Belgium, was the guest Of
honor tonight at reception in the city
hall. Burgomaster Max, in a speech
welcoming Mr.. Hoover to Brussels, of
which city he was recently elected a
citizen said in part:
"1n greeting the friend Of the Bel
gian nation, am interpreting the feel
ings Of 100000 human beings saved
from famine, exhaustion and death.
When the torments were let loose on
Belgium our eyes were turned to the
United States. We knew that great
people would not allow justice to sue
cumb or permit civilization and the
future of humanity to become the play
things Of a preying race.
"Our country twice was saved by
yours, for the intervention of the U.
s. armies which decided the result of
the war and delivered our territory
would have freed nothing but a vast
cemetery if it had not been preceded
by the magnificent war work to which
the name of Hoover will forever be
attached"

LIEUT.. HANCOCK AND
SGT. CALDWELL FALL
AND WRECK PLANE

Santa Fe, n. NJ. Dec. l0.-Lieuten-
ant G. l.. Hancock, of the U. S. avia-
tion service, narrowly escaped serious
injury this morning as he rose with
his Curtis aeroplane at Chapelle, N.
NJ, and in attempting to dodge a tele-
phone pole crashed into the teregraph
wires near the Santa Fe railroad track.
The lieutenant was unhurt and Sergt.
Caldwell, who was with him, also es-
capped injury, but the machine was
wrecked. 1t will be shipped to Wash
ington in a box car. Lieut.. Hancock
and Sergt. Caldwell are expected to
arrive here this evening by train.
Lieut.. Aubineau, of Flagstaff, Ariz.,
and Lieut.. A. W. Graham, of Kansas
City, Mo-, arrived here in their aero
planes this morning and are now wait
ing for Lieut.. Hancock upon whose ar
rival plans of the three aviators will
be announced.
AS Lieut. Graham circled around
Santa Fe he was just about mile up
in the air, ard adding 1000 fee, the
altitude OF Santa Fe, it will be under
stood why he felt trifle chilly. De-
spite the warmth of the cheering hum
dreds who gazed with delight as his
big Curtiss Gear" the Lieut. was brav-
ing the temperature found at 10000
above sea level, and the carburetor of
his Hispano-Suisse engine was also
complaining of high altitude"
After posing for a picture the avia-
tor jumped into a motor car and was
driven up town.
"Yes, it was cold" said the lieuten-
ant, after he alighted near the Indian
school
The lieutenant and the other avia-
tors may remain here several days, it
was said, awaiting orders from Wash
ington. They may proceed from San
Ia Fe to the Pacific coast.
The delay in Las Vegas was ex-
planned by the aviator as due to trou-
BILE he had with his airplane. At Camp
Optimo he ran into wire fence and
several rods were bent.
The delay in Chapelle, 25 miles this
side of Las Vegas, was attributed to
high winds.
