they were not optimistic on the
progress that is being made.
Another of President Wilson en-
tourage said the real issue was
whether President Wilson'S princi-
pie Of self-determination was to be
upheld. The president, he said, did
not regard this as a principle which
should be applied when favorable
TO the entente and not applied in
all cases alike. Just now, it was
asserted, the issues over Danzig, the
Sarre valley and the region west
of the Rhine brought up this prin-
ciple OF self-determination, as it was
not clear that the transfer of terri
torial control of these localities
would be in accordance with the
wishes and determination of their
peoples.
King Albert Visits President.
King Albert of Belgium figured
prominently during today's confer
encc. The Belgian monarch called
on Colonel House at II o'clock in
the morning and later saw President
Wilson before the arrival of David
Lloyd George, Premier Clemenceau
and Signor Orlando.
The conference between King AL
bert and President Wilson is de-
scrlbed as having been most cordial.
Belgian questions are said to have
been discussed in most satisfactory
spirit on both sides. 1t was ar
ranged that King Albert should
meet the council of four tomorrow
for a presentation of Belgian repara-
ton and territorial claims.
The call of King Albert on Col
onel House was a decided novelty
ior which veterans Of royal pro-
cedure said there was no precedent.
The king wore the uniform of COM
mander-i chief Of the Belgian army
and was accompanied by staff Off
Ger. He was met at the entrance
of the residence of Colonel House
by the colonel himself who escorted
him to his private office, where
series of conferences constantly is
going on.
1t is understood that King Albert
drew attention during his talk with
Colonel House to Belgium's vital in
terests in frontier and other ques-
tons which are now reaching cul-
minating stage, and also spoke of
his interest in having Brussels chos-
EN- as the seat of the league of ma
tons.
A Swiss delegation which called
on Colonel House after King Albert
had departed is understood to have
made offers on behalf of Geneva as
the seat of the league, which off
set the Brussels offer of the royal
palace. The Swiss offer included a
tender of an extensive domain a
short distance from Geneva, border
ing the lake.
