King Albert a Regular
Democrat, Says President
In Royal Dinner Speech

BRUSSELS. June 2i.-At the din
ner given in honor Of President and
Mrs. Wilson by the King and Queen
OF Belgium. with Cardinal MERCER
and other distinguished guests pres
ent, the President. addressing King
Albert. spoke as follows:
Let me express, sir, the very deep
appreciation with which, have heard
your remarks. You truly say that |
have come to Belgium to express my
own deep personal interests and sym
pathy-sympathy with her sufferings
snd interests in her prosperity; but 1
would have no personal consequences
II il were not my privilege for the
time being to represent the people Of
the United States.
Q. S. Sympathy Deep.
what gives me confidence in ex-
pressing this sympathy and this in
terest is that l know in expressing
those sentiments that ! am express
ing the feelings OF the people of the
United States. There has never been
in the United States a more general
and universal comprehension of GYM
pathy with the affairs OF another ma
ton than that which the people of
the United States have had for the
AFFAIRS and the people of Belgium.
Il have had the very great advan-
tage Of seeing the little that l have
had time to see of the experience
Of Belgium under your guidance, and
l know how true il is, sir. that you
speak for people. One of the delight
full experiences Of these last days has
been to hear the acclaim from the
heart which everywhere greeted lie
roi. Their first cry was for their
king, their second thought was the
welcome of the stranger, and 1 was
glad in my heart that it should be so,
because l know that / was with a
real statesman and a real ruler. No
man has any power. sir. except that
which is given him by the things and
people he represents.
Praise for Belgian Spirit.
Il have felt many points of SYM
pathy between the people whom I
have the pleasure OF representing
and the people whom you represent.
They are a very democratic people,
and IL has been very delightful to
ind, sir. that you are a true demo-
crat. All real masters Of the senti-
The Washington times., 1919-06-21

ments OF the people are parts of the
people. and one OF the thing that give
confidence in the future Of Belgium is
the consciousness that one has of the
Belf-reliance and infomitable spirit OF
her people. They need to have a
friendly hand extended to them, Out
they do not nee dto have anybody
take care of them,
"A people that is taken care of by
its government is a people that its
government will always have to take
care of. but the people OF Belgium.
IL have caught any glimpse Of their
spirit and their character. do not
need TO have anybody take care Of
them. They need. because OF the
catastrophe of this war, temporary
assistance to get the means to take
care of themselves, but the moment
they have these means the rest of US
will have to take care to see that they
do not do the work they are addicted
10 do better than we do. The minute we
cease to OFFER this assistance they
will become our generous and dan
gerous rivals, and for my part, be-
lieve 1 can say truthfully that the
people OF the United States want the
people of Belgium to recover their
power, to be rivals in those fields in
which they have for so long time
proved themselves masters.
Predicts Industrial Revival.
at is therefore with q peculiar feel
ing OF being among a people that l
understand that have found myself
under your guidance. sir, touching
shoulders with the people Of Belgium
today When l went to the great
destroyed plant Of the Charleroi,
though most of the chimneys were
smokeless, the whole region seemed
like so many regions I am familiar
with in my own country, and II the
air had only been full of smoke l
should have felt entirely at home.
The air was too clear to be natural In
such a region. and yet I had the feel
ing that smoke was going to come in
its old abundance from those chimneys
and the world of industry was once
more going to feel the pulse or Bel
GUM, that vital pulse which no dis
couragement can restrain.
$50 1t is with heart full Of genuine
sympathy, OF comradeship and OF
friendship that l beg to drink to your
health, sir, and the queens, and to
the long and Astounding prosperity OF
the kingdom over which you preside"

CITY CLUB IDEA
SPREADS OVER j. S.

A nationwide movement for the
establishment OF city clubs in all OF
the large municipalities as the incar-
sulting from the war will result from
the success in the formation of the
Washington City Club. in the opinion
of leaders OF the project here.
Two cities already have signified
their intention OF establishing clubs
patterned after the Washington or
ganization, and word Is reaching the
club daily of prominent persons in
many parts of the country who have
heard of the success OF the movement
here and who have become enthusi-
astic over the project.
Bristol Plans Club.
The club today sent detailed infor,
nation concerning the movement to
the Bristol (Tenn.) Chamber of Com
merce. which heard of the organiza-
'tion OF the club here and wrote for
facts that would guide the people of
Bristol in forming a similar club.
Prominent New York financiers have
become interested in the club here,
have taken out nonresident member
TO start a similar club in New York.
THE success of the city club move
ment in Washington is destined to
start a nation wide movement for the
formation OF similar clubs" today de-
clared Charles F. Nesbit, former Com
missioner OF Insurance for the Dis
trict and one OF the leaders OF the
club. "a few of the large cities, like
Boston, Chicago, and St Louis, have
had city clubs for years, but those
cities were a little ahead of their
time.
Never has there been a more aus
picious occasion for the launching of
the city club movement. for the move
ment typifies a new era. a new social
order. Few people realize fully the
significance OF the city club move
ment. 1t is more than merely the
forming of a new club. 1t is the
forming of a club on entirely new
principles. 1t is radical and revolu-
tionary, for 1t tears down Anticipated
social and class lines and recognizes
the brotherhood OF man, universal de-
mocracy, real equality.
Only Qualifications.
THE only qualifications for mem
bership are high character and good
community standing. Wealth, busi-
ness, profession, politics, religious be-
lief, achievements-all count for
nothing. And the initiation fee and
dues are so reasonable that the man
Of average means can join"
Plans are progressing for the big
meeting of members of the club to
be held next Wednesday night at
Rauscher's. About 1000 persons are
expected to attend.
While the site committee is search
ing the downtown section for a loca-
tion within two blocks OF Thirteenth
and G streets northwest, for the pro-
posed $1,O00,000 club house, applica-
tions for membership continue to pour
into the club. Less than 400 new
members will be admitted.
