MARSHALL REPRESENTS PRESIDENT

During the illness of President
Wilson, Vice President Thomas r.
Marshall represents the president in
many matters, though he does not
sign any documents which require the
signature Of the president, nor does
he in any way trespass on the pre-
negatives of the president.
Recently Vice President Marshall
received King Albert and Queen Eliz-
abeth of Belgium when they arrived in
New York to visit the United States.
Mr.. Marshall received the distin-
guished visitors in the name of the
president Of the United States.
This represents in a general way
the sort of service he viii continue to
do for the president until Mr.. Wilson
is able to return to his duties. For
the time being Vice President Marshall
is not scheduled to meet with the
cabinet. The business of the general

BELGIAN KING WARMLY WELCOMED

Bearing the thanks of their nation
to the United States and its people,
the king and queen of the Belgians,
with Prince Leopold, heir apparent,
the first reigning family ever to visit
this country, stepped upon American

Beginning his mission even before
his formal welcome had begun, the
soldier king issued a message to the
American people. In part it was as
follows:
"The king brings to this nation of
friends the testimony Of the profound
sentiment and gratitude of his country
men for the powerful aid, moral and
material, which America gave them in
the course of the war. The name of the
commission for the relief of Belgium
will live eternally in the memory Of

splendid army, and their courageous
navy powerfully served a great ideal"
