King Albert's Son
Hopes toComplete
Education i'm L. S.
Future Belgian Ruler Is
Much Impressed With
American Universities:
Enjoys Trip in the West

ON BOARD KING ALBERT'S TRAIN,
Oct. 20.-The Duke of Brabant, heir
apparent to the throne of Belgium,
hopes to finish his education in the
United States. He is eager to win a
degree at some great American uni
versity which breathcs the spirit of
democracy.
Royal etiquette rather irks Prince
Leopold. He said to-day that he was
profoundly impressed with Harvard,
which he visited two weeks ago The
coming King of Belgium has inherited
his fathers love of machinery and en-
gineering and would prefer to special
ize along those lines, but realizes that
the responsibilities which will be his
demand the broadcst possible educa-
tion.
Leopold already has learned some of
the arts of diplomacy. Intensely in
terested in all he has seen in America,
he declined to compare the East with
the West or to say which most appealed
to him. The trip has been an endless
JOY to him and he has viewed it with
all the enthusiasm of any normal lad
Of eighteen. His chief regret has been
that he could not stop longer at each
place, for he is fond of tramping,
horseback riding and motorcyclng.
Since he began his transcontnental
tour he has learned new sport which
he regards as the most fascinating of
all and that is locomotive driving He
likes it almost as we'll as the King him
self and expressed keen disappointment
that he could not have gone with his
father last night to ride over the Santa
Fe in the largest locomotive in the
world. Prince Leopold was delighted
with the cowboy and Indian show near
Albuquerque yesterday afternoon, but
has one regret. II wish there had

Republicans Want
Congress to Adjourn
Few Weeks Rest Next Month
Suggested by Mondell; Sen.
ate Leaders Doubtful

WASHINGTON, Oct. Z0-Republican
Leader Mondell to-day told the House
it was the intention Of the Republican
leaders to have Congress adjourn No
vember or 10, so members could have
few weeks rest before the beginning
of the regular session early in De-
cember.
Senate leaders generally expressed
the opinion, however, that it would be
impossible to bring about an adjourn
ment of Congress- by the date men,
toned by Mondcll because anywhere
from ten days to six weeks would be
to complete nsderation of
the German peace treaty, and after
that railroad legislation will be up for
consideration.
From the White House came init
nations that should Congress adjourn
without enacting railroad legislation
President Wilson would not hesitate to
recall the body, holding that with the
railroads to be returned to private
ownership on January legislation fix
ing their status after that date must
be passed before early December, when
the regular session Of the Sixty-sixth
Congress is convened.

LONDON, Oct. 20.-Major Waldorf
Astor told the New York Tribune cor
respondent to-day that in his opinion
the report that the State of New York
would not collect dollar in inheri-
tance tax from the Astor estate is er-
roneous. He emphasized this beilef
in view of the preparations made by
his father to comply with British law,
and believed his intentions toward
American law were the same.
Certainly no attempt to evade the
British death duties is contemplated
it was said Major Astors belief is
that, although his fathers American
holdings were transferred a few
months ago as trust for his children.
the state can still collect on the prin-
cipal.
s. As for the Astor estate in this coun-
try, there will be little change. 1t has
be- long been operated as limited COM
pany, with the children as shareholders.
When Viscount Astor of Hever turned
over the remainder Of his fortune in
trust for his children, he kept less
than million dollars for himself.
Preparations were made to-day for
the Viscount's funeral, which will take
place Wednesday morning at St.
Georges Chapel IN hanover square.
1t will be public.
AS the result of being raised to the
peerage by his fathers death, Maj or
Astor will give up his seat in the
House of Commons and also plans to
resign as parliamentary secretary in
the Ministry of Food.
Although Viscount Astor died early
Saturday morning the news of his
death did not reach London until late
last night and as a result this morn
ing's newspapers carried the first re-
port of his death. All of them carried
columns of obituaries and apprecia-
tions of the man whose wealth and
writings made him a figure in Anglo
American life.
LONDON, Oct. 21.--"It is suggested
that the new Lady Astor might be
asked to contest for the seat in Parlia
ment for Plymouth in succession to
her husband, Waldorf Astor, who now
becomes Viscount Astor." say "The-
Daily Mail"
The newspaper adds that apparently
there is nothing to prevent a peeress
from being returned in the House OF
Commons, where women now are
eligible"
