Chicago, Oct. 1.-THE king of The

train on which the king and his party
are travelling westward was stopped
at Wauseon, Ohio, while his majesty

pilot. The king, who has thorough
knowledge of locomotive engineering
ran the heavy train for ten miles with
out jolt Then he stopped the en-
gine and returned to his car.
The king travelling 'unofficially'
with his queen and the duke of Bra
hant passed through Ohio and Indi-
ana today en- route to California. The
train was stopped for an hour at To
ledo, the home of Brand Whitlock,
American ambassador to Belgium,
where the party received an enthusi-
astic welcome. The stop was made
by the king as personal friend of
Mr. Whitlock and not as an official
visit.
A crowd gathered at the station at
Wauseon but they were looking for a
king in uniform, and did not recognize
the tall figure which climbed out clad
in what might have been the garb of
an engineer, including flannel army
shirt and a cap. But the citizens Of
Wauseon were in no worse plight thaT
many of those travelling on the royal
special. All of them recognized
