 WELCOMES KING : AND CONSORT

They were greeted with the ceremony due reigning monarchs, but beneath the formalities they must have felt the ungrudging admiration bestowed upon heroic soldier and his devoted queen. sesag The guns of the New Mexico, flag. ship of the Pacific fleet, boomed deep throated salute as they crossed the bay from Oakland. and King Al bert dined tonight upon the super dreadnaught which flies Vice Admi- ral ROdman's four starred pennant
 The king entered here upon the second phase of his tour of the United States. He made the earnest plea he has voiced thus far for his stricken country.
 Her determination to live causes her to strain every effort" he said. She asks the sympathy and the help of those powerful friends who already have aided her in her misfortune.
 With simple dignity his majesty responded to the welcome given him by Governor Stevens, Mayor Rolph and Herbert Hoover, devoted friend of the hosts of hungry refugees whose gratitude sounds for him a daily ben ediction.
 Cheered, it seemed, by half the city's population, Albert, Elizabeth and the Duke of Brabant rode through two and half miles of Market street from the ferry to the city hall through a lane of men and women. In the splendid rotunda of the municipal building, they were made honorary citizens of San Francisco. His majes- ty expressed his appreciation and his consort was showered with flowers grown under the far western sun. Her triumph was no less than that oi her husband.
 It was at a luncheon in honor of the king and his aides at the Palace hotel that his majesty made his most important speech of the day.
 More than a thousand men and women stood and cheered him fran tically as he rose to respond to the addresses of welcome. In the uni form of a lieutenant general, his breast bare of decorations, his face was grave as he looked out over the faces before him and paid heart felt tribute to the Californians who had done so much to aid his people. Put first of all, in his simple English, he voiced his thanks to Hoover, only to be halted by applause.
 When he had finished he was pre- sented, in behalf of five commercial organizations, with silver fruit and flower dish together with honorary membership in each of the organiza- tions.
 The queen was absent from the luncheon, attending one given in her honor at the St. Francis by the wom- en of San Francisco, but Prince Leo- bold sat near his father and blushed with a boys embarrassment when he rose to acknowledge an introduction by Mayor Rolph.
 The queen, gowned in white, with a long, loose coat of brown velvet, with furs and hat to match, captivated the women who lunched with ner. Many pairs of white gloves were rent by hand clapping when her majesty was presented by Brand Whitlock, ITnited States ambassador to Belgium, who shares with Hoover the gratitude of the nation. Her majesty was at tended by her lady in waiting, Coun- tess de Caraman-C Chimay, and Mrs. Whitlock. Later she received the Belgian relief workers of the city at the Palace.
 After the luncheon the queen re- joined her husband and the whole Belgian party went for long motor ride about the city. MT. Hoover rode with his majesty and as they climbed into their car Albert accepted a cigar which he smoked with evident enjoy ment.
 Before the dinner on the New Mex ico, Albert inspected the great ship with interest and showed his famll' iarity with all kinds of machinery. In response to the welcome of Admiral Rodman at the dinner he paid warm tribute to the services of the Ameri- can navy.
 CT am happy to find myself on
  board the flagship of this brilliant Pacific fleet and to be able to salute in her the magnificent navy of the United States" said King Albert.
 Tt is impossible to exaggerate the services that your fleet rendered not only to the armies but to the civil population in keeping open the paths of the sea.
 without it the soldiers would not have had ammunition, the women ana children would have gone without bread. The American navy has added a new page to its glorious record.
 'T thank you for what it has done Cor Reisium. I felicitate it on the admirable spectacle that you gave me today on board this splendid man of war"
