League Signifies Justice
Backed By POWer of the
World, Says President

BRUSSELS, June 2o.-President
Wilson, responding to his welcome
here, spoke as follows:
Your majesty and gentlemen: 1t
is with such profound emotion that
/ express my deepest appreciation
Of the generous welcome you have
given me that 1 am not at all sure
that 1 can find the words to say
what is in my heart to say.
NJ. Hymans has repeated to you
some of the things which America
tried to do to show her profound
friendship and sympathy with Bel
GUM, but NJ. Hymans was not able
to testify, as 1 am, to the heart OF
America that was back Of her eff
forts, for America did not do these
things merely because she con-
ceived IL her duty to do them, but
because she rejoiced in this way to
show her real humanity and her real
knowledge Of these needs of an old
and faithful friend; and these
things, 1 hope, will be dearer in
your memory because OF the spirit
which was behind them. They were
small in themselves.
High Words For BeIEianS.
We often had the feeling that we
were not doing as much as we could
do. We knew au'the time that we
were not doing as much as we
wanted to do, and it is this spirit,
and not what was done, which de-
serves, I hope. to be remembered.
1t is very delightful to find my
self at last in Belgium. ] have

was relieved from imperative duty.
could not come for my own
pleasure and in neglect Of duty to
a country where I knew I should
meet a sovereign who had con-
stantly identified himself with the
interests and the life of his people
at every necessary sacrifice to
himself; where I should be greeted
by a burgomaster who never al
lowed the enemy to thrust him
aside and always asserted the
majesty and authority of the mu-
nicipality which he represented;
where 1 should have the privilege
Of meeting a cardinal who was the
true shepherd Of his flock and the
majesty of whose spiritual au-
thority awed even the unscrupu-
lous enemy himself, who knew
that they did not dare lay a hand
upon this servant of God, and
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1919-06-20

where I should have the privilege
Of grasping the hand OF general
who never surrendered and on ev-
cry hand should meet men who
had known their duty and done it
Sought To Honor BeIgianE.
I could not come to Belgium until
/ felt that 1 was released from my
duty. l sought in this way to honor
you by recognizing the spirit which
1 knew 1 should meet with here.
When ] realize that at my back
are the fighting standards of Bel
GUM, it pleases me to think that
am in the presence of those who
know how to shed their blood as
well as do their duty for their
country. They need no encomium
from me.
. I would rather turn for a mo-
ment with you to the significance
of the place which Belgium, bears
in this contest which, thank God, is
ended.
came here because I wished to
associate myself in counsel with the
men who 1 knew had felt so deeply
the pulse of this terrible struggle,
and I wanted to come also because 1
realized, I believe, that Belgium
and her part in the war is in one
sense the key to the whole struggle,
because the violation of Belgium
was the call to duty which aroused
the nations.
Initial Outrage Fundamental.
The enemy committed many out
RACES in this war, gentlemen, but
the initial outrage was the funda-
mental outrage OF all. They. with
an insolent indifference violated
the sacredness OF treaties. They
showed that they did not care for
the independence of any nation,
whether 1t had raised its hand
against them or not; that they
were ruthless in their determine
ton to have their within at their
pleasure
Therefore, 1t was the violation
Of Belgium that awakened the
world to their realization of the
character Of the struggle. A very
interesting thing came out Of that
struggle. which seems almost like
an illogical consequence. One of
the first things that the repre-
sentatives of Belgium said to me
after the war began was that they
did not want their neutrality
guaranteed; they did not want any
neutrality. They wanted equality,
not because, as I understood them,

Wallace Reid, Star.

Whether the role be that OF
crude, rough. laborinE man or a
polished society swell. Wallace Reid
always deeply impresses his audi
enCc with his true-to-Iife interpre-
tatiOn of the character. Mr.. Reid
has made a profound study of each
Characterization he portrays and
this accounts for his splendid Ver-
satility. His popularity as an actor
is constantly increasing. With his
forCeful, comprehensive power of
Interpretation, he touches a SYM
pathetic chord in the minds of all
alike. In his latest picture, Alias
Mike Moran" which comes to Loew's
Palace next week. Mr.. Reid is seen
as a young department store sales
man who thought he was a bit too
nice to serve his country. When
drafted, he changes names with an
eX-convict whom he had befriended,
the two men having decided phys
ical resemblance. The eN-convict
dies a hero's death, thus covering
the slacker's name with glory. This
arouses the manhood in the Stacker
and he came into his own. A de-
lightful romance is woven into the
story.

The character of Boots" in
which Dorothy Gish will be seen at
Loew's Palace Theater today, ac-
,tually lives, instead of being just
a picture girl. Dorothy says that
when she was in London during
the war she saw this little slavey
and watched her closely.
She made my heart ache" she
said, because she was abused
from morning until night by an
old wretch of a landlady who
seemed to think her chief form of

tie girl breaking her back over
some kind of work. l used to feel
so sorry for her that my sister Lii

Better ole" IN Films.

The Better ole" which is being
presented by Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
D. Cobburn, at the Cort Theater.
New York, had it's first projection
as a motion picture last week,
played by the members of the Eng
lish cast which appeared in the COM
edy in London.
The scenario was adapted from
Capt. Bruce Bairnsfather's cartoons,
but it is announced that the photo
play is in no sense a war picture"
1t is a comedy that carries a mes
sage of good cheer from those who
fought for principle and love of jus
tice but who never forgot the laugh.
Tears are not to be found in it.
Capt. BaiTnsfather's well-knOwn
characters, Old Bill, Bert and Alf,
are seen as the three modern
musketeers who share each others
fortune and only are able to see the
funny side of each situation. The
film was produced in London under
the direction of George Pierson, the
scenario being the work of Arthur
Eliot.

earlier statements which came on
from the Coast before the picture
arrived in New York. to the effect
that The objectionable Sin" is one

we are all fortunate enough to
choose the proper outlet for our
energies, else there would be no
failures. A search for it, however,
Undeniably is worth the while.
1T is believed by many that true
ambition will make opportunity for
itself. but that is a thing easier
said than done. Opportunity is es-
sentially the first step and the first
step is necessary. Everything has
a way of depending on the foun-
dat1on. you know, no matter what
the building is to be, and the career
on the stage is not the exception.
The choosing of ones life work,
the selection of the vehicle for
ambition must in every instance be
individual. The old adaEe What is

that career is on the sage or in
