AND MRS. WILSON
 D|NED BY BELGIUM RULERS
Cardinal Mercer Was Among the Other Distinguished Guests Present-President Wilson Addressed King Albert Both as an Individual and Representative of the People of the United States

l have caught any glimpse of their spirit and their character, do not need
 to have anybody take care of them. They need because of the catastrophies Of this war, temporary assistance to get the means to take care of them selves, but the moment they have these means, then the rest of us will have to take care to see that they do not do the work they are addicted to do better than we do. The minute we cease to offer this assistance they will
 become our generous and dangerous
 rivals, and for my part I believe I car, say truthfully that the people of the l United States want the people of Be-
 gium to recover their power, to be ri
 vals in those fields in which they have l for so long time proved themselves
 masters.
 Tt is, therefore, with a peculiar feeling Of being among a people that 1 understand, that I have found my self under your guidan;e, sir, touch
 ing shoulders with the people of Bel
 gium today. When I went to the great destroyed plant of Charleroi, though
 most of the chimneys were smokeless.
 the whole region seemed like so many
 regions l am familiar with in my own
 country, and if the air had orly been full of smoke. I should have felt en-
 tlrely at home The air was too clear~to , be natural in such a region, and yet I , had the feeling that smoke was going to come in its old abundance from those chimneys and the world of in- : duStry was once more going to feel the , pulse of Belgium, that vital pulse which no Encouragement can restrain. } So it is with heart full of gen , uine sympathy. of comradship and 3 friendship that I beg to drink to your health, sir, and the queens, and to the I long and abounding prosperity of the !, kingdom over which you preside" '-- At a reception in his honor tonight q at the Hotel De Vile, President Vii ,. son spoke as follows:
 : "Mr.. Burgomaster: I fell highly e honored to be received with such e words from you, sir, speaking as the
 representative of this ancient munich : pality with so many distinguished n events associated with it's sturdy in
 dependence and self government and
 feel the more honored, sir, because q the whole world recognizes in you a = worthy representative of this great v municipality.
 . T think the reflection which comes .e uppermost in ones mind in thinking 'i about this war is that no nation is a conquered that is not conquered in its II spirit; that an unconquerable spirit is -e the last word in politics and that the
 unconquerable spirit lives particular y ly in those nations which are self-gov- Is erned The one thing that is indes- ie tructible in our time is the spirit ot II self governed people,"

 Let me express, sir the very deep appreciation with which 1 have heard your remarks. You truly say that have come to Belgium to express my own deep personal interest and sym pathy-sympathy with her sufferings and interest in her prosperity; but l would have no personal consequence if 1t were not my privilege for the time being to represent the people of the United States.
 What gives me confidence in ex- pressing this sympathy and this in | terest is that I know that in expres;- ing those sentiments I am expressing the feelings of>the people of the United
 States. There Mas never been in the l United States a more general and uni versal comprehension of sympathy with
 the affairs of another nation than that which the people of the United States 1 have had for the affairs and the peo- pie of Belgium.
 "l have had the very great advan- tage of seeing the little that I have had time to see of the experiences O Belgium under your guidance, and
 know how true it is, sir, that you speal for your people. One of the delight ful experiences of these last days ha. been to hear the acclaim from tn heart which everywhere greeted l. rol. Their first cry was for their king
 their second thought was the welcom
 for the stranger, and I was glad in m
 heart that it should be so, because
 know that I was with a real statesman
 and real ruler. No man has any pow
 CT, sir, except that which is given hir
 by the things and people he represent. I have felt many points of sympa thy between the people whom I hay : the pleasure of representing and tn people whom you represent They are very democratic peo pie, and it has been very delightful t
 hnd, sir, that you are true demo crat. All real masters of the senti ments of the people are parts of tn
