Processions moved through the streets headed by men carrying crosses and includ- tng bands of girls in white, with banners proclaiming Vienna d Chris tian city.
 The Jews left the streets at an early hour and the stores and cafes put up their shutters Rioters clashed with the police guarding the meeting place Of the congress. Num- her of policemen were dragged from their horses and tramrled un- darfoot.
 Many Women Hurt.
 The police in turn slashcd at the rioters with their swords, driving back the large crowds besieging them. Many women were knocked down and trampled in the melee. 4 second band of demonstrators rushed the bridges leading to the protected and the attackers were forced to content themselves with shouting ribaId songs and threats. More trouble Is feared today. Re- ! ports are current that the executive l committee Of the congress Is consid- ering cancelling the meeting to avoid ! q recurrence of the rioting. 1OG Arrests Made.
 The disorders continued until after midnight, The police report 106 ar rests.

THE WILSON PRONiISE"
 TO BELGIUM

Comments of Belgian newspa pers upon the difficulties experienced by the debt settlement commission in the United States were described as bitter" which was 10 have been expected. Yet there is no genuine reason for the Belgian press 10 feel this way about it,
 The claim that the late President Wilson made a promise" regarding the Belgian debtc. and that this ''promise" Is now regarded as a scrap of paper by the United States, is one of those far-fetched ideas that is likely to seize nation brought face to face with the real- ties of debt payment.
 When the debt funding commis- sion arrived in this country it was not thought likely that the Wilson tplSOuc NOulu bf UlOuSh It 'p 'hS front, so tenuous was the claim based upon the Wilsonian prom ise' considered.
 On June 6, 1919. President Will son, together with NJ, Clemenceau and MT Lloyd George. addressed 3 letter to the Belgian minister of foreign affairs stating that they would recommend to their rcspcc- tive governments that Belgium be allowed to pay her war debt with German honds s, which Belgium would receive on her separations account.
 President Wilson, in lne with his recommendation to Belgium, made the recommendation 10 Congress ir 1921. but Congress never acted upon the suggestion.
 At the time President Wilsor made the suggestion to Belgium ht clearly notified that government that the arrangement would depend entirely upon the approval of Con gress; and as this approval was no forthcoming, il is clear that 'h' Wilson promise" if such it cal be called, terminated in nothing.
 IL has been deemed possible tha some arrangement might be mad whereby Belgium might be per rnitted to make part of her in terest payments upon the debt t' the United States contingent upo1 her receiving certain sums iron Germany through inc operation 0 the Dawes plan, but this is anothe matter entirely and will not b definitely known until the nature O the debt settlement Is made public probably within few days.
 Belgium has no reason for heln irrltatcd over the Wilson statement The late president acted in goo faith and told the Belgian oaicia the exact patmo ot the rIrcun stances. Brsiles. the Belgian news papers and public generally ough 10 know fully that ths President C this repubuc cannot make bind ing promise without 'he approval ( Congress, The editors probably ar aware Of this. but r.qulre a Doir Of issue to dispute about In th long run tho BelE'an people vi understand thrrough'r that th" have been rrn tre1t-1 tv th r-nrs4 r..tes in connection or their deh'.
