President Wilson to King Albert. The following cable message dated at the white house Nov. 15, 1918, was sent to King Albert of Belgium by President Wilson:

"Never has a national holiday occurred at a more auspicious moment, and never have felicitations been more heartfelt than those which it is my high privilege to tender to your majesty on this day.

"When facing imminent destruction, Belgium by her self-sacrifice won for herself a place of honor among nations, a crown of glory, imperishable, though all else were lost.

"The danger is averted, the hour of victory come, and with it the promise of a new life, fuller, greater, nobler than has been known before.

"The blood of Belgium's heroic sons has not been shed in vain. "WOODROW WILSON."

[The national holiday referred to in the president's message is that commemorating the signing of the treaty of London, Nov. 15, 1831, guaranteeing the neutrality of Belgium by Austria, Russia, Great Britain and Prussia -the treaty described by a German statesman in 1914 as merely "a scrap of paper."]

"It is indeed a matter of solemn thanksgiving that the peoples of our two countries. akin in spirit as in speech, should to-day be united in this greatest of democracy's achievements. I thank you and the people of the United States for the high and noble part which you have played in this glorious chapter of history and freedom."

President Wilson to King George. "Your generous and gracious message is most warmly appreciated, and you may rest assured that our hearts on this side of the Atlantic are the more completely filled with joy and satisfaction because we know the great partnership of interests and of sentiments to which we belong.

"We are happy to be associated in this time of triumph with the government and people upon whom we are so sure we can count for co-operation in the delicate and difficult tasks which remain before the high purposes of the war may be realized and established in the reign of equitable justice and lasting peace."

E. M. House to Lloyd George. "Sincere congratulations. No one has done more to bring about this splendid victory than you."

Lloyd George to E. M. House. "Many thanks for your generous telegram. Nothing contributed more to the victory than the prompt response of the president to the

King George to President Wilson. King George of England on the occasion of the anniversary of the entry of the United States into the war. April 6, 1918. sent the following message to President Wilson:

"On the occasion of the anniversary of the momentous decision of the United States to enter into this war for the safeguarding of international right and justice I desire to convey to you, Mr. President, and through you to the American people, the friendly greetings of the entire British nation.

"At this critical hour, when our enemies are sparing, no sacrifice and are counting no cost to achieve victory, the French and British troops stand united, as never before, in their heroic resistance to these endeavors.

"They are buoyed up with the thought that the great democracy of the west, in the same spirit and with the same objects as their own, is putting forth every effort to throw its su preme force into the struggle which will once for all decide the destinies of the free nations of the earth.

"The gallant deeds of Americans on land and sea have already indicated to the enemy that his hope is vain. Every day that passes, as American troops pour in ever increasing numbers into France, diminishes the chances of his success.

"The American people may rest assured that the British empire, now tried by nearly four years of war, will cheerfully make yet further sacrifices. The thought that the United States, under your leadership, is with us heart and soul emboldens us in the determination, with God's help, finally to destroy the designs of the enemy and to re-establish on the earth the rule of right and justice."

"The people of the United States have looked with profound interest and sympathy upon the efforts and sacrifices of the Italian people, and are deeply and sincerely interested in the present and future security of Italy. They are glad to find themselves associated with a people to whom they are bound by so many personal and intimate ties in a struggle whose object is liberation, freedom, the rights of men and nations to live their own lives and determine their own fortunes; the rights of the weak as well as the strong, and the maintenance of justice by the irresistible force of free nations leagued together in the defense of mankind. With ever increasing resolution and force we shall continue to stand together in this sacred common cause. "America salutes the gallant kingdom of Italy and bids her godspeed."
