Royal Belgians in Wall Visit Public Buildings and King Takes Flight in Air King Albert and Queen Elizabeth of Belgium rushed through a sightseeing tour around New York city, a la American, yesterday afternoon and saw so much that their time was crowded. They enjoyed it immensely, however, entering into the American spirit of hustle.

The King was so impressed that at every turn he exclaimed "Wonderful!" The royal visitors made an Inspection of the Astor Library at Fifth ave, and 42d Manhattan. A spectacle not In the original Itinerary was an involuntary bath for a score of persons. The score, a fraction of the many thousands eager to see the King and Queen, stood in the basins of the fountains on the Library lawn. Unaware of their vantage point, some one inside suddenly decided the scene would be much prettier with the fountain running and turned on the water. The score got wet and scrambled quickly for a dry spot.

No one was hurt and everybody except the unwilling bathers laughed. The visitors were given an enthusiastic greeting as their automobile hove i sight. The cheers reverberated along the avenue, thousands of lusty lunged men and women cheering mightily. From the buildings along the line showers of confetti rained upon the procession and long thin streamers of paper intertwined so that the scene wore a real festive aspect. Inside the Library were delegates of welfare organizations that did war work abroad.

The King and Queen were met at the door by L. C. Bedford, president of the Library's board of trustees, and W. Wr. Appleton, a member of the board.

Many well known citizens cheered and applauded when the famous visitors were escorted inside. Before the whirlwind tour around the city, the King flew over it in a big naval hydroairplane. The flight started and finished at Governor's Island. "It was a grand spectacle," was the King's comment, after he alighted. The King was accompanied bv his adjutant, Count d'Oultremont, and Maj.

Hoffman, U. S. A. The crew of the plane consisted of Ensign Frank Lamb, pilot: Ensign Paul W. Carter.

The sightseeing started in the Wool-worth Building where tho King and his party went through the entire building, including the Irving National Bank, where they observed American methods of banking. From there the party went to the New York Stock Exchange, where the offices were examined. As the King appeared on the balcony he was recognized 'and given three rousing cheers. The King thanked the brokers nd remarked that his visit had been extremely in teresting.

Amid another salvo of cheers the King party left the building and crossed Wall st. to the United States sub-Treasury building. Two score stalwart bluecoats of the traffic department, known as tha Mayor's official body guard, flanked the cars of the King and Prince, as they passed through the narrow lane formed about the visitors bv the crowd of about 15.000 gathered in the trading thoroughfare below Exchange pi. A visit to the Chamber of Commerce in Liberty st. followed.

Then came the Guaranty Trust from where the automobiles proceeded to the Aquarium at the Battery. After OF THE FOREIGN OFFICE AT THE CITY OF MEXICO fit v.

TO BELGIAN RULER ON WAY TO BOSTON Grants First Interview Since Ar rival-Offers Toast "To the Health of the President" King Albert, Queen Elizabeth and Prinu of Belgium ended their visit in New York City at midnight last night. Aboard a.

special train they rolled out of the Penn fetation en route for Boston. As King Albert was about to board the special train he shook the hands nf newsDauermen and made the following statement, which is the first interview obtained irom me obi-gian ruler since he landed on American soil last Thursday: "I wish you wouia convey tnrougn the newspapers our sincere thanks for the splendid receptions we have received in your wonderful city and the beautiful sense of sympathy your people have shown for our country. We have all been impressed with what we have seen of your city. We also wish to thank the newspapers for their sympathetic reception." At the conclusion of the interview the King expressed the hope, that the royal party would be able to see more of the city after their tour of the country had ended. The King and the Crown Prince were guests last night at a dinner in the Kits Carlton, at which Deputy Police Commissioner Rodman nana' maker was host, and later at a meet ing of the American Legion, in Madl son Square Garden.

At the dinner King Albert proposed a toast "To the health of the President of the United States." Everywhere men and 'women stormed to get near the King and the Crown Prince, to impress him with the Nation's welcome and felicitations. At Madison Square Garden, King Albert received one of the greatest ovations since his arrival. Per- hups 20,000 persons packed inside of the Garden and maybe SO, 000 persons outside of it, to give him a greeting which was as cordial and enthusiastic as any given him so far. In the gathering were many thousands of French and Belgians, it seemed, for on every hand echoed the greeting: "Vive la Roi!" with that gusto and enthusiasm that sounded like the real article from Brussels and Paris. At every place where he stopped the King was Importuned to say something.

And in Madison Square Garden the entire audience stood up and shouted, "Speech! Speech!" when it became apparent that His Majesty was not scheduled for an address. The charming manners of the King and his warm-hearted democracy delighted all those with whom he came In contact At Mr. Wanamaker's dinner many persons were introduced to him and for each one he had a pleasant word. The dinner at the Rltz Carlton was attended by one woman, Commander Eva Booth, the Salvation Army. The King spoke with her longer than with any other person present.

Those who overheard scraps of the conversation declared that King Albert expressed his gratitude for the great work of the Salvation Army abroad. There were no speeches at the dinner. The introduction and greetings followed the reception. One of the Secret Service men assigned to safeguard the royal visitors, presented the newspaper reporters to King Albert. He shook hands with each one and told them he was very pleased to meet them and passed cigars to all.

During the ceremonies the Crown Prince stood by, giving no sign of interest. The Prince, who was a private in the Belgian Army during the war, enjoyed the wine and pro-rounced it "exquiRlte." He Just stood by while his father was the center of attraction, as though he were a guard instead of the heir to the Belgian throne. The King and his party left the Rltz-Carlton at 8:45. The King and Mr. Wanamaker rode alone in the first automobile.

They went to Madison Square Garden, where the King and trw Prince were received as guests of the Legion. As the party approached the Madison ave. side of the Garden a woman's cry gave the signal for a mighty ovation. Inside the Garden, the greeting sounded even louder. Above the roar of the American greeting, the shrill "Vive le Roi!" echoed from various parts of the crowd.

The King and the Crown Prince sat down on the platform where the chairman and speakers were. Francis Robbins chairman of the Legion meeting, welcomed them and there was another outburst of cheering which lasted for five minutes. Mr. Robbins introduced Assistant Secretary of the Navy, Franklin D. Roosevelt, who pointed to the King and said: "This is a sample of our Allies." And there was more cneenng.

Mr. Roosevelt made an interesting speech, paying a tribute to the fighting General-King in these words: "It is particularly noteworthy that the keynote of this great gathering Is the fellowship of common service. A King.General. Prince-private, Ambassadors, civilians, officers, privates, rank and file all assembled in indication and proof that the great ideals of civilization which were threatened by arms have been saved by arms. Only a short year has passed since I was privileged to visit the Belgian front and to meet there that inspiring General-King a man who from the day of taking that great determination on August 1, 1914.

had clung to the narrow strip of Belgian soil with a tenacity which gave to all the Allies added strength in the great drive of restoration." The lights were turned out then and the words of "My Belgian Rose" were thrown on the screen. The vast gathering sang that and also "Smile Awhile." Miss Sophie Braslau sang "My Country 'Tis of Thee." and then the multitude began shout for a speech from the King. But the King departed without making a speech. He and the Crown Prince drove at once to the Penn Station, where the special train was waiting to roll them to Boston. Queen Elizabeth was already aboard, she hnd spent a quiet evening, resting after her strenuous afternoon tour of sightseeing.

Gov.

Channlng Cox with hearty hand clasps.

Commander Harker Urges Con struction of 100 Bungalows From Barracks' Materials.

Eagle Bureau, 901 Colorado Building, Washington. October 4 A naval officers' community, composed of 100 residences for use by naval officers and their families, will be established In Brooklyn if Secretary of the Navy Daniels approves a recommemlation made to him by Commander M. P. Harker of the Naval Supply Corps. The plan is to utilize the material In the barracks at Bay Ridge, City Park, and Pelhum Bay, as well as the aviation barracks at Montuuk Point and Kay Shore.

These barracks are all to be torn down In the near future. Commander Harker In writing the Secretary from New York, outlines his plan, declaring that the present acute shortage of dwellings In New York City and vicinity is causing officers of the riavy located there considerable Inconvenience and worry. He says a naval oflicers' community would help the situation and says there are any number of sites in Brooklyn obtainable. Tho present acute shortage of dwellings in New York City and vicinity," says Commander Harker's communication, "is causing officers of the navy atuched to the district, yards and stations, among others, considerable inconvenience and worry. There are many instances of actual hardship.

It is axiomatic that an officer burdened with worry over the care and well being of his family cannot and does not give to the navy the full measure of his ability. The apparent prior policy of the navy has been to Ignore the existence uf families in number as they actually exist, and now the navy has here sufficient quarters to provide for the officers actually there' on duty. "Now, practically everyone in the Navy on duty in New York is confronted with the very serious problem of rinding a place to live. The Navy is now disbanding and selling the extensive barracks at City Park Ciuup, I'elham Bay Camp. Montauk Aviation Station and the Shore Aviation station, In the near future, It is assumed, the receiving ship barracks at Hay Ridge will likewise be abandoned and sold.

The buildings at all of these places must be torn down or sold for salvage at only a portion of their cost and worth. There Is in these ramps entirely sufficient suitable material for the construction of equipment (plumbing fixtures and water piping, etc.) of loo frame houses of sufficient size and quality for the naval officers. "Hut the use of this material for that purpose would prove a highly profitable investment for the Navy. It is believed there is no lack of building sites available for purchase In Brooklyn, and In such location as to be almost adjacent to the fleet supply base, and located on tho excellent subway system of this city. It Is suggested that the construction of 100 frame houses of the bungalow style, with central heating plant, be considered and approved, and that construction be.

It Is possible that 'the construction of the houses as above recommended, Including the cost of building sites, would amount to $500,000. The annual return from these houses (saving commutation of quarters, heat and light) would amount to not less than and after seven years this an nual saving would he a very real one to tup Navy and to tho United Secretary Daniels has been consult ing members of Congress concerning legislation to help naval officers to combat the Increased cost of living.

According to army officials, poor bacon about to be sold from political clubs under the auspices of Dr. Jonathan C. Day, Commissioner of Foods and Markets, while perfectly good bacon remains in warehouses of Army Supply Bases, awaiting an hon orable discharge into the family fry-me can at a orice considerably under that charged by the clubs. Dr. Day gays that he knows nothing omciauy ot the army offer The Zone Supply Officer, Col.

J. M. Carson and his aides feel that their efforts to supply cheap food to the people of New York have not met with the recognition they de serve. The Commissioner last night threw out some oil on the troubled waters by issuing a statement in whicji he said there was a possibility that l.oou,-000 pounds of canned bacon put up by Swift Co. and belonging to the Vnitcd States Army would be offered to the city at 23 cents a pound.

"A profit of 5 cents a pound is necessary," said Dr. Day, "to cover overhead expenses. We cannot go on for-ever asking city employees to manage the food sales. The bacon will be put on sale in the schools and political clubs throughout the city if the rumor proves authentic." He went on to state that the last official offer from the Army was 34 cents a pound. "The city cannot buy food to put on the market," continued the Commissioner.

"We have arranged through a private party to put bacon on the market at 85 cents a pound, in case nothing conies of the rumor that the Army has a large supply of cheaper bacon." The clash over the bacon arose when Commissioner Day wrote a letter to the 100 or more church clubs and Democrat, Republican, Single Tax and Socialist organizations which have offered to sell the succulent slacker pig sides. In this letter, it is said, the Commissioner stated the bacon was regular issue bacon. The Army officials hotly deny this. The disputed bacon, according to officials at the Army Supply Base, remained in the warehouses of Swift Co. If it was ever Intended for the Army, it certainly never joined the colors, they declare.

The fact that the Commissioner will furnish distributing machinery to the clubs while the Army posts a guard each night over its slighted bacon has aroused considerable resentment against the Department of Foods and Markets. The clubs are purchasing the bacon from Swift through M. J. O'Connor of 81 8 Xenox Manhattan. Army officers feel it is a direct slight upon their efforts, inspired by disinterested patriotism, when a man whose name appears on the directory of hotelkeepers was selected as the medium of procuring the next offering of cheap bacon.

They say they would have no quarrel with the commissioner if the bacon he was advising the clubs to take up could be offered at a price under that which the Army must charge, but this, they stoutly maintain, is not the case. RESERVE BOARD SAYS PUBLIC FINDS STRIKES SEND H. C. OF L. SOARING Washington, October 4 Growing consciousness on the part of the general public of the disastrous effect which labor agitation and strikes have on the cost of living was noted in the review of September conditions, issued today by the Federal Reserve Board.

"Public opinion," the review said, "appears to be awakening to the reaction which increased wages and decreased output may have upon commodity prices and the vicious circle which may result." Frem several reserve districts it Was reported also that there was "a growing realization on the part of workmen that their interests are bound up with the interests of the community as a whole and that increased efficiency resulting In greater productivity was imperative." Lessening of production by shortening of hours, decreased efficiency and disinclination to work more than part time "has tended to advance the general price level, but recessions were noted in certain foodstuffs, raw cotton, textiles and hides. The more conservative feeling noted In August continued, with moderation in prices being urged rather than the policy of exacting all the "traffic will bear." In agriculture, the relatively unsatisfactory situation as to wheat was said to be compensated by the excellent prospects for corn. Deficiency of rainfall has damaged tobacco. Further increase in building activity was noted. TO FIND "IXST" A.
