PRESIDENT WILSON'S (By United Press.) » Washington, Oct: 2.—President Wilson’s condition this morning was not at all good, according to a state- ment issued by Dr. Cary T. Grayson, the president’s personal physician. Dr. Grayson called into consulta- tion a nerve specialist of Philadelphid and conferred with two prominent navy physicians. The president is in a highly ner- vous condition, it was stated, al- though no alarming symptoms have developed. Friends and physicians have great difficulty in keeping him away from his work. The physician stated he believed the president well on the road to recovery and pointed out cases of the same character, which may become serious day to day without greatly affecting the general progress toward recovery.

It is seldom that I am able to detect here things or conditions which call for criticism or censure. In fact, as a®rule, and almost invar- iably, I think of Remidji as an ideal city of contented people and happy homes, alert, enterprising and pro- gressive. It is a matter ol pride with me to feel justified at all times and on ‘all ocgasions, whereever I am, to tell of the advantages and worth of Bemidji-and of my confi- dence in the attainments which the future is certain to bring to it. And it is always gratifying to me to hear others, both residents and strangers, speak in words of praise of our city and to refer to it, as one of the prom- inent public officials of the state did recently, as ‘‘the city that is to Northern Minnesota what the Twin Cities are to the'State of Minnesota.” " Wished More Action. *“In: my optimism. though, I have often-sensed a feeling of disappoint-- ment and regret that there was not a more active community effort here —that the real, true, ardent ‘‘get to- gether spirit” was not a little more conspicuous among our people. I have felt that if in some way what might be termed a massed effect could constantly be put forth by us to encourage and stimulate indivi- dual and public ambition, that no prize could be too previous or goal too difficult to attain, to be beyond our reach. “My hopes and desires along this line are not, I am confident, just Utopian dreams, incapable of ‘ful- fillment, impracticable and absurd, but they are tangible, reasonable and logical and can, probably not wholly, but in large measure, oe put into ac- tual every day practice. Massed Effort Successful. “Reflect and contemplate, honest- ly and candidly, if you will, the al- most invincible force and powerful effect of the concerted, massed effort —the team-work, if you please—of the 9,000 people of this city and of the other thousands in our tributary country whose interests are identical with ours. Just think of it! Think of inculating in these people the spirit and determination to make the interest of every single one the in- terest of all, to bring about the real, actual union of the strength and in- telligence of so great a number of persons. I mean, to create a general | sentiment and condition that will bring together the laboring men, | whether skilled mechanics or com- mon laborers, the professional men, the farmers and the business men. and the wives, sons and daughters of each of them, so that they will min-| gle and work together for the com- mon good. It can be done, and,| gentlemen, permit me to say to you, ! it must be done, to successfully cope | with recently changed conditions in this country, as well as the rest of the world, and with other changes that are imminent. We have just emerged from a world conflict for democracy. Now, let us have a little real democracy right here among ourselves. Good Start Made. “You have made a good start in this direction in the transformation of the old Commercial club into the new Civic & Commerce association and in getting into its membership men of all occupations, so as to make it truly representative and democra- tic. Keep up and intensify the spirit that prompted you to do this. It is nght and, more than that, it is im- perative. Forget the old idea of classes and recognize the fact that every man—and woman, too—in this country has a right to the enjoyment of life, liberty and hapjlness and that from now on they are going to de- mand that right.

It is a grand and worthy ef- fort, in the success of which I have supreme confidence. “The mere fact that the idea orig- inated with the Loyal Order of Moose, of which fraternity we are to- night honored guests, is convincing to me that organization is all right, and that we may safely join with it in an attempt to form a grand broth- erhood in the City of Bemidji, which shall include in fraternal bond every member of every fraternal society that is represented here. Hoves Effort Rewarded. “May the effort apparently so aus- piciously initiated by the order of Moose be rewarded with great suc- cess and may our closer association with each other redound to the ad- vantage of the City of Bemidji and make every one of us a better man and more valuable citizen of the one hundred per cent.

They will visit several-eities in various 'parts of the country after they have been feted here. Albert was crowned on the death of his uncle, King Leopold II, the old king’s- only son having died. Albert and his queen, Elizabeth, .-who en- deared themselves by their heroic ef- forts to alleviate the sufferings of their subjects during the German oc- cupation of the little kingdom, have three children—Prince Leopold, heir- apparent; Charles Theodore, Count of Flanders, and Princess Marie Jose. Even before the war Elizabeth had already shown her concern for her subjects. On one occasion at a mine disaster in 1911 the queen quietly but quickly made up a supply train and rushed unceremoniously to the scene. For days she worked as a nurse, entering the homes of the poor miners and caring for the suffering —her identity unknown. i Queen’s War Service. ‘With the outbreak of war in 1914 she devoted her time to caring for wpunded soldiers on the field and in, camp. She traveled with other nurses, occupied quarters with them did her work with them. Thou- ds of dollars from her own money she spent in thus serving the victims of the German heel. Elizabeth was a princess of Ba- varia. But from the day she was married to Albert in Munich in 1900 she never returned to visit her kin. Tours were made in other countries, and when at last she saw Austria lined with Germany against the country of her adoption, she pledged her fidelity to the Belgians forever. Is 44 Years Old. Albert was born in 1875. He was the youngest child of the Count and Countess of Flanders, the count’s brother being King Leopold II Prince Baudoin, born in 1869, and who would have succeeded to the throne, died at 22 years. There were also twin princesses in the family— Princess Henriette and Princess Jose- phine. Josephine died in infancy. Philip, count of Flanders, was a lover of art, a taste of which was transferred to Albert. The countess was Princess Marie of Hohenzollern. Her family was only distantly relat- ed to the Hohenzollerns of the recent regime. Geneologists point out that Marie was of the elder Swabian line, which branched from the junior or Fran- conia line—that to which the former kaiser belongs—in 1246. King Army Schooled. Albert, like other European princes, was schooled for the army. (Continued on Page Five.) WED IN PROBATE COURT.
