Monarch to Leave. * Washington, Oct. 30.—King Albert and President Wilson clasped hands today. The meeting at the president’s bedside, brief as It was, proved the climax to the American visit of the Belgian monarch and he left Washing- ♦o ■■all for home from Newport News at noon tomorrow on the transport George Washington, which brought him to this country. From the day he landed the pleasure of his toar has been mar red by anxiety over the president’s condition and he had abandoned hope of being able to see him. When he drove to the White House Albert had little expectation of being able to see the man for whom he has expressed the highest admiration. On ly at the last moment, at the presi dent’s earnest request, did Rear Ad miral Grayson, his physician, consent to a brief ohat. The king went alone to the sick room, operating the eleva tor himself. His call lasted ten min- utes. ^ ' The visitor seated himself at fife' right of the bed and the president H Pays YouTo Ship FURS ISABEL M years’ Record of Honest Dealing No commissions to pay.

The following is from The New York Times: * Large German purchases of the bet ter grades of American cotton, it was learned • yesterday, have been one of the principal reasons for the recent nsffsuTTami wnm'm rorih wma- ern markets, especially in Texas, where the best grades are to be had and where spot cotton has sold above 40 cents jj - pound for the first time since the civil .war. It was estimated by men in the cot ton trade yesterday that more than 500,000 bales of choice grades* had been bought by Germans or‘German agents since the present cotton sea son began on Aug. 1, and of this total probably more than 250,000 bales al- readyJbave been exported. On Monday more than 30,000 bales were shipped out of Savannah direct to Hamburg, making the total of direct shipments to German ports since August 1, some thing more than 10^,000 bales.

Me ffer bottle. 000 bales have been sent to Germany by way of neutral countries, and it is but the king expressed deep gratifi cation at being able to see him at all. Mr. Wilson remarked that it was a very happy occasion and showed great interest in the trans?continental tojir of the Belgian monarch. Albert re lated incidents of the journey, many incidents of the journey, many of them amusing, for he has a keen sense of humor, and spoke of the marked development of the United States in the 21 years which have elapsed since his previous visit. Mr. Wilson asked about conditions in Belgium, England and France and listened eagerly to Albert’s replies. He inquired particularly about Premiers Lloyd George and Clemenceau, voicing high regard for both of them. As his majesty was leaving he lean ed over the bed to shake Mr, Wilson’s hand again and said: "I hope your ideas and ideals will be carried out and I believe they will be.” “I am very anxious to stay as long as I can,” Albert said repeatedly to Dr. Grayson. "Will you let me know when I must go. but please don’t make i: too soon.” After the departure of the king, the president expressed a desire to see Queen Elizabeth who was having tea with Mrs. Wilson. Dr. Grayson con sented and her majesty went eagerly to the executive’s bedside, where she remained five minutes, seated at the left side of the bed. She told Mr. Wil son with one of her charming smiles that she felt much at home with per sons who were ill. One of her hobbies is hospitals. While Elizabeth was in the room, the president felt a draft from an open window, and asked for his old gray sweater which he cherishes despite the holes which mark its symmetry. He apologized for its appearance, re marking that it was not much to look at, but that it had done faithful ser vice. In his chat with the queen, Mr. Wil son said he wished he might see Prince Leopold. Her majesty looked inquir ingly at Dr. Grayson, who said he would not assume the responsibility. Then the president took decision into his-ow*“hands and the heir apparent was summoned. • ~- The youthful Leopold entered, the room with all a boy’s embarrassment and seemed rather ill at ease in the presence of the president but he was soon put at ease by questions about his school life at Eton. .Mr. Wilson told him how "much he looked like his fa ther adding: “Your father is every inch a man and I hope you will follow in his foot steps.” While the queen was with the presi dent, Albert chatted with Miss Mar garet Wilson and Mrs. Francis B., Sayre. He brought from the sick room, tucked carefully under his arm, an autographed set of Mr. Wilson’s “His tory of the American People” which the president had presentt*! to him. Dr. Grayson said his patient had been greatly cheered by his talk with the Belgian monarchs and that their visit seemed to have done him good. “My doctor tells me I’m getting bet ter,"! the president said to both his callers, “I hope he’s telling the truth aAd I do feel much better.” For the Belgians this probably was the busiest day they have had in this country. Their activities began be fore 8 o’clock when the king went to Annapolis to review the midshipmen of the naval academy and the queen went Baltimore to inspect two hos pitals^ Part of the afternoon was de voted by 'both of them to receiving honorary degrees. Albert was made a doctor of laws both by George Wash ington university and the Catholic university while Elizabeth was made a doctor of letters by Trinity college. Both of thq rulers were greeted by Cardinal Gibbons, chancellor' of the Catholic university and tl\e president of the trustees of Trinity. The vener able prelate welcomed them affection- exported within a few weeks. Germany’s purchases of American cotton, according to trade authorities, have been considerably larger in the last two months than those of any other foreign country except England. On direct shipment France has taken only 85,000 bales so far, while exports to England have amounted to .about 470,000 bales. The Germans, it Is said, have been buying only the better grade and apparently are not haggling ov er prices, for reports from the South say the German interests have been buying more aggressively in the last few days than a month or so ago, when prices were 315 to $20 a bale lower than they are now.. 'No large credits have been arrang ed here for the benefit of German importers, so far as is known, but it is understood that some private credits have been provided and also that many American exporters have set plans afoot to use their own credit in assisting the movement. Remit tances from Germany have been com ing in in rather large volume recent ly which is one of the reasons ascrib ed for the steady decline in the quo tation for reichsmarks, which yester day fell to a new low record of about 3 1-10 cents to the mark. However, it is understood that the principal expedient used thus far in financing exports of oettna to Ger many has been credits secured by Germans in neutral European coun tries. Germany, according to reports, has been exporting raw materials and some finished goods to the Scandi navian countries and to Holland, and Hi return for these has received cre dits which have been used in the tlnited States. The volume of busi ness done in this way, it is said, has run to many millions of dollars and has allowed German importers to buy goods here, chiefly cotton, without suf fering unduly on account of their de preciated exchange. 'Most of the cotton forwarded to Ger many and to the European neutrals has not gone through the Port of New York. On the contrary, the great bulk of the business has been moved from Galveston, New Orleans and Savan nah,-where it is received from the big Southern spot markets. LIQUOR DEALERS MOVE. Make an Effort to Test New Law. File Suit in Federal Court New York, Oct. 29.—The first move of New York liquor dealers to test the constitutionality of the war time prohibition law* since the passage of the enforcement act over the •presi dent’s veto was made today by the filing of a suit in federal distsrict court against William H. Edwards, collector of ihe second internal reve nue district here. A. West, Broadway liquor wholesaler brought the action, alleging the war time prohibition law to be void and illegal. D. L. Porter, supervising internal revenue agent for the New York di vision, received telegraphic instruc tions from Washington this afternoon that the prohibition enforcement law went into effect at 3:40 p. m. yester day. A force of revenue agents were given orders immediately to see that the law was enforced. * ately and hailed-the king as “one of the most inspiring heroes of ancient or modern times.” The royal special train, which has carried the Belgian party more than 9,000 miles, will complete its service at Old Point Comfort at 9 o’clock to morrow.

Be fore embarking on the George Wash ington the Belgians will witness the flooding of tw'o new dry docks at the Norfolk navy yard.
