OLD POINT COMFORT. Va.. Oct. 31.
Albert, king of the Belgians; Eliza
beth, bis royal consort, and their son,
Leopold, duke of Brabant, bade adieu
to the United States this afternoon,
sailing on the presidential steamship
George Washington for Belgium. They
were accompanied by Brand Whitlock,
American minister to Belgium.
Deep regret at leaving the United
States and profound admiration not
only for Americans, but all things
American, were voiced today by King
Albert of the Belgians in the second
interview he has given in this coun
try. Standing on the bridge of the
destroyer Stockton, which brought
him hera from Old Point Comfort, he
talked for half an hour on varied
topics.
"The queen and I are very grateful,"
he said, "for the kindness and courtesy
extended us everywhere we have been.
It has been delightful and we have
njoyed every minute of our trip."
System May Be Adopted.
His majesty was asked if he had
gained in his travels here any ideas
which would be of practical value
in his own country, tfe replied that
he had learned much from, the divi
sion of labor in American industries
and that he hoped to see many of the
systems developed here adopted in
Belgium.
King Albert announced that one
purpose of his visit to this country
was to foster interest in his realm
by bankers and big business men.
While he has made no attempt per
sonally to float loans, he admitted
today he believed his mission had
been successful. He had met a num
ber of leading bankers of the country
and had chatted with as many as he
could meet on his tour.
"Your resources are marvelous,"
he declared. "The gold balance of
the world is here and all European
countries are saddled with huge
debts. American financiers have told
me they have the friendliest feeling
for Belgium.
Education Now Showing.
"The first thing Belgium must do is
to resume its commercial activities,
especially the manufacture of railroad
supplies, of which there is a great
shortage in Europe. Our rolling mills
and blast furnaces already are be
ginning their activities and we hope
to have some of textile mills io op
eration soon.
"Your country has developed won
derfully since I was here many years
ago. That is true especially along in
tellectual lines. Your system of uni
versal education is just beginning to
bear its full fruit. The countless men
and women who have obtained higher
educations have now reached their
full development and I believe Ameri
ca will lead the world in scientific re
searches and in all lines of mental
activity." .
Reverting to the reconstruction of
Belgium, the king remarked:
"The world is growing steadily
smaller because of the remarkable
transportation facilities which are be
ing developed. Naturally, It is easier
lor people to move back and forth
and when normal steamship schedules
are restored I expect many Americans
will come to Belgium, where they al
ways will be welcome."
War Delays Plana.
Albert indicated that he was hope
ful ome day of realizing his youth
ful ambition of making his country
a maritime nation. His plans were
well under way when they were shat
tered by the war.
ON BOARD THE STEAMSHIP
GEORGE WASHINGTON. Oct. 31.
(By Wireless to the Associated
Press.) King Albert of the Belgians
sent the following radio message of
adieu to President Wilson, after the
Ueorge Washington sailed:
"President Wilson, White House,
Washington. D. C: The moment of
departure has come and it is with
great regret that I leave the hos
pitable shores of America.' I am glad,
however, to have had the pleasure of
seeing you, and It is comforting to
me to feel that you soon will be in
full health and vigor ard able to con
tinue your great work.
"The queen and I will never forget
the cordiality of the welcome extend
ed to us by the people, as well as by
the government of the United States.
I assure you once more of my high
est regards and friendship.
- "ALBERT."

T
HE DARK STAR," a super-
production featuring Marion
Davies and which will start
today at 11 o'clock and show for four
days at the Peoples theater, has for
its locale Turkey, France, England
and the United States.
The picture gets its title from the
Dark Star Erlik. a "dead" planet,
which is supposed to have an evil
effect upon those born under its in
fluence. Among the children of this
Black Racer of the Skies" are all
the main characters in the story.
From metal that has fallen from
the Dark Star, an idol was made in
ages past. This idol brings misfor
tune to its' possessor and war to tho
nation where it rests. Within It,
throughout the action of the picture,
are concealed plans of Turkish forts,.
In quest of which the spies of rival
nptions, and persons whom they im
plicate, cause the many thrilling sit
uations of the plot.
In one instance in the filming or
the picture Allan Dwan, who directed
Marion Davies in "The Dark Star," sat
ccitfortably back in his chair for a
short time during the filming of that
picture, while Miss Davies herself put
the members of her cast through their
paces.
The occasion was a. new -dance step
called for in the ctory, and Mr. Dwan,
quickly recognizing Miss Davies"
knowledge of the terpsichorean art,
gladly availed himself of her offer
to act as dancing instructor to the
other members of the cast. It will
be remembered tbat Miss Davies sang
and danced her way into the hearts
of thousands of admirers through the
musical comedy route less than two
years ago. and although her time is
now entirely devoted to pictures, she
is a natural dancer and is able to
achieve the most difficult steps with
consummate ease and grace.
An excellent four-piece orchestra
played at the studio during the en
tire filming of the picture Director
Dwan believing it to be equally es
sential that the artists should have
music while they are creating their
parts as that the finished product
should have its orchestral accom
paniment.
Screen Gossip.
Kathleen Clifford's long suite is
originality in clothes. She appeared
on the lot at Brunton studio the other
day, where she is playing a special
engagement opposite Douglas Fair
nks on his current United Artist s
programme production, in a taiieured
frock that instantly set the women
agog with interest and excitement.
Where do you get 'em! they
asked.
I'll never tell!" declared Miss Clif
ford loftily.

the greater part of the war. spent
nearly two hours In the witness chair
today befoVe the- national assembly
sub-committee which Is investigating
what had been the possibilities fur
bringing about peace during the war.
The former chancellor said he
sharply condemned the submarine
warfare, -but admitted the Influence
of Admiral von Tirpitz, General Lu-
dendorff and Field Marshal von Hln
denburg wu so strong that the Ger
man people ' were absolutely con
vinced of Its justification and fol
lowed their generals blindly.
Wis voice almost broke with emo
tion as he told of his efforts to meet
his responsibilities, both to the people
at home and to the soldiers In the
trenches. When he tried to oppose the
submarine warfare, he said. Generals
Ludendorff and Von Hindenburg wired
the foreign office that Germany would
lose the campaign on the west front
nd that she must have the sub
marine war.
America "Could Be Handled."
It was considered finally, accord
ing to the former chancellor, that
even America, should she enter the
war, could be handled, and the army
authorities threw: down the- gauntlet
to political followers who opposed the
submarine campaign. ... .
Warnings not to underestimate
America, which the former chancellor
id he issued, failed of their pur
pose, because,- he declared. 'Intense
hatred of America ruled solidly in all
political circles owing to the delivery
of ammunition to the entente by the
United States.

First Why did the central Dowers

Wilson for peace had been suggested
by Germany and a certain prospect of
such action was held out, at the lat-

Second Why were concrete neace

Third Why. instead of pursuing

WHO'S WHO AT STATEHOUSE
S'
ALUM. Or., Oct 31. (Special.)
Percy A." Cupper, state engineer,
is an Oregon product, having
been born in Heppner, Morrow count.,
in 1882. He passed his early life on
a stock ranch in the northern part
of Grant county, and acquired his
education In the public schools, sup
plemented by a scl-f
entitle course ai
the Bishop Scott
Academy in Port
land. Later he took
an engineer Ing
course at the Ore
gon Agricultural
college.
Mr. Cupper gradu
ated from the agri
cultural college In
1894. with the
degree of B. S. He
then began his
work as an engi
r.eer, being em
ployed by the
United States rec
lamation service.
and later by the Oregon-Washington
Railroad & Navigation company. In
1905 he entered the employ of the
state of Oregon, having in charge
some measurements in the -. Walla
Walla valley, in connection with
important law suit. Involving all the
water users in that section.
Mr. Cupper served In the capacity
of assistant state engineer from 1907
to 1918. when he was appointed state
engineer upon the resignation of John
H. Lewis. He has been identified
with practically all recent legisla
tion affecting the water resources
of Oregon.
In 1909 he assisted in the prepara
tion of the Oregon water code, and
was the first to advocate the present
state rural credit system.
I In 1915, he revised the drainage

district code and with the aid of the
Oregon Drainage association obtained
its enactment. After attending the
international irrigation congress at
El Paso, Tex., and considering methods
of reclamation in other states, he
came to the conclusion that the irri
gation district plan was the only one
under which irrigation could success
fully be undertaken. Upon his return
he set about' to revise the irrigation
district law, with the result that the
1917 legislature adopted probably
what is the best irrigation district
law on the statute books of any state.
state engineer uupper is ex-officio
president of the state water board,
secretary of the desert land board
and chairman of the Irrigation securi
ties commission.
It is not too much to say that the
laws of Oregon affecting the water
resources of the state are second to
none and that Oregon's development
along these lines has been erpatlv
stimulated and the prospect for her
future development was never
brighter.
ur. von Jtsetnmann-Hollweg ac
knowledged that the racts established
in the course of the proceedings were
correct and admitted Germany's wish
had been to enter a conference which
President Wilson was willing to Join.
Replying to the first of three ques
tions he had been asked to answer,
the former chancellor said:
"If President Wilson was upset be
cause the central powers did not wait
for his peace step, he did not allow
this to Influence his action."
Dr. von Bethmann-Hollweg would
not assert that the president was not
in earnest in holding out a prospect of
peace action, but said there was a
long series of facts throwing doubt on
whether and when he (President Wil
son) could carry out his resolve,
which led the German government to
doubt whether his intervention could
come soon enough.
According to Count von Berstorff'a
reports, the former chancellor de
clared, the president was accustomed
to show hesitancy and dllatorinesa
and appeared handicapped by his own
and his country's relationship to the
entente.
-Wllaon Held Unfriendly.
"We could not see into the presi
dents soul, said Von Bethmann
Hollweg. However, he had no
friendly feeling for Germany, as was
recently declared by Premier Clemen
ceau In the senate. Moreover, the
commercial relations of England and
the United States for the supply of
armaments were bound severely to
restrain the president's peace action
and it would have been venturesome
to take his peace action as a cer
tain factor and otherwise remain in
active. For military reasons Ger
many could not wait Indefinitely.
"In order not to give the impres
sion of weakness the German peace
offer had to come at a time when our
military successes were at the high
est. Moreover, it was necessary to
show the German people that the
government desired peace arid was
only waging a defensive war. It
was calculated further the- peace of
fer would increase the entente peo
ple's will for peace and they would
influence their governments in favor
of negotiations. Unfortunately the
entente replied to the German offer
with a flat refusal and the war had
to be continued."
