U. S. Ambassador

William Phillips, new Ambassador to Belgium, mounted a royal coach and was driven off to the royal palace, an escort of cavalry clanking in the rear.

Inside the palace Foreign Minister Paul Hymans presented the Ambassador to King Albert who received his credentials. After the usual speech testifying the common good will of both nations, one for the other, the Ambassador was presented to Queen Elizabeth, after which he was escorted back to his residence.
