LUNCHEON AMERICA ASKS

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
New York, May 1S.-President Will
son-the man on whom the eyes of
the world are turned because of the
international situation-reviewed the
Atlantic fleet in the Hudson river, and
at a luncheon rendered to him on
shore by the city of New York, told a
distinguished gathering of navy off
GERS, army officers and civilians, what
the country and its navy stood for.
The great battleships that lay in
the river" he said, were engines to
promote the interests of humanity"
THE inspiring thing about Amer
ica," the President asserted, SIS that
she asks nothing for herself, except
what she has a right to ask for hu
manity itself. We want no nations
property; we wish to question no ma
tons honor; we wish to stand self
ishly in the way of the development
Of no nation"
The President took occasion in his
speech to pay tribute to Secretary of
the Navy Daniels, who sat beside him.
Although the day was damp and chilly
with occasional downpours of rain,
the weather abated in no way the
enthusiasm with which New York
greeted the head of the nation.
In the forenoon he reviewed a land
parade of 5000 sailors and marines,
from the fleets sixteen b~attleships.
From the moment he set foot on
shore until after the luncheon, when

view the fleet, his progress through
the streets was a continuous ovation,
remarked on by those who accompa-
MED him as the most enthusiastic
they had witnessed since the Presi-
dents Inauguration.
He was plainly touched by the well
come accorded him.
Everywhere the spirit of patriotism
was in evidence. Many men and wo-
men seized every opportunity to tell
the President Of their support in the
present international crisis.
Thousands stood in the chill drizzle
while the brigade of sailors and ma
rines marched up Fifth avenue, and
during the afternoon, with a cold,
damp wind blowing across the Hudson,
thousands more thronged the slopes
of Riverside drive and other vantage
points to watch the Mayflower as she
passed up the river between the grim
gray lines of war vessels.
The Presidents remarks at the
luncheon were greeted with tremen-
dous applause.
The President concluded his long
day by watching the boat races from
the deck of the Wyoming and a joyful
celebration among the Wyoming's
crew when that battleship won the
race. He stood smiling on the bridge
as the bluejackets, headed by their
band and cheering Justify, paraded
around the deck. Soon afterward the
President returned to the Mayflower
for the night. He planned to return
to Washington on her after the review
Tuesday.
