REELECTION OF WILSON
 WELCOMED IN LONDON
Weekly Nation Says It is an Event
 Favorable to Peace and Liberty.

London, Nov. 10, 9.05 p. n.-The re- election of President Wilson is well comed by the Weekly Nation as an event favorable both to peace and to the cause of state liberty and the pa per thinks that his election offers hopes of an earlier end to the war agony than any nation enduring it can yet foresee. William Henry Massingham, the editor, in a special note referring to President Wilson says:
 The resources of the European statesmanship are not so rich nor are it's personalities so inspiring that it can dispense with an acute, power ful end in some degree, prophetic in te1lecr at the head of the greatest power that the war has left standing and the most sympathetic to our helves. I think that most men and women here. who take more than cas- ual interest in American politics, read the news of Mir. Hughes earlier suc- cess with sinking hearts,
 The New Statesman considers it better for the entente allies to have to do with president whose mind they know and who is unlikely to raise serious difficulties concerning the British blockade. Moreover" it adds, '''eWilson is the more likely to be interested personally in the promotion of an Anglo American entente, on the creation of which after the war so many important things will depend"

A lane was formed through the crowd and the four members of the crew were es- corted to a platform on the northerly side of the hall, during which time the orchestra played the Watch on. the Rhine. Here they were, welcomed in behalf of the EIks by Exalted Ruler T. J. Kelly, who spoke of their, voy- age as the most daring ever attempted since Columbus discovered this coun- try. .l
 Mayor Daniel P. Dunn then well cemed the men on behalf of the city, making few well chosen remarks on the wonderful achievement of the men. As he is suffering from a severe cold the mayor could not be heard in all corners If the hall. The first of the visitors to speak was the wireless op- orator. who thanked the people for their fine welcome. One of the officers then spoke briefly on their experi- ences. After this the men shook hands with all who desired to meet them and then left for their boat in New London. Captain Koenig, who was scheduled to come to this city with the members of his crew, sent word at the last min ute he would be unable to come for some unforeseen reason, ~7t. ,.s c.
