DEACE will bring to the United
T. States navy a general trans
fer of officers in the high COM
mand, it was learned yesterday.
Admiral Henry B. Mayo, COM
mander in chief Of the Atlantic
fleet, and Vice-Admiral William
S. Sims, chief of the American
squadrons in European waters, are
to be relieved of their commands
and assigned to the General Board
of the Navy in Washington.
Both Mayo and Sims will retain
their present titles in recognition
of their work during the war.
1t is probable that either Vice
Admiral Henry B. Wilson or Vice
Admiral Albert Gleaves will sue
ceed to the command of the Allan
tic fleet. Amony navy men it is
generally believed that Wilson will
receive the appointment.
The navy will also lose two we'll
known officers through the retire
ment of ice-Admirals Dewitt
Cof'man and Austin M. knight.
Admiral Knight is in command Of
the Pacific fleet, and Admiral Coff-
man until recently has been COM

Long before daylight the battleship
Pennsylvania, leading the Presidential

night was partly cloudy, with the moon
visible now and then. Suddenly the
Pennsylvania got series of rapid sig

Then the toplights Of the fleet came

all the ships in the convoy spread out

from the direction Of Brest. 1t circled

President Wilson came ashore with
Mrs. Wilson, who carried an American
flag and a bouquet.
His progress from the pier to his
train was amid vociferous welcome
from the throngs in the streets.
Mayor of Brest Speaks
Mayor Goude of Brest. in greeting
President Wilson as he landed. said:
"Mr. Presidents: | feel the deepest
emotion in presenting you the welcome
of the Breton population. Inc snip
bringing you to this port is the sym
boil under the auspices of which the
legions Of your pacific citizens sprang
to arms in the grand cause of inde-
perdence. Under the same auspices
to-day you bring to the tormentcd soil
Of Europe the comfort of your author
lied voice in the debates which Will
calm our quarrels.
"Mr. President, upon this Breton
soil our hearts are unanimous mesa
luting you as the messenger of justice
and peace. Tomorrow it will be cur
entire nation which will acclaim you
and our whole people will thrill with
enthusiasm over the eminent states
man who Is the champion of their as
pirations toward justice and liberty.
Presents Councils Address
"This old Breton city has the honor
of first saluting you. In order to per
pctuate this honor to our descendants,
the Municipal Council has asked me to
present you with an address express
ing their JOY at being privileged to
incline themselves before the illus
trious democrat who prcsidcs over the
dcstinies Of the great Republic of the
United States"
The Mayor then presented the en-
crossed address of the Council, which
read, in part:
"Beng the first to welcome the Pres
ident of the United States to France,
we respectfully salute the eminent
statesman who so nobly personifies the
ideals of liberty and the right of
man. In order to perpetuate this
event through the ages, we direct that
these proceedings be deposited in the
! city archives. Long live President
| Wilson! Long live the champion and
apostle of international justice!"
The President delivered brief ad-
dress after landing at Brest, thanking
Mayor Goude for the Breton welcome.
f He then drove through the cheering
until he reached the railway station.
German Captives Interested
A singular feature of the welcome
to the President was the suppressed
interest of the German prisoners at
Brest. 1t was evident their interest
in the visitor was as keen as that Of
the huge crowd thronging the town,
hut the authorities kept these Germans
in the background.
Among those who lined the route to
the station were delegations of patri-
otic societies and other organizations
ard throngs of people from the neigh
boring localities, attired in gala Breton
costumes.

French SUSPICION Aroused

Thomas and group commonly de-
scribed as patriotic Socialists
French Suspicion Aroused
The effect of this kind of thing al
ways emanating from Socialist organ
izations, however, has caused the ordi
nary, cear-thinking Frcnchman to
scratch his head and begin to look
with suspicion upon the American
statesman who is identified in his mind
with the phrases freedom of the seas"
and "the society of nations" This gra-
tuitous adoption Of Wilson by the So
cialist element here as their special
representative has already elected sew
nral mild protests from the more orth-
odox journals
One conservative organ characterizes
this "manmuvre Of our Bolshevists," as
as an impertinence to Wilson, saying:
"They treat him as if he were one Of
their own party"
The journal complains: Nothing
could be less justified nothing could be
more harmful than this legend or a
Wilson susceptible Of blind indulgence
toward criminal nation"
At the same time the journal asks:
"Why have they reserved for Wilson
the noble title Of artisan Of peace ?" and
points out that Clemcnceau, Foch and
the poilu himself might also reasonably
deserve similar recognition.
People Eager to Know Wilson
In spire Of the sickly. sentimental
label which has been affixed to him by
his admring Socialist friends, however,
Paris is most anxious to make personal
acquaintance with Wilson. People here,
above everything else, are hoping that
the President, in the speeches he
makes, will explain clearly that he does
not make things too easy for Boches
and that he is absolutely in agreement
with the great mass of French people
who insist that Germany shall be made
to pay to her last cent for the wrongs
she has done.

ramparts of the fortress at the head
of the harbor.
1t was just at the side Of the same
fortress that President Wilson landed
to-day-a scene of epic battles and
sieges, of the great exploits of
Du Guesclin, of medieval dark cells
Of the famous oubliettes, which pris-
oners entered never to return, but
which now is the barracks of hundreds
of American bluejackets on land duty
at this port.
Although the weather was everything
that could not be desired, and, as pre-
dicted, gray, threatening and soggy
under foot" it made the scene even
more imposing and took nothing away
from the enthusiasm of the welcome.
From the ramparts of the fortress the
harbor entrance was quite invisible. so
that the great squadron appeared
as ships come up at sea-out Of moth
ingness above the edge of the world.
u. S. Troops on Guard
As Party Lands at Quay
First they were just irregularities
along the gray horizon; then wraiths
that took the form of ships-vaguely at
first, and outlining only their full dress
of flags and appearing in the flashes of
the guns that fired in regular salvos,
sending light above the heaviness and
dark of the day.
The arrival quay was walled with
canvas and covered with flags, flowers
and coats of arms of every ally. The
entrance was guarded by American
troops and Secret Service men, who
left such a narrow lane that only a
single file of persons holding special
permits from Admiral Wilson could
pass. In fact, so rigid were the pre-
cautions that every foreigner in the
city, including Americans, was visited
by the police during the morning and
asked to show his passport.
There has been considerable gossip
among the superstitious over the fact
that the landing day was Friday, the
18th, so officialdom decided to tempt
fate by sticking to the number wher-
ever possible.
Thirteen Chairs on Tender
And Thirteen Stripes in Flag
Therefore, on the deck of the tender
Tudo, which brought the party ashore,
were thirteen chairs, two of red plush
for the President and Mrs. Wilson and
the others of cane for the rest of the
reception committee.
On the subject of the supposedly un>
lucky number an American officer on
guard at the entrance to the pier
summed up the feeling-of Americans,
