Praises President Wilson
THE power of these noble sentiments
have been evoked, in terms which are
ever present in our memory, by the
great President Wilson, while they in
splred HIM to most generous action

people, by the intensity of it's affection
for France, caused one to sense the
strength whicE it somehow felt, but
which It did not yet know how to en-
ploy. 1t seemed that by it's great love
! his people felt itself already doing

Allied armies. 1t made no nj take, for
that love enabled France overwhelm ed

ences to the departure of the 9Th Bat
tie Squadron, composed of American
battleships, and the arrival of John
w. Davis, the new American Ambassa-
dor, in London.
"The Westminster Gazette" says the
Grand Fleet parts from It's American
comrades with regret, which is shared
by all the United Kingdom, "yet with
recognition Of the fact that their CO.
operation has been an event in his
tory that not only brought about great
practical results, but will be an en-
during memory between the two peo-
pies"
"The Times" under the heading
"Welcome. Farewell" says the Ameri-
can warships and their officers have
worked as one with the men Of the
Grand Fleet.
Like the men of our own navy"
"The Times" adds, "thev have been
silent about their doings, have es-
chew.d advertisement, have abhorred
words, and so they go home, leaving
in the northern seas the memory Of
their deeds One word must be said
for Admiral Sims and Admiral Rod
man, whose tact ana el1-elfacement
have contributed immensely to the per-
feet cooperation of the British and
American fleets. Our debt to them is
heavy and we can pay it only by words
of thanks"
Referring to Ambassador Davis, it
says that the respect and trust he
commands among the leaders of both
parties in his own country are due not
to arts of advertisement, but solely to
the fruits of hard work, intellect and
judgment. and adds:
"No American is more in sympathy
