Bisbee daily review., 1918-12-29

lyou have made us feel that compan- ionship was accessible to us in the most delightful and enjoyable form.
 Appreciates His Welcome
 q thank you sincerely for this vel come. sir, and am very happy to join in love feast which is all the more enjoyable because there is behind it a background of tragical suffering. Our spirits are released from the darkness of the clouds that at one time seemed to have settled upon the world in a way that could not be disposed, the sufferings of your own people, the suf- fering of the people of France and the infinite suffering of the people of Bel gium. The whisper of grief that has been blown all through the world is now silent and the sun of hope seems to spread its rays and to charge the earth with a new prospect of happi- ness. So, our joy is all the more elevated because we know that our spirits are now lifted out of that val | ley"
 The text of President Wilson's speech at the Guild hall this afternoon is as follows:
 MT. Lord Mayor: We have come upon times when ceremonies like this have a new significance which most impresses me as I stand here. The address which l have just heard is most generously and graciously con ceived. and the delightful accent of sincerity in it seems like a part of
 
 everywhere to be heard 1 feel that a distinguished honor has been con ferred upon me by this reception, and beg to assure you, sir, and your associates, of my very profound ap- preciation. but know that I am only part of what I may call great body of circumstances.
 Welcome Above Personality.
 T do not believe that it was fancy on my part that l heard in the voice of welcome uttered in the streets of this great city and in the street of Paris something more than a personal welcome It seemed to me that 1 heard the voice of one people speak ing to another people and it was a voice in which one could distinguish a singular combination of emotions. | There was surely there the deep gratefulness that the fighting was | over There was the pride that the fighting had come to such a conclu- sion. There was that sort of grati- | tude that the nations engaged had | produced such men as the soldiers of Great Britain and of United States | and of France and of Italy men whose achievements they had wit messed with rising admiration as they moved from continuation to culmina- tion.
 Business Yet Unfinished.
 But there was something more in it, the consciousness that the busi- ness is not yet done, the conscious ness that it now rests upon others to see that those lives were not lost in vain.
 q have not yet been to the actual but 1 have been with many of the men who fought the battles, and the other day I had the pleasure of being in the association of the French academy when they admitted Joffre to their membership. That steady, serene soldier stood and heard, not the words of triumph, but the simple words of affection for his soldiers and the conviction with which he summed up in a sentence, which I will not try to accurately quote, but reproduce in its spirit. It was that France must always remem- Der that the small and weak could { never live free in the world unless he strong and the great always put their power and their strength in the service of right.
 Seeks Permanent Settlement.
 That is afterthought-the thought hat something must be done now, not only to make the just settlements that. of course-but to see that the remained and were Ob- : served and that honor and justice prevails in the world And as I have with the soldiers I have been more and more aware that they ought for something that not all of hem had defined, but which all of hem recognized the moment you stated it to them. They fought to do lway with an old order and to estab- { ish a new one, and tae center and i of the old order was 2 hat something stable which we used { o call the balance of power, thing f n which the balance was determined 4 )y the sword which was thrown in i ,n the one side or the other, balance | which was determined by the un- E table equilibrium of companionship, I balance which was maintained by ealous watchfulness and an antagon- $ sm of interests which, though it was [
