Brest. Dec. l4.-President Wilson
reached the harbor of Brest on board
the steamer George Washington at l
O'Clock Friday afternoon and at 3:24
stepped on shore, the first time an
American President had trod European
soil. President Wilson came ashore
with Mrs. Wilson, who carried an
American flag and bouquet.
There was laundering cannonade
as the Presidents launch left the
George Washington and landed at pier
No. 3. 1t was escorted to the tribune
amid cheers and salvos and the notes
of "The Star-Spangled Banner. The
President delivered brief address aft
er landing at Brest, thanking Mayor
Goude for the Breton welcome given
him. He then drove through the
cheering crowds, the frantic ovation
continuing until he reached the rail
way station. There he entered the
train which left for Paris at 4
O'Clock. where today the heart OF
France acclaimed him as the nations
guest.
The arrival was the elimination of
an imposing naval spectacle which be-
gan as the presidential fleet rounded
the outer capes, then passed the en-
trance forts and moved maJestically
into the harbor, where the George
Washington anchored at the head OF
long double column of American
dreadnoughts and destroyers and the
units OF French cruiser squadron.
puIn a dAutr
showing the way to the fleet, and
close behind loomed the huge bulk of
the battleships Pennsylvania and Wyo-
ming, flying, respectively, the flags of
Admiral Mayo. commander of the At
lantic fleet, and Vice Admiral Sims,
commander OF the American naval
forces in European waters. Just back
of them moved the George Washing
ton, bearing the President. flanked on
either side by the battleships Arkan-
sas, Florida, Utah. Nevada, Oklahoma.
New York, Texas and Arizona, by
French cruisers and by a great flotilla
of American and French torpedo boat

President Wilson witnessed the
spectacle from the deck of his steam

working hard for advancement through
the different glasses. and finally to win
n commission In the navy. He was
loath to accept the appointment,
which was obtained without solicita-
ton on his part as he wished to stay
abroad until the end of the war. He
was with the very first troops that
went to France with Pershing.
He was cited In the debates in con-
gress upon the question of lowering
the draft age as m example of what
a very young man could accomplish,
for Heller enlisted in the marine corps
when he was only sixteen and has just
reached eighteen. Consequently he
carried his full burden of campaign
and actual combat while he was seven
teen. 1t was argued from his case
that the best kind of fighting could be
done by American youths between the
ages of eighteen and twenty-one.
Heller will try for the academy by
virtue of regular congressional ap-
pointment. There are quite number

Cardinal Mercier; archbishop of Ma
