Farewell Dinner On Ship.

On Board the u. 8. S. George Wash
ington, Thursday. Dec. 12.-(By
Wireless to The Associated Press.)-
The president and Mrs. Wilson had
their farewell dinner tonight with
Captain McCauley. Aboard ship all
preparations had been completed for
the d~ebarkation at Brest.
The president today completed his
conferences with members Of the
American mission and the ambas-
sador on board and everything now Is
ready for the informal but important
preliminary conferences with the
Entente premiers beginning probably
next Tuesday. The president spent
the day in putting the finishing
touches on his plans for the first con-
ference and in preparing a reply to
the address OF welcome to be deliver
ed by President Poincare at a lunch
con in Paris on Saturday.
In tho final conferences aboard ship
today. the president made clear his
position on vital questions in order
that his ideas should be we'll defined
before the meetings with the Entente
premiers.
A remarkable farewell demonstra-
ton for the president was held
aboard ship last evening. At the con-
SAuoAoA " AC oAAo"A4A6 VI pAS
lures a chorus Of b~luejackets entered
the main salon and sang: God Be
With You Till We Meet Again"
The president apparently was deep
lily affected as the sailors sang the
verses of the song. AS the solemn
notes Of the famous old hymn were
concluded the orchestra struck up:
"Auld Lang Syne," in which all the
ships company Joined.
Germans Interested.
Brest, Dec. ia singular feature
of the welcome to the president was
the suppressed interest Of the German
prisoners at Brest. 1t was evident
that their interest in the visitor was
as keen as that Of the huge crowd
thronging the town, but the authori-
ties kept these Germans in the back
ground.
Among those who lined the route to
the station were delegations of patri-
otto societies and. other organizations
and throngs of people from the neigh
boring localities, attired in gala Bre-
ton costumes.
The first TO greet the president, be-
sides the French ministerial repre-
sentatives were Andre Tardieu
French high commissioner to the
United States. the mayor of Brest
Ambassador Sharp. Colonel E. NJ
House. General John J. Pershing and
General Tasker H. Bliss.
