The Rev. Mr.. Booth reviewed the

the esta blishment of religious liberty
in America. - :,
"These men," he said, laid the
foundations for that great love OF
liberty and justice which has made
the American people and which has
found such practical expression IN
so signally helping to the great VIC

against oppression and wrong. Is
it not q further manifestation OF
the same spirit which, in the provi-

Won't you say few words to us"
~ President Shows Emotion.
President Wilson hesitated a mo-
ment and then answered, Eyes, sir"
and walked to place in front OF
the choir. He was visibly affected
as he resumed his seat after the adj
dress.
The Bishop of Carlisle then read
an address, in which he thanked the

the God-fearing world" the bishop
continued, "the splendor Of your
ideals and the greatness of your
achievements on behalf of humanity.

The service concluded with the
singing of God Save the King"
After the benediction President Will
son was taken to the pastors study
where he signed the register and sat
in the mahogany leather-upholstered
chair that was once his grand

church, where the congregation was
still waiting, and passed down the
aisle and out of the door amid ap-
plause.
1t was still raining as the presi-
dent drove back to the Crown and
Mitre hotel. Here he remained
until ! o'clock when he drove down
to the station. He said goodbye at
the car door to the notables who
had come to the station to bid him
farewell. The president was cheer

JAPSENROUTE

CONTINUED From Page One.)


San Francisco, we have had a most
comfortable and delightful journey
across the continent. To me it has
had especial interest as this is the
first opportunity I have had tc
mark the wonderful development
of this country since the early
seventies, when as a boy Travelled
from New York to San Francisco on
my way to Japan to complete my
education. The attention shown to
us by Norman Armour of the State
department, and indeed by everyone
connected with the splendid train
service have been unremitting and
helpful.
Il have had opportunity to
meet number of representa-
tive Japanese settlers in this
country at several points en-
route and it has given me much
pleasure to learn that they are con-
tented and prosperous. 1t pleases
me greatly to know that they are
becoming more and more assimi-
lated with the life and spirit OF
America, especially during the period
of stress consequent on the war
which has happily ended"
On Palatial Train.
The train on which Baron Maxine
and his party travel across the coun-
try consists of three sleepers, a
composite car, a diner and a bag
gage car. On the trip the baron
spends greater portion of his time
gathering data that has to do with
matters to come before the peace
conference. In a corner of the car
is small library. The books are
in English and deal with problems
that have to do with the affairs of
governments. It is in this car the
baron lives. Here he takes his
meals, prepared by his own cook
and in this car he sleeps. At one
end there is large compartment
where daily conferences are held
with members of the party. Other
members of the japanese peace par
ty occupy the sleepers and take their
meals in the diner, served American
style.
Make Fast Run.
Con,in~ down the Platte river val
ley, the Japanese were given an ex-
hloltion of what American roads can
do in the way of speeding up. On
the tangent in the vicinity OF kear-
uey. for a distance of 80 or 40 miles
they hit a speed of 70 miles all
hour When told of the speed that
the train was making, the baron
lnarvelled and remarked that it was
the fastest ride that he had ever
taken.
The Japanese special went out
over the Northwestern, leaving at
AIS o'clock, and is due in Chicago
at 7 o'clock this morning. 1t was
accompanied by John Mellen, gen-
eral agent. Over the Union Pacific
into Omaha it was in charge Of
Frank Watkins, travelling passenger
agent.
The United States government is
closely guarding and looking after
the interests of Baron Maxine and
his party as .theyscross the country.
On the train. and looking after the
wants and needs OF the distinguished
Japanese is James O'Connell of the
secret service and Norman Armour
of the State department. From
Yokohama they were accompanied
by D. c. Patterson, an Omaha boy,
who is lieutenant commander of

ers engaged on war contracts; the
shipbuilding plants, with the finished
ships gliding into the water; the avia-
ton plants and field, with more aero
planes finished and in action than any
American ever imagined; the gun man
ufacturing plants and those making
shells for the large and small guns, are
all striking illustrations of where
enormous sums of money are being
expended daily.
The thousands of soldiers shown in
the cantonments, and as many more
in the fields of France, as well as the
vast Accommodations Of army stores
shown somewhere in France, are other
causes Of tremendous expense. In fact,
any American seeing these films will
