President Wilson's speech at the
Guild Hall this afternoon is as fol-

Mr.. Lord Mayor: We have come
upon times when ceremonies like this

impresses me as I stand here. The
address which I have just heard is
most generously and graciously con-
ceived. and the delightful accent of
sincerity in it seems like a part Of
that voice Of counsel which is now
everywhere to be heard. I feel that
a distinguished honor has been con-
ferred upon me by this reception. and

sociates of my very profound appre-
citation, but I know that I am only
