WILSON WILL GO TO
(. ROME TOMORROW TO
RENA|N THERE WEEK
Left London This Morning For
Paris After Successful
Visit In England.
By Robert ]. Bender

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
London, Dec. 31,--President Wilson
left London on his return TO France
at 0;20 this morning. bringing to
close one Of the most momentous events
in British history.
There was no doubt that the pooplO
as well as statesmen felt the president .
visit had accomplished complete un-
derstanding of British and American
aims.
As the president departed, his sweep
ing declaration at Manchester against
"a balance of power" together with
Premler Clemenceau' open advocacy
Of return to that ancient form Of al
lance, filled the public mind.
While newspaper headlines emphasiz-
ed Clemenceau's quotation of his con-
versation with President Wilson, inter
preling IL as showing the president was
agreeable toward Britain s retention OF
control of the seas, private eonversa-
| tien revealed that the real significance
H., the premier's speech is attached to
to the fact that conflicting peace thco-
RES are coming out into the open.
Won t Take Compromise.
| Ground for saying Wilson'S quoted
remark does not admit Of unqualified
Interpretation was given by friends
of the president, while his Manchester
speech ended hopes cherished in some
quarters that he would accept G ,mpr0-
mise in the shape of an Anglo o-Amcrican
or quadruple alliance, includiag craRre
and Italy.
General opinion seemed to be that,
with the contending views frankly Ok
| pressed, much of the argument that
would have been reserved for the peace
conferences will be disposed Of before
the sessions get under way and that
the public will get fdll benefit OF botlt
sides of the problems.
To Rome Tomorrow.
President Wilson will remain in Paris
until late tomorrow when he will leave
for Rome. There he will visit King En-
manuel, Pope Benedict and Methodist
college returning to Paris the first OF
next week
/ Premier Lloyd-eGoYge left for his
lcountry home TO-DAY Tor Dfici fese pv
fore going to Paris.
The final ceremony Of Wilson's visit
| TO London was dinner at Bueking
ham palace last night. There were -
guests, including the family and per.
sonal friends of King George and Queen
Mary.
i The unprecedented, though simple act
Of the king and queen in accompanying
the presidential party to the train this
morning drew an exceptional farewell
crowd "a the vicinity Of the Victoria
station. The royal couple spent fifteen
minutes on the platform saying good
/ bye TO each Of their guests. The party
was given a hearty sendToff by ske
crowds.

In response to a suggestion that the
French are modest to the point OF re-
ticence, the president replied:
''Since the war Frenehmen have felt
this is a time for acts, not words. Set
upon without warning, France wal
forced to bear the brunt of the fight

secretary of state for pensions, M.
Abram, can tell the story more graph

(France 8 total losses to the end OF
October were 1881 900, or nearly five
percent of its population, making
France s casualty the heaviest proper
tionately of any belligerent.)
In addition to our losses in men "
he continued, "it will take years tc
recover from the purely material set
back. That is why Germany must pay
not only important indemnities, buI
must settle for billions of francs worth
of property destroyed or carried off.
Districts Wiped Out
"Entire industrial districts have
been wiped out and whole cities razed.
Germany must not be permitted to get
ahead of us by starting up her own fac
tories while we are struggling to re.
build ours, which she destroyed. She
carried off our machinery; she must
build other machinery to replace it.
She destroyed our factories; she must
furnish materials to rebuild them. She
demolished French homes and took the
furniture away. The people cannot wait
forever to have their homes rebuilt and
refurnished. The Germans must aid in
this task. -
Poincare was very generous in his
ipraise Of American soldiers.
"They came to our aid at critical
moment" he said. "They put tell
ing weight in the scales. Wherever |
have been | have discovered the friend

habitants, whether in the city or in

"Our people and your people seem
to have something in common. This IS
due perhaps partly to the similaritw OF
our institutions and ideals, but under
meath there seems to be a kindred
mental makeup.
