Many persons from faraway places
fiocked to the city to attend the cere-

of the distinguished visitors.
The city was profusely decorated
with the flags Of the allies and the
buildings on the streets through which
the presidential party passed We're
aflame with the red, white and blue.
Millions Greeted Wilson's
The newspapers did not publish
Christmas, but long editorials Of greet
Ing had already been printed. The
Christmas hustle probably will be for
gotten sooner this year than ever be
fore In the rush OF excitement attend
ing the coming of the distinguished
visitor.
One of the biggest crowds London
has ever seen-a multitude reaching
into millions greeted President Will
son on his arrival
There was a double element to con-
tribute to the public interest-the pres
ident Of the United States and the
public appearance Of King George and
Queen Mary.
Sleepy Villages In Tumuit.
The other Englishs towns which the
president will visit are making SINH
lar preparations, although on small.
er scale. The sleepy little village Of
Carlisle in North England, where the
President and Mrs. Wilson will attend
church on Sunday. is in tumult.
A similar state of affairs prevails
at Manchester, where the freedom of
the city will be conferred upon Mr.
Wilson on Monday. Hundreds Of thou
sands OF persons living In the district
adjoining Manchester are preparing to
take part In the ceremonies there.
The only gloom In Manchester arises
from the fact that the town hall will
not hold all the people who wish to
witness the honors.
President Wilson Is already being
hailed in the north OF England as "the
man OF the century"
