There Is strain OF sympathetic per-

No Mere Curiosity.
"Presldept Wilson's journey was n

that SO impressedly expressed their

The Telegraph says:
"The warmth of the welcome to Pres

ceeded The enthusiasm with
which we greeted the president is Of a
particular quality and different from
that often felt in receiving other guests
whom we have delighted to honbr."
The Post which hopes that Mr.. Will

PEN PICTURE OF
PRESIDENT WILSON

London. Dec. 27.-Herd is
the description OF President
Wilson as pictured today by
the London correspondent OF
the Manchester Guardian:
"President Wilson's visit is
an event causing a general
feeling that this day marked
the real transition from war
time to peace-time. The crowd
came out in numbers to see the
man in whom so many hopes
for a better future for human
ity are centered. They thought
he looked tit for the part.
President Wilson took all his
honors in a sort of impersonal
way. He smiles. 1t seems.
partly as though he was a
little amused at what fate was
doing with himself. A COM
mon remark about him was

No Immediate Change in Sit

Guard at Archangel.

Paris, Dec. Ell. N. S.)-Intense
| interest awaited Premier Clemen-
| ceau's scheduled speech during the
| budget debate in the chamber of
deputies this afternoon. for it had
been reported that M. Clemenceau
might touch on the proposed league
| Of nations, the Russian situation and
perhaps name Frances personnel at
the peace conference.
Added Importance is attached to
the premier's speech because 1t opens
public exchanges between the allied
statesmen before the preiimfnaries
to the formal peace conference COM
mence.
Belief was held that Premier
Clenenceau was prepared to tell the
chamber that the conversations held
thus far with President Wilson and
others have been most extraordinary
and inspire the hope that the peace
preliminaries can be quickly con-
cluded once they get under way.
Whether or not M. Clemenceau
would be able to give the date of the
opening of the preliminaries was
not known, but 1t was hoped that
this and other information would be
forthcoming, thus clearing up the
haze enshrouding the conference,
Society of Nations.
Regarding the proposed society of
nations, 1t was expected that, if the
premier touched this subject at all,
his remarks would be only a brief
repetition of utterances already made
by those who are sponsoring such
an organization. From this quarter
1T has already been predicted that
the principle of such league is GER
tain to be written by the conferecs
without saying whether the society
should first be discussed at the con-
ference with the details left until
later, or wise versa.
A great many of the details re-
garding the proposed league depend
upon the real conversations that will
be held here following the return Of
President Wilson.
Preliminary Farley.
1t is probable that the date Of the
opening of the preliminaries will
now be fixed for the middle of JIM
uary, but the Japanese delegates will
not arrive until Jan. IA.
1t was learned from a well-in-
informed source that there is un-
likely to be any change in the Rus
sion situation in the near future,
owing to the reluctance to develop
military operations there on grand
scale. But Russia is being watched
very closely.
Although the French governmental
had some support toward interven-
ton even from sections of socialists
who want the Russian situation
quickly cleared UP, to prevent a re-
turn of the reactionaries to power,
it Is realized that it would be diff
ficult to convince the people of the
Of affairs after four years
of war.
Nothing more can be done at pres
ent, it is said, beyond taking meas
ures to protect Ukrainia, Poland and
and prevent them from be-
ing overrun by bolsheviki. In the |
meantime allied troops can be kept |
standing guard at Archangel and in /,
Siberia in hope that order will grad
ually be restored from within.

London, Dec. 26.-Half an hour
before President Wilson arrived at
Buckingham palace, joined the
crowd outside, which extended over
many acres and numbered probably
10000 or 10000. although 1t, was inn
.ppssible- accurately to estimate IL or
to tell just where II ended. merging
itself into rivers Of humanity assem-
bling from all directions.
Whether owing to the fact that It
was national holiday or that the
occasion was one appealing especially
to thinking people, the fact remains
distinctly noteworthy that it was a
different kind of a crowd from any
of the huge assemblies of people /
ever had seen outside the palace. It.
was garden party crowd, well
dressed and well hammered. of the
truly middle class of the well-to-do
of London. 1t was not tumultuous,
but was enthusiastic enough.
l waited patiently, watching the
gorgeous sight of silvery, aluminium
painted airplanes soaring and loop
ing over st. James palace and shin
ing with dazzling beauty in the light
of the setting sun.
No Pushing, No Showing.
Guns booming from the vicinity of
Hyde Park announced that President
Wilson had arrived. The crowd did
not push or shove. When the short
procession reached Hyde Park cor
ner roar of welcome from the vast
crowds Tnassed in that open space
came across the park in one con-
tinuous wave of sound. The course
of the presidents approach could be
told by the sound Of the cheering all
the way down Constitution hill until
the head OF a cavalry escort appeared
in sight.
After the first carriage containing
Mr.. Wilson and King George ap-
peared the cheering never ceased.
President Wilson and Gen. Pershing,
Marshal Haig, Marshal Foch and
Others were cheered in their turn, and
after the military had withdrawn the
crowd broke the lines and thronged
around the palace ratings, an un-
broken sea of men, women and chill
dren. American sailors perched on
n high lamp above the palace rail-
lngs led the cheering, waving two
expansive Stars and Stripes. They
soon were Joined by Scot soldier
with the Union Jack and then by an
Australian with the Anzac colors.
I'VE want Wilson" chorused the
vast crowd. I'VE want Wilson,"
Finally the president and his wife
appeared on the balcony. This was
the signal for wonderful demon
stration. The president, waving his
SILK hat in sweeping gestures, bowed
in every direction. Some one passed
Mrs. Wilson a Union Jack. which she
waved, and the crowd. instantly not
ing the delicate compliment, renewed
its deafeEing plaudits. Many thou
sands still were cheering and sing

The bands were playing in the pal
