TROOPS LED BY PETAIN
 ENTERING METZ Possession of Lorraine Stronghold Turned Over to French Forces Today. GREAT REJOICING
 BY THE POPULACE Most Picturesque Demon stration Ever Carried Out
 by People of Lorraine.

Metz, Tuesday, Nov 19-(By the Associated Press)-The historic event accomplished at 2 o'clock this after noon when Marshal Petafn, com mander-tn-chi of the French armies, made his entry into Metz, the great stronghold of Lorraine and the pivot of Germany's effort to crush France, may be said more than any other hap pening to consecrate the victory of the Allies in this war. The occasion, in which the French commander fig ured for the first time as a marshal of France, also gave rise to one of the most picturesque demonstrations ever carried out by the people of Lorraine.
 From early in the morning the roads leading to Metz were crowded with Lorrainers on their way to the
 city to raise their voices there for
 Marshal Petain and for France. Peo-
 pie unaccustomed. to any tongue other
 than the German for years began
 many days ago brushing up their
 knowledge of French in preparation
 for this occasion, and although the
 majority of the population undoubt- edly has a perfect acquaintance with no other tongue than the German, lit tie of that language was heard in the streets today
 Other things German had disap- peared over night, including the statues of the. German rulers, which i had been hauled down by the citizens. William I. had toppIed over from the horse of his equestrian monument, while Frederick III. had come down with a rope around his neck. Former Emperor William IL still was left to l figure grotesquely as a statue on the facade of the theatre. Into his hands had been placed a. placard saying
 Transit Gloria Mundi."
 Metz, Nov. 2O-When Marshal Pe- l tain entered this city yesterday, he l stood before the statue of Marshal Ney and reviewed his troops. The municipality and local societies well 1 comed the marshal at the city hall and the vicar general greeted them al | the Cathedral where Te Deums were
 sung.
 l A prefecture has been established 1 by French Commissioner Tirman. General Mangin has issued a pro- clamation greeting the people of the city. His proclamation reads:
 '"The regime of oppression and vio-
 lation ends with the German defeat l The republican army brings liberty
 and justice. France opens widely hel arms to all her returning children"

PRESIDENT SETS NO LIMIT ON HIS
 STAY IN EUROPE May Not Remain Through out the Entire Session of
 Peace Conference.
 PRESENCE AT OUTSET BELIEVED NECESSARY Technically on American Soil If He Lives at Amer ican Embassy Abroad.

Washington, Nov. 2O-Navy off, cials said today that President Will son and the American delegation to thet peace conference VIII cross the Atlantic on one of the big army transports, conveyed by a dread naught and fotiIIa of destroyers Plans for the trip have not been completed, but it is regarded as cer- tain that the vessel carrying the of ficial party will be one of the great est passenger liners taken over for the movement of troops.
 President Wilson has set no limits on the length of his stay abroad in connection with the meeting of the peace conference. This was the impression gained by Democratia senators at a conference with the President last night.
 While the formal announcement of the Presidents decision to go to France said it was not likely that it will be possible for him to remain throughout the sessions of the formal peace conference but his presence at the outset is necessary
 In the minds of senators attending last nights conference there was a belief today that Mir. Wilson would remain abroad indefinitely and at least until the greater part of the work of the peace conference has been completed.
 While absent from the United States, the senators said the Presi- dent intends to conduct all of the offices, just as though he were in Washington.
 The President is understood to hold that while staying at an American embassy abroad he is technically on American soil and for that reason can perform practically all of the functions of his office.
 Special interest in the principle of the freedom of the seas as a part of the peace treaty and the belief that the foundation for a league of na- tions should be laid at the peace con ference was understood by the sena- | tors as determining factors in the i decision of the President to set no ! time for his return from abroad. | Reconstruction and legislative prob ] lGIIlS dlSO dI6 uIitSIo oIOOu 1o AIf1N . i bean discussed at the conference. Gre alton of a reconstruction commission i of any sort was said to have been op- posed by the President who, it is understood, favors the solution of re- 1 construction problems by existing agencies. The senators were said to have been told that views of the | President on reconstruction and legis-
 lation will be embodied in his address
 before Congress at the opening of the 1 new session Dec. 2.
 Washington, Nov. 20 - President Wilson was asked today by the Farm CTS National Headquarters, represent
 ing a number of farmers organiZa- tions, to appoint a representative o1
 the agricultural interests of the coun- try as delegate to the coming peace
 conference. The President, was also
 asked in a letter made public here tc
 ask "all belligerent and at least the
 larger neutral nations to appoint dele.
 gates to a peace congress which shal
 sit simultaneously with the peace con.
 ference of accredited delegates at thi l same place."
