WILSON CN TERED
Continued from page I

There had been just hint that the
Presidents adress would be the key to
the conferences he has been holding
with British statesmen, and the address
as it was delivered today was intcfprete d
in American quarters ~ confirming the
previous intimations that these con-
ferenccs had been very satisfactory from
the Presidents view point.
At the outset Of his address President
Wilson declared he did not fancy that
the welcome Of Paris and London to
him was purely personal, but rather
that the voices Of the people were OK
pressing not only emotions Of gratifica-
ton that the fighting had ceased but
also their conception that the peace
tn be made must guarantee that the war
could not be repeated
1T now rosts upon others to see that
those lives were not lost in vain," the
President added.
The President concluded his address
amid great demonstration, and then
proceeded To the luncheon at the Ma nsiop
House with the Lord Mayor.
