London, Dec. 2S.-President Wilson
made his last public appearance in
London today Officials of the city OF
London presented him with an address
of welcome in the ancient Guild hall,
where other famous Americans in
Guiding General Grant and former
President Roosevelt, have been re-
ceived. Afterward he was the guest at
a luncheon in the Egyptian hall of the
Mansion house, where hover the
ghosts of decades of civic oratory and
where many Americans have partaken
of the famous aldermanic turtle soup.
The drive from Buckingham palace
and return was witnessed by immense
crowds. There was plenty of enthu-
iasm abroad but it hardly reached the
same volume as that which attended
the presidents entry into London on
Thursday. Announcement of the re-
suits of the general election was some
what of counter attraction today

ping part happy part tragic, Pre-
mier Lloyd George. who sat near the
president was learning that the vot-
ers had renewed his lease of power
by heavier majorities than political
auguries had foretold. II. II. Asquith,
his one-time chief and rival of today,
was seated nearby and heard that his
political career of more than thirty
years had been halted.
The days official events were not
limited to the two functions in the
city The president received and spoke
to various delegations which present
ed addresses at the American embas-
sy and tonight he dined at the pre-
miers residence in Downing street
with the members of the cabinet.
After the dinner he entrained for
Carlisle, where tomorrow he will visit
his mothers birthplace. on Monday
he will be in Manchester, the great
midland commercial city. The presi-
dent will make an oration in the Free
Trade hall at Manchester which holds
1000 persons, and another speech att
luncheon where other delegations
will be presented.
The visit to London has passed with
out any jarring note or discussion of
precedents and rank like that which
attended President Grants visit in
1877.
The president has not heard that
the police took away red flags from
a few women of foreign appearance in
the crowds in the streets of London.
He has gone abroad in London unat-
tended by American secret service
men.

most distinguished statesmen. Presi-
dent Wilson reaffirmed his principle
that there must no longer be bal
ance of power which might unsettle
the peace of the world but that the
future must produce a concert of
power which would preserve it,
The text of President Wilson's
speech at the Guild hall this after
noon Is as follows:
"Mr. Lord Mayor: We have come
upon times when ceremonies like this
have new significance which most
impresses me as I stand here. The
address which l have Just heard is
most generously and graciously con-
ceived and the delightful accent of

that voice of counsel which is now
everywhere to be heard, ! feel that
a distinguished honor has been con-
ferred upon me by this reception, and

sociates of my very profound appre-
citation but know that l am only part

on my part that heard in the voices
Of welcome uttered in the streets of
this great city and in the streets of
Paris something more than personal
welcome. 1t seemed to me that
