 He said America viewed Frances suffering with no ordinary sympathy but was moved deeply by wars wrongs because she knew the man. ner in which they were perpetrated.
 "Your sufferings filled our hearts with indignation and we entered the war when we saw the Teuton's pur- pose in making war, and that wrong must be resisted everywhere by men who loved liberty and justice.
 Your delightful, warm welcome  has made me feel at home in France and to realize that in my person you are doing great honor to the people of the United States"
 President Poincare of France, per sonally escorted President Wilson to the City Hall, the automobile con- taining the two presidents and Mrs. Wilson was driven through the famous Bois de Boulogne.

LAPS PROMISE OPEN DOOR FOR
 YANKEE TRADE

SAN FRANCISCO. - Important among the many missions from Japan which have visited the United States during the past several months is the Honorary Japanese Commercial Mission which arrived in San Francisco, and which now is visiting commercial centers of this country. This mission, headed by Reizp Yamashinma, vice-presi- dent of the Tokio Chamber of Com merce; and S. Sheba, prominent business man of Tokio and honorary secretary of that organization, has as its purposes the study of com mercial organizations throughout the United States, as well as commercial financial and economic conditions.
 At a conference with San Fran cisco Chamber of Commerce officials, the problem of credit information for American merchants desiring to do business with firms in Japan was brought up. At the present time there is no available agency such as exists in America in the firms of Dun and Bradstreet in Japan, but the subject was promised earnest consideration by Yamashima.
 Assurance was given by Yama- shima that Japan desired American business to enter this trade side by side with her merchants. It was the firm conviction of the trade mission that America and Japan should have proper banking facilities in the Orient With American and Japanese prestige, the question of currency exchange in China could the adjusted and the present system of high costs eliminated, it was con tended.
 Suggestion was made that an eX change of items for publicity by the chambers of Tokio and San Fran cisco would work to the advantage of both. Information furnished by the chambers of Japan could be given circulation in the United States and cultivation of such busi- ness information and exchange of items and views should be encour- aged.
 Yamashima expressed himself as interested in an exchange of views through publicity and in further ance of the idea of close acquaint- anceship expressed the hope that more American merchants would visit Japan and the Orient.
