PRESIDENT AT WORK ON TRIP.
Ship Speeds at Seventeen Knots Per
Hour on Way to Europe.

On Board U. s. s. George Wash
ington, Dec. 5.-(By wireless. >
The weather to-day was clear and
cold, the pale sunlight making the
escort observable from the decks Of
the Presidents steamer.
President Wilson'S ship this morn
Ing was 450 miles out, steering a
steady course at speed of seventeen
knots an hour.
The President slept late and took
breakfast with Mrs. Wilson, no other
member Of the party being present
with them at this meal Afterward
the President worked with his ste
nographer and examined the official
wireless messages. which included
several applications for clemency.
Hanmering Typewriter.
A pouch Of official mail matter will
be put off at the Azores on Sunday
and be hurreid back to the United
States on board a destroyer. The
President has his own typwritr on
board and Is using it at intervals in
working on the speeches he expects
to deliver in France.
There Is every indication that in
his utterances in France the Presi-
ent will make plain his proposition
that all come to the peace table pre-
pared to make sacrifices for last
ing peace, and that armed domina-
tion by any nation shall cease.
The President spent most of the
first day Of the trip on this steam
ship working In his office, part Of his
suite. After acknowledging from the
bridge the greetings given him as
the ship put to sea, he turned to the
pile of letters and kilograms await
ing him.
In the afternoon, on the advice of
his physician, Rear Admiral Cary T.
Grayson, he lay down and rested for
time because of slight cold tha,
was affecting his voice.
Later he received calls from off,
cials on board, including the Italian
and French ambassadors. After this
he and Mrs. Wilson were seen taking
walk on the ships deck.
Attended the Kaiser.
The Presidential party dined qui-
etly in the evening, being served by
waiter who claimed to have at
tended Emperor William and the
Empress on the trial trip of the
George Washington.
The reports that the Presidential
suite had been fitted up in a luxuri-
ous manner are untrue.
Keeping IN Touch.
The President is keeping in touch
with official business by wireless. The
cscortinr destroyers, with the bat
teship Pennsylvania leading the col
umn. are keeping in close touch with
the steamship carrying the President
and official party.
Mine sweepers are running before
the bow Of the ship. They are all
loaded with steel billets to insure
their deep draught.
Pigeons Released.
In the evening Mrs. Wilson re-
leased from the George WASHINGTON
carrier pigeons bearing notes Of
thanks to Vice Admiral Gleaves for
the success Of the arrangements that
had been made for the departure.
The George Washington will steam
by way of the Azores, but will not
put in at those islands.
