AMERICA KNEW OF
SUFFERING OF
NATIONS
WILSON DELIVERS ADDRESS AT
PARIS CITY HALL

:, Paris, Dec. 16.-President Wilson
delivered an address stoday at the
City Hall where the ceremonies had
been arranged for In reply to the
greeting extended him he said: your
greeting has raised many emotions
within me- It is with more than Or
binary sympathy that the people. Os
the United States, for whom hse
the privilege of speaking, have viewed
the sufferings of the people of France.
Many of our own people have been
themselves witnesses of those suf-
ferings. We are more deeply moved
by the wrongs of the war because we
know the manner in which they were
perpetrated.
81 beg that you will not suppose
because the wide ocean separated us
that we were not in effect, eye-wit-
nesses of the shamful ruin wrought
and the cruel and unnecessary SUI
ferings brought upon you. When the
United States entered the war, there
fore, they were moved by the convic-
ton that the purposes of the Central
powers were wrong, and must be re.
sisted by the men everywhere who
loved liberty and right and because of
the Illicit ambitions they were enter
tanning and attempting to realize. Our
resolution was formed because we
knew how profoundly great were the
principles of right which were af-
fected, but our hearts moved also with
our resolution"
