vas crowded by asst crowds waving
and shouting their welcome-such
crowds. as have rarely been seen in
Paris.
President Wilson was constantly
b~areing his. head and smiling upon
the throngs in acknowledging his
welcome, while Mrs. Wilson's carriage
was heaped with flowers that were
thrown into it along the route to the
mansion of Prince Murat, which was
reached at 1O:45 o'clock, about a half
hour after the American executives
arrival in the French capital.
In the procession from the railway
station to the Prince Murat home in
the Rue de Monceau, the first car
riage was occupied by President Will
second carriage by Mrs. Wilson, Nine.
Poincare, Nine. 'Jusserand and Miss
Margaret Wilson. Those in other
carriages were: Third American Am
bassador Sharp, Premier Clemenceau
and Generals Mordacq and Desparge;
fourth, Secretary of State Lansing and
Foreign Minister Pichon; fifth. Cen
eral Bliss and Mr.. Henry White;
sixth, General Pershing and Ambas-
sador Jusserand; seventh, Admiral
Benson and Captain Tardieu, French
high commissioner to The United
States and eighth, Admiral Grayson,
General Harris and Lieutenant Col
onel Lobez.
During the, ride from the railway
station the president was smiling and
almost continuously he took off his
hat and bowed to the right and: left.
Waves of human voices answered his
salutation broken by the sharp bark
Of guns at intervals Of Is seconds.
The reception to the president, in the
estimation Of some Onlookers, ap-
peared to have drawn out a greater
crowd than welcomed either King
George or King Albert on their re-
cent visits.
The procession left the Porte Dau-
phine a few minutes after the presi-
dent arrived. The scene was impress
sive as the crowds cheeredSand then
uncovered heads revently as the bands
played the Star Spangled Banner. A
de- Triomphe. where the procession
turned down the Champs Elyses, con-
tinuing down the thoroughfare until
the bridge Alexander III was reached.
After crossing the Seine the process
sion moved past the building Of the
chamber Of deputies and again
crossed the Seine to the Place de la
C%oncprde.
A tremendous throng was gathered
there and set. up a mighty oar. As
the procession approached tho cen
ter Of the city. the enthusiasm SEEM
ed to become greater and when the
church Of the Madeleine was reached
the applause attained its greatest
height.
President Wilson seemed greatly
affected as he passed the. church of
the Madeleine for the American So
cities had gathered there and they
raised a characteristic American
cheer as he went by ending with q
Tiger"
1t was estimated that nearly two
million people nae been in the
crowds Through the presidential party
had passed.

walt longer than. we."
The letter then outlined the plans
for the coming offensives against the
Italians. French and British and
continued:
when these offensives are stopped
I urge that an agreement be reached
with America before she is able to
change the military situation to our
disadvantage"
Count Czernin explained his belief
in the success of Germany's subma-
rine warfare and recalled to the en-
peror statements made by Field Mar
shall Conrad Won Hoetzendorf while
on a visit to Vienna.
The field marshal said. according
to the letter, that England would be
checkmated and that America would
be paralyzed by the proposed sub
marine campaign. The letter end
ed with the solemn warning:
1--WE are al the end Of our re-
sources. Germany cannot count or
our support beyond the latter part OF
the coming summer. Before God
and before your people it is your
sacred duty to defend your people,
your dynastic ideals and your
throne"

COUNT CZERNlN DECLARES HE
WAS CONVINCED in 1917 THAT
SMASHING POINT WAS REACHED

Vienna. Dec. 1l-(wednesday)-
(By the Associated Press)-Count
Czernin. the former Austro-Hungar-
ian foreign minister, wrote frankly
OF conditions in his correspondence
with former Emperor Charles as was
shown by letters which Count Czernin
showed correspondent today. One
OF the letters. written in April, 1917.
gave the emperor warning that the
Central Powers were nearing defeat.
It read:
II am thoroughly convinced that
the smashing point has been reached.
Germany as we'll as ourselves has
reached the end of her resources. Re-
sponsible political, authorities do not
deny it but military circles in Ber-
lin are indulging in self-deceit. I
am convinced that should Germany
attempt, another winter campaign an
upheaval will occur in the empires.
That would be far worse than Q dis
advantageous peace.
If the sovereigns Of the Central
empires are unable to conclude peace
within a few months then the peo-
pies OF the empire will do It and q
wave of revolt will sweep away all
for which our brothers have been
fighting. Perhaps months will elapse
before America a throw the
strength Of her 'battalions into the
fight, but her moral support is q
