Brest, Dec. l3.-President Wilson
arrived in the harbor OF Brest at
O'Clock this afternoon on board
the steamer George Washington,
amid deafening salvos of artillery
afloat and on shore. The arrival
was the elimination OF an imposing
naval spectacle which began as the
presidential fleet rounded the outer
capes, then passed the entrance
forts and moved majestically into
the harbor, where the George
Washington anchored at the head
oi long double column OF Ameri-
can dreadnaughts and destroyefs
and the units of French cruiser
squadron.
The presidential fleet was first
sighted at II 80 o'clock this morn
ing, IS miles Off shore. The sea
was calm and the stately fleet NOV
ed landward under skies which were
Frightening after dark and gloomy
morning. 1t was more than an hour
later that the ships were signaled
at the entrance of the harbor, and
A great cheer arose from the waiting
crowd as the cloud of black smoke
showed that the presidential fleet
was near.
The days first ray or sunlight fell
across the George Washington as
she anchored, while the huge re-
production of the tatue OF Lib
ertv on shore was brilliantly illu-
minated as the sun broke through
the clouds.
The president $ ship moved into
the harbor through lines formed by
the battleships. She dropped an
chor about mile off shore amid
tumultous demonstration.
The battleship squadron escort
inc the George Washington enter
ed the harbor at noon with the
presidents ship lar back in the
haze.
The French ministers and Amerl-
can officials boarded the George
Washington at 1:30. They were ac-
companied by Miss Margaret WIZ
son. AS soon as they had gone
aboard, preparations began for the the
presidents landing. About %
American and French warships
were in the roadstead.

force in European waters.

president, flanked on either side by
the battleships Arkansas, Florida
Utah. Nevada, Oklahoma, New
York. Texas and Arizona, by
French cruisers and by great tlo-
tilla Of American and French tor
pedo boat destroyers.
The entrance to the harbor IS al
narrow strait with forts crowning
the towering cliffs on each side.
Through this avenue the imposing
pageant moved, each OF the ten
forts contributing its cannonade and
the ten American battleships ans
wering gun for gun.
As the fleet neared the inner har-
Dor the land batteries and the as
sembled war craft took up thun-
derous salute, while the hills, quays
and terraces OF the old Breton city
rang with cheers from the enthusi-
astic multitude. AT the same time,

spectacle from the deck OF ms

in the old worlds first tribute to
an American president.
Soon after the arrival OF the presl-

French foreign minister, and George

A singular feature OF the welcome
to the president was the suppressed
interest in the visitor was keen

interest in the visior was as keen
as that of the crowd thronging the
