Historic Mission.
[By j. w. T. Mason. Written for the
United Press.]
NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-Ameriea's
SQUADRON of dreadnoughts, home to-
day from the waters OF Europe, mas
performed historic mission that VIII
be the basic factor in tho future sea
activities of the league of nations.
The Americans have shown the
Feasibility Of perfect cooperation De
tween warsnfps flying the Union JACK
and The Stars and Stripes. Without
this spirit Of harmonious action by the
Ibattleshfps of the different national
titles. there can never be exercised any
real authority by the league of ma
tons upon the high seas. Freedom OF
the seas, which the league expects 10
create. can be guaranteed only by a
stern exercise OF sea power by Co
operating powers.
The commanders who have operat-
ed Americas fighting ships abroad
have demonstrated their efficiency IN
NO more striking manner than do
their ability to work for unity OF pur-
pose with the grand fleet of Great
Britain. On land the allies showed
that the division Of command was
fatal to success.
This has resulted largely from the
fact that the basic theories OF navel
tactics and strategy are the same for
Britain as for America
The matter Of common language
of British and American naval ofncers
has also played an important part IN
the efficient cooperation OF the two
fleets.

PARIS, Dec. 26.-Rear Admiral

clan, spent Christmas morning dis.
1 tributing, at the request of Mrs. Will
son, candies, cakes and sweetmeats
she had personally purchased for the

Ready for Great Welcome.
LONDON, Dec 21.--England was
ready today to give President Wilson
the greatest welcome ever accorded
a distinguished visitor, or conquer
ing hero.
This is holiday throughout
Britain, boxing day. The London
police were prepared to handle the
biggest and most exuberant crowds
since the victory celebration.
The American presidents progress
from the time he lands at Dover until
he arrives with King George at Buck
ingham palace, promised to outrival
the triumphant entries into England
of Haig, Kitchener and other famous
Britishers when they came home
after winning glory.
The crowds were out early, lining
the London streets through which the
president will ride. American and
British flags predominated among the
banners of the allies which flew
everywhere. Street statesmen did
rushing business in small United
States flags.
