PRESIDENT IS PRAISED
BY DEPUTY MAYERAS
Frenchman Lauds Character and
Peace Ideals of Americas
Chief Executive.
BY ANDRE BLUMEL.

CableEram to The Sunday Star and
Chicago Daily News. Copyright, 1918.
PARIS, France, October 12.-Imme-
diately after the decision of the social
list commission to send a message to
President Wilson regarding the peace
offer of the central powers, I was
accorded an interview with Deputy
Mayeras, appointed by the commission
to submit the effects of their message
to congress. A former professor in a
French university, M. Mayeras. before
entering parliament, was a brilliant
journalist as well as a cultured and
biting polemic writer. He opened the
interview with warm praise for Presi-
dent Wilson.
He is a man Of the highest INTEL
ligence whose sentiments never vary
and can only repeat what said last
January when Mr.. Wilson stipulated
peace" Here M. Mayeras repeated
word for word what he then said.
After Lloyd George, Mr.. Wilson
speaks. In time of war 1t Is not only
q rare pleasure but 1T is also an in
tellectual pleasure to read Mr.. Will
sons messages.
Zone has the impression that this
American is. one of the greatest
French writer's. Since the outbreak of
the war / do not remember reading
anything else SO clear regarding pass
ing events or anything representing
SO well the thoughts of universal dem
ocrats. Nor are we displeased to find
in this great statesman the high mo-
rality of Kant so greatly DETAINED in
Franco in the last four years, though
he was the main political and moral
force Of our French revolution. We
are happy to find that Mr.. Wilson adj
vises each nation to set it's line of
conduct SO that it may become the
line of conduct of the universe"
In conclusion NJ. Mayeras said
THUS you see that it is not admira-
ton born of circumstances which ]
have for Mr. Wilson. At the beginning
of the war my sentiments toward him
were the same as in January and as
they are now"
