WILL BRING WOUNDED

" AAL DR1ANu VOO
 When the George Washington reaches
 France the vessel will return at once to New York with wounded men and others of the American forces, both officers and
 privates, reaching her destination in time
 for Christmas.
 It is said that President Wilson's
 conferences with entente statesmen
 during the next few days undoubtedly
 will center on questions surrounding
 the proposed league of nations and tho definition of freedom of the seas." and
 possibly also on the question of indem [nity. On the question of the league
 of nations there will be discussion, 1t
 is said. whether the league shall be
 provided for in the treaties of peace
 or later. It is known to be President
 Wilson's position that the peace treaties should embody agreements to
 create league of nations. It is also
 known to be his conviction that there lis strong necessity for establishing upon very clear definition. freedom of the seas.
 The much discussed point two in President Wilson's IA essential points of peace, on which Great Britain has reserved decision, is said to be not i'm tended to specify unqualified freedom of the seas outside territorial waters. but only to stipulate that no single nation shall restrict freedom and that when freedom is restricted it shall be only by a concrete power enforcing internation-. lal covenants. It is expected that the President will approach what may be difficulties in opinion rather than of principles and that he will rely upon open-minded conferences and processes which will not involve unnecessary an tagonism. It is said to be his attitude that neither the United States nor the other belligerents should assume the role of master, and that he believes he is supported by public opinion generally as to the agreement to be sought for between peoples. rather than govern ments, as essentials, to peoples war.
 In determining the question of free dom of the seas it is thought that radi- cal revision of maritime practices prob ably will arrise.

ine landing Of the President was not only a remarkable spectacle with a notable naval pageant for it's back ground, but it also marked the first entry of an American President into personal contact with Europe and it's affairs
 Although the presidential fleet arr rived at Brest shortly after noon, it was not until after o'clock that Pres ident and Mrs. Wilson embarked on an harbor boat and set foot on the soil of France. Vast concourses watched the trip ashore and the fleets of war ships roared a salute as the last stage of the journey was accomplished.
 On the harbor boat going ashore the President was seen standing on the upper deck with Jules J. Jusserand, French ambassador to the United States, who pointed sout the historic walls and monuments of the ancient city,
 As the boat touched the pier the French and American guards of honor presented arms and the strains of "The Star -Spangled Banner" mingled with the cheers of the great multitude.
 Mrs. Wilson came down the; gangplank with General Pershing. She
 
 passed the American army nurses they handed her an American flag, which she bore proudly.
 PRESIDENT LAST ASHORE
 The President was the last to come ashore, amid great applause. He held his silk hat in his hands, his face was wreathed with smiles and he bowed his acknowledgements to those about and to the masses of people on the rising walls and terraces of the city. Stephen Pichon, the French foreign minister. and Georges Leygues, minister of ma rine, joined the President as he stepped ashore and conducted him to beauti- fully decorated pavilion. Here the first formal welcomes were given the Presi- dent as the guest of the French nation.
 It was striking picture as he stood there, surrounded by old world states men, officials and generals. The Presi- dent met each greeting with smile and as hearty handshaKc, only speaking few words as some we'll known friend welcomed him.
 As the mayor of Brest stepped for- ward, President Wilson listened atten- lively to an address of welcome and received with 8 bow large parchment roll wound with the American colors, containing the city councils greetings to him. Speaking in a clear voice, the President acknowledged the greeting and from a manuscript read brief address in response.
 Following the addresses the presiden- tial party drove through the Cours Dajot, where vast crowds were assem- b1ed. Every foot of the way was lined with American soldiers in their rusty service khaki, and along the road were great stores of war material recently being rushed to the American front. It kl~ 1,~1c r. is ArCf rrltv the American troops and material on the fighting ground. Military honors were accorded as he passed and large numbers of soldiers on duty mingled with the throng in its enthusiastic tribute.

physical condition for the hard work ahead ot him From the time the George Washington passed out of sight of the Statue of Liberty the American execua i've has exercised consistently. He has rested a great deal, but still has found tune for much work in daily conferences and with state papers He has made ap- pointments. accepted resgnations and signed pardons, and conducted by wire less, probably for the first time in his tory as the head of any nation, more work than ever before has been accom- plished in this manner. Meanwhile, he has been in constant touch with Ameri- can officials in Washington and Paris.
 President Wilson seemingly has thor oughiy enjoyed the voyage. Nothing has pleased him more than the moving pie ture taken of him with the assembled crew On the forward deck, in which the President shook hands with every one, rom the grimy fireroom gang men to the men of the upper decks He has spent the evenings at the bluejacket amateur shows and posed generously for hundreds of snapshot pictures by officers and men. He has read the ships pape, daily without fail and generally has at tended nightly moving picture shows.
 ENJOYS SINGING
 President Wilson has expressed much enjoyment at the singing Of the sail- ors' quartet. At target practice and in signaling maneuvers he always has been one of the most interested of the specta-, tors
 Invitations from Europe have been coming in lage numbers by wireless, but President Wilson has been uniform in declining them and trying to cut down the number of official functions arranged for him to a minimum. He has sum- marily rejected all invitations which might be liable to be construed as mean ing that he is on a pleasure trip.
 It is said that President Wilson feels he cannot forego a visit to the Ameri- can troops at the front or visit to the devastated regions of France, and that he intends to crowd such visits into his absences from Paris up to January 3, when the peace conference gets down to business. During the succeeding six weeks he will conduct his daily business at the Murat palace. the same as at the White House, surrounded by his clerks stenographers and attendants.
 President Wilson and Mrs Wilson actu- ally have less baggage on board the George Washington than some of the minor attaches of the peace party
 The degree to be conferred on Presi- dent Wilson by the University of Paris will, it is said, be the first honorary de- gree to be given by this seat of learn ing Likewise the degree to be given the President by the University of Rome will be unique in the annals of that uni versity so far as a foreigner is con- cerned.
