ON BOARD PRESIDENT WILL
SONS SPECIAL TRAIN ENROUTE
TO CALAIS. Dec. .s:-President
Wilson left Chaumont for England
late yesterday afternoon feeling. more
strongly than ever the magnificent
part the American soldiers took I'm
the winning of the war. Yesterdays
review. in which 10000 American
soldiers marched before him. created
a deep impression on the President
quite apart from the historic signif-
canoe of viewing fighting men on for
eign soil for the first time.
When addressing his troops as Eel
low countrymen" he toll them that
he believed he could promise them
a happy New Year" This was con-
sidered the keynote of the address
and friends about Mr.. Wilson con-
strued his words to mean that he was
beginning to see the way more clear
ly toward the attainment OF h OBJ
jective he has set for himself at the
peace conference.
Al least one very important ad-
dress may be expected from III Pres
ident while he is In England. 1t may

tain Is so deeply interested. He will
take opportunity to do this in the
course of conferences he will hold
with Premier Lloyd George. A. ].
Balfour. secretary of state for foreign
affairs. and Andrew Bonar Law.
chancellor OF the ex~chequer, but
whatever public speech he will make
will be, of course. In explanation to
1.-THE English people themselves, who.
he believes, are In accord with the
principles upon which the making of
peace has been begun.
In his address to h American
troops yesterday President Wilson
said he had found no difference in
principles of a fundamental purpose.
HE expects to return to Paris to con-
tinue the work of the peace confer
ence with what may be difference OF
opinion cleared away, or on the way
to accomplishment.
Yesterdays review vas a picture
worthy of a great painter, The sight
of 10. 900 American veterans carrying
the United States flag on the soil of
a sister republic. a comrade in arms
in a great cause. vas just a little too
much to permit the President to sup
press his emotion. He frankly adj

Mr.. Wilson's visit to soldiers bill
lets in nearby towns will long be re
membered. At ms place he climbed
a ladder to the loft of a stable to talk
with soldiers quartered there. Every
