Cablegrams relating to the contro-

European trip and his policies are fol-
lowed here with keen interest In re-
cent speeches number of public men
have proclaimed their hope that Mr.
Wilson would come, TO England, and the
question of extending an official tribute
to him by dispatching a battle cruiser
squadron to meet the George Washing
ton at sea and escort her into British
waters has been discussed.
Although II is now believed that
President Wilson will go direct to
France, Some such action on the part
Of the Admiralty is strongly advocated
by those who hold that Great Britain's
control of the seas has been the domi
mating factor which made 1t possible for
the President now to cross the Atlantic
on peace mission, out of which II Is
hoped to safeguard the freedom of the
world.

fears are expressed that unless the air
