pies Of Europe, were thoroughly dis.

Christmas day with the American
troops there. iGenerah cPershing was
his host, but the president devoted
much Of his time to the doughboys and
fboth he and they enjoyed the, day i'm
lmehsely. A review Of 10000 American
troops was tabfeatureo of the days do
ings. In the course of hisSaddress to
the men Of the First army Mr. Wilson
said: hi"It was the privilege Of Amer
lea to present the chart for peace and
now the process Of settlement has
been made comparatively simple by
The fact that all the. nations concerned
