 the White House.
WILL START TOUR
 IN 2 WEEKS TIME
Times Plans to Arrive At Coast With New
 Pacific Fleet.

dent Wilson returned to his
 desk today after an absence of
 four months at the peace con-
 ference to find such a mass of
 official business that 1t will
 probably be two weeks before
 he can start on his tour of the
 country, speaking for the
 peace treaty and the League of
 Nations.
 Plans for the trip have not
 yet been completed, but it was
 said at the White House that
 the President would so time his
 schedule as to reach the Pacific
 coast at the time of the arrival
 there of the newly created Pa
 cific fleet.
 President Wilson was represented as being ready to place himself at the disposal of the Senate foreign rela-
 tions committee or other committees of Congress to answer any questions
 concerning the peace treaty and the eague of nations which he will pre- sent to the Senate tomorrow in per son.
 The President remained in bed late today resting after his trip home.
 Rear Admiral Cary T. Grayson his personal physician said the Presi- dent was in splendid health.
 Going to his office shortly before Il
 o'clock the President summoned Sec
 retary Tumulty and they spent some time mapping out a program of work. Most pressing of the many matters hafnra a President appropriation bills recently passed by Congress. In considering the ag- ricultural bill the executive had be- fore him many requests that he veto the measure because of the order re- pealing the daylight saving law. The President remained steadily at work for several hours and was not interrupted. At noon, it was said that none of the bills before him had been signed. It was expected, how ever, that his signature would be at tached to a number of them before the end of the day.
 Refreshed after a nights rest, the | first he has spent at the White House in four months, the President early today began what promised to be one of the busiest days of his career as chief executive of the United States In addition to the vast amount of routine work which had accumulated during his long stay at the peace conference al Paris and which in cluded the signing of number of important appropriation measures passed recently by Congress, the President had planned conferences throughout the day with congression- , al leaders and members of his cabin. I ct and executive staff. It also was expected that if time was available, later the day, the | members of the Senate Foreign Re- | lations Committee would be received at the White House for a conference on the peace treaty
 The President found that every thing had been arranged so that practically every minute of his time would be taken and rapid progress in clearing up routine made possible i The speech he plans to detver before the Senate tomorrow was completed 1 before he landed at New York yes | terday from the George Washington and the chief matter in connection with the League of Nations to be dis | cussed today was the proposed speech making tour over the country. The return of the president and his party to the capital last night was marked by one of the greatest demon
 
 those participating that ever greeted | a president on his return from a trip. District officials familiar with big | crowds estimated the throng that greeted the presidential party at the Union Station and along Pennsylvania Avenue at fully 100000.
 The ceremonies of welcome were brief. Responding to an address of welcome from committee of district | citizens Wilson said he came home | confident that the people of the 1 United States were for the League of Nations. The unexpected welcome, he said, was particularly pleasing be- cause he felt it was immediate as- surance of his feeling."
 It was after midnight when MT. 1 and Mrs. Wilson reached the White THouse from which they had been ab- sent more than fcur months. | Three big army trucks loaded with | trunks and boxes arrived at the White | House before the offices were opened. | The boxes contained official papers | and documents relating to the peace
 negotiations. A large staff of clerks Fimme diately set to work to put the | documents In order.
