President Wilson in this country.
read on article in the Paris edition of
the New York Herald which stated
that the Parisians were astonished to
find that Wilson possessed a most like
able smile. They thought the dictator
of America and the father of the -four

serious person. The president has fa-
vorably impressed the European people
wherever he has gone and great re-

The great feat accomplished by the

impressed the Europeans. 1t has done
