LONDON GENUINELY LIKES WILSON.

The genuine warmth of the welcome gwen Ere mt Wilson by the British people is attested Dy ,ndon newspapers and the correspondents at u tv for the American press. This is shown VI early in the following Associated Press article e subject, dated at London, Dec. 27:
 "Londons morning newspapers, having suspended publication since Tuesday TOT .he Christmas holiday, had to find space today for the three-days' news from the world. Nevertheless, by far the largest part or every paper is given over to President VIII sons visit, other news being severely con- densed.
 "Gratiication is expressed over MT. Will sons presence and the peoples joyous wei come, which is declared to have been the warmest tribute to visitor that London mas ever known There is strain of sympa- thetic personal greeting running through all the stories and the writers regard the popular acclamations of the President as being animated by the same spirit.
 President Wilson's journey was a tri- umphal procession from the moment ne landed says The Mail and it was real, sincere affection and no mere curiosity that brought to his the tremendous accla- nation of the people of London
 "The Telegraph says:
 '"The warmth of the welcome to Pres- dent Wilson could not have been exceeded.
 "The Post hopes that MT. Wilson is con- vinced of the sincere cordiality of his well come'
 "'Kings and Emperors arriving as Great Britain's guests were never accorded such moving popular ovation,' says The Chron- icle. Beneath the surface the visit be- tokens a great deal more than that of a head of state and the crowds were well aware of this fact
 1.-The Daily News says:
 "'It peoples welcome, not only ex- pressing gratitude for the Presidents spa cious statesmanship lofty vision and unfail- ing wisdom. but also sending greeting from the free people of Great Britain to the free people of America on the morrow of their joint victory
 "'London never witnessed anything quite like this impressive welcome says The Ex- press. No foreign sovereign was ever so acclaimed by many people,
 "The newspaper devotes a para graph to the impression MT. Wilson made upon the people. It says that comments which overheard were altogether com plimentary.
 "A strong face,' a fine looking man., a proper gentleman and other express sions heard and when American sol diers in the crowd said We guess he is real man, anyway, the people near them in dorsed their sentiments with cheers.
 Newspapers generally refer appreciatively to the gracious bearing of Mrs. Wilson and the Presidents smile."
