Paris. -,SpeciaO. When President
Wilson came to Europe i in December.
1918, he appealed to the masses of Eu-
rope over the heads of their. govern
meiits. Now he is dealing exclusively
with the organized governments of lIu-
rope. When he appeared in Paris a
dozen and sin weeks ago great crowds
packed n Champs l.lysees. His pro-
gress from the arch to the Tuilledies
was Il tremendous triumph. No other
ruler ever had a greater reception. The
day he came to Paris in March. IA

The whistles did not blow: there was
no cheering in the station. There was

than if the village delegate had just
come home from the grand lodge, ready

For instance: A few meanings after
the president arrived, NJ. sinchon the
French minister of foreign affairs,
biandlN announced that the covenant
OF the League of Nations would not
be- included in the preliyGilary treaty
OF peace with the GermanG which would
be signed late in MarCI, or early in
April and which would ssspend hostil-
tiles and end tf.e armist;cc. The next
day, The president sent a wireless to
Mr.. Tumullty advising him to diSre-
gard ru.nors to the contrary and an
nnunce that but one treaty would be
presented to the Senate. Again the
next daV the French minister or foreign
affairs gave out IL statement tllat there
would be TWO Treaties. Thc next day
Colonel House unotficially denied that
there would be two treaties. Back OF
