 The demonstration attending the Presidents arrival in Paris for his sec ond visit lacked the magnitude of that upon the occasion of his initial ap- pearance last December. Nevertheless it was spontaneous and cordial.
 The people had been purposely kept in ignorance as to- which railroad sta ton his train would enter. The Presi- dent had requested this as he desired to come into the capital this time merely as a private citizen. Nevertheless, the population heard early in the day that the station selected was the Invalides and they had assembled there In great numbers by the time his train was due
 The presidential party was met at the station by President Poincare and Mad anne Poincare, Premier Clemenceau, Foreign Minister Pichon and Andre Tardieu, General Berdeoulat. the mili- tary governor of Paris; Major General Mordacq, head of the military cabinet of the minister of war; Secretary Lansing. General Bliss, Henry White of~the peace comm ssion. Ambassador Sharp and Ad- miral Benson.
 CORDIAL GREETING
 President Poincare gave President Wilson a cordial greeting during brief conversation. With Premier Clemen- ceau the American executive spoke for sometime, congratulating the French statesman on his escape from death in the recent attempt to assassinate him.
 President Wilson appeared to be in excellent health and spirits

Premier Lloyd George was waiting there for the President and the two had long conference. The President then arranged for conference at tho Hotel De Crillon this evening with Premier CIemenceau, Premier Lloyd George and Colonel House.
 The President is fully conversant with the work accomplished by the peace delegates.
 During his voyage from the United States he was constantly in communica ton with Paris by wireless. Colonel House took to Brest large number of papers bearing on the work of the conference during the Presidents ab- seEce.
 The President spent several hours last night in going through the papers and receiving explanations from Col onel House. He resumes work with a grasp of the matters under discus- sion.
 The President did not tarry on the sta tion platform. He let his hand finger long CT in that of M. Clemenceau than anyone else, and spoke earnetly to the premier as they strolled down the long platform. After he had congratulated M. Clemen- eeau on his escape from death by the assassins bullets, the premier turned and smilingly said, My hide is too thick for little piece of lead to do me any harm 2

Arriving in the Place Des Etats the streets were virtually deserted, fact sharply in con trast with the Presidents appearance Tn Paris just three months ago today.
 President Wilson conferred with Ere mier Lloyd George, Premier Clemenceau and Col. Edward M. House in the latter's office at o'clock this afternoon When the President arrived, accompanied by his wife, he was cheered by the crowds around the Hotel de Crillon, and he ac- knowledged the greeting with salute.
