The King and Mr.. Wilson then re-
at the station, while The band played
THE Star-Spangled Banner" After a
short conversation in the royal waiting
room, the King and Mr.. Wilson APP
peared in front of the station. This
was a signal for great outburst of
enthusiasm, cannons being fired, SOL
diers presenting arms and the historic
bell on the Capitol ringing, which is
done only on greatest national occa
sions.
At the Plaza Eseara, Prince Prospero
Colonna, the Mayor Of Rome, surround
ed by Aldermen and liveried servants,
awaited the arrival of the procession.
Prince Colonna delivered an address, in
which he welcomed the President in
the name of the Eternal City and eX-
pressed the gratitude of Rome and
Italy for all America did materially
and spiritually to win the war.
This imposing scene occurred in the
huge square bounded on one side by
the venerable ruins of the Diocletian
baths and on the other by scmicircular
buildings gayly decorated with palms,
flowers and streamers bearing the
names of redeemed Italian cities. The
moment Prince Colonna's address was
over the cheering broke forth once
more with redoubled vigor
Smile Causes Ovation
The procession turned down the Via
Nazionale, long, straight thorough
fare leading almost directly to the
Quirinal. The smile of the President
caused an ovation, which became more
tremendous as he drove along From
windows flowers were showered upon
Mrs. Wilson and Miss Wilson. They
acknowledged the peoples salutatons,
their bows producing even greater out
bursts of enthusiasm.
The King and the President drove in
the same carriage, with the Queen and
Mrs. Wilson in the next.
When the Presidential party arrived
at the Quirinal the military bugles
blared forth and the guard Of honor
presented arms, while the square, al
ready full, became packed to its capac-
ity with the streams of humanity pour
ing in from all sides and calling loudly
for Preside Wilson to appear on the
balcony
The President and Mrs Wilson, to-
gether with their royal hosts, respond
ed to the call. The sight of them on
the balcony was the signal for the eli
max of the demonstration. The crowd
seemed completely to have lost it's
senses, the people cheering unres train
eddy for President Wilson and for
America. The Presidential party was
obliged to appear several times on the
balcony to satisfy the clamors of the
people.
Reception Inside Palace
When President Wilson and his party
reached the Quirinal from the railway
station they were conducted inside the
palace to the Throne Room, where there
was an informal reception. Mrs. Wilson
and Queen Helena chatted for few
moments while the President talked
earnestly with King Victor Emmanuel,
Premier Orlando and others. The mas
sive staircases were lined with the
young men of the Kings Household
Guard.
President and Mrs. Wilson later took
luncheon with the royal family at the
Villa Savoy, which is just outside the
walls of the city, standing in magni-
ficent park.

ton President Wilson was the first to
allght. He shook hands with King
victor Emmanuel, who introduced him
to Queen Helena. In the meantime,
Mrs. Wilson and Miss Margaret, W.
Wilson joined them. The King vel
coined Mr.. Wilson cordially to the
Italian capital and introduced members
of the party to the official welcoming
delegation. The King said to Mr.
Wilson:
81 hope you will feel at home here"
TO be in Rome is one of my greatest
Pleasures" answered Mr.. Wilson.

She must needs attempt to conquer
the world by arms, and the world will
always acclaim the fact that it is i'm
possible to conquer by arms; that the
only thing that conquers it is the
sort of service which can be rendered
in trade, in intercourse, in friend

power which can suppress the free

that seemed to run before them as
they advanced, but never have they

it, and believe l am not deceived in
supposing that in this age Of ours
they are nearer to it than they ever
were before. The light that shone
upon the summit now seems to shine
almost at our feet, and if we lose it
it will only be because we have lost
