is very tired as result of his long
and arduous peace labors but is highly
pleased with the results OF his work
in Paris He plans to devote the
greater portion of the homewart
voyage to resting.
IN The president is preparing to ad-
dress congress reviewing what has
taken place since the peace discus
sions opened
Numerous messages of congratu-
A lation continued to pour In upon the
president this morning. He devoted
considerable time to answering tho
cordial fluctuations from the rulers
OF yarious European countries and
otherpersonages who had wished him
Gowspetd.
1t is expected that the president
will reach New York harbor next
Monday making the voyage from
Brest in eight days. According to

"a Presidents Copy.
THE copy Of the treaty which Presi-
dert Wilson is taking with him con-
tains nothing especial. Printed
upoa ordinyry book paper are the
final termsf along with them the
orikinal tetms SO that they can be
cchpared and in order that the cor-
rectneJs cannot be questioned.
~ Secretary Lansing has been di-
rected to handle the American side
of the negotiations and he will keep
the president posted upon all, develop
ments. 1t is generally expected that
a way out of the difficulty will finally
be evolved. However 1t Is stated as
positive fact that the United States
will not accept the pact of London
as a basis Of settlement in any man
ner whatsoever,
(The pact Of London was drawn
up among Great Britain, France and
Italy, by which territorial conces-
sions were promised to Italy in the
event she entered the war on the side
of the entente. /, The United States
was never party to this agreement)
1t, is already regarded as certain
that the president will denounce ef-
forts to nullify the treaty through the
passage Of resolutions similar to that
OF Senator Falls. Such action
Wonld be- oharhc hcterized asrtaizing the
side OF Germany. However, 1t is
likely that d great portion of the op-
position will disappear when all OF
the facts have been presented to the
American congress and the American
public.
In addition to being a presidential
ship, the George Washington might
be termed bridal boat" as she is
carrying seven French war brides to
the United States. These young
women married American, soldiers
just before sailing.
That new era in the worlds his
tory will be ushered in by the peace
treaty as signed is indicated by the
tenor of the messages of congrat
ulation sent to President Wilson by
foreign rulers and by the replies.
