President Woodrow Wilson

In appointing a personal representa- tive to attend the great Pageant of Freedom given by the League of the Southwest at San Diego in November 1917, President Wilson said:
 Judging from their actions of tie last few years, the people of San Diego are the people who do things. l thlnk lbey are the most interesting peep c in the United States, and when I can find time. 1 intend to get better ac- quainted with them.'
 Ebert Hubbard
 -In San Diego, love, labor and science have formed triple alliance, and the result is "Ihe Celestial City Of Sine Min6s," walled by courtesy, protected by kindness, fortified by health, patrolled by truth. If you do not know San Diego, you do not know California; and if you do not know California, you do not know Amer ca. In San Diego the high cost of living. like winter, exists only as an un- founded rumor; hard times is a chem ical trace; poverty pleasantly
 Gen. J. p. O'Neil

 Tn all my thirty -four years of bar racks life. l have never lived in cleaner city morally than San Diego"

 pr. F. H. RedewiIl. Phoenix San Diego, when think of thee, then
 my state,
 Like a large at break of day arising
 from sullen earth,
 Sings hymns at heavens gate; For, thy great resources remembered,
 such wealth brings,
 That (while living here) I scorp to
 change my seat with kings
 Rear Admiral C. w. Parks
 You are going to have some fine Improvements in your harbor. The marine corps reservation will be a beauty spot of the city. The work has been proceeding rather slowly, but you will be pleased with the results when 1t is finished. We have just begun what will be one of the finest naval training stations in the United States
 There is no climate in the country that lends itself so readily to the needs of training station as that of San Diego. We are not obliged to heat building to 90 degrees and then send men out into temperature of 30 de- grees to drill. It is never hot and never cold here"
 Gen. A. w. Greeley
 When General A. W. Greedy, as chief signal officer of the army, was at the head of the U. s. weather service. he published a paper On the climates of the United States. In it he said:
 The American public is familiar, on all sides with elabroate detailed state- ments of the weather at a thousand and one resorts. If we may believe all we read in such reports. the tenn perature never reaches the sos, the sky is flecked with just enough cloud to perfect the landscape. the breezes are always balmy ard the nights ever cool.
 There is possibly one place in the | United States where such conditions prevail-a bit of country about forty miles square at the extreme south western part of the United States, in which San Diego is situated"
