WILSON SPEAKS
 AT POINCARE' $
 FARE WELL FEAST

PARIS, June 26-(By the Associated Press)-Preslden5 Poincare tonight gave dinner to President Wilson and all the delegates to the peace confer ence. Mrs. Wilson accompanied the president.
 Responding to an address made by NJ. Poincare. President Wilson said:
 T thank you most sincerely for the words that you have uttered. l can not pretend, sir, that the prospect of going home is not very delightful to me, but I can say with the greatest sincerity that the prospect of leaving France is very painful 10 me.
 T have received a peculiarly gener- ous welcome here, and it has been pleasing for me to feel that that vel come was intended not so much for myself as for the people whom l rep present. And the people of France know how to give a welcome that makes a mans heart glad. They have spon- taneity about them, simplicity of i friendship which is altogether delight ful.
 q feel that my stay here, sir. has enlightened both my heart and my mind It has enabled me personally to ] see the 6V1QeilCS Ol lIlt SuIi6lA anu lliN sacrifices of France. It has enabled me ] to come into personal touch with the | leaders of the French people, and 1 through the medium of intercourse i with them, to understand better, hope 1 than 1 understood before. the motives i the ambitions and the principles which actuate this great nation. It has | therefore, heen to me a lesson in the roots of friendship in those things which make intercourse of nations profitable and serviceable for all the rest of mankind.

 We have been constantly in the ! presence of each others minds anC motives and characters, and the com radeships which are based upon tha' sort of knowledge are sure to be very much more intelligent, not only, but to breed a much more intimate sym pathy and comprehension than could otherwise be created.
 These six months have been sil months which have woven new fiber: of connection between the hearts o our people. And something mt thar friendship and intimate sympathy ha come out of this intercourse.
 "Friendship is a very good thing Intimacy is a very enlightening thing But friendship may end with sentiment A new thing that has happened is tha we have translated our common prin ciples and our common purposes into common plan. When we part we ar not going to part with a finished work but with a work, one portion of whicl is finished, and the other portion o which is only begun.
 "We have finished the formulation of the peace. but we have begun a plal of cooperation which I believe vii broaden and strengthen as the year go by so that this grip of the hand tha we have taken now will need to be re laxed We have been and shall con tinue to be comrades We shall con tinue to be co-Workers in tasks, whicf because they are common, will weav out of our sentiments a common con ception of duty and a common concep tion of the rights of men of every rae and of every cline. If it be true tha that has been accomplished, it is very great thing
