SAN FRANCISCO, Sept II. :
President Wilson became the guest
OF California today, and his fight for
the ratification of the peace treaty
and League of Nations Covenant is
to be carried personally to the peo-
pie of the state electing him presi-
dent in 1916, in speeches here, in Oak
and, at Stanford University and in
Los Angeles and San Diego during
the week. 1t is Wilson's first visit to
the Golden State since he became
president.
Patriotism was rampant lin San
Francisco's greeting of the National
Executive and his retinue this morn
ing. Governor Stephens, Mayor
Rolph and members of the presi-
Dental entertainment and reception
committee were at the Oakland Mole
to greet Wilson when his special
train arrived from the north at 9 a.

presidential party reached the Ferry
Building here at 9:30, amid shrieks of
whistles from the Ferry building and
all steam craft ip that part of the
harbor. Thousands of people crowd
ed about the Ferry and Joined in the
cheering when the party emerged, and
a strong police force was necessary to
restrain those eager to glimpse the

state city and county democratic
leaders and other persons of note,
Wilson traversed Market Street to the
Civic Center through two solid lines
of wildly cheering San Franciscahs
and residents of other Northern Cali
fornian cities. Throughout the length
of his ride, Wilson was kept continual
ly busted bowling and smiling, while
the din Of the welcoming cheers was
incessant from the Ferry to the city
hall. American flags were the chief
motif in the declaration of Market
street and other prominent thorough
fares. There were three arches of
flags spanning Market Street, besides
"a huge floral arch, erected by the To-
cal French colony.
At the Civic Center, the presidents
attention was given to the coming
generation. Thousands of Boy Scouts
stood at attention as he stepped into
the grandstand, and he was cheered
in thousands Of high pitched shouts
as he was presented to the city's
school children and the wounded SOL
diers and marines at Letterman Hos
pital. Owing to the strict orders
against his speaking in the open air,
the president made but few re-
marks at this time.

PALACE HOTEL, SAN FRAN
CISCO, Sept. 17.-President Wilson
made his first appeal direct to wo-
men for ratification of the Peace
Treaty, wheh he addressed 1900 wo-
men at luncheon in this great cara
vansery, today.
Cards asking ratification of the
treaty were distributed at the tables
by the California Women's League
for Peace Treaty, and they were
signed by many.
"Women are for the treaty." as
serted the President, "because thev
want their sons saved from war;"
and he asserted that people of the
world are looking to America to lead
them out of war" He wondered what
is holding men back from ratification
OF the treaty, and he could find no
motive for their attitude.
The Shantung settlement Mr.. Will
son declared unsatisfactory, but
those who want to stay out of the
treaty on that account propose an
irrational thing
"In getting the Shantung conces-
sion from China Germany robbed
China; but at the time those terri
tories were stolen the United States
made no objection" charged the
President, and he asked: "Why those
who oppose Japan's having the Shan
tung concession now were silent
them"
"Shantung is being taken away
from Germany" Mr.. Wilson explain

ceded the territory involved for a
period of nihety-nine year eighty

Evidences OF Oil

In a short descriptive article yes
terday morning "The Oasis" describ-
ed some of the indications of oil bear
ing territory gathered by Doctor
Cleaver, the well known geologist, in
his investigation of the MILESTONE
Mountain strata and the unerring
conclusions that these finds had led
the gentleman to adopt, viz: true oil
sands, true oil shales, with fossil re-
mains of sea snails, such as are found
in all oil bearing rocks. And in the
article of yesterday Doctor Cleaver
was quoted as saying that there is but
one way to determine whether Dame
Nature sealed up and preserved the
oils she deposited in those Milestone
measures, and that is by going down
to where they lie, and test the mat
ter. That is just what the San Pedro
Oil & Gas Company has set out to do.

test wells upon the lands it has ac-
quired; and if pools and channels of
