1T would anyhow give the presi-

as amt II the limit what you got to

must cost the English aristocracy
fortune for such things" Abe said.

'weil. I guess the president wasn't
in no danger OF running out OF
tropics OF conversation while he was
in England. Abe" Morris said,
which during all the spare time Mr..
Wilson had on his trip he did moth
ing but hold conversations with Mr..
Balfour. and this here Lord George,
and you could take II from me, Abe.
there wasn't many pauses to be filled
up by Mr.. Wilson saying amt it

aGays or something like that"
How do you know" Abe asked.
WAS you there?"
II wasn't there" Morris said. but
last night I was speaking in the
lobby OF the hotel 70 one OF them
newspaper reporters which made
the trip with the President, and after
] had given the young Teller one of
the cigars We brought with US from
New York. he got quite friendly and
told me all about II. It seems, Abe,
that the visit was a wonderful sue
cess. in particular the first day Mr..
Wilson was in England. The weather
was one OF the finest days they had
in winter over fin England for years
already. Only six inches OF rain and
the passage across the English chan
mel was so smooth for this time Of
the year that less than so per cent
OF the passengers was III as against
the normal percentage OF 99.31416.
As Mr.. Wilson had requested that no
fuss should be made over his visit.
things was kept down as much as
possible. so that on leaving Calais.
the Presidents boat was escorted by
only 10 torpedo boat destroyers. a
couple battleships. three cruisers and

There was also a simple and infOr
nal escort OF about so airy-Oplanes.

However. Abe. all this simplicity was
nothing compared 90 the way they
noted when the President arrived at
Dover. There the arrangements was
what you might expect when the
President Of a plain democratic peo-
pie visits the country OF another
plain democratic people, Abe. The
only people there 70 meet them was
about &C or 80 dukes. a few Fiel1
Narshals. three regiments OF -.
diers including the bands and so.v.s-

says he at first took for CarusO in
the second act OF Aida and after
wards proved TO be the mayor OF
Dover ia his official costume.
The ceremony OF welcoming AR
and Mrs Wilson 20 the shores OF
England was very short, the whole
thing being practically over in two
hours and thirty minutes" Norris
continued. 1T consisted or either
the firing OF a Presidential salute Of
81 guns or the playing or the Amer
lean National Anthem by the massed
bands OF three regiments. the re-
porter says he couldn't tell which.
