PRESIDENT WILSON SAILS ON his
Return. TRIP 70 PEACE CONGRESS
Big Transport Almost Left
Without the New York
Newspapers.
lBy Associated Press.l

NEW YORK, March S. = President
Wilson sailed today on his second trip
to France determined, as he said in
his Metropolitan Opera house speech
here last night, not to come back till
it's over over there"
The transport George Washington
bearing the presidential party left the
Hoboken, N. j., pier at S:15. The chief
executives departure was marked by
simplicity which contrasted with the
noisy demonstration given him when
the George Washington carried Mr..
Wilson from American waters on his
first journey to Paris last December.
Today there was only small crowo
Of persons assembled at the army
transport pied. To these the Presi-
dent waved his hand and Mrs. Wilson
waved farewell greetings as the
George Washington swung out into the
lower Hudson river while the band on
the transport Great Northern, berthed
near by, played The Star Spangled
Banner.
T. Standing of the bridge the President
and his wife saw the American flag
raised on the stan OF the stern and
heard the bombing of the presidential
salute of 81 guns. AS the transport
turned her nose toward the statue Of
Liberty an escort of destroyers got un-
der way ahead. The harbor was near
ly deserted. because of the strike of
marine workers.
Just as the George Washington was
about to sail 1t was discovered that
some one had neglected to bring
aboard the morning newspapers. The
line had been made fast to the gang
plank which was about to be drawn in
when the Presidents orderly, clutch
ing dollar bill in. his hand, rushed
across the plank onythe pier to news.
stand where he purchased the papers
and came running back to the ship.
This incident delayed a few minutes
the vessels departure. These newspa.
pers got on board at,the last moment
contained the text of the speeches Of
the President and William Howard
Taft in support of the League of Ma.
tions at the Metropolitan Opera house
last night. They also told of the ac-
tivity of the President on the evening
of his departure.

Gears are creased, wheels are driv-

ming at full speed, and according tc
the reports submitted last night 200
members were received by the first

work done, with the big nine-tenths
felt, but campaigners agree that the
first day always runs light and no
dismay has been caused among the
workers who are a unit to put It "over
the top"
Today's showing will be much lar
ger and will go a long ways in de-
termining the results of the biggest
''Y" onslaught that the Fairmont Y.

organization has been whipped into

Locate Them All.

Much interest has been manifest in
the banquet to be rendered to returned
soldiers, sailors and marines at the
Y. M. c. A. on Friday evening at 6:15
O'Clock. A program will be rendered
that will be pleasing.
Up until noon 80 returned soldiers
either from service in France or from
the cantonments in this country had
signified their intention Of attending
the dinner at the "Y." A cordial invi.
tation is extended to those in the city

get into touch with the "Y." at once
so that plate might be reserved for
him. The "Y." is making an effort to
locate all of them.

SAFETY FIRST HINTS

Here are a few tips on driving the
motor car.
First assume that you must look out
for yourself and the other fellow, too
Don't rely wholly on the other fellow
doing the right thing, and you'll be or
your gard if he does the wrong thing,
and ready for the emergency.
Never back or swing from the curt
into the street without looking back to
see if the way is clear.
Glance both ways on each cross
street, and if you're not on the main
thoroughfare, slow down before you
cross. It's safest to drive slowly,
enough to have the car well under con-
troll where buildings hide the intersect-
ing streets
Do not cut corners in turning but
keep we'll to your side of the street,
and look both ways before you make
the turn. Put out a hand as guide to
the car following or pproaching.
In passing slower moving .vehical,
pass it on your left.
Do not follow another vehical toe
closely. 1t might stop suddenly.
Dim your lights when approaching
another auto on the road.
Use common sense at all times and
you II save trouble for yourself and the
other fellow.
