PREMIERS AT ONCE


Continued from First Page
conversation The American President
did not linger long on the station plat
form. He let his han6 .liuger longer in
that Of NJ. Clemenceau than any other
and spoke earnestly to the Premier as
they strolled down the long platform.
After he had congratulated NJ. Glenn
enceau on his escape from death by the
assassin's bullets the Premier turned
and smilingly said. my hide is too thick
for little piece of lead to do me any
harm"
Emerging from the station President
Wilson Immediately entered a motor car,
which drove at high speed along the
left bank OF the Seine. crossing the
river on the Alma Bridge. Arriving In
the Place des Etats Unis the streets were
virtually deserted. a fact sharply In con-
trast with the Presidents appearance in
Paris just three months ago to-day
President Wilson got to work irnmedi-
ately after his arrival at his new resi-
dence In the Place des Etats Unis, Pre-
mier Lloyd George was waiting there
for the President and the two had a
long conference The President then
went into conference at the Hotel de
Crillon with Premier Clemenceau, Pre-
mier Lloyd George and Col. House.
When the President arrived, accompan-
led by Mrs. Wilson, he was cheered by
the crowds around the hotel and he
acknowledged the greeting with Il salute.
The President Is fully conversant with
the work accomplished by the peace
delegates. During his voyage from the
United States he was constantly in COM
munication with Paris by wireless Col
House took to Brest a large number of
papers bearing on the work of the con-
ference during the Presidents absence.
The President spent several hours last
night in going through the papers and
receiving explanations from Col. House.
He resumes work with n grasp of the
matters under discussion.
Alliance Held Necessary.
In commenting on the return OF Presi-
dent Wilson to Paris, the Mdtin says:
THE alliance with the United
States is necessary to the peace of
the world 'and to the existence of
France. 1t means forever precious
help against possible aggressions.
France looks upon Mr.. Wilson as the
powerful friend who splenddly helped
her to win and will now stand by her
when she Is to make her legitimate
demands heard"
The Petit Pdrisier says:
THE decisive days are near at
hand for the Peace Conference. The
President OF the United States will
Join in the supreme debates. He
will exercise his personal influence
on behalf Of the whole OF humanity.
He returns from the new world after
fighting his opponents and the scep-
tics with new prestige arising from
ms splendid speech at the Metropoh-
tan Opera House"
LHomme Libre says: mfr. VIII
son will bring TO the Peace Confer
ence an accurate idea of the real
wishes OF his country and of the
political necessities which in the
present condition of the American
political situation must be conclliated
with the pursuit OF the Ideal OF in
:crnat!oGai cooperation. u I'll! ncw
be all the more easy to make this
adjustment, as the labors of the con-
ference have progressed greatly, A
few sittings will no doubt be suf-
ficient for the realization of unani-
nous accord between the heads OF
the great democracies with regard TO
the principal questions. territorial ar
engagements and military, naval.
aerial. economic, financial and social
conventions. In short. the covenant
Of an association of free nations.
Everything is ready for a final
and brief consideration The people
expect 1t and hope that peace will
soon give them cause to be fully
satisfied with their ENJOYS"
The journal says that It means early
md positive results from the Peace Con-
ference, adding:
There is no doubt the President
comes back with the full resolve to
wind up the war promptly"
The editorial writers are also &C.
cup!ed with the present state of public
opinion in America. Figaro says that
the United States, by sharing in the
war and by the prominent role II Is
playing at the Peace Conference, has
become one of the principal actors in
European and world policies, but adds:
But will the United States desire
to be OF the same mind once the
treaty of peace is signed? Will it not
rather yield and go home for good,
leaving old Europe to work out it's
salvation by itself? The sudden with
drawal OF the United States would
have regrettable consequences be-
cause there are several problems which
we, the British, Italians and French.
would settle in quite a different way
than II America was a factor. As
far as can be judged, however. It
does not seem that such an eventu-
atty is to be feared.
Making all allowances for inter-
nal political quarrels in America, II
may be said that President wilson's
policy in its main lines Is approved by
majority of his fellow citizens.
Many OF them. It Is true. ask for
notifications OF the League of Ma
lions plan, but, after all, at the pres
ent time it is only a draft OF the
text"
