 Addressing NJ. Dubost and President Poincare at the luncheon, President 1 Wilson said:
 MT. President of the Senate, MT. President of the Republic: You have made me feel your well come in words as generous as they are delightful and I feel that you have graciously called me your friend. May I not in turn call this company a com pany of my friends, for everything that you have. so finely said, sir, has been corroborated in every circum- stance of our visit to this country. Everywhere we have been welcomed, not only, but welcomed in the spirit and with the same thought, until it has seemed as if the spirit of the two countries came together in an unusual and beautiful accord
 Frances Peril
 We know the long period of peril through which France has gone France thought us remote in eompre- hension and sympathy, and dare say there were times when we did not i comprehend as you eomprehended the danger in the presence of which the world stood.
 Carved Own Fortunes
 There was no time when we did not know how near it was, and I fully understand, sir, that throughout these trying years, when mankind has wait ed for the catastrophe, the anxiety of France must have been the deepest and most constant of all, for she did stand at the frontier of freedom. She had carved out her own fortunes through a long period. of eager strug- gle. She had done great things in building up a great new France, and just across the border. separated from her only by a few fortifications and little country whose neutrality, it has turned out, the enemy did not re- spect, lay the shadow cast by the cloud which enveIeped Germany, the cloud of intrigue, the cloud of dark purpose. the cloud of sinister design. This shadow lay at the very door of France
 And yet it is fine to remember here that for France this was not only q peril, but challenge. France did not hesitate. France quickly and in her own way prepared her sons for the struggle that was coming. She never took the initiative or did single thing that was aggressive She had prepared herself for defense. not in order to impose her will upon other people. She had prepared herself that no other people might impose it's will upon her.
 America and France
 "As l stand with you and as mix with the delightful people of this coun try, see this in their thoughts, Amer ica always our friend Now she un- derstands. Now she comprehends and now she has come to bring us this message; and that understanding, she will always be ready to help And while, as you say, sir, this danger may prove to be a continuing danger, while it is true that France will al ways be nearest this threat, if we cannot turn it from a threat into a promise, there are many elements which ought to reassure France.
 A New World
 There is a new awakened world. It is not ahead of us, but around us. It knows that its dearest interests are involved in it's standing together foI a common purpose. It knows that the peril of France. If it continues, will be the peril of the world It knows that not only France must organize against this peril. but that the world must organize against it..
 An Impressing Welcome
 50 | see in these welcomes not only hospitality. not only kindness, not only hope. but a purpose. a defi- nite, clearly-defined purpose, that men, understanding one another. must now support one another that all the sons Cf freedom are under a common oath to see that freedom never suffers this danger again. That, to my mind, is the impressive element of this wei COt4c- huON HUN UluCu Ol It. SIT, and I know how little of it to appropri- ate for myself.
 A Distinguished Honor
 '.I know that I have the very dis tinguished hcnOr to represent nation whose heart is in this business and l am proud to speak for the people whom I represent But I know that you honor me in a representative character l delight in this welcome as if I had brought the people of the United States with me and they could see in your faces what see. the tok- ems of welcome.
 Frances Reward
 The sum of the whole matter is that France has earned and has won the brotherhood of the world. She has stood at the chief post of danger and the thoughts Of mankind and her brothers everywhere, her brothers in frpPdOm turn tO her and cpnfpr unO0
