Clears Brest Sunday After noon Little Demonstra- tion Attends Final Depar- ture - Mrs. Wilson Re membered = Battleship Oklahoma Conveys George Washington Home

BREST, June 29.-(By the Asso- ciated Press)-President Wilson sailed from Brest today on his return to the United States. The U. S. $. George Washington, carrying the presidential party, steamed from the har5or at 2:20 o'clock thus afternoon.
 The departure of the president from France caused little excitement in this port There was only distance Of fifty feet from where his special train stopped to where a motor launch was waiting to convey him to the George Washington. There was little cheering and applause from several thousands who had gathered at the authorization pier. A procession of socialists, singing the "Internationale' debouched from the Rue Siam, as the resident walked across the pier. The president waved his silk hat to the paraders.
 Gathered on the wharf were French and American officials. The first to greet the president we're Admiral H. Sa- laun and Admiral E. N. Brett of the French navy. Rear Admiral A. $. Hal stead of the American navy and Major General E. A Helmick and Brigadier General Smedley Butler greeted the president in turn.
 Mrs. Wilson Remembered
 Mrs. Wilson was presented with a boquet of Britanny roses by Mrs. Josephine Lewis of Cincinnati, repre- senting the American Red Cross in France. Mrs. Wilson wore a navy blue tailored dress and a handsome but simple little hat, apparently the latest creation from the rue de la Paix. She smiled and thanked Mrs. Lewis and then chatted briefly with her. Mrs. Wilson appeared tired and fatigued and apparently was in 6 urry to reach the launch. .....t+f..t --
 The band of the. Tenth Chasseurs played "The Star Spangled Banner" and "The Marseilles," as the president as- cended the steps of the launch. As the launch went into the. stream, a company of marines and veterans of the Yser, presented arms, while cries of ''vive Wilsoni" '.vive. Amerika," "yive la Paix!p arose. The president stood aft on the launch waving his hat at the crowd on the national bridge The launch was lost to view down the harbor, just as the socialist paraders reached the cliffs overlooking the har- bor.
 This is America" were the presi- dents words as he shook hands with Captain Edward McCauley, aboard the George Washington. The president and | Mrs. Wilson retired to their staterooms as the engines and machinery began to roar and final orders were given.
 Ship Soon Disappears
 Luncheon was served at one o'clock and the meal had just been completed when the George Washington began to make headway out of the harbor. The battleship Oklahoma led the way.
 AS the transport moved out, the president appeared on the bridge wear ing a cap. Rear Admiral Grayson, his physician, stood nearby. The presi- = dent was silent as he. gazed at the disappearing shores of France.
 The weather was perfect and there was scarcely a ripple on the ocean as the George Washington emerged from the Brest roads into the Atlantic The French destroyers Fanion and Carquoie escorted the presidential squadron to the Ushant light. After saluting with their sirens and guns they returned to Brest
 As the George Washington disap- peared in the summer haze, the presi dent stood on the bridge waving a farewell answer to the salute of the French warships.
 Wilson Writes Editorial
 LONDON, June 29,-A peace mes- sage from President Wilson to the Daily Mail and the Weekly Dispatct is printed this morning in the latter publication. It follows:
 Many things crowd into the mint to be said about the peace treaty, bui the thought that stands out in front o, all others is, that by the terms of the treaty the greatest possible measur, of compensation has been provided fol peoples whose homes and lives wer, wrecked by the storm of war, and SC, curity has been given them that tn, I storm shall not arise again Insofar as we came together to insure thes, things, the work of the conference i. finished, but in a larger sense it's worl begins today. In answer to an un. mistakable appeal, the league of ma tions has been constituted and a CO venant has been drawn which show. the way to international understand ing and peace.
 We stand at the cross roads, how ever, and the way is only pointed out : Those who saw through the travail o the war the vision of world made se 2 cure for mankind, must now conse f crate their lives to it's realization"
