Genoa was marred by a downpour Of
rain which drenched the president
and all of his party. The streets re-
turned rivers and gale snapped the
fagstaffs. Decorations along the
| streets were soaked and torn and
tapped in the wind. Nevertheless the
president carried out his full program
| including a visit to the monuments of
Columbus and Mazzini and the city
nail where he was given reception.
Whatever arrangements might have
been made to receive the president
were dissolved on his arrival with the
city being lashed by the binding rain
squalls. All the members of the Of
| fetal party except Mr.. Wilson and his
| wife, were compelled to scramble for
! themselves through the troop-lined
streets and make the best way possi-
! BILE back to the official train. The
secret service men, seeking to protect
the president, rejected motor cars and
carriages which were provided by the
local committee but somehow man
aged to get through the program and
back to the train without mishap.
Before leaving Genoa President
Wilson laid a wreath at the sta tue. of

America desires to show others how
they may also share in the freedom Of
the world"
Big Demonstration.
/ The demonstration in Milan was Of
the same character as that in Genoa,
but proportionately greater. in view
OF Mllan's greater size. 1t seemed as
If all the inhabitants and the people
or the surrounding countryside had
i jammed themselves into the squares
and streets along the line of march.
! The president called at the city hall
where the freedom of the city was be-
slowed upon him. He then proceed
ed to the royal palace where he re-
! ceived delegations going thence to La
| Scala, where he dined. While he was
at the palace the great square before
the cathedral was so jammed that the
cathedral had to be closed.
The American secret service de-
clared that they had never taken any
president through such scenes OF
demonstrations or such great crowds.
While the throngs were orderly they
seemed simply wild with enthusiasm
and determined to crowd near to the
president
| 1t was evident that the president
was much fatigued by the strain not
withstanding his enjoyment of the
spectacle.
OF the many incidents of the visit
perhaps the most touching was the
presentation of wounded soldiers of a
memorial favoring a league of ma
tions.
The principal speech delivered by
the president was at the municipal
reception where he reiterated that the
peace must be made in no special in
terest. The president concluded by
saving that he had heard the story Of
1taly's privations and sacrifices in the
! war and added:
Il take off my hat to the great peo-
pie Of Italy and tell them that my ad-
miration is merged into friendship
and affection"

RAILWAY DEPOT
AT CHRoSCHNlK
Ultimatum Sent to German
Leader at Bentschen De-
manding Surrender.

Berlin, Sunday, Jan. 5.-(By the
Associated Press)-Polish troops have
occupied the railway station at
Chroschnik four miles from Bents-
chen, and have sent an ultimatum to
the German commander in the latter
place demanding that he surrender.
The demand has been refused and the
Germans will defend Bentschen at all
cost, according to the Tageblatt.
Bentschen is a town near the boun-
Diary between the provinces of Posen
and Brandenburg and is about forty
three miles southwest of Posen.
Capture of Bentschen by the Poles
would be most serious for Berlin and
all of northern Germany. Its loss to
the Germans would cut communica-
ton between Berlin and Silesia and
would endanger the provisioning Of
Frankfort on the Oder and all of
northern Germany.
The cabinet completed it's consid-
Grafton of the Polish situation today
and directed the ministry Of war to
take the necessary technical steps to
strengthen the eastern frontiers.
When preparations have been COM
pleted which will probably be next
week the cabinet will probably ap-

Republicans in congress said the
effect upon the party as a whole

Democratic leaders took the view
that Col. Roosevelt's loss left the Re-

PARIS, May 7.-(By The Associ- ated Press)-in opening the peace conference, M. Clemenceau, the pre- siding officer, speaking to the Ger man plenipotentiaries, said:
 "it is unnecessary to express needless words. You have before you the pIenipotentiaries of the small and great powers, united in this most cruel war, which was inn posed upon them. The hour has ar rived for heavy settlement of the account"
 Paul Dutasta, secretary general of the peace conference, delivered copy of the treaty to Count won
 Brockdorff- Rantzau, head of the German delegation, who made brief reply.
 Count won Brockdorff- Rantzau said:
 ''We declare that we do not deny the extent of our defeat. We know the power of the German armies is broken"
 He was unable to admit that Ger many was solely culpabIe and de- manded that the allies make peace according to President Wilson's points.
 Germany pledged itself to repair the wrong done to Belgium and gave assurance of the reconstitu-

 "Gentlemen. We are deeply i'm pressed with the sublime task which has brought US hither to give d durable neace to the world. We are under no illusion as to the extent of our defeat and the degree of our want of power. We know that the power of the German arms is broken. We know the power of the hatred which we encounter here, and we heard the passionate demand that the vanquishers may make us pay as the vanquished, and shall punish those who are worthy of being pun ished.
 Tt is demanded from us that we shall confess ourselves to be the only ones guilty of the war. Such a comes sion in my mouth would be a lie. We are far from declining any responsi- bility that this great war of the world has come to pass, and that ia was made in the way in which it was made. The attitude of the former German govern ment, at The Hague peace conference, it's actions and omissions n the tragic l2 days of July, have certainly contrib uted to the disaster.

[Repbblican A. p. Leased wire1

VERSAILLES, May 7.-Following is the address of NJ. Celemenceau to the German delegates at the peace congress today:
 Gentlemen, plenipotentiaries of the German empire:
 Tt is neither the time nor the place for superfluous words. You have be- fore you the accredited plenipotentia- ries of all the small and great powers united to fight together in the war that has been so cruelty imposed upon them. The time has come when we must set tie our account.
 You have asked for peace. We are ready to give you peace. We shall pre- sent to you a book which contains our conditions. You will be given every facility to examine these conditions and the time necessary for it. Every thing will be done with the courtesy that is the privilege of civilized nations.
 ITO give you my thought completely, you will find us ready to give you any explanation you want, but we must say at the same time, that this second treaty of Versailles has cost us too much, not to take on our side all the necessary precautions and guarantees that the peace shall be a lasting one.
 T will give you notice of the pro cedure that has been adopted by the conference for discussion, and if any one has any observations to offer, he will have the right to do so. No oral discussion is to take place, and the ob- servations of the German delega tion wilt have to be submitted in writing.
 The German plenipotentiaries will know that they have the maximum period of b days within which to pre- sent in English and French their writ ten observations on the whole of the treaty. Before the expiration of the aforesaid period of fifteen days, the German delegates will be entitled to send their reply on particular headings of the treaty, or to ask questions in re gard to them.>
 After having examined the observa- tions presented within the aforemen- tioned period, the supreme council vii send their answer in writing to tho German delegation and determine the period within which the final gioba (world wide) answer must be given by | this delegation.
 The president wishes to add .thai when we receive. after two or three ol l four or five days. any observation! | from the German delegation on any | point of the treaty, we shall not wal | until the end of the fifteen days to giv' our answer We shall at once proceed in the way indicated by this document
