King George Greets President j
London, Dec, IS.—When King
George shook hands with President
Wilson as he descended from his
tiain he said: “I am very glad to
greet you to England.” “I am hap
py to come.” the President replied.
English country folk gathered nil
along the railway from Dover to the
suburbs of London to see President
Wilson's train go by. They sat on
fences and clustered on tree tops^
and roosts despite the bitter co'd. for
a glimpse of the train. They waved
and cheered as the train ivent by at
40 miles an hour.

said: "Mr. Mayor: You have certatn
ly extended to me and those who are

gracious hand of w elcome. Even the ,
sea was kind to us this morning and J
gave us a very pleasant passage so;
tliat it tallied perfectly with our ex
pectations of the pleasures wo should
have in landing in England. We have
gone through many serious times to
gether and therefore wc can regard
each other in a new light us com
rudes and associates because nothing
brings men together like a common j
understanding and a common pur
pose. 1 think that in spite of all the
terrible sufferings and sacrifices of
this war we shall some day in look
ing back upon them realize that they1
worn worth while not only because o']
Die security they gave the world j
against unjust aggression hut also ■
because of the understanding they es- j
tahiished between great nations

<f the houses were loaded with folks
fnup the countryside who cared noth
ing for the raw chill wind that swept
over the land or for the occasional
rain or the touch of snow. The Atn.'r

asm* as the crowd. The President's
train arrived at 9 o'clock in the
morning and the party went at once
to the hall where they were inform t!
!v received with speeches. The small
room already had in placy a tablet
commemorating the President there
were speeches all in French, by the
general commanding the district, the
mayor, the prefect. The President
smiled from time to time. The mili
tary band outside then broke into the
strains of the Cattle Hymn of the
IU public.
just as the caravan came upon tne
field overlooking the troops, a very
old French woman standing at the
roadside v. uved frantically at the
passing cats to take some flowers she
wanted to give Mrs. Wilson.
The long line of cars had swept
on. showering the dismayed old wo
man with mud. when the President
caught the situlation and stopping
the line, sent a colonel back through
the mud to get the flowers. Having
taken them in, the ears proceeded.
A temporary hoard walk had been
built over the quagmire of the re
viewing field to 1 he stand, and
there surrounded by Gen. Pershing,
Mrs Wilson. Hear Admiral Clrnyson.
Gen. Digged. Gen. Alexander and
On. Hale commanding the 2Cth
Division. General Pershing opened
the ceremony with a brief speech in
which he presented the victorious
army to the President.” The Presi
dent addressed the troops as "My
fellow countrymen” and a silence,
which he characterized as the quiet
of peace, held down over the shouts
of every man present who stood at
attention and strained to catch the
President's words. The President
spoke for about five minutes earnest
ly and a loudly as he could. Probab
ly half the troops heard him. Every
man taking part in the review had
seen action. War crosses were plen
tiful. t)ip men had been through all
and were veterans in every way.
There was an unmistakable flash of;
pride, in the President’s eye and a
catch in his throat os he looked at
them and remarked what n privilege '
it would ho to have been there. The
band began with a French nir, fol
followed by "The Star Spangled Can

First came t lie men of the 6th Di- !
vision, veterans of the Meuse and

machie suns of the 26th, veterans

ident's wish and plan to dine with the
troops,-but In the crusn of arrange

plan was not carried our. The Fresi- I
dent seemed to enjoy the dinner none ,
