Kev Vo1 T,m" Co' London, Dee. 27. Th British press this morning- ex pramd .Treat enthusiasm over the visit of President "Wilson. The Morning Post said: "The President of the United States we trust Is convinced of the slnccro cor. dlallty of welcome in this country. It Is mtlnely marked by ceremonial, but behind the pageantry Is a h'frtyd'irfre tt saluto the representative of the crest western republic, both in his own per son and in his capacity as President of great nation which Is allied to this Country by ties of common orWn and linked with common Interests ana S Above nil. the American people, i. the President said yesterday, are Joined with the British peop to In the irreatest adventure known to history for SS permanent suppression of the enemy of civilization." The Dally Mall said; "It was real and sincere affection and no mere curiosity that brought to Pres ident "Wilson's delighted ear tho tre mendous acclamations of London yestcr day afternoon. All desired to see what miner of man It was who threw he word of tho western world Into tho scale which turned tho war and to know by actual sight the great republican who hid crossed the Atlantic to make a dis tracted and war-torn Europe also a safer world for democracy. IJrltatn Is clad to the heart that the great Presi dent has come among us. We havs made a new friendship and built a strong bul wark of peace." The Dally News said: "It would be an Insensible mind that could witness without emotlonB of pro found gratitude the spectacle of the President of the republic which the folly of an English king did so much to create riding through our streets side by side with a sovereign of a more en lightened day. In that scene we saw not only an erasure of the past, a cleans ing of the book of memory of a long tale of estrangement: we saw In It a symbol of reconciliation and the opening of a new and happier chapter, not only In the history of the English-speaking races, but In tho history of tho whole human family, of whom those races form so powerful a governing part. It was well that such an occasion shouM be celebrated as a popular festival." The Dally Express said: "The visit of President Wilson to King George V Is nn event to which there Is no parallel In history. It marks the breaking down of the last barrier be tween the two great English-speaking democracies. The bread of freedom which was cast upon the Atlantic In the seventeenth century, when the May flower sailed for the new world, has been found again after many days. Lib erty, exiled for a moment, has returned across the seas to keep free the Old World with a million marching feet." The Dally Telegraph comments as follows: 'To many of us the coming of Presi dent Wilson Is apart altogether from the circumstances which brought It about. It Is the visible realisation of a hope that had been dear to us throughout life, and although we never doubted of It In the end, It would bo vain to pretend thot wo over expected It to take this, the most striking and most-to-be-deslred of Imaginable forms. That Is why the enthusiasm with which wo greet tho President is of a particular quality, dif ferent In kind from what wo felt In receiving other guests whom we were equally delighted to honor. Blood, language, law and common political ancestry glvo sanction to the drawing together of the world's great English speaking commonwealths 'Which Is signalized by the presence among us today of tho head of a State sprung from unmixed British stock. The Chronicle's editorial says: "It Is obvious that the Presidents visit betokens a good deal more than that of tho head of a state crowned or uncrowned, and the cheering crowds In our streets were and will bo well awaro of It. In the first placo Mr. Wilson re presents America, tho country of which no Englishman ever thinks qulto as ho thinks of other nritlons, since It speaks our language, shares our literature, and has built up Its fabric of ordered liberty on tho basis of Ideas which aro also largely common to us. In tho second place, ho comes as the spokesman and champion of a point of view regarding international olTalrs In which as a na tion wo are deeply Interested, since It Is tho one for which It Is sometimes more and sometimes less clearly seen that the majority of our 800,000 dead laid down their lives."
