MUST LET THE PEOPLE DECIDE OPINION OF ALL AMERICA WILL BE HEARD IN DECISION ON PEACE LEAGUE. all Friendly to u. s. WIL80N DELIVERS 8PEECH AT MECHANIC8 HALL IN BOSTON TO BIG CROWD. Western Newspaper Upion News Service Boston, Feb. 24.—President Wilson made the following speech at Mechan ics Hall In Boston, after landing from his trip back from Europe. “Governor Coolidge. Mr. Mayor, Fel low Citizens: “I wonder If you are half as glad to see me as I am to see you. It warms my heart to see a great body of my fel low citizens again, because in some re spects during the recent months I have been lonely indeed without your com radeship and counsel and I tried at ev • ery step of the work which fell to me to recall what I was sure would be your counsel with regard to the great matters which were under considera tion. “I do not want you to to think that r I have not been appreciative of the ex ' traordlnary generous reception which was given to me on the other side, in saying that it makes me very happy to get home again. I do not mean to say that I was not very deeply touched by the cries that came from the great Crowds on the other side. But I want to say to you in all honesty that I felt them to be a call of greeting to you, rather than tXf me. “I did not feel that the greeting was personal. I had In my heart the over crowning pride of being your repre sentative, and of receiving the plaudits of men everywhere who felt that your hearts beat with theirs In the cause of liberty. “There was no mistaking the tone in the voices of those great crowds. It was not a tone of mere greeting. It was not a tone of mere generous welcome, tt was the calling or comrade to com rade. the cry that comes from men who say, *We have waited for this day when the friends of liberty should come across the sea and shake hands with us. to see that a new world was con structed upon a new basis and founda tion of Justice and right.’ “I can't tell you the inspiration that came from the sentiments that came out of those simple voices In the crowds. And the proudest thing 1 have to report to you is that this great country of ours Is trusted throughout the world. “I have not come to report the pro ceedings or the results of the proceed ings of the peace conference; that would be premature. I can say that I have received very happy impressions from this conference—the Impression that, while thero are many differences of Judgment, while there are some di vergencies of object, there is. never theless. a common spirit and a common realisation of the necessity of setting up new standards of right in the world. “Because the men who are In con ference realise as keenly as any Amer ican can realise that they are not the masters of their people, that they are the servants of their people, and that the spirit of their people has awakened to a new purpose and a new conception rtf their power to realise that purpose, iand that no man dare go honle from It hat conference and report anything noble than was expected of it. “The conference seems to you to go slowly, from day to day In Paris it seems to go slowly; but I wonder If you realise the complexity of the task which it has undertaken. It seems as If the settlements of this war affect, and affect directly, every great—and. I sometimes think, every small—nation In the world, and no one decision can be made which Is not properly linked in with the great series of other deci sions which nrtlst accompany It. and It must be reckoned on with the final re sult. If the real quality and character of that result la to be properly Judged. “What we are doing Is to hear the whole case; hear It from the mouths of the men most Interested; hear It from those who are officially commis sioned to state It; hear the rival claims; hear the claims that affect hew nationalities, that affect new areas of the world, that affect new com mercial and economic connections that have been established by the great world war through which we have gone. “And I have been struck by the mod erateness of those who have presented national claims. I can testify that I believe I have nowhere seen the gleam of passion. I have seen earnestness. I have seen tears come to the eyes of men who pled for down-trodden peo ples whom they were privileged to speak for. but they were not the tears of anger, they were the tears of ar dent hope. “I don't see how any man can fall to have been subdued by these pleas, subdued to this feeling, that he was not there to assert an Individual Judg ment of his own. but to try to assist the cause of humanity. “And In the midst of It all every In terest seeks out. first of all, when It reaches Paris, the reprtfeatatlves of the united States. Why? Because— and I think I am stating the most won derful fact In history—because there Is no nation In Europe that suspects the motives of the United 8tates. 1 "Was there ever so wonderful a “thing seen before? Was there ever so moving a thing? Was there ever any fact that so bound the natlbn that had won that esteem forever to de serve It? “I would not have you understand .that the great men who represent the other nations there In conference are dlsesteemad by those who know them. Quite the contrary. * But you under stand the countries of Europe have again and again clashed with one an other In competitive Interests. It Is Impossible for men to forget the sharp Issues that were drawn between them In past times. “it !• Impossible for men to believe that all ambitions have all of a sud den been foregone. They remember territory that was coveted; they re member rights that It was attempted to extort: they remember political am bitions which it was attempted to real ise, and while they believe that men have come Into a different temper, they cannojt forget these things and so they do not resort to one another for a dis passionate vley of the matters In con troversy. They resort to that nation which has won the enviable distinction Prince Leopold Held for Crime. Gpneva. Prince .Leopold, former of the {Herman armies on the Russian front, has Keen Imprisoned at Munich on suspicion of being one of the instigators of the mitfder of Premier Eisner. A list of pereons to be assassinated by the re actionaries is said to have been found, and It is asserted that It has been de cided to take twenty hostages from among the aristocracy. All the stu dents in the university have been starched. A provisional ministry has of being regarded as tha friend ef mankind. "Whenever it is desired to send a small force of soldiers to occupy a piece of -territory where it Is thought nobody else will be welcome, they ask for American soldiers. And where other soldiers would be looked upon with suspicion and perhaps met with resistance, the American soldiers are welcomed with acclaim. *T have had so many grounds for pride on the other side of the water that I am very thankful that they are not grounds for personal pride, but for national pride. If they were grounds for personal pride I’d be the most stuckup man in the world. And it has been an infinite pleasure to me to see those gallant soldiers of ours, of whom the constitution of the United States made me the proud commander. “You may be proud of the Twenty six division, but I commanded the Twenty-sixth division (Isaighter and applause), and see what they did un der my direction! And everybody praises the American soldier with the feeling that in praising him he is sub tracting from the credit of no one else. “I have been searching for the fun damental that converted Europe to believe in us. Before this war Eu rope did not believe in us as she does now. She did not believe In us throughout the first three years of the war. She seems really to have be lieved that we were holding off be oause we thought we could make more by staying out than by going in. And all of a sudden, lit a short eighteen months, the whole verdict is reversed. There can be but one explanation for it. They saw what we did—that with-* out making a single claim we put all our men and all our means at the dis posal of those who were fighting for their homes, in the first Instance, but for a cause, the cause of human rights and Justice, and that we went In. not to support their national claims, but to support the great cause which they held in common. “And when Uiey saw that America not only held ideals, but acted Ideals, they were converted to America and became firm partisans of those ideals. “I met a group of scholars whets I was in Paris. Some gentlemen from one of the Greek universities who had come to see me. and In whose pres ence. or rather In the presence of whose traditions of learning. I felt very young Indeed. And I told them that I had had one of the delightful revenges that sometimes come to a man. All my life I have heard men speak with a sort of condescension of Idealists and particularly of those sep arate. Inclolstered persons whom they chose to term academic, who were in the habit of uttering Ideals In the free atmosphere when they clash with no body in particular. “And I have said I have this sweet revenge. Speaking with perfect frank ness In the name of the United States, I have uttered as the objects of this great war. ideals and nothing but ideals, and the war has been won by that inspiration. Men were fighting with tenso muscle and lowered* head, until they came to realise those things, feeling they were fighting for their lives and their country. sM when these accounts of what It was all about reached them from America they lift ed their heads, they raised their eyes to heaven; then they saw men in khaki coming across the sea In the spirit of crusaders and they found that those were strange men. reckless of danger not only, but reckless because they seemed to see something that made danger worth while. Men have testified to me In Europe that men were possessed by something they could only call religious fervor. They were not like any of the other soldiers. They had a vision, they had a dream, gnd they were fighting in the dream and fighting in the dream they turned the whole tide of battle and It never came back. “And now do you realise this confi dence we have established throughout the world Imposes a burden ( upon us? If you choose to call It a burden. It Is one of those burdens which any na tion ought to be proud to carry. Any man who resists the present tides that run In the world will find himself thrown upon a shore so high and bar ren that- ft will seem as If he had been separated from his human kind for ever. “I ln.vlte him to test the sentiments of the nation. We set this nation up to make men free and we did not con fine our conception and purpose to America. “Now,’* said the President, “this con ference -we have established calls for something. The Europe I left was full of hope. The Europe of the third year of the war was sinking to a stubborn desperation. They thought the end of the war would eventually be a resump tion of the old order. They never dreamed It would be a Europe of set tled peace.. “Now all the peoples of Europe are buoyed up In the hope that all the na tions of the world shall unite their moral and physical forces that right shall prevail. If America should fall the world of Its hope, the nations will be set up as hostile camps again, and the men at the peace conference will go home with their heads upon their breasts because they will have failed. We would leave on the peace table nothing but a modern scrap of paper.** Men, he declared, who would have America fall the world in Its hopes saw only beyond the nearest horizon. “They do not know the sentiment of America.” he said. Speaking of hopes of the people of Europe for a lasting peace which he said were pinned to the United States as the “friend of mankind.” the Pres ident said he had no more doubt of “the verdict of America In this matter than I have Qf the doubt of the blood that is in me.” “The nations of the world have set their heads now to dp a great thing And they are not going to atop short of their purpose.” he said. “I do not speak of the governments, but of the peoples who will see that If their present governments do not do their will some others will. And the secret Is out and the present govern ment knows it. “I have come back for an attempt to transact business for a little while In America, but I say In all soberness that I have been trying to apeak your thoughts. Probing deep in my heart and trying to see the things that are right rather than the things that are expedient, I am finding the heart of America. “I find that In loving America I have Joined the majority of my fellow men throughout the world.*' U. 8.

Paris. —The eighth week of the peace conference opgns with increased effort by the working commissions to get their projects ready for consid eration when President Wilson, Pre mier Lloyd George and Premier Or lando return to Paris. No one is more anxious for prompt action than the French commissioners, who want to hasten not only the completion of the peace treaty, but the adoption of the League of Nations plan as un integral part of It. An opening for a revision of the plan that will not threaten the Integrity of the league appears to be broadening. M. Piclion, French for eign minister, has indicated that lie will offer amendments relating to an international force. It is thought thut the conference may consider other amendments such ns may be regarded In America ns necessary to remove the ambiguity of clauses that might Affect the Monroe doctrine, the rlfcht of secession from the league and the methods of using force nguinst recalcitrant nations. French apprehension is growing over the danger of anarchy In Ger many. The French delegates, there fore, desire to hasten the conclusion of the peace treaty and incorporate in it measures for the protection which they have expected from the League of Nations. M.
