President, in Address at Paris
City Hall Ceremonies, Tells
French Officials How Huns
Shocked World. ,
CALLS AMBITIONS OF
ENEMYjLLICIT PLAN
Declares Nation Took Allied
- Side Because of Love of
Right and Out of Sympathy
Over Atrocities
PARIS, Dec 16. President Wilson
delivered an addiess today at the city
hall, where ceremonies had been ar
ranged. The president replied to the
greeting extended him.
"Your greeting has raised many emo
tions within me." the president began.
"It is with no ordinary sympathy that
the people of the United Statey. for
whom I have the privilege of speaking,
have viewed tho sufferings of the people
of France. Many of our own people
have been themselves witnesses of those
sufferings. We were more deeply
moved by the wrongs of t he war be
cause wo knew the manner in which
thsy were perpetrated.
"1 beg that you will not suppose that
because a wide ocean separated us in
space wo were not in effect eyewit
nesses to the shameful ruin that was
wrought and tho cruel and unnecessary
suffering! that were brought upon you.
These sufferings have filled our hearts
with Indignation. We know1 what they
were, not only, hut we know what they
signified, and our hearts were touched
to the ijuick by them, our Imaginations
filled witli the Whole picture of what

j Illicit Schemes.
"When' the Fnlted States entered 111"
war. therefore, they entered It not only
because they were moved by a convic
tion that the purposes of the central
empires were wrong and must be re
slsfed by men everywhere who loved
liberty and the right, but also because
the Illicit ambitions which they were
entertaining and attempting to realize
had led to the practices which shocked
our hearts as much as they offended
our principles.
"Our resolution was formed because
we knew how profoundly great princi
ples of right were affected, hut our
hearts moved also with our resolution.
"You have been exceedingly geneious
in what you have been gracious enough
to say about me, generous far beyond
my personal deserts. bt you have In
terpreted with real Insight the motives
ana resolution of the people of the
United States. Whatever influence 1

have desired, and when t have spoken
what I know was In their minds ft has
been delightful to see how the coo
sciences and purposes of free men ev
erywhere responded. We have merely
established our right to the full fellow
ship of these peoples here and through
out the world who reverence the right
of genuine liberty and justice.
Feels at Home.
"You have made me feel very much
at home here, rrfit merely by the de
lightful warmth of your welcome, but
also by tho manner In which you have
made me realize to tho utmost the Inti
mate community of thought and ideal
which characterizes your people and the
great nation which 1 have the honor for
the time to represent. Your welcome
to Paris I shall always remember as one
of Hie unique and Inspiring experiences
nf my life, and while I feel that you are
honoring tho people of the United
States in my person, T shall neverthe
less carry away with me a very keen
personal gratification in looking back
upon these memornblo days.
"Permit me to thank you from a full
heart."
In addressing President Wilson at the
ciry hall ceremonies. Adrien Mlthouard.
president of the municipal council of
Paris said:
Speaks for Council.
"I have the honor In the presence of
the president of the republic, to present
to you the municipal council of Paris,
whose interpreter 1 am, in welcoming
the chief of the great nation whose aid,
arriving so opportunely, brought us vic
tory, ami1 the upright man whoso con
science fashioned his policy and whoso
diplomacy was made of loyalty."
Turning to Mrs. Wilson. Id. Mlth-,
ouard said:
"Madame: Paris is infinitely happy
and is touched, that you, who have ac
companied tile president, have been
i good enough lo add to the occasion the
charm and grace or your presence, we
have long heefi awnre of your devotion
and of the wise and beneficent activity
you have shown by the side of your
illustrious husband. Yet nothing touches
so much the heart of the people of
Paris as to he permitted to know those
who have nlready cmrjuered by their
goodness. Thus Paris, by my voice,
acclaims you and lays at your feet,
Madame, the homage of Its gratitude
and its respect."
Finally, speaking again to Preildent
Wilson, M. Mlthouard said:
Called European.
"Mr. President, It Is with deep emo
tion lhat the capital welcomes today the
first president of the United States
who has crossed the ocean and our
city hall, the cradle of French liberty,
will mark in its annals the day on
which it was permitted to receive the
eminent statesman of the union, ihe
citizen of the world -dare we say the
great European? whose voice, heard
before the coming of victory, called to
life the oppressed among the nations.
"During weary months our soldiers
have fought with stoic resolution In
defense of the soil of their forbears,
and the land of their children. So vast
was the field of battle, so great was
the issue at stake, so hitter and so
hard was the struggle that only after
the passage of time did it seem pos
sible that the grandeur of their ac
complishment could clearly show forth.
Yet your distance from the theater of
war has Allowed you lo see, while yet
they lived. Ihe greatness of the monu
ment they were building.
"From the other side of the world
you have spoken in advance of the
judgment of history. What a source
of strength was It for these fighters
suddenly to hear your voice, in its
distant authority resembling the voice
nf posterity, what joy lo welcome
those new brothers-in-arms hastening
with ardor to claim at the critical hour
their place upon tho field of battle;
what comfort for them to feel that they
were henceforth arrayed with the glor
ious army of tJen. Tershing, the victor
of the Argonne."

'People are always asking me wfcat
to do with the ex kaiser. I think It
would t'c a mistake to execute him. The
moHt fitting punishment that he could
be given, in my opinion, and the most
enduring torture (o which the ex-iimn-arch
could he subjected, would be to
make 'ilni a royal vagal' md, kick him
from doorstep to dOorstCp of European

After discussing what should he done
