PRESIDENT IN
MANCHESTER
YESTERDAY
DELIVERS TWO ADDRESSES, 01IE
IN FREE TRADE HALL AND
VISITS INDUSTRIES.
GOES TO PARIS AGAIN TODAY
Will Proceed to Rome Next Wednes-
day Night, Spending Week
In Italy. I
London, Dec. 30. President Wil
son arrived in London at 7:15 p. m.
and immediately went to Bucking
ham palace. He was cheered by
large numbers of persons who were
proceeding homeward from busi
ness. Otherwise there was no dem
onstration, as the time of the ar
rival of the president's train was
not known to the public.
Tresident Wilson will go direct to
Italy from Paris. He will leave
Paris for Rome Wednesday night,
arriving in the Italian capital Fri
day. Rome is to be the only city in
Italy the president will visit. He
expects to be away from Paris a
week, returning there a week from
next Tuesday.
While in Rome the president will
be the guest cf the Italian govern
ment. It seems certain now that
he will visit Pope Benedict and al
f.o call at the Methodist college.
By the time the president returns s
to Paris from Italy the British dele
gates to the peace conferences will
have arrived, it is expected. The
preliminary conferences may then
be in sight and the preliminary
organization work of the American
peace mission will have been com
pleted. Paris, Dec-. 30. From present in
dications President Wilson will
leave Europe on his return to the
United States on February 10.
Manchester, Dec. 3S. President
Wilson, who arrived here last even
ing, found in this city a different at
mosphere from that of London.
There his time was absorbed and
neeet-sarily by formalities and offi
cial functions. Here there have
.been formal events, but with a more
democratic air. Here he found a
hospitality which could not be
warmer than that of London, but
We wish one and all
H F)appy
Philip cTdaicii
We close all da
which brought him closer to the
people.
The lord mayor is a self-made
man. His home, where Mr. and
Mrs. Wilson were guests, is in a
section of the city hall, where the
mayors live during their terms of
office. The rest of the president's
party was quartered at a nearby
hotel.
Mr. and Mrs. Wilson sat down at
an early family dinner last evening
and soon afterwards retired to their
apartments on the fourth floor
wlere they could rest, with nothing
more disturbing than the gongs of
the passing tram cars. The presi
dent's days in England have involv
ed great physical strain, which was
"apparent to thoso near him last
evening.
Speech at Free Trade Hall.
The most important feature of
today was the presentation of the
freedom of the city to Mr. Wilson,
with an address by the president.
What Manchester expected in the
we y of a fpeeeji is -shown by the
fact that thirty-five minutes were
allotted to it. It was at first plan
ned to hold the ceremony in the
Municipal chamber, which is the
customary theater for civic events,
but in response to public opinion
the old Free Trade hall, which ac
comodates nearly 4.000 persons, was
selected.
Everyone wished to hear the
chief executive of the United Sates
and the pressure for invitations
from officials of nearby cities, as
well as from the people of Man
chester, was insistent. If Free
Trade hajl had been tlfree times as
large it could not have sheltered all
who were anxious to secure admis
sion. The most notable engineering
works in Manchester are the shin
canal and docks. The first activity
of the day was an inspection of
these and the party proceeded from
the city hill in autos. There were
eight cars in the procession. Mr.
Wilson wns received by Captain
Bacon, chairman of the directors of
the ship canal and r-pent an hour on
board a small steamer which miss
ed among the docks. After his re
turn to the city hall. Ross E. Holi
day. American consul, presented
Americana residing in the city.
Luncheon at Hotel.
From there it was a short drive to
the Free Trade Hall. After the
ceremonies there, the official party
drove by a circuitous route to the
Midland hotel where, at 1 o'clock,
the president was entertained at
luncheon by the city officials and
many of the representative citterns.
Mr. Wilson's arrival at the royal
exchange was an incident which
will be treasured in the hirtory of
that institution. The president ap
peared in the disttngiiished strang
ers' gallery while the fleer was fill
ed with members, and made them a
very brief, informal speech.
The only escort for the president's
drives about the city was a so.uad
of mounted police. Mr. and Mrs.
Wilson and their party took tho
train for London shortly before ?.
o'clock, closing a day whirh will De
regarded as one of the most import
ant in the history of this city.
In presenting the free Jem of the
city to President Wilson, the lord
mayor said it afforded the city of
Manchester supreme sati?faction to
have on its roll, the chief citizen cf
the American republic, "foremost of
all Americans who have ever visited
England and one whose clear utter
ances ar.d earnest acts had been a
proof of the real union of sentiment.
The bonds between England and
America, have been rivited with
great strength and made indestruct
ible." Wanted Experienced bookkeep
ers. Returned army men preferred.

CIBOCEAU
IS GIVEN VOTE
OF CONFIDENG
SAYS BALANCE OF POWER IDEA
WILL GUIDE IN FORMING
LEAGUE OF NATIONS.
FRENCH ADHERE 'TO HIS IDEAS
Paris, Dec. 29. Premier Oemen
ceau was given a vote of confidence,
3S0 to 134, in the chamber of depu
ties today after a stormy debate dur
ing which the war aims of France
were outlined by Stephen Pichon,
foreign minister, and the premier
had indicated that the "old system
of alliance called the 'balance of
power' " would be his guiding
thought at the peace conference.
It was indicated by the premier
that the formation of a league of
nations might he carried out con
cordantly with the drafting of the
treaty of peace. M. itcnauuei. so
cialist, brought about this state
ment by expressing his regret that
the allies decided not to organize
the league until after peace had
been declared.
"Nothing of the sort" was the
answer of M. Clemcnceau. "Wheth
er this chamber gives me a vote of
confidence or not, I am ready to re
sign office," he continued. "If you
have a minute's hesitation, now is
the time to check your pilot."
Replying to charges made by Al
bert Thomas, socialist leader, that
he had kept the chamber without
information Premier C'lenienceau
said:
"The question of f.ezce is a tre
mendous problem. It is a question
which is one of the most difficult
ever submitted to the nation at any
time. In a few days a conference
of delegates will meet at Paris
which settle the fate cf nations in
all parts of the world.
"People say: 'Premier Lloyd
George has spoken. President Wil
son has spoken, hut you have said
nothing.' I have given explanations
whenever you have asked me. But
it is not because Mr. Lloyd George
has spoken cr because Mr. Wilson
has arrived from America with el3
vated thoughts that I am obliged to
explain myself and keep running to
the speaker's rostrum.
"France was in an especially diffi
cult situation. It was the country
nearest Germany. America was far
away and took her time to come in
iO the war. England came at once
at the call of Mr. Asquith. We
suffered and fought; our men were
mowed down and our towns and
villages were destroyed.
"There is an old system of alli
ances called the 'balance of power.'
It seems to be condemned nowa
days, but if such a balance had pre
coded the war. if England. the
United States. France and Italy had
agreed, saying that whoever attack
ed one of them attacked the whole
world, the war would not have oc
curred. This system of alliances,
which I do not renounce, will be my
guiding thought at the peace con
ference if your confidence sends me
there.
"I have been reproached with de
ceiving President Wilson. I do not
understand why. I have made it a
rule not to question him, but to let
him develop his views. That is what
he did. President Wilson, to whom
certain persons in the interest of
their parties attribute intentinos
which perhaps are not his, opened
his mind and has inspired respect
through simple speech and the no
bility of it.
President Wilson said to me: 'I
will try and convince you, but per
haps you will convince me.' "
"Indecent" Interruptions.
Premier Clemenceau explained
the peace situation as it concerned
France, Great Britain and the Unit
ed States and his explanations ap
peared fully to satisfy all-, except
the unified socialists who repeated
ly interrupted hira in a manner
which President Deschanel charact
erized as 'indecent."
Premier Clemenceau said that his
conversations with President Wilson
had been profitable, although he
added, "I should not be telling the
truth if I said I had always been
in agreement with him on all
points."
In summing up his argument for
full confidence and the exercise of
patience by the chamber, the pre
mier declared:
Some Claims To Be Given Up.
"There will be claims to btr set
forth and others which will have
to be given up. If I mounted the
rostrum to elaborate the subject, I
would be the worst premier in
Europe. That does not mean we
are not working hard to prepare a
lino of action for the peace con
gress." The premier indicated that he
was not opposed to a league of na
tions. It is understood that the text of
the premier's speech will be tele
graphed to President Wilson.
The chamber completed consider
ation of the budget this morning
and adopted it by an overwhelming
majority. The deputies will meet
again at 9 o'clock Tuesday morning
to discuss the revision of the elec
toral lists preparatory to a general
election.
"You know that reservations
have been made on the question of
freedom of the seas. Premier Lloyd
George said to- me one day: "You
wlil admit that without the British
fleet you could not have continued
the war." I answered in the affir
mative. The British premier then
asked me if I was disposed to do
anything in opposition to British
ideas on the freedom of the seas. I
answered in the negative. Concern
ing this question. President Wilson
said to me:
WELL VISIT FRIENDS IN OMAHA.

t
; JjiEMOBOLIZATION
PROCEEDING.
From Tuesday's Daily.
All over the country the work of
demobolizing the American army is
proceeding rapidly. Men in the can
tonments in this country are being
let out to make room for those re
turning from overseas, who are in
turn to be given discharges as rap
idly as is possible. Considering the
length of time it took to organize
our vast fighting force, we must be
patient if the work of demoboliza
tion seems to be proceeding a bit
slow. Uncle Sam, ever awake to the
responsibilities facing the nation, de
creed that every discharged soldier
must be given a rigid physical ex
amination before being discharged,
and if not found in as good or better
physical condition than at the time
of his enlistment, must be held in
the service for treatment and obser
vation until such time as he could
be returned to civil life the equal in
every way of what he had been be
fore entering the service. All this,
together with the work of properly
closing the individual records of each
individual soldier, computing the
amount of pay due him, including
travel pay at the rate of 3 cents a
mile from the place of discharge to
the place of enlistment takes time
and there is not a camp in the coun
try in which the personnel force
has not been working day and night
in order to expedite the work of re
leasing the men and enabling them
t obe mustered out in time to reach
home for Christmas. The personnel
and headquarters forces themselves
the last to be mustered out, have
been working long hours, without a
murmur of discontent, and it is in
such service as this, as well as in
daring deeds of valor on the battle
field that we see reflected the true
American spirit.
