WILSON AT MANCHESTER ?
GIVEN GREAT WELCOME
*
President Spends One of Busiest Days
of His Career in English City..
*'
N
Manchester, Dec, 30 (By the Associated
Press).?The people of Man- ]
Chester made President Wilson a free
man of their city today. They did!
more than that; they made him atj
home. It seemed as though all the,
men, women and children of the town,!
and many from Lancashire at large, J
cheered the president at some stage
of the crowded five hours in which he'
i
made a sort of democratic royal pro-j
gram from one point of interest to an- j
other, which was strenuous enough j
and vast enough to exhaust even the;
hardest political campaigner.
The general atmosphere of all the;
proceedings was intimate and friend-i
ly; often the people got near enough j
to shake hands. Even the ceremony
of conferring the freedom of the cityj
had a tone of homely simplicity, and
seemed more like a college commence-;
ment than a formally staged ritual.
The assembly sang "For He's a Jolly
Good Fellow," which could hardly
have occurred at a state banquet or in <
the Guildhall. j
It was a happy inspiration that led
the aldermen to throw open the larg-.
est hall in the city, instead of follow-1
ing custom by holding the ceremony!
in the municipal chamber. This by no!
means reduced the effect of the im- j
portant speech the president delir-j
ered.
His most important pronouncement!
perhaps to Englishmen, the most im- j
portant he has made in England, that !
the United States would make no!
covenant with any powers except one
with all the powers, was not lost upon
his hearers. No other audience during
his European appearance has absorbed
the president's utterances so
eagerly, so. understanding^, and has!
so quickly responded to every important
point. No other audience ha3 resembled
so noticeably the character
and types of people of whom the presii
dent has beeq accustomed to speak at J
&ome.
Perhaps this was because Lancas-j
lire has contributed so many citizens;
to the United States and has such |
close industrial connections and fol-(
lows American affairs with keener in-'
terest than most English counties.!
The first item in the day's program,
was a drive to the famous docks which1
have made Manchester an inland port, j
Here the shipping extended a beflag-'
ged and yociferous greeting to the
president, while the workmen from all j
the big warehouses and factories1
around hung from the windows and:
stood on the roofs. Part of the drive!
was through the poorer districts,!
where a few of the children were too ;
poolr even to have bought American'
flags to wave.
Later the president made a brief
appearance in the balcony in the Royal
Exchange, where he spoke. Finally
he-took. lunch with 200 prominent
men in the Midland Hotel, where he
made an acknowledgment of Manchester's
hospitality.
The weather was unfriendly today.
It -was gray and thick, witli intervals
af rain, but that is typical of the seasons
in the midlands, and it kept
nobody indoors. Merchants, workmen,
farmers, soldiers, with countless thousans
of women and children stood in
the streets and rushed from point to
point for a glimpse of the president
from another angle.
Shaking hands with the lord mayor
and the chief constable on parting,
the president said:
"Gentlemen, I congratulate you
both. In all my travels I have not J
known arrangements to go on\ so1
smoothly. You have given me a happy
time. My only regret is that it
was not longer."
The last Manchester saw of the
president he stood on the platform of
the royal train, hat in hand, with his
military aide holding the dark blue
presidential flag which had been presented
by the people of France. The
band played "The Star Spangled Banner."
the red robed lord mayor and
the blue and silver bedecked chief
constable were in the foreground with
an American guard of honor in the
background and there came a final
tribute of cheers, stirring the flags
which hung from the arches of the
station.
The president was the recipient of
ovations for many miles along the
railway from Manchester. The people
had gathered along the line and cheered
vigorously as the train passed.
In a telegram regretting his inability
to visit Southampton and receive
the freedom of the city, the president
expressed his cordial thanks for
the honor and said: "It would have
been a great pleasure but it is ab-i
solutely necessary for me to return
to ?France on Thursday."
The luncheon bv the municinalitv
of Manchester today to President Wilson
was held in the ball room of the
Midland Hotel. The room was decorated
simply with palms standing
against the white and gold walls. The j
tables were arranged in the form of a
gridiron. The president sat in the j
center of a long table on the right of
the lord mayor. American and Brit- <
ish flags were draped on the walls be- |
hind them.
On the right of the president were
the wife of the lord mayor, Lord 1
Herschell, American Ambassador Davis,
Sir Charles Cust, Mrs. Davis, Vice
Admiral Sims, Major General Biddle,
Rear Admiral Grayson, Miss Benham ^
and Brigadier General Harts. Mrs.
Wilson sat at the left of the lord mayor
and beyond her were Lord Shuttleworth,
the city recorder, Miss Rachel
Shuttleworth, American Consul Holla- i
day, General Snow, the bishop of Manchester,
Lord Sheffield, the i&shop ofr
Salforth and Lord Colwyn.
The guests numbered 200. Prayer
was offered by the bishop :&t Manchester.
The arrangements for the luncheon
were simple. The service was by
waitresses dressed in plain black with
white aprons. After coffee was served
the lord mayor's announcer, standing
with a wanri hphin/J thp mnvnr's
called for silence. The mayor then
offered a toast to the king and cane to
the president. The toasts having <been 1
drunk, the lord mayor announced: j
"Gentlemen, you may smoke."
In proposing "to the president of 1
the United States," the lord mayor i
gave a short eulogistic speech and ex- *
pressed appreciation of the compli- J
ment which the president had paid 1
Manchester by bringing Mrs. Wilson
with him. This caused a round of i ^
cheers.
The president said he thanked Man- <
Chester for the hospitality shown him.! j
He referred to Mrs, Wilson as his :
partner. At the conclusion of the I <
president's speech the official party!
left the hotel to board the train for; 1
London. \

WILSON AND CLEMENCEAU '
ARE NOT IN ACCORD .
j 1
President and Premier Far Apart on
. Question of Balance of Power. j
Problem to Settle. i
i
!
Paris, Dec.. 31.?The declaration
made by President Wilson in his
speech at Manchester Monday against;
balance of power among the nations
is regarded in high American quarters
here as a direct rejoinder to the;
speech of Premier Clemenceau in the!
chamber of deputies in which he de-|
clared his support of the "balance of
power" idea and his purpose to make!
it his guiding thought in the peace!
negotiations. ' I
Whether it was intended to be so,'
i
is not known, but the president's j
speech, coming within 24 hours after J
that of the premier has led to a con-;
trast between the two declarations as j
sharply defining two opposing view-!
points on the subject of the balance of
power among the nations.
The textual codv of the nremier's 1
speech on Sunday night is now available
and gives the following reference
on this subject: '
"There is an old system which appears
condemned today and to which j
I do not fear to say that I remain;
faithful at this moment. Countries!
have organized the defense of their i
frontiers with the necessary elements! I
and the balance of power." j
Great disorder broke out in the;
chamber at this point and Pierre
Prizon, a Socialist deputy, exclaimed:
"This is the system which has gone
into bankruptcy."
Premier Clemenceau continued, saying:
"This system appears to be con- ]
demned by some very high authori- ,
ties. Nevertheless, I will remark that j
if such a balance had preceded the <
war?that if America, England,
France and Italy had got together in j
declaring that whoever attacked one
of them must expect to see the three
others take up the common defense?" 1
The premier was interrupted here
by applause and disorder in the cham
ber, but later resumed:
"There is in this system of alliances
wrich I do not renounce, say <
it most distinctly, my guiding thought
at the conference, if your body permit's
me to go there, and I believe that
nothing should separate after the war
the four great nations, that the war
has united. To this entente I will
make all sacrifices."
The statement of the French premier
is looked upon as foreign to the
statement made a few hours later at
Manchester by President Wilson when
the president said:
"If the future had nothing for us
but a new attempt to keep the world
at a right poise by a balance of power
the United States would take no interest,
because she would join no
combination of power which is not a
combination of all of us." I
The French papers have refrained
from discussing the difference of the
viewpoints, resulting from M. Clemenceau's
speech, except the Socialist organ
Humanite which says:
" A o + A niamanoaan V?o ronn/liatoc
XXO tv JUU VU VWM U AAV AVj^/UVftAMivvw
with tranquility the Wilsonian con- j
ceptions. Tomorrow it will be neces- <
sary to arm again, to construct fort- 4
resses and cannon and forge alii- ]
ances against third powers. To the i
society of nations there is not even a !
discreet bow." ,

'Em About It" in Reams
and Reams.
Paris.?The letter-writing craze has
struck the American army.
Just as soon as he gets out of the
Tenches the doughboy washes up,
jcurries around for pen and paper and
sits down to tell 'em all about it And
le tells 'em in reams and reams.
"Well, let's see," he says, as he
meditatively kicks his sieei ueimei
ander his cot "I've got to write ?to ma
ind pa, Kittie and Johnny Boggs over
it Canton, O. Then, I owe Nell Johnson
a letter. And I've got to scribble
i few lines to Uncle Abe and Aunt
Minnie. After that I'll answer those
letters of Bill and Tom."
Writing materials?paper and envelopes?are
not always plentiful
svhere the doughboy is stationed, and
Cor a while it was doubtful whether
the last of his correspondence list
svould receive their letters, for the
3upply in the small town stores was
soon exhausted. But the Y. M. C. A.,
learning of this scarcity, soon ar
ranged to snpply all contingents. It
sent out seven million sheets of writing
paper and some 3,500,000 envelopes
i month.
With the tremendous growth of the
expeditionary force, orders have been
Increased and the estimate for next
pear is 120,000,000 sheets of paper and
50,000,000 envelopes.
This means that the Yanks will nse
about 720 tons of writing materials?
720 tons of news and comfort for the
folks at home.
And when the censor officers stop to
consider it they grow weak, for it is
their duty, along with everything else,
to censor the letters and see to it that
the soldier uses discretion and doesn't
mention things of military importance.

gypsy, has been crawling about Reading
barracks in a doubled up condition
on two sticks.
Twelve doctors have examined him
and declared him fit and specialists
have subjected him to electric shocks
of varying degrees. These he withstood
unflinchingly; and the specialists
have indorsed the doctors' opinion.
Green, however, has refused tc
hold himself erect and was drafted
to Ireland. He continued in his
doubled-up condition and so rode
while his comrades walked to the sta-;

Syracuse, N. Y.?Fraternal life at
Syracuse university will cease for the
duration of the war. Frathouses and

their studies to give attention to "rushing,"

SCORE BURLESON. ,
Postmaster General Again Under Fire.!
Hitchcock in Game.
Washington, Dec. 30?Criticism of
Postmaster General Burleson for tak->
ins over the marine cables after the !
'signing of the armistice was renewed!
j today in the senate. Senator Hitch|
cock -of Nebraska, chairman of the foreign
relations committee, precipitated
the discussion after presenting a letter
from Postmaster General Burleson i
: in which the postmaster general de-;
iiied he had exceeded his authority I
and asserted that the order taking j
over the cables had been signed by
the president November 2.
Senator Hitchcock said the postmas'ter
general had come very close to
j breaking the faith of congress and he
wn<a r?nf -fnstifiprt in talrintr nvor the
| cables after hostilities ceased. He also,
accused Mr. Burleson of suppressing;
:the order for sometime. j
j Senator Watson. Republican from |
Indiana, charged that the date of the |
order originally had been fixed at i
November 14 but because of the sign-j
ing of the armistice sooner than had j
expected was changed to November 2. |
i wnen tne oraer was maae saia sena- j
tor Watson, "the date was first put;
down as November 14, the armistice
1 having been signed on the 11th of that
' month. Afterwards the date was j
erased and November 2 was inserted.
I have every reason to believe that
that fact is susceptible of proof. The
object of it is apparent without comment."
j Senator Kellogg of Minnesota, Republican,
said he had been informed
the order was signed by the president
i on November 2 but it was not countersigned
by the secretary of state and
it was never published or exhibited to
anyone until after the war had closed
and the armistice had been signed."
"Even the date when it was exhibited
one of the telegraph companies was
blank and the order was never made
before the signing of the armistice,"
Senator Kellogg declareu.

"My fine appetite certainly pleases
my wife, for she is a good cook and
likes to see me enjoy my meals," said
H. M. Rogers of 105 Budd St., Elmirs.
X. Y., in: a story for men. and wo
men, too, who have a finicky appetite
and can not eat the fine, nourishing
meals that are set before him.
"For a while," Mr. Rogers explained.
"I couldn't eat any solid food. I
was continually bothered with ga3
and bloating that made me feel as if
i
1 WCIC SulF:t> LiJ UlC<lLii
would come short and I would have
a stuffed up, suffocating feeling. Ii*
seemed to affect my heart My stomach
^'as so sore I could hardly touch
it. I kept doctoring and trying remedies,
but got worse instead of better.
While I was suffering so I kept hearing
of a new medicine, Tanlac, and
commenced to take it. I didn't get
any relief from the first bottle, and I
said to myself, 'stung again', but peonle
toM mft to cive it * fair trial, and i
so I kept on. In a little while I he- j
gan to improve. After my fourth, bottle
I felt fine. The old appetite came
back; I did not have any more gas or
bloating or suffocating spells, and my
stomach and whole system were toned
right up.
"That is all true," declared Mrs.
Rogers. "Tanlac worked wonders for
him, and we are glad to tell our experience
to everyone. It is no use to
doubt this Tanlac; it does the work."
Tanlac is the master medicine for
ailments of stomach, liver and kidneys
and catarrhal affections, which go
often makes good after other medicines
have failed.
