. WILSON SHIP ON RETU. 9 Brest, Feb. 15.?President Wilson left Brest on his return to the Uni* ted States on board the U. S. S. George Washington shortly after 11 o'clock this morning. The George Washington weighed anchor at -v 11:15 o'clock. ^ In a farewell message to the French people before leaving Brest today, President Wilson said he had been received and treated as a friend, as he had most desired to be treated. He added that he was happy to return to France to assist in completing the just settlement of the peace conference. i < The president arrived in Brest from Paris at 10:30 o'clock and went direct to the dock, where he embarked on a French gunboat, which took him and his party to the George Washington. * The president was received at the Brest arsenal , by Admiral Moreau of the French navy; General Helmick, the military commander at Brest; Charles L. Schwab and civil authori, ties. There was no ceremony except handshaking and a salute of 21 guns which thundered forth as soon as the embarked on the gunboat. From the railroad siding to the dock were drawn up a battalion of / American soldiers and a French marine band played the Star Spangled Banner as the gunboat left its moorings. The ships in the harbor displayed the American flag and all traf> fic was suspended while the pre$?- j dent's party was transferred to the George Washington. French Guard of Honor. l;- ' French national escort consisting; of the cruiser Conde and several tor- j pedo boats acted as a guard of honor for the George Washington. This escort with the American battleship > New Mexico will accompany the president out to sea and then return. The . " New Mexico has as companions four y;. ===== ORDER AS TO UNIFORMS. . General Peyton C. March, Chief of >' Staff, Explains Roles. v V .. The following order from Gen. Peyton C. March, chief of staff, Washington, D. C., relative to officers and enlisted men wearing their , uniforms after having been dischargt ' ed from the service, has just been jaade public: 1- "Present law authorizes a dis, charged officer or soldier to wear his fr uniform from the place of discharge to his home, within three months of jjv the date of his discharge from the [f. service.

George Leygues, the French miinster of marine, and Andre Tardieu, French high commissioner to the United States, accompanied the president on board the George Washington to bid him good-bye. Franklin D. Roosevelt, American assistant secretary of the navy, arrived in Brest shortly before the president boarded the George Wash ington and was taken aboard the liner on special naval craft. The weather was misty and cloudy and with a moderate temperature. President All Smiles. When the president alighted from the train he was smiling, and he continued to wave his hat and smile as the gunboat headed toward the George Washington. The president was accompanied on board the gunboat by Ambassador and Madame Jusserand and by Representatives Helvering, White and Norton, who have oeen in rrance ior several months. David R. Francis, the American ambassador to Russia, and his son and daughter also were members of the party. The president spent just 15 minutes at the quay. He passed along the line of those assembled to greet him and shpok hands with each one. Reaching the end of the line he beckoned to Mrs. Wilson to come. He reascended the stairs to the deck of the gunboat and then assisted Mrs. Wilson to descend. On the arrival of the presidential party on board the George Washington there was little formality except for handshaking with M. Leygues and Mr. Tardieu, the orders being for the George Washington to get under way as soon as the party and its baggage had been received. The sea was calm as the gunboat made its way to the George Washington. Are Germans to Blame for This? * Paris, Feb. 6.?Twp railway coaches recently hancled over to France by Germany, played a most important part in a puzzling acci dent on the Paris-Metz railway last night in which five persons lost their lives, sixteen persons were injured. Train No. 47 bound for Metz had just entered the tunnel at Manteuil when the passenger occupying the two coaches handed over by Germany began to experience trouble in breathing and strong obnoxious gases began to fill the coaches. The pasengers smashed the windows, but as soon as fresh air came in contact with the gases the coaches became a mass of fire. The passengers in terror, fled to the tracks in the dark tunnel. A train going in" the opposite direction crashed into them and five were killed. Of the sixteen injured, eight suffered only from the effects of asphyxiating gas. An official statement given out by the railroad company says: "The fire in the coaches was not due to any defect in the lighting or heating apparatus nor to a hot box. The presence of the obnoxious gases is still unexplained. Both coaches were consumed by the flames." Self-determination isn't mentioned in high political places so much as it was a short time ago, is it? Wonder if there's a reason? New stock Waterman Pens just received.
