Bftss, one of the American envoys to
the peace conference; Colonel E. M.
House, special diplomatic representa -
tive of the United States; William
G. Sharp, American Ambassador to
France; Aamiral Benson, U. 8. N ;
members of the foreign committee of
the Chamber of Deputies, many So
cialist Deputies and others.
The honor of greeting President
Wilson in the name of the city of
Brest fell to M. Goude, the Mayor,
who prepared an address of welcome.
Official Delegation.
The official delegation which went
out to meet the George Washington,
inolading M. Pichon, M. Leygues, Am
bassador Sharp, General Pershing,
Colnel House and others, were on
hoard a French tender. As they
steamed outward into the hnarbor the
huge bulk of the battleship Pennsyl
vania, which had preceded the George
Washington all the way across the
Atlantic from New York, could be
seen far in the distance, together with
her twin flagship, the Wyoming. They
were followed by a double column of
the Amertcan warcraft, an Italian
battleship and nine French cruisers
as well as American and French de
strovers.
During the morning the great flee:
bad changed formation in order to
pass through the narrow strait lead-
Ing to the Brest roadsiead. Both
sides of the narrow channel were
crowded with cheering figures that
waved flags and hats and handker
chiefs.
Early this morning the strcets of
Brest began to seethe with the recep
tion planned for the coming of
France’s disfinguished guest. A spe
clal train from Paris rolled into the
railway station filled with silk-hatted
and frock-coated Ministers, Ambas
sadors and Deputies and generals and
admirals in uniform.
Everybody in Hurry.
The eating places were soon filled
to overflowing with the visitors
snatching what they could in a hurry
so as to get to their appointed places
at the pier.
Every once in a while someone
peering through the mist down the
harbor would cry: “There she comes,”
and a shout would go up from the
multitude.
Thousands of doughboys and French
poilus swung into the city from their
camps and were quickly strung out in
two lines through the railroad yvards
and up the steep slope leading to the
ancient chateau gate fortifications,
the granite walls of which loomed
menacingly above. The soidiers stood
elbow to elbow.
Thousands of school children,

Hundreds of tickets are being sold

which the Marseillaise Club will be

o’'clock.
dressed in their best Sunday bibs and
tuckers, gathered in the streets wav
ing holly and mistletoe. Many of
them had been carried into the city
from far-away villages in great
American army motor trucks. Every
ear was eagerly attuned to catch the
first muffled roar of ti-- ~aiute from
the assembled war craft to the George
Washington.
Strict naval regulations were is
sued and every precaution was taken
to safeguard the President and his
party. Orders were given that no
craft should move in the harbor whire
the George Washington was at ancho)r
except the official tenders carrying
the welcoming officials and members
of President Wilson’s party.
Welcome By Poincare.
No formal speech was planned in
behalf of the Government as it was
deemed fitting that only President
Poincare was worthy to welcome
formally such a distinguished visitor.
That ceremony was reserved for the
capital.
The program of ceremonies on
board the ship was confined to the
briefest and most informal introduc-
’ The members of the club, including
Misses Valeria Manley, Eolise Allen,
Isabel Johnston, Evelyn Dunson, Mar
‘garet Porter, Yolande Gwin, Molly
Harold, Eugenia Buchanan, Helen El
isas. Minnie Caverly, Isabel Breiten
" bucher and Grace Powell, are sup
tions. Tenders were then provided
to take the presidential party ashore.
Following the brief ceremony, it was
planned for the visitors and the of
ficials to leave the pier in motor cars
escorted by an honor guard from the
French marines,
This city for the time laid off the
busy air it has worn since the Amer
jican soldiers began arriving in
France. The great roadstead had
been cleared of ships, and those that
remained at their docks were dressed
out in flags from keel to truck. Every
high point of ground swarmed with
people.
For two days big gangs of German
prisoners of war had been at work
cleaning the soupy mud from the
streets.
Banners Proclaim Wilson.
Great banners were stretched
across the streets, bearing in English
such inscriptions as “Hurrah for
President Wilson, defender of the
rights of the peoples” and “Vive Wil
son, who merits so much from hu
manity.”
Not only Brest, but the whole coun
iryside gave itself over to celebration
of the gala occasion. The streets that
had been hitherto humming with in
dustry and traffic, moving hundreds
of thousands of Americans toward the
front, was thronged with merrymak
ers. Nevertheless, some work still
was going on.
But the stream of American traffic
was reversed today. Instead of troops
going to the front, wounded were he
ing brought from the interior for
transportation home. Most of these
were ‘‘casuals.”
The George Washington is to re
turn to the United States, and she
will take home with her thousands of
wounded doughboys, who will occupy
the places that accommodated the
members of the presidential party on
the eastward vovage.
Fisher Folk Excited.
The excitement over the President’s
arrival was not confined to Brest.
Dawn found the Breton coast lined
with keen-eyed fisher folk .watching
for the first glimpse of a smoke
smudge on the horizon which would
foreshadow the arrival of this new
peace armada, just as they had heen
the first to sight the sails of the war
like Spanish armada as it turned into
the English Channel centuries ago.
These simple and stoical fisher folk
were dressed out in their Sundav
best, and, hardworking as they are,
they “took the day off” to cheer the
coming of the great American. They
wore brightlv colored jackets and the
women’'s heads were covered with
quaint eaps.
Even the humblast peasant realized
the importance of President Wilson's
mission—how mueh it meant for
peace and democracy—and was
thrilled by it, .
Decpite the fact that it is mid-
December the hills were green ard 1t
made a very pleasant background for
the scenery viewad from shipboard.
Enormous crowds of peasants and
f'sher folk had gathered at 'Toul
Brouch, off which point the wareraft
took review formation, the George
Washington leaving her escorts there
and moving out from the protecting
array of destroyers and bhattleghips.
The presidential train, which was
drawn up in the Brest railway stae
tion, is scheduled to depart for Paris
at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, with
President and Mrs, Wilson and their
personal suite cn board,

about s£lo,ooo of its SIOO,OOO quota,
and Harold Hirsch, chairman of the
local executive committee, sald he
hoped the fund would be completed
by nightfall, though he expected later
subscriptions to swell the amount
well beyond the quota.
« Reports from over Georgia to Vic
tor H. Kriegshaber, chairman of the
State organization, enowed that lib
eral contributions were being made
by Jews and Gentiles alike to the
fund for the relief of the six million

all of these were voluntary subscrip

‘ From Athens came the news tha!
the $7,600 quota had been f{ar over
subscribed, and Chairman Max Mich
ael was inquiring, “What's the mat
ter with Atlanta?’ Athens has raised ‘
more than SIO,OOO and is on her way
to $15,000, \
Attention was called ¥Friday lo Lhn‘
fact that subscriptions to the fund
may be paid in installments, ending
rext June. ‘
“The committee 18 r\x(-ondingly}
erateful to the people of Atlanta,” |
said Mr. Hirsch. “Although our ef
forts have been prinecipally confined |
to our own people, our non-Jewish |
friends have come forward voluntari- |
lyv with numerous substantial con |
tributions. We deeply appreciate, not
only the actual gifts, but the spirit of
good feeling which prompted them."

of $300,000 for the fund, including the
