LONDON TIMES CABLE TO
BREST, FRANCE, Dec. 13.—This
afternoon for the first time in hnis
tory a President of the United States
ianded on Furopean soil. Never was
a guest more welcome than Mr. Wil
sor. in France. It would be easy to
expatiate at length on the different
reasons which assure him a whole
hearted greeting from every section
of French opinion, but there is one
cause of cordiality common to all
¢lasses—it is gratitude for the
achievements of America #the war
and the hopes which France derives
from Mr. Wilson's activities for fu
ture peace.
There are people in this country
who seem to imagine he brings in his
pocket some sort of cure, a kind of
patent medicine, which will rid the
world forever from its old malady of
war. They are not many, but the
‘whole country has derived a benefit
‘alre‘ady from the loftiness of Mr.
Wilson's thought and wishes him well
in his efforts with the statesmen of
the Allies to translate the common
iceal of peace into lasting practice.
President Wilson lands with the
complete good will of all Frenchmen
freely given him. They do not look
to him as an arbiter, but as one who,
having been glorious by association
with the Allies in the war, has the
right to co-operate with them in
peace,
There are, nevertheless, certain dif
ficulties and cross currents in his
.ourse down the river of peace. One
of them is due to the imminence of
the French general elections and an
ill-concealed desire of certain politi
aal sections to “‘coliar” the President
German Press Continues to
Appeal to Wilson for Aid
LONDON, Dec. 13.—~The German
press daily contimues its appeals to
president Wilson. Particularly char
acteristic 1s the leading article in The
prrankfurter Zeitung on December 5,
/which begins by saying that it is a
jong time until spring, when Presi-
Aent Wilson hopes for the conclusion
of peace and adds:
“Mr. Wilson will be able to attend
only a small part of the decisive ne
gotiations. This would be regrettable,
for, Whatever we may think about him
otherwise, the American President is
for us Germans a guarantor for a
fair peace."
Then follows the usual passage
) about the horrible brutality of the
Allfes—from whom America is always
dissoclated in the German press. After
painting Germany's condition as help
less, The Frankfurter Zeitung says
Mr., Wilson “was never Germany’s
friends,” but adds: “We Germans can
set more hope upon Mr, Wilsons' in
terpretation of the foundations of

LONDON TIMES CABLE TO
BRUSSELS, Dec. 13—The site of
Kdith Cavell's grave in Tir Nationai
seems now established with uum-“

me there by the Belgian authormu.l
The first occasion was taken lhla}
afternoon by the British community
to conduct a commemoration service
at the grave. It was attended by thej
British Minister, who laid a wreath
from King George and Queen Mary
inseribed in the memory “of a brave,
gplendid Englishwoman” Sir F. H.
Villlers deposited a wreath bound
with British colors from the British
legation. ‘
The American Minister, Brand

tribute of his own. There was &

Today the unanimity of France was
well shown by the manifestos of wel

Ligue des Patriotes and the Radical
Socialist party, also the presence on
the landing stage of Socialists, such
as Longuet, Roffins and.Dugens and
syndicalists, such as Jouhaux.
The fine seaport of Brest is an ad
mirable stage for such a historic
landirg. Its hills and ramparts give
a fine view and the crowded docks a
wide roadstead. i.ong before noon
the people gathered at commanding
points, gazing seaward, each trying to
catch out of the lifting mist the first

It was under a gray Breton sky,
but without ‘Breton rain, that the
crowds assembled on the short road
from the port to the railway -station.

in effect, is to go down in history as
the great benefactor of mankind who
gave the world everlasting peace. May
one not hope he will appreciate the
fact that lasting peace can never be

With conspicuous tact, the newspa
per compares Germany with the re
public of Colombia, and invites the
United States to draw a serious les
son from ‘the mistrust felt every
where in South and Central Amer

north.”
The paper says Americans are men
of business, adding: “Ought they not
be sober enough to say to themselves,
it can never pay to enslave a great
people, the strength of whose vitality
is universally recognized? Should
they not also say that if Germany is
ensalved the debtor will never pro
duce the tribute that may be imposed
