The arrangements for the luncheon 1
at Manchester were simple. The service
was by waitresses dressed in plain
black with white aprons. After coffee ;
was served the Lord Mayor's an
nouncer, standing with a wand behind
the Mayor's chair, called for silence.
The Mayor then offered a toast to the
Kini? and one to the President. The
toasts having been drunk, the Lord
Mayor announced:
"Gentlemen, you may smoke."
In proposing "to the President of the
WLTnited States," the Lord Mayor gave a
short eulogistic speech and expressed
appreciation of the compliment which
the President had paid Manchester by
bringing Mrs. Wilson with him. This
caused a round of cheers.
The President said he thanked Man
chester for the hospitality shown him.
He referred to Mrs. Wilson as his
partner. The President drew a moral
from the fact that the musket and
sword are hung above the fireplace,
but never the yardstick and that the
musket and sword are symbolical of
self-sacrifice.
At the conclusion of the President's
speech, the official party left the
hotel to board the train for London.

renounce the privilege of ever becom- ! ica and Europe," declared President
lng an American citizen. '
The privilege of evading service In
the United States military forces
through this process was extended only
to subjects of neutral countries.
The complete list of these men who
no longer care for American citizenship
has just been completed under direc
tion of John K. Kollock, executive sec
retary of the State Council of Defense.
By him it is called the "report of citi
zens of neutral countries who have
canceled declaration papers to escape
the draft."
Citizenship Privilege Lost.
No one of the 94 aliens retains the
privilege of obtaining citizenship in
this country. They will never be made
citizens, even through deception, if the
State Council of Defense succeeds in its
purposes. Copies of the list are being
made and mailed to every naturaliza
tion bureau office and every State
Council of Defense of the Nation. The
records are to be preserved and re
ferred to if the "undesirables" listed
appear with new requests to become ci
tizens. Men of Swedish descent have most
freely sought refuge from the draft
through canceling their citizenship.
Thirty-eight Swedes who had once de
clared intention of becoming American
citizens changed their minds during
the war. Of the Swiss there were 17.
Norwegians ranked second, with 21
cancellations. Men of other nationali
ties who took this step were: Span
iards, 10; Danes, 3; Dutch, 2; Bulga
rians, 2; Russian, 1.
Many Aliens Qnlt State.
Agitation by loyal citizens at the
time such cancellations were being
made caused many of the aliens to
lose their positions, and many have
since left the state. Reports of citizen
Bhip withdraws! were made principally
by draft boards. The record now made
includes pertinent facts about the men,
their attitude and what happened to
them.
Swedes who have "canceled their
declaration papers to avoid the draft"
head the list. Street addresses only
are given for Portland residents. The

Wilson in receiving the freedom of the
City of Manchester at the Free Trade
Hall. "America is not interested merely
in the peace of Europe, but in the peace
of the world," he added:
"If the future had nothing for ua but
a new attempt to keep the world at the
right poise by a balance of power," the
President added, "the United States
would take no interest in it, because
she will join no combination of power
which is not a combination of us all."
There was a feeling of cordial fra
ternity and friendship between America
and Great Britain, declared the Presi
dent, which-was based on the principle
of friendship and patriotism that led
men to give more than was demanded.
The partnership of interests which had
attempted the government of the world
had broken down, he said, as interest
did not bind, men together but sep
arated them. Common devotion to the
right was the only thing, he Insisted,
that could bind men together.
Voice of Humanity Heard.
In the settlement which is just ahead
something more difficult than ever at
tempted before had to be accomplished
a genuine concert of mind and pur
pose the President said, but a keen
international conscientiousness would
make it easy. There is a great voice
of humanity abroad in the world, and
he who cannot hear is deaf," he added.
"We are not obeying'the mandate of
parties or politics," the President con
tinued, "we are obeying the mandate
of humanity." If the world Is to re
main a body of friends, he said, there
must be an easy and constant method of
conference so that troubles could be
taken when they were little and not al
lowed to grow until they are big.
"I wish we could, for the whole
world, enter a league and covenant and
declare ourselves the friends of man
kind." the President added.
The President said he was not hope
ful that the individual items of the set
tlement which was about to be - at
tempted would be altogether satis
factory. Machinery Held Needed.
"One only has to apply his mind." he
continued, "to any one of the questions
of boundary, of altered sovereignty, of
racial aspiration, to do something more
than conjecture this. There is no man,
no body of men, who knows Just how
they ought to be settled, and yet, if
we are to make satisfactory settle
ments, we must see to it that they are
rendered more and more satisfactory by
subsequent adjustment which is made
possible. We must provide the ma
chinery for readjustments in order that
we may have the machinery of good
will and friendship." " .
FAREWELL DISXEB PRIVATE
Cokesit, at Standlfer Yard, and West
Coram, at Columbia River Plant,
to Close Year's Work.

launching the hull of the steamer West-
brook January 13. It was the second
of the fleet. The floating of the last
on December 31, twisted Into 13 by
shifting the figures, is In keeping with

it was-one of the most satisfactory of
the launchings that have taken place
there. . The yard band contributed to
the programme and a number of per
sons were present as guests of William
Ccrnfoot, president of the corporation.
Mrs. Pape was the recipient of a most
attractive dull gold bracelet, set with
diamonds. The inscription on it in
cluded the -name of the sponsor, the

HONOR ROLL PLAN SCORED
Senator Borah Brings "Peilt Lar
ceny" to Attention of Senate.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 30. Sending
under Government frank of advertise
ments for honor rolls to relatives of
soldiers whose names appear in the
casualty lists was criticised in the Sen
ate today by Senator Borah, of Idaho,
Republican. The Senator read a let
ter signed by the American Honor Roll
Company of Hartford, Conn., agreeing
to send an honor roll to the recipient
of the letter for $1. The letter, he
said, was received in an envelope from
the office of the Adjutant-Ueneral and
sent under Government frank.
Senator Borah said this was a
"picayunish petit larceny system to get
a dollar out of the kin of those
wounded in this war," and added that
his purpose in brlniring the matter to
the attention of the Senate was "so
the Adjutant-General's office would
know how this matter is being car
ried on."
