"Tho outrages they hnvo committed are in credible. I think it impossible to re store penco to Kurope with rhnos prevailing In Russia.

All Nations Will Set Up Hostile Camps Attain and Peace Conference Will Have Failed Reception In Europe Regarded as a Welcome to the United States and in No Sense Personal. BOSTON, Feb. 24. President Wilson spoke as follows: j "Governor Coolidge, Mr. Mayor, Fellow Citizens: "I wonder If you are half as glad to see me as I am to see you. H warms my heart to seo a. great body of my fellow citizens again because in some respects during the recent months I have been Tery lone ly indeed without your comradeship and counsel, and I tried at every step of the work which fell to me to recall what I -as sure would be your coun sel with regard to the great matters which were under consideration. "I do not want you to think that I bare not beep appreciative of the extraordinarily generous reception I which was given to me on the other I side, in Baying that It makes me very happy to get home again. I do not mean to say that 1 was not very deep ly touched by the cries that came from the great crowds on the other side. But I want to say to you in all honesty that I felt them to bo a call of greeting to you rather than to me. Greeting Nit Porsonnl "I did not feel that the greeting was personal. I had In my heart the overcrowding pride of being your rep resentative and of receiving the plau dits of men everywhere who felt that your hearts beat with theirs iu the cause of liberty. There was no mis taking the tone in the voices of those great crowds.. It was not a tone of mere greeting, It was not a tone of mere generous welcome; it was the calling comrade to comrade the cries that come from men who say 'we have wnited for this day when the friends of liberty should come across the sea and shake hands with us, to see thnt a new world was coostructed upon a new basis and foundation of Justice and right.' "I can't tell you the Inspiration that came from the sentiments thnt come out of those simple voices of the crowd. And the proudest thing I ffnvo to report to you is that this great country or ours Is trusted thru out the world. ' Common Spirit Rules "I have not come to report the pro ceedings or the result of the proceed ings of the conference, that would be premature. I can say that I have received very happy impressions from this conference; the impression that while thero are many differences of Judgment, while there are some di vergences of object, there Is never theless a common spirit and a com mon realization of the necessity of setting up new standards of right In i the worrd. ' I "Because the men who are In con ference in Paris realize as keenly as any American can realize tnat iney are not the masters of their people; that they are the servants of their people and that the spirit of their people has awakened to a new pur pose and a new conception of their power to realize that purpose, and Ithnt no man dare go home from thnt conference nnd report anything less noble than was expected of It. Slow Progress n Necessity ' "The conference seems to you to go slowly; from day -to day In Paris It seems to go slowly; but I wonder if you realize tho complexity of the tnsk which It has undertaken. It seems that It the settlements of the war affect, and affect directly, every great, and I sometimes think every small nation In the world, no one decision can prudently bo mndo which is not properly linked with the great series of other decisions which must accompany It. And it must be reckoned in with the final result If tho real quality and character of that result Is to be properly Judged. "What we are doing Is to hear the whole case; har It from the mouths -of the men most Interested; hear It from those who are officially com missioned to state It; hear the rival claims; hear the claims that affect new nationalities, that affect new . areas of .the world, that affect new commercial and economic . connec tions that have been established by the great world war thru which we have gone. And I have been struck: bythe moderateness of those" Who ' have represented national claims. I -can testify that I have nowhere seen the gleam of passion: I have seen earnestness, I have seen tears come to, the eyes of men who plead for down-trodden people whom they were privileged to speak for; but they were not the tears of anguish, they were the tears of ardent hope. .... America Sought After . , "I don't see how any man can fail to have been subdued by these pleas, subdued to this feeling, that he was not there to assert an Individual judgment of his own, but to try to assist the cause of humanity. ' "And in the midst of It every in terest seeks out first of all, when It reaches Paris, the representatives of the United States. WhyT Because and I think I am stating 'the most wonderful fact in history because there is no nation In Kurope that suspects the motives of the United States. , . ;":;. .' "Was thero ever so wonderful a thing seen before? Was there ever so moving a thing? Was there ever; any fact that so bound the nation that had won that esteem forever to deserve it? Distrust Each Other "I would not have you understand that the great men who represent the other nations there in conference are dis-esteemed by those who know them. Quite the contrary. But yoti understand that the nations of Eur ope have again and again clashed, with ane another- In competitive' In terest. It is impossible for men to forget those sharp Issues that were drawn between them in times past. It is Impossible for men to believe that ambitions have all of a sudden been foregone. , They remember ter ritory that was coveted; they remem-; ber rights thnt It-was attempted to extort; they remember political am biions which it was attempted to realize and, while they believe that men have come Into a different tem per, they cannot forget these things, and so they do not resort, to one an other for a dispassionate view of th'e matter in controversy. They resort to that nation which has won the enviable distinction or being regarded as the friend of mnnkind. "Whenever It is desired to Bend n small' force of soldiers to occupy ft piece of territory where It Is thought nobody else will be welcome, thoy ask for American soldiers. And where other soldiers would be looked upon with suspicion and perhaps meet with resistance, the American soldlor Is welcomed with acclaim ' ('rounds for I'l'ido "I have had so many grounds for pride on the other side of the water thnt I am very thankful that thoy are not grounds for personal pride. I'd be tho moat stuck-up man in the world. And it has been an Infinite pleasure to me to see those gallant soldiers of ours, of whom, the con stitution of the United States made me the proud commander. You may be proud of the 211th division, but I (Continuod on Page Bight)
