Knctaad seems filled with the spirit of hospitality that cornea from the faeu sad not from mere politeness or expediency. It Is notrgolng too far to any that British officials are as much gratified as the President over the way In which he has been made to feel that the part played by the United States In the war la not for gotten, pd that he la regarded as the personification of the Ideals to. which the-.

free peoples are bound. The cheers that- marked his prosrei through the streets of London on all occasions when he was in the public view seemed to have a depth of feel ins betokening- genuineness, English men and Englishwomen erery where agree that London has never before shown such enthusiasm; In gTeetlns; a distinaTilshed forcla-ner. Whether this statement is correct or not, the fact remains that everybody believe it.

The semi-official state ment that no fundamental differences exist over the peace terms as the result of several long conferences on Friday and Saturday between the President and the chief British repre sentatives indicates bow completely the sentiment existed on both aides that the cause Involved wsa tod treat to permit dissension. Behind the whole situation. Judged by all that Is said and known to hare taken place, stands the desire for cordial relationship be. tiween the two nations whose principles in peace and war are fundamentally the same. It la true that no Intimate explanation la yet obtainable of exactly what has been accomplished in the confer ences at Buckingham Palaoe and the Prime Minister's residence.

They cheered lustily from Ihe time the lYeeident's car started through the troop-lined thor-' oughfares until he disappeared within the imposing edifice. The Presidential party alighted In the decorated station, which was ablaxe with lights that set off the crimson carpet the the rows of palms and ma sax of bunting, ths scarlet irbe of Lord Mayor See- gure, the huge white wigs and full dress of the high city officials and ths portly, florid, whlte-rauatached mace bearer, who was quits a favorite with the American troops during the wait for the train. The President greeted and chatted briefly with the Lord Mayor and other officials. He then Inspected the British guard of honor under Lieut.

The detirt manifested everywhere la England to make President Wilson feel that he la more than welcome haa found expression mainly on the occa sions when he was present; but other Incidents occurring without the pres enoe of the president to stir the feel Ing-a show even more plainly that the English people wish closer unity with America. One such Incident took place Satur day night in the presence of his Majesty at a theatre in London in the course of the performance of Chu Chin Chow." The King and Queen and the Queen of Norway occupied the royal box, their guests, the President of the United States and his wife, having gone to dinner at tre mler Lloyd George's' residence. Toward the Ol of the performance what la known parade of natlona was Introduced, with women carrying the standards of the allied countries ap pearl ng in turn.

The first was i handsome young Amason bearing the flag of one of the smaller nations which hsd been at war with Ger many. The applause was generous. and a disposition was shown by soon In ths audience to rise when the na tlonal anthem of that country waa played by the orchestra. It is not customary, however, to pay this tribute of respect when a national anthem la rendered aa part of a. medley.

so the audience kept their soats. Each allied flag got a hearty round of handclapplng as it wss borne serosa the stage, but the outburst was loudest when the Stars and Stripes appeared. Then the handclapplng gave -way to cheering, and soon the people In the crowded house gave way to their emthuslasra4 Some young American officers in the front row', evidently uncertain whether the regulation to rise when The 8tar- Spangled Banner was played applied to this case, finally followed the Hoyle rule as to doubt and came to their feet. The audience, which seemed to be hoping; for that very outcome, rose also, and the enthusiasm became even greater. The King and Queen and the Queen of Norway followed their example.

It was a remarkable dem onst ration of friendly feeling for America. 'When Great Britain's representative marched on the, stage the audience rose as if by a common Impulse, and everybody sang God Save the King!" with, eyes lifted toward, the box where Britain's sovereign stood In acknowledgment, his face grave, but not concealing the fact that he waa deeply touched. The press echoes the sentiments of cordiality toward the President and America shown by the enthusiasm of the London street crowds. We think." says The Observer In an editorial that is typical of the general expressions. that the opportunity was what the "British people have been half-consciously waiting for through the best part of a century." Mrs.

Wilson baa also made a splendid Impression. Those who saw her Saturday at the Guildhall ceremonies were impressed by her dignity ami personal attractiveness.

The suggestion now is that England sides with America. That would leave to Italy the settlement for or against France. That brings one to another phase. which has to do with Italy's effort to gat America to act In the preliminary conferences as mediator between Italy and the Jugoslavs in their dis pute ovar the east coast of the Adri atic. The two cations are at odds now over that question, and there Is daily danger of clashes between their troops.

The Jugoslavs want Trieste, Flume, and the coast south of those ports. Italy now InUmates a willing- as to give the Jugoslavs commercial harbor rights In the use of Flume and to yield outrigh sections of Dalmatla, excepting the port of zara. The Jugoslavs naturally want much more, and were led to believe before the war ended that they would be supported by ail the' Allies except Italy. How America Is aaked to solve this difficulty. If she can do It with fair ness to the Jugoslavs, at the same time satisfying Italy, the bitter country will probably support America on such matters aa the League of Nations.

Doubtless the Government has lost much prestige In the eyes of the public. Its everlasting efforts for compromliies no longer find favor with the people.

Dec.

20, (Associated Press.) Sinn Feiners last night, nfter the announcement, of the election results, blew up the monument erected by public subscription to the Cork soldiers who had fought in the South African war. and jealousy, aa well aa by deep convictions. The pacifists have been routed by what may be called the straightforward masculinity of the electorate, snarod, ruri-ouely enough, by the women voters. The will not be Idle. They will get a following on other lines.

There are clover men among them. Ramsay Mao-iluitatd is educated, persuasive, long-hendad. and gnowden is a vivid, bitter personality, who Is in fact if not in name Ui leader of th extreme So- in lists. They have no great hold over the bulk of the trade unionists, who are the overwhelming majority of the labor movement. On th other hand, Arthur Henderson, not so extreme as Mowtlr-n.

not eu subtle as Maodonald. I.wt very great deal of Influence allh Vhu unions. He Is primarily a trade unionist. Ha is. moreover, a dour, ati-ORs- man.

Hla defection from the rWar Cabinet has injured him, but hla Influence Is still great, and It will grow when the war feeling baa died down. Up to the present these three men have been the strongest leaders of labor. It remains to bo seen If Lloyd Ueorge can find among hi labor Jiautenant leader equally strong who can mold and direct the forces of labor along line HRh which he Is In sympathy. There Is r.o doubt tbst MaoionalO, Henderson, and biioaden will put up a big fight and have substantial backing. Th defeat of Mr.

Asqustn is on. oi Ihn blows that come to all political lead- m. Mr. Baliour was lurneu eeul In Manchester in MMl during th Liberal victories, and ther ar numerous otner instance. It I inconceivable that Ms, Aaquith will be long out of Parliament.

On of his follower will probably resign and yield the place to him. It la probably also only a Question of months. If so long, betor Sir Jorm Himon. a brilliant lawyer of strong ohar-actor. young In years, will earaln in the House of Common.

Hlr John was Mollcltor General at 7, an unprecedented record for a man who started without money or Influence and with nothing but his brains to help him. Me will el-most certainly onr day be a Liberal I rtme Minister. Others who served In Asqulth's Cabinet, like McKenna and Runclman, will assuredly not long remain out of the, arena. They are a pretty strong crowd, ail of them comparatively young, all of them men who have forced their way to th top of the Udder by their own effort and ability. Their- temporary absence rrom the House of Commons IJoyd Oeorge's hand for the moment It wUl not weaken their feelings or their prtn-, tries when thev ret back again.

Then there are th Irish. The Na tionalists are bitter against Lloyd (rorge for nut having put the home rule hill into errect and thus- foreclosed on tht Sinn Feiners. They believe, rightly or wrongly, that th Uleter opposition i -el Du mn insignificant minority now. ana I it is the Hlnn Feiners with whom the Prime Minister will hav to deal, tt is lmKsnlble to believe that they will remain quiescent Is Mr. Lloyd Oeorge going to try to placate them and mt th- opposition of the Conservative members of his Ministry? Is he going to lefy them and by his method of doing so mwl the criticism, In one direction, of section of Labor.

In another of some of the AsqulUiian IJbersIs, and In all Htril every direction of th united Nationalist and 1nn Keln forces? He cannot sit still and do nothing. Beeides. It li not his nature. Whatever happen. I look to see fierce futhtlng In the Hons of Oommone when once peace haa been els.
