4 JANUARY 1919, Page 2

President Wilson arrived in London on Thursday week, and was

greeted with full expression of the heartiest goodwill. The welcome began at Dover ; and when the visitors drove through the streets of London, they passed through a heavy barrage of cheering, which was renewed when the President appeared with the King on a balcony of Buckingham Palace. In thanking Dover for an address of welcome, Mr. Wilson re- marked that his visit to Europe afforded him the opportunity to match his mind with the minds of those who, with a like inten- tion, are preparing to do the best that can be done in the great settlements of the struggle. On the way to the Palace Queen Alexandra came out into the roadway to greet the guests of the nation. At the Palace Mr. Wilson, in response .to the urgent demands of wounded men, said a few-words.
