" : .Boston, Feb. 25.--Pi^dent ^tlsofc, to his first Speech on arriving in the. ^United States flrom France, declared the nations of tae world look to America for help. He spoke as follows: "Governor Coolldge, Mr. Mayor, Fellow Citizens:--I wonder if you are half as glad to see ij»e as I am to see you. If warms my heart to See a great body of my fellow Htlzens again, because la some respects during the recent months I have been very lonely indeed without your comradeship and counsel, and I tried at every step of the work which fell to u.e to recall what I was sure would be your counsel with regard to the great matters which were under consideration. i Gives Credit to People. $ .7*1 do not want you to think that 1 have not been appreciative of the extraordinary generous reception which was given to me on the other side in saying that it wakes me very hftppy to get home again.. "I do not mean to say that I was not lery deeply touched by the cries that tiame from the great crowds on the Other side. But I want to say to you .Ml all honesty that I felt them to b< • call of greeting to you rather than ' *;me i ' - I. tf%liave not come to report The prouledings or the results of the pro- •iAVedings of the peace conference; that " WOuld be premature. "Very Happy Impressions." "I can say that I have received very :tJ|hppy Impressions fr<& this confer- Wce; the impression that while there ire many differences of judgment, while there are some divergences' of object, there is nevertheless a common spirit and a, common realization of the Necessity of setting up new standards right in the world. ."The conference seems to you to go <|owly; from day to day in Paris it djsems to go slowly; but I wonder If 'jjjjpu realize the complexity of the task Ihich it has undertaken. It seems if the settlements of this war affect, ttd affect directly, every great, and I sometimes think every small nation in fie world, and no one decision can jfirudently be made which is not properly linked in with the great series other decisions which must accom- *tny " must be reckoned in with the final result if the real quality and character of that result is to •P properly judged. 7 |' "W hat we are dping Is to hear the : Ifhole case; hear it from the mouths of ?e men most interested; hear it from ose who are officially commissioned It stute it; hear the rival claims; hear #e claims that affect new nationalities, that affect new areas of the world, tfcat affect new commercial and ecolgjn- ic connections that have been established by the great world war gj • . ^routh which we have gone.

She did not believe in us throughout the first three years of the war. She seems really to'have believed tbnt we were holding off because we thought we could make more by staying out than by going in. J "And all of a sudden. In a short eighteen months, the whol<* verdict Is 'reversed. There can be but one explanation for it. They saw what we did--that without making a sing'e claim we put ull our men and all ohr means at the disposal of those who were fighting for their homes, in the first instance, but for a caus^, the cause of human rights and justice, and that we went in, not to support their national claims, bttt to support the great cause which they held in tommob. * f- "Converted to America." "And when they saw that Amertcn not only held ideals, but acted ideals, they were converted to America and became firm partisans of those Ijileais. "I met a group of scholars when I was in . Paris--some gentlemen from one of the Greek- diversities \yiio had come to see, me, and in whose presence, or rather in the presence of those traditlJJhs of learning, I felt very young indeed. I told them that I had one of the* delightful revenges that sometimes comes to man. Aii my life I had heard men speaH: with' a sort of condescension of ideals and Idealists, and particularly thos^J separntel, iQclptafeered persons whoui they choose to term academic, who were in the habit of jittering ideals in the freo atmosphere when they clash with nobody in particular. <• "And I said | have had this sweet revenge. Speaking with perfect frankness in the name of the people of the United States. I have uttered as the objects of this great war ideals and nothing but ideals, and the war hns been won by that inspiration. "Men were fighting with tense muicle and lowered head until they came to realize those things, feeling they were fighting for (heir lives and their country, and when these accents of what it was all about reached them from America they lifted their heads, they raised their eyes to heaven, when they saw men in khaki coming across the sea in the spirit of crusaders, and they found that these were strange men. reckless of danger not only, but reckless because thfey seemed to see something that made that danger worth while. "Men have testified to me in Europe that our men were possessed hy something that they could only call a religions fervor: They were not like anv of the other soldiers. They had a vision. they had a dream, and they were fighting in the dream. "One of our American hunlorists^ meeting the criticism that American soldiers were not trained long enough, said: 'It takes only half as long *o train an American soldier as any other, because you have only to train hln to go one way, and he did only go one way, and he never came back until he could do it when he pleased.' Imposes Burden Upon Us. And now do you realize that this confidence we have established throughout the world Imposes a burden upon us--If you choose to call it a burden. It is one of those burdens which any nation ought to be proud to carry. Any man who resists the present tides ihat run in the world will find himself thrown upon a shore so high and icrren that It will seem as if he had been separated from his human kind forever. "The Europe that t left the other da$r was full of something that It had never felt fill Its heart so full before. It was full of hope. The Europe of the second year of the war, the Europe of the third year of the war, was sinking to a sort of stubborn desperation. They did not see,any great thing to be achieved even when the war should be won. They hoped there would be some salvage; they hoped that they could clVar their territories of invading i.rmies; they hoped they could set up their homes and start their industries afresh. "Bui they thought it would simply be the resumption of the Old life that Europe had, led--led in fear, led In anxiety.- led In constant suspicious watchluln « SR. They npVer. dreamed that it would be a Europe of settled peace and of justified hope. "And now these ideals have wrought this new magic, that all the peoples of Europe are buoyed np and confident In the spirit of hope, because they bflieve that we are at the eye of a new age in the world when nations will bet ter understand one another. "If America were in this juncture to full the world, what would come of it? 1 do not mean any disrespect tQ any other great people when I say that America Is the hope of the world; and if she does not justify that hope the result* are unthinkable. "Men will be thrown back upon the bitterness of disappointment not only, but the bitterness of despair. All na killed instantly on deck by being dashed against a.cabin by a wave. tions will be set np as hostile tamps again. ? " . Does Not Know Amsrica., "Suppose we sign the treaty of peace and that It is the most satisfactory trenty of peace that the confusing elelnento of the modern world will afford, and gc home and think about our labors; we will know that we have-left written upon the historic table at Versailles, ui>on which Vergennes and Betjamin Franklin wrote their nameft* nothing but a modern scrap of paper; no nations united to defend it, no great forces combined to make It good, no assurance given to the down-trodden end fearful people of the world that they shall be safe. "Any man who thinks that America will take part in giving the world any such rebuff and disappointment as that does not know America. "I invite him to test the sentlmetits cf the nation. We set this up to make men tree and we did not confine our conception and purpose to America nod now we will make men free. If we did not do that the fame of' America would be gone and all her powers would be dissipa'ted. She then would have to keep her power for those narrow, selfish, provincial purposes which 4 seem so dear to some minds that have no sweep beyond the nearest horizon. 'I could welcome no sweeter challenge than that. I have fighting blood in me an<J it is sometimes a delight to let it have scope, but If it is a challenge on this occasion it will be an indulgence. Think of the picture, think of the utter blackness that would fall on the- world. America has failed! America made a little essay «t generosity and then withdrew. America suit1: 'We are your friends,' but It was only for today, not for tomorrow.* Speaks of "Friendless." "America said: 'Here Is our power •o vindicate right,' and then the next day said: 'Let right take care of Itself and we will take care of ourelves.' America said: 'We set up a light to lead men along the paths of libet ty. but we have lowered It. It is intended only to light our own path.' We set up a great Ideal of liberty and then we said; 'Liberty Is n thing that you must win for yourself. Do not call upon us,' and think of the world that we would leave. "Do you realize how many new nations are going to be set up ln the presence of old and powerful nations, lh Europe and left there. If left by -as, without a disinterested triend? Do you believe in the Polish cause, us I do? Are you going to set lip Poland. Immature, Inexperienced, as yet unorganized, a4id leave her with a circle of armies around her? Do yon believe in the aspiration of the Czechoslovaks and the Jngo-Slavs as I do? , Do you know how many powers would be quick to pounce upon them if there were not the guaranties of the world behind their liberty? Hjive you thought of the suffering of Armenia? Tou poured out your money to help succor the Armenians after they suffered; now set your strength so that they shall never suffer again. "The arrangements^ of the present peace cannot stand a generatioh unless they are guaranteed by the united forces of the civilized world. And if we do not guarantee them, can you not see the picture? Your hearts have instructed you where the burden of this war fell. It did not fall upon the national treasuries; It did not fall upon the instruments of administration ; it did not fall upon the resources of the natiofis. It fell upon the victims' homes everywhere, where women were toiling in hope that their men < would come back. 'When I think of the homes upon which dull despair would settle where this great hope Is disappointed, I should wish for my part never to have had America play any part whatever in this attempt to emancipate the world. But I talk as If there were any question. I have no more doubt of the verdict of America in this matter than I have doubt of the blood that Is in me. Goal Alone Can Stop Progress. "And so, my fellow citizens, I have come back to report progress, and I do not believe that the progress is going to stop short of the goal. The nations of the world have set their heads now to do a great thing, and they are not going to slacken their purpose. "I have come back' for a strenuous attempt to transact business for a little while in America, but I have really come back to say to you. In all soberness and honesty, that I have been trying my best to speak your thoughts. "When.I sample myself, I think I find that I am a typical American, and If I sample deep enough, and get down to what is probably the true stuff of a man, then I have hope that It Is part of the stuff that is like the other feU low's at home. "And, therefore, probing deep In my heart and trying to see the thlhgs that lire right without i^gard to the things that may be debated as expedient, I feel that I am Interpreting the purpose ^ind the thought of America; and in loving America I find I have joined the great majority of my fellow' men throughout the world."

The eyes of the waiting throng rested earnestly on thousands of soldiers, sailors, marines and police detailed for the protection "and guard of honor for the chief executive.

One anarchist also was arrested here. Hundreds of secret service and department of Justice agents, together with local detectives, mingled with the crowd. Expert riflemen also were posted nt numerous points of vantage. The pageant moved through Sumner, Winter, Park, Beacon, Charles, Boylston and Arlington streets to picturesque Commonwealth avenue, and then through Dartmouth street to Copley square. A brief pause was made before the state capitol, where the governors of the New England sjates and severalhundred wounded veterans reviewed the parade. Special guards were stationed at every door, corridor and elevator entrance at the Copley Plaza as the president was served with luncheon.

Seattle, Wash., Feb. 24.--Twenty men are In jail here awaiting trial in the state courts on charges of criminal anarchy in connection with the recent general strike of organized labor.

This was made plain here by Assistant Secretary of the Navy Franklin D. Roosevelt, who returned from Europe with President Wilson on the transport George Washington. Discu^siag the work accomplished, the assistant secretary said: "During the war we had 359 vessels all classes based in European ports. We had a total of 54 stations located in different parts of Great Britain, Ireland, France, Italy, Greece, Gibraltar and the Azores. "Of these 20 were seaplane stations. The work of our planes, especially along the coast of France, was wonderful. Day after day these aviators, utterly fearless, braved all sorts of weather conditions, keeping the ocean lanes open at their end to allow the free passage of the vessels carrying troops, munitions and supplies. • . * "When the armistice was signed we had a total of 160,000 men and officers abroad. 'The work of our marines at Chateau Thierry, Bellgau woods, Soissons, St. Mihiel and bther points is historic, but the ^act that their casualties were more than 100 per cent, is not. Their strength was always kept up through replacements, of whom 8,000 were sent abroad. The marines and the Second division in which they were have a record for the capture of more prisoners--they took 12,000^--more artillery, advancing more kilometers than any other division. Their heroism and lighting qualities will occupy a prominent place in the record of the war, and we are all proud that they are a part of the navy organization. "One of the greatest accomplishments of the war was the laying df the mine barrage in the North sea. This work was one of the biggest tasks initiated during the war. Had it been carried through to completion it would have meant that a total of 100,000 individual mines, costing $50,- 000,000, would have been laid down from the Orkney islands across the North sea to Norway, completely blocking the operations of the German U-boats. "This work was undertaken byagreement with the British admiralty. The United States undertook to do four-fifths of the work and the British one-fifth. When the armistice ended the labor we had laid a total of 56,- 613 individual mines at a cost of $31,- 000,000, and the British had laid 13,> 625 mines at a cost to them of $7,000,- 000. "These 'made-in-America' mines had a great deal to do with the reduction of the efficiency of the. German 'tin fish.' "Aside from the 54 stations which we maintained in Europe, we had battleships with the British grand fleet, battleships and other warships based In Ireland, several radio stations, the famous naval battery of 14-lnch guns which 'served with Pershing' and our marines. . * - "The trip has* been even more successful than I had yentured to hope. Generally speaking, the navy demobilization in Europe has been completed. We retain only" a mine-sweeping base In Scotland and the port facilities for the naval transport bringing the troops home. About 8,000 men now .being held will soon go to take over German ships allotted to the United States as transports."
