Y., July 8.— President Wilson arrived at Car- negie Hall.at 5:25 p. m. As the président stepped from his auto- mobile a massed naval and mili- tary band played the “Star Spangled Banner,” while the military escore presented arms. Mr. Wilson was preceded to the stage by Vice President and Mrs. Marshall, Champ Clark former speaker of the house, and Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, all of whom were recog- nized and cheered by the crowd. The president’s appearance on the platform was the signal for an ovation which lasted some minutes, ending when the band broke into the strains of “Over There.” There was a _ sudden pause when an officer in British uniform unexpectedly appeared on the platform. Mr. Wilson jumped to his feet and crossed the stage to meet him, and the volume as the word flashed through the hall that the straug- er was Major G. H. Scott, com- mander of the British transat- lantic dirigible R-84. Brief welcoming speeches were made by Rodman Wana- maker, Mayor Hylan and Gov- ernor Smith. The governor in- troduced the president as the bearer of a peace treaty “worthy. cheering broke out in redoubled | te point out and say—‘These aremy feilost countrymen. Won Universal Affection. “Tt softens ‘the homesickness a good deal to have so much of home along with you, and these boys were constantly reminding me of home. Théy did not walk the streets like anybody else. I do not mean that they walked the streets self-assertively. They did not. They walked the streets as if they knew that they be- longed wherever free men lived, that they were welcome in the great republic of France and were comrades with the other armies that had helped to win the war and to share the great sacrifice. Because it is a won- dertul thing for this nation, hitherto isolated from the large affairs of the world, to win not only the universal confidence of the people of the world, but their universial affections. “And that is what has hap- pened. Wherever it was sug- gested that troops should be sent: and it was desired that troops of occupation should excite no prej- udice, no uneasiness on the part of those to whom they were sent, the men who represented the other nations came to me and asked me to send American soldiers. “They not only implied, but they said, that the presence of American soldiers would be know not to mean anything ex- cept friendly protection and assistance. Do you wonder that it made our hearts swell with pride? Eager to Get Home “But while these things in some degree softened my home sickness, they made me all the more eager to get home, where the rest of the folks live; to get of the honor, dignity and maj- esty of this great country.” When Mr. Wilson stepped to the front of the stage the band again began playing the national anthem, but was drowned in the cheers of the several thousand men and women in the audience. Mr. Wilson was _ obviously under the strain of deep emotion when he began to speak, and his voice was noticeably hoarse. Was Homesick in Paris. The full text of President Wilson’s speech at Carneigie Hall follows: “Fellow Countrymen: I am not going to try this afternoon to make you a real speech. I am a bit alarmed to find how many speeches I have in my system undelivered, but they are all speeches that come from the mind, and I want to say to you this afternoon only a few word: from the heart. “You have made me deeply happy by the generous welcome you have extended to me, but J do not believe that the welcome Why, Jerseyman tiful. water to conceal most homesick man in the American expeditionary force,, would be vain for me to try to express that I find myself in’ this beloved country again. I dc not say that because I lack in admiration of other countries. “There have been many things that softened my homesickness. One of the chief things that softened it was the very gener- ous welcome that they extended to me as your representative on the other side of the water. America Revealed. “And it was still more soften- ed by the pride that I had in discovering that America had at last convinced the world of her true character. “T was welcome because they had seen with their own eyes what America had done for the world. They had deemed her selfish. They had deemed her devoted to material interests, and they had seen.her boys come across the water with a vision even more beautiful than that which they conceived when they had entertained dreams of liber- ty and peace. “And then I had the added pride of finding out by personal observation the kind of men we had sent over. I had crossed the seas with the kind of men who had taken them over, without whom they could not have got to Europe, and then I saw that army of men, that army of clean men, that army of men devoted to the high interests of human- ity that army that one was you extend to me is half as great] a people like this. as that which I.extend to you.| some people, some persons, do though I am.{not understand this is the first time I ever} They have looked too much upon thought that Hoboken was beau-| the ground. They have thought and it is with feelings that it do home where the great dynamo of national energy was situated; to get home where the great pur- poses of national action were formed and to be allowed to take part in the counsels and in the actions which were formed, and to be taken by this great nation which from first to last has fol-| lowed the vision of the men who set it up and created it, “We have had our eyes very close upon our tasks at times, but whenever we lifted them, as we were accustomed to lift them toadistant horizon, we were aware that all the peoples of the earth had turned their faces to- ward us as those who were friends of freedom and right, and whenever we thought of national policy and of its relation upon the affairs of the world, we knew we were under bonds to do the large thing and the right thing, “Tt was a privilege, therefore, beyond all computation, for a man, whether in a great caparity or a small, to take part in the counsels and in the resoutions of I am afraid that vision. too much of the interests that “I have really, though I have} were near them, and they have tried on the other side of the} not listened to the voices of their it, been the} neighbors. Help for Liberty. “T have never had a moment’s ubt as to where the heart and purpose of this people lay. When anyone on the other side of the water has raised the question, ‘Will America come in and help’ I have said ‘Of course, America will come in and help.’ She will not disappoint any high hope that has been formed of her. Least of all will she, in this day born liberty all over the world, fail to extend her hand of sup- port and assistance to those who have been made free. “T wonder if at this distance you can have got any conception of the tragic intensity of the feeling of those peoples in Europe who have just had yokes thrown off them. Have you recokoned up in your mind how many peoples, how many nations, were held unwillingly under the yoke of the Austro- Hungarian empire, under the yoke of Turkey, under the yoke of Germany? New Day Dawns. “These yokes have been thrown off. These peoples breathe the air and look around to see a new day dawn about then, and whenever they think of what is going to fill that day with action, they think first of us.

Yes, the formulation of the peace is end- ed, but it creates only a new task just begun. I believe that if you will stuly the peace, you will see that.it is a just peace, and a peace which, if it can be preserv- ed, will save the world from un- necessary bloodshed. “And now the great task is to. preserve it. I have come back with my heart full of enthu- siasm for throwing everything that I can, by way of influence or action, in with you to see that the peace is preserved, that when the long recokning comes, men may look back upon this generation of America and say ‘They were true to the vision which they saw at their birth.’ ” BEAVERS MENACE CROPS. Beavers in streams tributary to the Goose creek reservoir in Cassia county have backed up sufficient water with dams they have built to irrigate all crops on the Twin Falls, Oakley project which are now burning up for want of moisture, according to Dave Rich, chief deputy in the state game department, who re- cently made a visit to this sec- tion. Mr. Rich went to Oakley to destroy with dynamite the dams built by the beavers, but found the job too big and gave up in despair. He says not less than 5000 beavers are living in the streams tributary to Goose creek between Oakley and the Nevada state line. Last Sunday Mr. Rich des- troyed four large dams. When he returned to the point where the dams had stood the next day he found that the beavers had rebuilt two. This autumn when furs can be saved the beaver will be trapped out of the streams and the dams destroyed. Mr. Rich says it is too late in the season to under- take the work now. Serious trouble between farm- on Goose creek before the Twin Falls Oakley project was built and the water company may re- sult, Mr. Rich learned, because of the water shortage. There is some water in the reservoir. It is being saved to give grain a last soaking within a few days. The second cutting of alfalfa is going to be almost a total fail- ure, Mr. Rich declared. Farm- ers who lived on Goose creek be- fore the big irrigation project was constructed traded their rights for rights under the pro- ject and now find themselves without water.—Boise States- man.
