great bunting and flags everywhere.

the United States must^take a larger
view of its duties and its obligations
and it must now recognize its obvi
ous destiny to serve the wojld.
The reception given Wilson today
was another extraordinary tribute to
his popularity, but it was evident
that it was far less politically signi
ficant than others which he has re
ceived in the east.
Tonight he is to speak before a
large audience.
President Wilson announces that
he had sent in the names of Colonel
Gotehals as head of the railroad
eight hour commission, to be assist
erf by George Uublee of the Inter

been heard as to who would be the
choice made.

his return from this city according
to present understanding, although
no definite arrangements has as yet
been made.
