Great preparatons have been made
In Brest for the recepton of President
Wilson, who wil> be met by General
Pershing and a number of French
notables upon his arrival.
BREST, France, Dec 13—The
George Washington convoyed by an
immense fleet of American and Al
lied warships greeted by the thunder
of the guns of the Brest coast forti
fications, arrived here shortly before
noon today, after a very pleasant voy
age across the Atlantic.
Generals Pershing and Bliss, the
American Ambassador to France
Sharp, Colonel House and the French
Foreign Minister Pinchon boarded the
George Woshington immediately after
she had dropped her anchor in the
harbor, to greet President Wilson, and
escorting the President and his party
to shore. On landing the President
was wildly cheered by an immense
throng of spectators.
Before leaving Brest, President
Wilson made a statement that he will
insist that the Allies make good on the
acceptance of his fourteen peace terms
as formulated in h,is congressiona
address last January.
The President said that he is op
posed to the contemplated action by
some of the Allies to strip the Cen
tral Powers, especially Germany,
completely for indemnities. Such ac
tion the President stated would only
compel a repudiation of all debts by
these powers, as it would be absolute
ly impossible for them to pay the in
demnities that, as has been stated
would be insisted upon being paid to
some of the powers as one of the con
ditions under which they are willing
to negotiate a peace treaty.
President Wilson declared that he
favors the payment of indemnities by
the Central Powers but only after
their resources have been carefully
and scientifically appraised.
This matter the President declared
would be fully discussed at the Peace
Conference and he hoped that he
would be able to bring the delegates*
together to adjust the indemnity
question with justice to all concerned.
