Rome, Jan. 4. President
Wilson 'left Rome fb'r Paris
shortly after nine o'clock to
night with the cheers of the
Roman throng that had gath
ered to witness his departure
ringing in his ears. His visit to
the Italian capital had proved
the busiest of his European trip
as it was the most demonstra
tive. The Presidential party is not
expected to reach Paris until
Tuesday morning, as the itiner-
, ary provides for sttps at Ge
noa. Milan and Turin.
The President is represented
as expecting, on his return to
the French capital, to find the
! peace delegates up to the point
of deciding upon the first prin-
, ciples of the proposed league
of nations, thus paving the way
to the disposal of what he re
gards as the necessary prelimi
naries to the peace conference
before his return to the United
States about the middle of Feb-
ruary. -

President's Speech in Accept
ing The Honor at Rome
. Yesterday
President Wilson was made a
inrmhrr of the Realc Aecademia dc
I.incoi, or Royal Academy of Bcirace
this morning. ,"
The President and Mrs. Wilson
were seated between the King and
Queen while among others present
were tho American Ambassador,
Thoirms felson Page, and other ,
members of the diplomat ie corps
and many distinguished Italiaa of
ficials and (x ientiits.
K'liulor U'Ouidio, who is presi
dent of the Academy, hailed the
President as the worthy representa
tive of tfce ' Culture of the New
World, which bow evivLtics the
ancient nurture of ,thl old world.
Preelaeat't Bepty. , '
In reply, President Wilson said:
"Your Maajesty, Mr. President
and, Gentlemen of . the. Aedeiny;t.
"I have listened with the pro
foundeat appreciation to the beauti
ful address which you have been
kind enough to deliver, and I want
to say how deeply J appreciate the
honor you have conferred upon me
in permitting me to become a mem
txer of this great Academy, because
there is. a sense in which the eoa
timiity of hnman thought rs ia the
rare of bodies like this. There is
a serenity, a long view, on the part
of science, which ecms to be of bo
age, but to carry human thought
along from generation to generation
freed from the elements of pas
sion. .' '
"Therefore, itls.1 dare aay, with'
all men of science a matter ef pro
found regret and shame that
science should in a nation which has
made science itsboast have beeu
put to such dir-hiyiorable nsea in
the recent war. Kve ry just mind ,
must condemn tho?e who so debas
ed the studies oLmen of science as
to use them agjUast-hnjiiiuiity-lind,
therefore, it iarpart-f ywrTass:
and of ours to reclaim science
from this disgrace to ahoy that she
is devoted to the advancement and
interest of humanity and not to its
embarrassments and destruction.
--, Nt a HeienlM.
f 'I wish very much that I could
believe that I was in some sense a
worthy representative of tfce men
of science of the TnitM 8ttes. I
cannot claim to be in aay proper
sense a man of science. Aly stud
ies have been in the field of politics
all my life, and while politics may
by courtesy be called a science, it
1 a science which is often-practiced
without rule and is very had to set
up standards for, so that one can
be sure that one is steering the
right course.
"At the same time, whiie perhaps,
there is no science of government,
there ought to be, 1 dare, say, in
government (itself the srfril of
science, that ia to suy, the spirit of
disinterestedness, " the " spirit ' of
seeking after the truth so far as the
truth is ready to be applied to hu
'inaa circumstances.
Problem or Politics.
"Because, aftfr t.11,, the proM m
of politics is to satisfy men in the
arrangement of their live), is
realize for them, so far bs possi
ble, the objects which tliry have en
tertained generation after genera
tion and have seen so often post
poned. ...
"Therefore, I have often tliougl.l
that the universities and. academies
of science have their part in simpli
fying the problems of political af
fairs, and thus assting to advance
human life along the lines of poli
tical structure .'and political ac
tion. "It is very delightful to draw
apart for a little while into this
quiet place and fee again that
familiar touch of thought and., of
knowledge which it has been my
privilege to know familiarly
through so gryat a part-of my life.
If I have come cut oa a more ad
venttireous and disordered stage, I
hope that I have not lost the recol
lection and nay in some sense be
assisted by councils such, aa fours.
