British Communists campaign at Trafalgar Square for recognition of Soviet Russia

Slate reads; "Peace with Russia Meeting. Demonstration to advocate recognition of Soviet Government held in Trafalgar Square." A large crowd is gathered at the Square. Several speakers address them from the base of Nelson's Column (A400 Trafalgar Square, London, United Kingdom), next to the lion statues. One banner seen reads: "prepare to lay down tools," pointed at working men. A call for "copper donations" results in an outpouring of pennies, which men pick up from the ground and carry to the front where one of the only women seen, is consolidating the contributions. Two men converse. One wears a fez.

President Woodrow Wilson's "Pilgrimage of the Heart" visit to Carlisle, England, in 1918.

On the way to the Paris Peace conference, President and Mrs. Wilson visit Carlisle, England, on 29 December 1918. Crowds gather at the Market Place in Carlisle, England, to welcome President Wilson on his “pilgrimage of the heart” visit to this birthplace of his mother. The weather is foggy and drizzling. The Crown & Mitre Hotel (English St, Carlisle CA3 8HZ, United Kingdom), where the President and First lady are staying, and where Wilson signed the freemen's roll, can be seen faintly across the square. A troop of horsemen lead an open horse-drawn carriage carrying the President, Carlisle Mayor Bertram Carr and another official. They step from the carriage in front of the Town Hall to await a second carriage carrying First Lady, Mr. Edith Wilson. While waiting, Wilson doffs his hat and waves to the crowds attending despite inclement weather. The second carriage arrives, and Mrs. Wilson waves a large bouquet of flowers as she steps down from the carriage, followed by Lady Mayoress, Miss Eleanor Carr. The President, First Lady, and others then enter the Town Hall.
