GOOD WISHES FOR WILSON
Birthday Anniversary Greet
ings Flood the President.


Washington, Dec 2s.-President Will
son celebrated his ffty-eighth birth
day anniversary to-day. but no formal
tiles except call of congratulation
from his Cabinet and the receipt Of
many messages of felicitation from
friends in America and abroad marked
the day as different from other days.
King George Of Great Britain was
the only potentate of the nations at
war that took time off from fighting to
address a cable message of congratula-
ton. The Kings dispatch was re-
ceived early in the day, and was Of the
most formal character.
The President took day of rest
from visitors, seeing only Representa-
tive Underwood, Of Alabama, who dis
cussed river improvement project in
his Congress district.
Among the messages received we're
several from the parents of children
named after the President because
their birthdays were the same as his.
Mr.. Wilson usually answers such mes
sages personally.

Crowded Fast Train on N,
H. Halts 100 Feet from
Burning Cars.

Stamford. Conn, Dec. 2S.-Raymond
Simmons. of 436 East 13Sth ST., New
York. Aagman on an eastbound freight
train of the New Haven Railroad, pre-
vented bad wreck and heavy loss OF
life here this afternoon by Tagging
the Boston express, which left New
York at 1903 o'clock, and bringing 1t
TO a standstill within TWO car lengths
of the wreck Of the freight train OF
which he was crew member. The
air hose on Simmonss train broke in
Selleck's cut, west of Stamford.
Sections OF the train crashed to-
gether and broke" in two or three
places. Two sections were derailed
and a gondola car at the end Of the
freight was flung off track No. upon
track No. 4, over which the Boston eX-
press was approaching at forty miles
an hour.
Simmons and Charles Fox. of New
York. conductor. were in the caboose
of the wrecked freight. There were
eighty-fve cars in the train and way
up in front 60000-galon gasolene
tank had been broken open and caught
fire. The stream of burning gasolene
had swept forward, setting atire every
car ahead Of it, all of which were
loaded. Fox ran toward the burning
tank car, while Simmons grabbed red
flag. In the distance he could see the
fast express train approaching. jerry
Murphy, engineer on the express,
caught sight Of the flag in time TO stop
his train less than two car lengths
away from the broken gondola car that
barred his path.

there would be a fearful wreck if it
ever got by us. That was why my first
thought was TO run back and flag Il,

fire and sixteen other cars laden Drn-
cipally with raw cotton bound for Bid

ford Fire Department was called and
fought the blaze for an hour before

delayed an hour.

the derailment. set fire to the gasolene,
which flowed out through a hole

u. s. CONSULS NOT
WANTED in BELGIUM
German Government Asks
Withdrawal of Some for
Present at Least.
lrrom rho rrllupe rnr,au.l

Washington, Dec. -. The German
government has notified this govern
ment that American consuls in Bel
gium must be acceptable to the Ger
man military authorities. and that IT
is desirable that some of the cOnsuls
be withdrawn for the present at least.
The communication was sent by the
German Embassy to-day 20 the State
Department. It's terms were not made
public, and Secretary Bryan answered
inquiries regarding it with the state
ment that The department was not
ready to make known its attitude on
the matter and therefore would not
discuss the situation at this time.
1t is not thought in Washington that
any of these officials whose exequators
are directed to the absent government
of Belgium is persona non grata TO the
German government at Berlin or to the
military government of the invaded
kingdom, but merely that Germany is
disposed to rearrange the relations with
the United States as affecting occupied
territory for the present military in
terim in Belgian affairs.
The American consuls at the occupied
cities of Antwerp. Liege and Brussels
are America; citizens. so that the pos
sIble objection 70 the occupation of a
consular Office by anv person not of
American nationality cannot exist in
this instance. Some of the consular Of
fees of other nations in those cities.
il - understood. are maintained under
the direction OF subjects Of King Al
bert.
The German note is said to refer only
to consuls and to have no relation to
diplomatic officials. which would in
clude Minister Brand Whitlock and the
members of his staff and encourage.
The disposition OF the State Depart
ment apparently is to recognize the
right Of the authorities Of a captured
territory 10 prescribe at least tenn
porary conditions under which consuls
shall discharge their duties, and il is
contended this can be done without in
any way committing the United States
70 a political recognition of the right
of the military occupant Of a territory
10 its possession.
Mr.. Havenith. TIE Belgian Minister,
called at the State Department to-day
after the German notice had been -
ceived ard then issued statement that
the Belgian government had protested
against the step.
"The issue as well as the cancella-
tion of an exeqUatur are acts which
imply the sovereignty Of the state from
whict they emanate." added the state
ment "Now, a power in military occu-
patton of territory only enjoys &c
facto possession, which cannot be
in 50 tay as its relations
with neutral states are concerned, into
a state of sovereignty. Such change
could only become lawful by the con-
summation of a treaty of peace de- /
termining definitely the status of the /

u. s. SENDS SHARP
NOTE TO BRITAIN
Formally Warns London Government That This Country
Can No Longer Tolerate Unwarranted Interference
with American Commerce on the High Seas.

Washington, Dee. 2S.-The United
States government dispatched a long
note TO Great Britain to-day, insist
ing upon an early improvement in the
treatment of American commerce by
the British feet. IL gave warning that
much feeling had been aroused in this
country, and that public criticism was
general over unwarranted interference
with the legitimate foreign trade Of
the United States.
The document, constituting the
strongest representation on this sub
iect made by the United States to any
of the belligerents since the outbreak
of the war. was cabled to Ambassador
Page TO be formally presented to Sir
Edward Grey, British Foreign Secre-
tary. Its preparation was begun a
month ago by Solicitor Cone Johnson,
Counsellor Robert Lansing and Secre-
tary Bryan. and finally during the last
two weeks had the personal attention
Of President Wilson. who revised its
phraseology with minute care.
As the detailed point of view of the
United States in numerous specific
cases of detentions and seizures OF
cargoes had been set forth in series
OF emphatic protests. most of which
have gone unheeded. to-day's com
munication was couched in general
terms, covering the entire subject Of
the relations between the United
States and Great Britain as affected by
the latter's naval policy, considered
highly Objectionable by this govern
ment.
In Frank Terms.
The note declares at the outset that
the representations are made in a
friendly spirit, but that the United
States considers it best to speak in
terms of frankness, lest silence be con-

CHURCHES END
TRIAL MERGER
Committee Urges Break
ing Union of Calvary
and Fifth AV. Bodies.

The Calvary and Fifth Avenue Bap-
list churches. after nine months trial
union, nave decided, in kindly spirit,
20 divorce their congregations and wor-
ship separately in future. At least
that is the recommendation made yes
tcrday in the report Of the special COM
mittee, and il is expected to be carried
out By a vote of the congregations.
The report is signed By David C..
Link, chairman OF the Calvary commit
tee. and Edward L. Ballard, chairman
Of the Fifth Avenue committee. II
states that it has been found desirable
for the two churches to separate and
resume their individual services and
activities, but that they do so with
kindliest feeling, each for the other.
The special committee OF reference
and conference announced their de-
cision in the following resolution:
Resolved, that we advise the boards
Of officers of the respective churches Of
this conclusion. and that we recommend
the resumption Of our individual church
services as soon as arrangements can
be made which will conserve the best
interests OF the two bodies which we
represent.
"In offering this resolution and rec
ommenlatiCE we Iesire to give formal
expression 20 our personal regard for
one another and our appreciation Of
the associations which have permitted
our temporary cooperation and prompt
ed our mutual friendship.
'In separating we 90 so in q frater
nal spirit, sincerely wishing one an
other all success and trusting that
nothing will ever mar the cordial rela-
tions existing among us"
Calvary Church has been without
pastor for nearly four years
ever since ;he Rev. Robert s. Mac
Arthur retired. Officers of the Calvary
Church declined TO discuss the future
Of their church yesterday. 1t IS known,
however, that they have practically
searched the country for n man TO take
DR.. MacArthur's place without finding
suitable candidate.
The Fifth Avenue Church. at West
4eth ST., sometimes known as :he Rock
ofellcr church because Of the attend
ance Of John ID. Rockefeller and his
son, John d., jr., who is a trustee, has
been closed since the two congrega-
tions began worshippIng at the Calvary
Church nine months ago.
The incident of the Rev. Bouck
White at the Calvary Church caused a
good deal of anxiety and alarm among
the members of both congregations.
In some circles in the church the fear
of further and more serious disturb
ances, with possible bomb throwing,
took root. IL is not understood, how
ever. that this circumstance had any
thing to do with the committees deci-
sion.
The Rev. Charles +. Aked. of San
Francisco, was pastor Of the Fifth Ave
nue. Church for two years. No date
has been set for the congregational
meeting. but an announcement will be
made next Sunday by DR.. Woelfkin ask
ing the members to vote on The ques-
tion az an early date.
