NEXT Big BATTLE MAY BE
FOUGHT ON GREEK SOIL
Arbitrary Act
of France is
Protested

WASHINGTON. Dec. 1.-THE Unit
ed States government today cabled
Ambassador Sharp at Paris for pre-
sentatiOn 10 the French foreign Office
a note vigorously protesting against
me removal by the Frencn cruiser
Descartes OF SIX Germans and Aus
trians from the American steamships
Carolina. Coamo and San Juan. Imme-
Clate release OF the men Is asked on
the ground that the seizure OF citi-
zens OF any nation from an American
vessel ON thc nigh seas ls without legal
justification and constitutes nag
rant violation of American rights.
The note was dispatched by Secre-
tary Lansing with the full approval
of President Wilson. II is also under
president with cabinet az today's
meeting.
Couched in friendly terms. the COM
munication states the American point
of view emphatically and cites pre-
cedents employed in the case of
August Piepenbrink. a German. who
was removed from the American shin
Windber by the French cruiser Conde
in November of last year and released
after representations by the United
States.
No Justification.
Attention Is directed 10 the fact that
the men removed from the ships were
not embodied lin the forces Of the en-.
emy" es that term is used in the Dec
laration Of London. II Is asserted.
however. that there is no Justification
for the removal OF subjects OF a nation
which il an enemy OF France from al
American vessel on the high seas
bound to a neutral port. even II they
could properly be regarded as milf
tary persons.
To support this position IL is under
stood that the note points TO the rules
set down by the French minister OF
foreign affairs in note sent during
the Civil war 10 the French minister
to the United States in regard TO tho
removal % the confederate comm
sioners, Mason and Slidell. from the
steamship Trent.
The text OF the American note. which
l. said 20 be brief. probably will be
made public when word OF lis delivery
10 the French office is received by the
state department.

Conspiracy


PROVIDENCE, II. l.. Dec. 14-The
providence Journal prints this morn
ing the text OF an affidavit made by
Johannes Henrykus van Koolbergen in

The affidavit slso declares that
Bopp ordered the money for this work,
$1,000. TO be paid TO Koolberaen. under
the Impression that the work had

ton with koolbergen. who caused
stories TO be inserted i'm the Canadian
papers teliing OF the destruction of
important tunnels by mysterious ac-
Cidents
The affidavit also declares that
George Wilhelm Won Brincken. Bopp

sulatc. worked out all the details of
the plots and that he and Bopp went
over the maps OF the Canadian Pa
cific railway with koolbergen i'm the
consulate and directed where TO blow
up the tunnels where they would in
terfere most with the TRANSPORTATION
OF munitions of war Th~ gffldaVifS

structed To steal the dynamite for
these plans from certain construction
camps on the Canadian Pacific. the
location of which was outlined 10 him
by Bopp and Brincken.

Republican party TO take the offen.

ont regard TO the ancient custom of
allowing the party i'm power to meet
first and announce its candidates and
principles. IL was urged that the party
should not consider a defensive cam

WAsHINGToN. Jan. 13,--What many per-

III Mr. McAdoo has political aspira-

would despise the prospect of reaching his
ambitions on the strength and through the
efforts OF another man. Whatever he has
accomplished in the world has been
through his own resources and abilities.
"He was placed in the Cabinet because
Mr.. Wilson thought him qualified for the
place. He is trying hard to achieve sue
cess in the position not for his own glorifi-
cation but for the good OF the Admins
tratlon as a whole and to give the greatest
benefit to the greatest number OF the peo-
pie. That will continue TO he his policy
should Developments ever bring Mr.,
McAdoo into the field while Mr., Wilson
is in the White House he would insist
upon a distinct understanding that his
fight should be upon his own record and
merits and entirely independent OF any
help he might get from there. although, as
stated. he has no thought at this time oil
