CBy the International News Seryiee.)
New York, Nov. 11.-LRden with mys-
terry, the steamer Kristianiafjord, Of the
Norwegian American line, reached port
today after an eleven-day voyage from
Bergen. The passengers got their first
inkling OF the mystery when Capt. s. c.
Hiortdahl received the British officials
at Kirkwall, November 3
After 55 sacks Of mail had been taken
on, the Britishers, who seemed to have
received advance information, found a
small. innocent-looking handbag. 1t was
whispered that 1t contained American Sc
curities Of enormous value; that IN some
unexplained way II had left Germany
without escort and had deposited itself
in the most conspicuous place in the bag
gage hold.
More mystery developed when stewards
reported a ghost in the galley on Thurs
day night. Searching parties were or
ganized. but it was not until Friday the
ghost was laid. He proved to be Arnold
Won Tulen, a 27-year-old German surgeon.
He was found in the galley ventilator.
For thirteen days he had rested on a
narrow projection inside the ventiIator
at an altitude OF about 10 feet from the
galley floor. To relieve the monotony
of a. voyage under such circumstances the
surgeon nightly descended to the galley,
where he helped himself to food and
water. In searching the ship at Kirk
wall the British forgot the Ventilator

WILCOX HOPEFUL
Cites Fluctuating California
Returns Last Election.
CBy the International New. Service

(By the International News Servfee.)
New York. Nov. ia chronological
record Of the unofficial count in Cali
'fornia four years ago was made public
today by Chairman Wilcox to justify
the refusal Of the national committee
formally to concede the reelection OF
President Wilson.
This record shows that the exact re-
suit was not known until December 4,
and from election night until that day
there was a constant fluctuation OF votes
between Roosevelt and Wilson.
This record was shown to Mr.. Hughes
before it was given TO the newspapers.
1t is said that it considerably cheered''
the Republican candidate. He had been
urging Chairman Wilcox TO concede the
election.
Chairman Wilcox said:
The record OF California in 1912 shows
that Mr.. Wilson was first in the lead
that subsequently this lead was taken
by Col Roosevelt and that finally the
delegation to the electoral college from
California was divided. two electors
being for Mr.. Wilson and eleven for
Col. Roosevelt
THE results given On California in 1912
show precisely why the Republican Ma
tional Committee cannot at this time
concede the election of Mr.. Wilson and
must await the official count in this and
other States.

being driven back to the main lines,
which, according to Berlin and Sofia dis

of the railway line. These advanced de-
tachments have been thrown back with
great rapidity on an average of more
than ten miles a day. They have burned
number of towns and villages behind
them.
Meanwhile, Field Marshal Won Mack

FOREIGN
POLICY WILL Be
ADOPTED BY U. S.
Series Of Important Confer
ences to Be Held Here
Beginning Wednesday.
TO COVER ENTIRE FIELD
Great Britain. Germany and Mexico
Likely to Be Called to
Account.

A series of the most important councils
Of the Wilson administration affecting
American foreign relations will begin at
the White House next Wednesday. Presi-
dent Wilson and Secretary of State Ian
sing In a number of conferences will
review the entire field of foreign issues,
including those with England which have
been held in allegiance for more than a
year. 1s unofficially outlined yesterday
the subjects to be taken up and the or
der in which they will be considered fol-
low:
With Germany-The Netorted destruc-
tion of British merchantmen without
warning, endangering American lives; the
reported attacks on the Columbia and
the Lanao, American ships, and the
memoranda in the Lusitania case which
has lain on Secretary Lansing's desk
since last February.
Questions to Ask British.
With Great Britain-Unlawful restric-
tons upon American commerce; the black
LIST, interference with American mails, ar
h1trary orders in council limiting Amer
can rights on the high seas and arb
tTary lists of contraband
With Mexico-The situation in Chihua-
hua, which the State Department admits
has not improved. The administration is
pledged not to withdraw the American
forces from Mexico so long as conditions
In that country are such as to constitute
q menace to the American frontier.
Following his discussion with Secre-
tary Lansing and aside from the general
consideration to be given these matters
at the regular Cabinet meetings, Presi-

sultattoD Secretary of War Baker on
questionss relating to Mexico. Secretary
OF the Treasury Mcdoo on questions o.
retaliation against Great Britain for her
war upon American commerce and other
department heads who will be charged
with responsibility for the execution Of
the policies decided upon.
Expect Firmer Policy.
There are many other questions in the
foreign relations field which will be dealt
with soon, but the more important will
take precedence.
Officials in all administration circles
believe there will be more frmness
shown by the President. assured of an
other four years Of office without the
disturbing influences of a national cam
paiSn. They point to certain decIara-
tions in the Democratic platform and as
sert they were either written or ordered
into the platform by the President and
correctly state his attitude

form says:
We hold that it is the duty of the
United states to use its power not only
to make itself safe at home. but also
