Huns Conspired to Start War.

London, Nov. 21.-Publication of of
fetal reports from the Bavarian min
lister at Berlin to his home govern
ment confirm evidence already in the
hands of the entente that Germany
and Austria conspired to bring about
the war
1t was for this reason the terms of
Austria's ultimatum TO Serbia were
made so drastic that hoStilitieS were
bound to follow.
These revelations have been pub
lished in Munich after permission had
been asked by the Bavarian premier
and foreign minister of the German
federal government. They are in the
form Of report sent to Munich on
July IS. 1914, by Count Lerchenfeld
she Bavarian minister at Berlin.
According to the report the deliv-
cry of the ultimatum to Serbia was
delayed until after President Poincare
and NJ. Viviani, premier of France, had
gone to st. Petersburg, which would
make it difficult for the entente ma
tons to arrive at an understanding
and take counter measures.

WILSON WILL Be
AWAY SIX Weeks
Expects TO Remain in Europe
at Least a Month.

Washington, Nov. 21.-AbOut one
month is the time President Wilson
expects TO be in Europe for the open
ing of the peace conference and pre-
iminary discussion.
No definite limit has been fixed but
it was said authorltatively that the
president plans to be back on Ameri-
can soil within six weeks after his
ship sails for the other side.
1t became known also that the 1tal-
ian ambassador, Count di Cailere, as
we'll as Ambassador JusSerand of
France and the American peace dele
cation, will cross on the ship with the
president.
Preparations for the presidents trip
are going forward rapidly at the
White House, though they still are
surrounded with secrecy, and no one
processes to know either when the
start will be made or just who will
make up the party. An announcement
by the president himself of the person
mel of the peace delegation is expect
ed in day or two.
Among many messages received
from England, France and Italy urg-
ing Mr.. Wilson not to let unfavorable
criticisms interfere with his plans is
understood to be one from Lord North
cliffe, apparently suggesting that all
objections should be disregarded be-
cause the presidents presence is es-
sential
1t was said that there was no foun-
dation whatever for talk of censor
ship over news of the peace confer
ence, and that American newspaper
correspondents would be given all IA
cilties possible for transmitting their
dispatches.
