 EXAMINED MENTALLY

NEW YORK, Dec. 14-Physicians at Bellvue hospital will decide as to the mental condition of Ellis o. Jones, journalist and writer of humor, whose name was attached to the "proclama- tion" of the peoples pay committee" |" circulated Thursday, saying bolshevik- ism would break forth in the United States at noon yesterday. A police magistrate today sent Jones to the hospital for mental examination, after he had been arraigned in court on a charge of disorderly conduct in con- nection with his appearance in Central park yesterday, to address a few as- sembled sympathiZers. Jones' procla- nation, distributed on the east side, caused mobilization of police in the park, where the proclamation said a bolsheviki demonstration would take place.
 The original charge against Jones was that he uttered seditious remarks, the police asserting he spoke to re- porters advocating disbandment of the nations military and naval forces. It transpired today that the change to a charge of disorderly conduct was made at. the instance of the district attor- ney's office.
 A. l. Rorke, an assistant prosecutor, said in recommending Jones' mental examination that he had received a telegram from the chief of police of Columbus, Ohio, saying Jones had been driven from that city because of an article, with which he had been asso- ciated in writing, in reference to the l assassination of President Mckinley.

Where Was the Fleet?

WASHINGTON, Dec 14-York Rtv Q CT, described by Secretary Daniels as the worlds greatest deposit for battle. ships" was the home port of that part of the Atlantic fleet which missed the chance of war service in foreign waters.
 Where is the fleet?" a question ot- ten asked during the war, was an- swered today by Secretary Daniels. Ex- cept those units sent abroad, battle ships and other craft, under comman: of Vice Admiral Albert w. Grant, anch- ored right where Admiral Rocham. beau's French fleet took it's stand ana cut off relief by sea for General Corn wallis. From the anchorage of the ships, Admiral Grants men could sac the shores of Yorktown where Corn wallis surrendered.
 While stationed at this ancient naval base, the ships passed back and forth through Chesapeake Bay to sea. but under the voluntary censorship, no ref erence ever was published as to the To- cation. It was all routine for the voy- age to New York of ten or twelve bat tleshlps for the homecoming of the fleet rom Europe will be a welcome change Liberal Christmas leave will be granted 10 these and all others in the navy.
 Protected from the danger of subma- r1ne attack by nets across the mouth or York river, officers and men put in many months of very efficient work. MT. Daniels said. In many instances 1,400 men were crowded on ships whose normal complements were 500, and good work under these conditions. he added, was one of the big accomplish uent of the navy

PARIS WARNAS TO U. s. PRESIDENT
Sign Your Name Pay One Dollar
 To Be 4 M ember No Solicitation

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-ln- structions were sent tonight from American Red Cross headquarters here to thousands of chapter workers throughout the country, that registration for the member ship campaign beginning Monday must be purely voluntary. Not one of the millions of men and women who are expected to en- roll or renew memberships will be urged to do so. Compliance with these instructions, the orqaniza- ton announced, will mean that no persuasion has been necessary to swell the Red Cross membership in the campaign to continue through the week.
 One of the principal reasons for placing the registration on a vol untary basis is that each person is expected to sign the roll but once and pay one dollar, which is all that is asked.

U-CAPTA|N SAYS HE TRIED ID SAVE THE
 VICTIMS 0F JONES
Diver Officer Said To Have
 Been Without Peer-Ex- pected Soon To Surrender Whereabouts Unknown

LONDON, Wednesday, Nov. 27- Correspondence of the Associated Press. Ut was the U-53, commanded by Lieutenant Hans Rose, the German undersea boat which sank a number of vessels off the coast of Nantucket, that sent to the bottom the United State torpedoboat destroyer Jacob Jones, the first American warship to be sunk by the enemy in the great war. Word has come directly to London that Rose claims he sent a wireless call for help when he saw that the Amer ican destroyer was doomed. That statement has not been corroborated, but if it is true, it is the only case on record where a German submarine commandtr called for help for his vic- tim. Rose also claims to have sunk the United States coast guard cutter Tampa, and if that he true, he has the distinction of sinking all the American fighting craft sunk by torpedo during the war.
 Captain Without Peer
 American and British naval officers here consider Captain Rose and his boat without peer in the submarine branch of the German navy. Roses work was daring and spectacular, but devoid of unnecessary brutality, and his submersible's career did not result in surrender with the scores of other U-boats, but with internment in a Swedish port at the direction of Rose
 After the U-53 dashed into Newport and then played havoc with shipping off the American coast, every anti submarine commander in the British navy tried to get Rose. This armada was augmented when America entered the war. During the latter part of the war there were two boats that became the center of interest on the anti-sub- marine craft-the use and the U-53- but for very different reasons.
 U-86 Sunk Hospital Ship The use had sunk the hospital shin Llandovy Castle when it was impossi- ble to mistake her type. Every sailor wanted revenge In chasing Rose however, there was more of the desire to beat a willy and dangerous adver- sary, but against whom there was nc known stain of committing atrocities On October 20, when the U-boats were recalled, Rose went to the Catte- gat- The story brought to London which there is no reason to doubt, is that Rose chose to take his ship tc Kiel, after the revolution there, anG place her in charge of Captain vor l Schneider. Rose went to Kiel ant ascertained that if he took the U-5; 1 there she would be surrendered, so he sent word to Captain won Schneider tc take her to a Swedish port and interr | her.
 | The admiralty as yet is not aware O, the port in which she is interned, bur sooner or later she will be turned ovel to the allied navies-not in the forma humiliating surrender, however, tha- Rose wished to escape.

SOCIALIST DEFINED
 J. $. PROGRAM ONE
 0F KILL, KILL, KILL

CHICAGO, Dec. 14-Articles printed in the American Socialist, in opposi- ton to the war and to the draft law, were read to the jury by District At torney c. F. Clyne at today's session of the socialist trial before Judge Landis.
 One of these entitled "The killing program" from the American Socialist of May 19, 1917, defined the govern ment program as:
 Kill free speech; kill the free press: kill the right of free assembly; kill all good labor legislation; kill the right to strike; kill humane teaching; kill the Ten Commandments; kill all who re- fuse to kill"
 Close attention to the articles read to the jury, was paid by the five de- fendants, Victor L. Berger, Adolph Germer, J. Louis Engdahl, William F. Kruse and Irwin St. John Tucker.
 John P. Ferris of Milwaukee, for merly in the service of the bureau of intelligence of the department of jus tice, testified to having called at Vic tor Berger's office in Milwaukee MT. Berger told MT. IzZard, the chief of the bureau, and myself, that he was responsible for everything which appeared in the Milwaukee Leader, his paper, news and editorials and advertising" said Ferris. He was not cross examined
 War for Wall Street
 There was noticeable smaller num- l Der of spectators in the court room and it was observed that while the l documentary evidence was being read into the record, several of the women who have been constant attendants ai the trial, knitted, while others read | books or newspapers.
 | Portions of an address made by Adolph Germer at Rockford June IT 1917, were read by Thomas A. Stone a court reporter, who took down the speech as it was delivered
 One paragraph read by the witness was:
 "This war is not to make the world safe for democracy, nor to make Ger many democratic, but is only in tho interest of intuition makers and Wal street Under the guise of fighting tht kaiser's military machine, there will b, built up here a military machine whicf will make the kaiser's look like { piker."
 Other excerpts of the Germer ad dress were read to the jury by coun sel for the defendants, one extrac which he emphasized being, You cal not force democracy on any people It is expected that the governmen will complete, its presentation of evi dence by the middle-of next week.
