In the building at my desk, having
finished some Red Cross duties which
devolve upon me as secretary of the
Peking chapter. I can assure you
that there are a great many things
to be attended to in connection with
the routine OF the chapter. This
chapter, as are the others in China,
are trying to supply the needs of the
men in Siberia which, in our minds
out here. seems but a day or so off
while from you 1t is a matter of
weeks and months. Our Chapter has
other connections with the Siberian

doctors and nurses from Peking is
serving with the forces. 1t has been
found advisable to make wooden gar
ments that can be knitted rather than
on whole host of bandages which
may never be used because of the
over abundance of the supply.

Italian commandant to attend a spe-

If earthly kings can demand and re-
ceive such devotion and sacrifice for
the cause of justice. The King of
Kings should certainly be able some
day to call forth like devotion to
the cause of justice. the King of

scenes of sacrifice as shown by the
men who were waging the great con-
f1ict on that front came home quite
vividly. l heard a man say yester-
day in my room. after the war, this
place out here will be swamped with
men who want to get a real job

informal Discussion on Prob.

ference Said to Be
Satisfactory.

London, Dec. 2.-President VIII
sons conferences today with Brit
Ish statesmen are described in
American quarters as having been
very satisfactory. The president
spent more than three hours before
Premier Lloyd Georges luncheon i'll
most intimate conversation with the
premier and Foreign Secretary Bal
four at Buckingham palace, going
over the general aspects of the IA
points of his peace program.
No one particular phase was
taken up, but the whole discussion
was a general one. No official an
nouncements we're made of the re-
suits of the conference, and after
ward the president continued the
discussions with the British states
men at the luncheon in Downing
street, and later resumed them at
Buckingham palace.
1t was learned that a great deal
of progress was made i'll making
clear some phases OF the presidents
points which are uppermost in the
minds of the British, principally as
regards the question of British
naval supremacy.
An Informal Conference.
At Buckingham palace, before the
luncheon, President Wilson, Lloyd
George and Foreign Secretary Bal
sur met in one of the rooms of the
presidents suite before a cheerful,
open fire, with no secretaries or
documents to lend any air of formal
ity to the discussion. 1t was an en-
tirely informal conference intended
to develop the most intimate aspects
of the situation.
The president did a great deal of
the talking and it was said after
ward that nothing developed to
show that any substantial difference
in principle or in fundamentals ex-
isted.
The discussion ranged about the
freedom of the seas, the league of
nations and the attendant PROPOSE
tion of the reduction of ornaments.
None Of these three subjects was
discussed specifically or by itself,
as they are considered inseparable
In the final analysis, so the first
purpose of the conference was to

whose galantry we have admired,

You have now come to help in

our young women, they seem very
far from dreaming of making war. "
Prince Albert then relates nu-
merous conversations when the
Russian emperor proposed an inter-
national court at The Hague.
You disclosed to me one day your
real thoughts upon this noble move
ment in remarking to me with a
smile that you were happy to parti-
cipate in the cars conferences, but
did so because appointing as your
delegates the most vigorous German
generals"
Prince Albert's letter continues:
Il recall also that when | asked
your support for the first interna-
tional marine congress you referred
me to Admiral Won Tirpitz, for
whom the soul of the sailor will
never have any respect"
Crown Princes Attitude.
The prince gives a conversation
with the German crown prince as
showing his attitude toward the
Hague tribunal. Talking with the
crown prince at his Kreuth resi-
dence in Bavaria, I complimented
you on offering to settle the Casa
Blanca affair before the Hague
tribunal. The heir to the imperial
throne answered that the chancel-
lor had made mistake in accepting
that arrangement, because said
the crown prince, the French are
right in that affair. but a powerful
state should never avoid war even
when it is in the wrong, under PEN
atty of losing its prestige
In another talk with Emperor
William the prince says the emperor
remarked that he held the Russian
car in his hands. In this connec-
ton Prince Albert writes:
I'm the series of crimes, for which
Germany must bear responsibility,
there is one which will revolt hui
for all time. Nicholas II |
was incapable Of lying or betraying
his allies. He wished to perform
his duties, not agreeing with your
wishes, although you told me you
held him in your hands. Nicholas
eluded your suggestions, but was as

Yes. but we must hurry or else il

understanding their true interests
and trying to group themselves in
joint protection against the yellow
races. Even this year President
Wilson and England have used dip
lomatic language. They understand
also that there is nothing else to do
with Germany than to accept her as
she is. ,"
After thus quoting the emperor S
language, Prince Albert adds:
you afterward talked at length
to convince me you had no bad
sentiment toward France or anyone.
and you remarked to me that you
might have fallen upon Russia when
she was ruined by her war with ia
pan and upon France when 100000
French soldiers were in hospitals.
When | answered you that Frances
pacific intentions were shown by the
tendency to reduce her military fore
es. you had nothing more to say"
The prince then relates a sensa-
tional conversation in which the
emperor, pointing to British
squadron visiting KEEL, foresaw the
coming war.
"The transformation of your men
tally became evident to me in June,
1914, when upon the deck of the
Hohenzollern at Kiel you said to me
with irritation as you saw the Eng
lish squadron come to salute you:
