ROYAL Y |S. COMING ID. PAY VISIT
Kings and Rulers Will Re
 turn Wilson Call States men Urged To Brush Up On Courtesy-Head Of No Foreign Nation Ever
 Received In This Country
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

NEW YORK, Dec. 7-The United States government will have as it's guests, in the near future, President Poincaire of France, King George of England, King Albert of Belgium, King Victor Emanuel of Italy and the heads of any other nations President Will son may visit during his visit to Eu- rope, Stephane Lauzanne, editor of the Paris Matin, declared today, just be- fore he sailed for France. M. LauZanne has been in the United States several months on an official mission.
 ''It has been a diplomatic custom from time immemorial," M. Lauzanne said. that the head of one govern ent who entertains the head of an other, invariably repays the visit
 While no official announcement of plans has been made, M. LauZanne de- clared it was certain President Poin- caire would come to the United States within the next year, as his term of office expires in 1920. No official an nouncement of plans will be made, he added, until President Wilson has ar rived in France and visited the capi- tals of the various nations.
 United States statesmen probably will have to brush up on precedents and formalities for state occasions MT. Lauzanne added, as the United States never has received the heads of a foreign government with the ex- ception of King K llakaua of the Sand Wich Islands.

ASQU|TH ALSO ASKS
 JUSTICE FUR KAISER
Republican A. p. Leased wire1


 LONDON, Dec. 7.-CBritish wireless service)-Herbert H. Asquith, the for mer prime minister, speaking at Roch- dale, Lancashire, today, ranged himself alongside those who have declared that the men responsible for the war and the atrocities shall receive adequate punishment.
 ''We ought to insist that justice be done" declared MT. Asquith, "and that not only the forms, but the spirit of justice-the meting out to the wrong doer of his due, not less and not more should be scrupulously observed"
 Referring to the significance of the visit of President Wilson to Europe, Mir. Asquith said, that for permanent purposes the world was a new one. These purposes, he contended, would not only not have been achieved, but there would have been TO advance to- ward their achievement, unless, before the president returned, a league of na- tions had begun to be translated from formula into fact
 In his judgment the best security against the dangers which beset the coming conference was the main tenance in it's fullest and freest sense, of real understanding between the all lies and the United States.
 "There are all kinds of hints and suggestions to upset and confuse us" Asquith continued. We are warned of the growth, rapid and unprece- dented, of the United States, of the vast development of their mercantile marine, and of possible American eco- homie penetration of Siberia and east Russia. It should be clearly under stood that league of nations does not mean the cessation of industrial and mercantile rivalry"

Republican A. p. Leased Wire1


 WASHINGTON, Dec. Charles M. Schwab, director general Of the Emergency Fleet corporation, who laid aside his own shipbuilding plans, eight months ago, to help build ships for the government, received word by wireless from President Wilson to- night that his resignation had been accepted
 It had been understood here for some time that MT. Schwab was anx- ious to be relieved of the office, so that he could again take up extensive interests he relinquished when asked to become the directing force of the country's wartime shipbuilding pro- gram, although it was not known that his resignation was placed in the hands of the president before the lat ter's departure Wednesday for Eu- rope.
 MT .Schwab was not in Washington tonight, but it was stated that he would retire and that Charles Piez vice president and general manager of the Emergency Fleet corporation, would carry on the work exactly as heretofore.
 President Wilson, in accepting the director generals resignation, in a I1cSSdSt S6ul lO tie w ulle UOuSc from the transport George Washing ton, with instructions that it be con- veyed to MT. Schwab, said:
 T accept your resignation only be- cause you wish it, and because I feel I must do so. in fairness to you. You have been exceedingly generous in giving your services and they have been invaluable. Want to thank you very cordially, indeed, for all that you have done. Shall always remember, as I am sure your associates in the government will, a service of unusual value and distinction.'
 Bainbridge Colby, vice president of the United States shipping board who has been closely associated with the director general, said tonight that MT. Schwab had rendered service of the greatest value and had contributed precisely what was expected of him

DECLINES PART IN T0M MOONEY
 INVESTIGATION

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 7.-
 William Denman, former chairman
 of the United States shipping
 board, today declined appointment
 by Secretary of Labor Wilson as
 special representative of that de-
 partment in county grand jury
 investigation of alleged irreguIari-
 ties, charged in a report published
 here over the signature of John B.
 Densmore, dealing with the case of
 Thomas J. Mooney.
 Densmores report charged rregu- larities in connection with the trials of Mooney, his wife, Rena Mooney, and others indicted for murder as a result Of bomb explosion here July g, 191o, in which ten persons were killed. Ii was presented to Secretary Wilson, as whose behest Densmore said he made the investigation.
 MT. Denman, in a formal statement to the Associated Press. said he de- clined the appointment because ht lacked experience in criminal law and procedure" and because of the want of the criminal investigators O. prosecutors temperament" The state ment follows:
 q have no personal familiarity with any of the facts involved in MT. Dens- mores report or of the conditions oi the district attorneys office, or the Mooney case. The first intimatior that my name was under consideration came yesterday through the press.
 After careful consideration of the position I am asked to accept, 1 fee that my lack of experience in crim- inal law and procedure and want ol the criminal investigator or prose cutors temperament, make it improper that I should take it. My high per sonal regard for Secretary WilsoT adds to my disappointment in declin ing to assume a responsibility in ( matter of such serious importance tC the state, as is set forth in MT. Dens mores reports"

HEAVY WEATHER. DELAYS WILSON
 DUE IN bREST
 ABOUT FRIDAY
George Washington Pro ceeds Slowly-Mile Be- hind Pennsylvania stroyers Constantly Awash Paris Sunday-Confer ence Tuesday

ON BOARD THE U. s. s. GEORGE WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.-(By wireless to the Associated Press)-At the pres ent rate of speed President Wilson will not land at Brest before Friday. He rrobably will reach Paris Sunday. His conferences with the French statesmen are expected to begin promptly Tues day, after an exchange of official visits. It was expected that the Azores would be passed tomorrow, but the George Washington and her convoy of war ships are blowing through one squall after another, which are heavy for the southern course. AS a consequence, the Azores will not be reached before Tuesday.
 Pennsylvania Mile Ahead
 The Pennsylvania is steaming more than a mile ahead of the presidents ship. The destroyers which make up the remainder of the convoy often are hidden from sight in the valleys be- tween the great rollers which are washing them so frequently that the crews scarcely can cling to the decks
 The George Washington, however, is keeping a comparatively steady course in the heavy sea, and none of the off cial party has been seasick thus far The president took a constitutional on deck after his mornings work, after which he again took part in a boat drill and then retired to his suite for a nap.

 SAVED THE WORLD
Lloyd George Says England
 Was Ready For Any Risk Fifth Time Navy Has Safeguarded Ere dom
rRepublican A. p. Leased Wire1

LEEDS, Eng, Dec. IT shall never forget that morning when l sent cable message to President Wilson, telling him what the facts were, and how essential it was, that We should get American help at the speediest possible rate, and inviting him to send I20 GOO infantry and machine gunners to Europe" said Premier Lloyd George in the course of a speech to 5000 per
 "Tbe following day" continued the premier. "there came a cablegram from President Wilson:
 "'Send your ships across and we will send the 120,00o mem
 "Then I invited Sir Joseph Mckay, the shipping controller, to Downing street and said: Send every ship you can.'
 "They were all engaged in essential trades. because we were cut down right to the bone. There was nothing that was not essential. We said: This is the time for taking risks
 We ran risks with our food, and we ran risks with essential raw ma teriaIs. We said: The thing to do is to get these men across at all hazards
 America sent 1,900,000 men across, and ont of that number 100000 were carried by the British mercantile ma rine. The good old ships of Britain have saved the liberty of the world many times. They saved it in the days of Queen Elizabeth; saved 1t in the days of Louis XIV; saved 1t ln the days of Napoleon, and have saved It in the days of Kaiser Wilhelm H.
 Tt is a change from December, 1916; a change from the days when at the end of the year, we made our balance sheet and found Germany had acquired more allied territory than she had before; that a new ally had fal- len. and that another allay was tot tering to the fall, and that Germany was advancing ruthlessly along from conquest to conquest
 "That was the story up to the end of December, 1916.
 What is the story today? Every German submarine is in British port today.
 "The best battleships and cruisers and torpedo boats of Germany are now with lowered flags, under surveil lance of British seamen, in British harbors.
 And the British army which has fought so gallantly-which has fought with a heroism which the world has never matched that army, after months of fighting and Of suffering is today, at this hour, marching across the Rhine into Germany, and into one 1 of the most famous cities of Germany.

BURLESON RAPS
 L|PSNEROF AERO
 MAIL SERVICE

WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.-Postmaster General Burleson wrote Captain Benja- min Lipsner today, in accepting his resignation as superintendent of the Aerial Mail service, that charges made public by him in leaving the office were, from beginning to end, a tissue of misstatements upon matters Of which you should have been fully con- versant"
 Captain Lipsner was quoted last night as saying he resigned because he had been informed that novices were to be placed in charge of important branches of the service, and that spe- cial aeroplanes are to be built for car rying mail.
 "The statement that the postoffice department has considered or author ized extensive alterations on military airplanes, which the war department is turning over to it, has no foundation, except in your imagination" MT. Burle- son said in his letter to Captain Lips ner. Except for the application of skis to the running gear of planes. to facilitate landing in snow, as recom- mended by you, and for experimental modification of three de Haviland planes, to decreas1 landing speed, and nlQOr u1OUlllCdIlOnS lO ldClHIdtc lQ0Q- ing of mail, nothiAg has been author ized.
 Rebuke Is Scathing
 So far from ordering new construc- ton, the letter adds, Assistant Post master General Prager refused to au- thorize the construction of a fleet ot twin motored mail planes, recon mended by Captain Lipsner. His asser- tion that novices are to be employed il the service, MT. Burleson said, '1is on par with the other statements, since the two new officials appointed are av. iators, which you are not"
 In connection with Captain LipsnerI. retirement, MT. Burleson announced the creation of two departments for the air mail service, one headed by Lieu tenant J. Clark Edgerton, as chief O. flying operations. and the other by Dr L. T. Bussler, as chief of maintenanc, and equipment. Both have been in tn, army and postal service, and take LII the duties heretofore performed b, Captain Lipsner, who was ordered tt deliver his records to the postmaste, at Elizabeth, New Jersey.

BISBEE, Dec. 7.-That Arizona's output of copper for 1918 will ex- ceed that of 1917, the previous high record, by one hundred and nine teen million pounds is the state ment made by Joseph E. Curry, secretary of the Arizona chapter of the American Mining congress, in his annual report. Mir. Curry's figures, based upon carefully gath cred and segregated figures, show this years output to be 819,0oo,0 900 pounds as against 700,000,o0o for last year.

QUESTION PALMER'S
 AUTHORITY ID SELL

NEW YORK, Dec. 7.-The charge that A. Mitchell Palmer, exceeded his authority as alien property custodian, in siezing the Botany Worsted mills of Passaic, New Jersey, and Stoehr and Sons, Inc, of New York, was made by Louis Marshall, counsel for the com panies stockholders, in federal court here today. His argument was on a writ of prohibition to restrain Mir Palmer from selling 24,900 of the 36, 900 shares of the Botany company's cap ital stock.
 The writ wac obtained by Max W. Stoehr. stockholder in both compan- ies, in behalf of all the stockholders. Judge John c. Knox reserved decision.
 Mr. Marshall Sontended' that under the amendment of last March, to the trading with the enemy act, the power of the alien property custodian had been abridged, to permit selling of only perishable properly, and thus prevent useless waste. Under this amendment he declared the custodian is directed to hold all other property, until directed as to it's disposition by act of congress.
 Nr. Palmer had advertised for sale the assets of the company, placed by MT. Marshall at $25,000000, and the stock. The sale was deferred because of the issuance of the writ
 Government counsel in reply charged that the plaintiff had not come into court with clean hands, as changes made in the firm of Stoehr and Sons, six weeks before the United States de- clared war, were made to keep control Of the firm for the benefit of the Ger man members of the Stoehr family. The plaintiffs, he declared, owned less than one-tenth of one per cent in the Stoehr property.
 He contended that MT. Palmer had every authority to sell the property in- volved, as it had been seized by express executive order of President Wilson as
 captured property owned by enemy aliens or those closely connected with them.

MAN[ESS JOBS FUR
 JOb[ESS MEN b|G
 NATIONAL PROBLEM

NEW WORK, Dec, 7-Unem ployment is the greatest danger confronting the United States during the next four months, the labor reconstruction con- ference of the academy of political sc;- ence was told at its meeting here today by Nathan A. Smyth. assistant direc- tor general of the United States en- ployment service. Thousands of sol diers are being discharged daily. he said, at the beginning of, winter. when outdoor jobs are few; war time plants are being closed because of army can- cellations of contracts and manufac- turers are hesitant in employing more labor because of uncertainties of tax ation, high prices of materials ana "timidity'' of credit.
 Eventually, MT. Smyth said, the prob lem of placing Americas soldiers and war workers will be solved through an abnormally high emigration of Euro peans to their native lands. the proba- bility that immigration will continue to be slight. and especially by cooper ation of American agencies in connect ing jobless men with manless jobs. He warned the members of the conference, however, that these agencies could only enable men to find open jobs. and could not create work.
 Turning Up Broke"
 Soldiers are being discharged by the thousands daily, on the basis of mill tary units. with no reference to wheth- CT or cot they are now needed in indus try" said MT. Smyth. They are being mustered out on a few days notice and given in money the cost of transporta- tion to their homes, free to buy tickets wherever they please. Already they are turning up in the cities improvi- dent, broke away from home. without work, applicants for civilian relief. Many others are unwilling to undertake 1 the day labor jobs which alone they can find. There is every prospect tna, unless remedial measures are promptly taken, the sight of stranded workless moneyless soldiers will be common throughout the land
 ''The great danger in the coming four months is that there will not be jobs enough to go around; that unemploy- ment will come with attendant misery and social unrest at a time when an archistic tendencies are contagious.
 Up to Manufacturer
 "The remedy of building public works is not available on a large scale until spring. The farms will not cal urgently for men until frost thaws out 1 Chiefly must we look to our manufac. turers to carry the burden. But tnel are hesitant. Taxes are not yet deter mined. The cost of money is high ant credit timid for a while. The primes O raw material and labor are high. Tn, producer hopes they will fall. and man ifests a tendency to wait till they do To meet each of these deterrent fea lures is an immediate national task" MT. Smyth urged that the manufac turer "get his wheels moving with tn ] TlfrnOst speefj oven if ffere he a rernn>, chance of lower costs"
