AMERICAN PRESS
WRITER'S GUESTS
OF NORTHCLFFE
Eminent British Newspaper
Man Says Hostility Is
Absent in England

London, Dec. 2S.-Forty American
newspaper correspondents who are
visiting London with President Will
sons party were entertained at lunch
con yesterday by Lord Northcliffe
at the Times office and at dinner last
night by the Newspaper Proprietors'
Association.
The principal speeches delivered at
the luncheon we've by Baron Burn
ham, Richard V. Oulahan. of the New
York Times, David Lawrence, of the
New York Evening Post, Herbert
swope, of the New Yorb World, Ad-
miral Sims, commander of the Amer
lean naval forces, and Rabbi stephen
S. Wise, of New York.
Lord Northcliffe, in welcoming his
guests, said they would find absolute
ly no hostility to the United States
in England. Momentary instances
of irritation had faded away, and in
the same way he was certain some
of the supposed differences about the
coming peace conference would dis
appear in the capable hands the Uni
ted States and Great Britain, had
placed them.
Loru NoTLHCllHe duu'u I""t tLic
American journalists had seen the
kind of welcome President Wilson
had received in London, and that it
was more than remarkable-that 1t
was unprecedented.
Baron Burnham. in extending cord
ial welcome to the guests, made Il
strong plea for the abolition of all
censorship. He said that if there
had been more real freedom of the
press, and II secrets had been more
fully revealed. there would have been
no war.

Clemenceau Expected to Urge
Lifting of Rigid Political
Censorship

Paris, Dec. 2S.-The Socialist Dep
uty Marcel Cachin interpellated the
government in the Chamber of Dep
lties yesterday afternoon, asking Pre-
mier, Clemenceau to state whcther
secret diplomacy would be abandoned
in the peace conference and the dis
cussions given all publicity. The Pre-
mier is expected to reply to-day.
More than 800 deputies were pres
crt in the chamber and the public
galleries were crowded, but the s;oIm
which had been expected did not
break, the government apparently
having the situation well in hand.
Deputy Cachin's reference to the
secret treaties of 1916 and 1917
brought him a ren'ke from Arislide

arrangements NTH Great Brian and

MONACO BLAMES
KAISER FOR WAR
Prince Albert Makes Public
Remarkable Letter Writ
ten to Wilhelm

Paris, Dec. 2S.-Prince Albert of
Monaco has given to The Associated
Press q remarkable letter he has ad-
dressed to William Hohenzollern,
ter promises to rival the notable rev.
onetime German emperor. This let
elations made by Princee Lichnow-
sky. German ambassador at London
at the outbreak of the war and by
DR.. Muehlon, who was O krupp di-
rector.
The letter gives textually many
conversations with the Kaiser on
his war projects and also several let
ters addressed to the Prince as MY
Dear Cousin" and signed Your
highness' devoted friend, cousin and
admirer, William, ]. r."
Close Intimacy Shown
The conversations cover years of
close intimacy during which Prince
Albert was n frequent guest of the
emperor in Berlin and in Kiel. and
at the emperor's summer palace on
the Island of Corfu. The Princes
letter ito his Majesty Wilhelm II"
addresses the German ruler directly
throughout as Sire" 1t recalls their
conversations in which the emperor
expressed his ideas for Germany's
future and then gives the successive
steps in which he yielded to the
military element.
Recalling to the eX-emperor their
conversations, the Prince says:
Il was deeply impressed with the
talk I had with you when we inaug-
urated the Observatory of Leden-
burg. When l condemned the mill
tarizing of people as stunting indi-
vidual development you described
to me the advantages of such q form
of national education outside it's
purely military objects because, as
you said, it relieved men from the
heaviness of their bearing. This was
your conception of the practical end
of a system the application of which
is terrifying the world. To-day in
the path of your armies are strewn
the marks of this education, which
betray your true end or your pro-
found errcr.
Although you said to me one day
that it was not your right to take a
certain action which would have
conserved world peace, yet you told
me on the yacht Meteor on June 2S,
1914, in learning of the assassina-
ton of Archduke Ferdinand, Now
must do everything over again
History will recognize in these
two manifestations of your con.
science the truth of your responsi.

a story-always about some one else.
On the Nevada. Captain William C.
Cole is held in high esteem by his
men. This is the reason, as related
by sailor and corrborated by other:
I'VE were out in the North sea nine
o'clock in the morning when in the
thick fog we ran into a flock of cruis-
ers. We set signals to show who
we We're but those cruisers didn't
answer,
The captain ordered to show our
signals once more and we did, and
when there was no answer he gave
the order: Sound quarters, train all
guns and open fire.
Just then the sailor addeN sadly,
the cruisers signalled that they be-
longed to the British grand fleet. and
the Nevada lost a chance to fight
the whole fleet single handed.
OF the ten thousand officers and
men of the overseas dreadnaught
unit about six thousand are on leave
from two days to a week. The fleet
is expected to remain here until about
January 8.
Whether there shall be a reception
for the destroyers that served i'm for
eign waters rests with Secretary
Daniels. 1t is said that the destroy
ers may not cross the Atlantic in a
unit and may not head for this port,
which is eager to welcome them.
There are said to be fifty-six de-
stroyers on the other side of the ocean
or headed this way. Some are com
ing home by way of the Azores,
others will stop at Bermuda, and still
others will come over the northern
route. The destroyers, it is said, have
been ordered to proceed to their home
ports, and New York is the home
port OF only a rev of the fifty-six.

FEBRUARY VOTE
HANTICTPATED
Belief That the Legislature
Will Then Discuss Pro-
hibition Amendment

The consensus of opinion is that
the next Legislature will vote in
February or March on the prohibi-
ton amendment. There is much
speculation in newspapers as to
what will happen and some editors
look for ratification.
The Pittsburgh Gazette-Times.
which has been reviewing the sit
uaton, says: 80 far the dry pro-
gram has not been definitely agreed
upon. Mr.. Sproul has given the
dry leaders to understand that he
Is ready to go along with any plan
they suggest If they desire to have
the matter called up in the Legisla-
ture before. he retires from the Sem
ate, or if they decide to DELAY the
vote until January 81, WIN he be-
comes Governor, the decision will be
satisfactory to him. In case the
amendment is not considered until
after the Inauguration of the Gov
ernor, and this course is possible.
there is strons likelihood that no
action will be taken until the special
elections are held TO fill the sena-
torial vacancies caused by the pro-
motions of Mr.. Sproul to the execu-
tive chair and Senator f. f. BeidIe-
man of Dauphin to the Lieutenant
Governorship. Their successors
would likely take their seats some
time in February.
THE postponement OF the vote on
the amendment until February quite

will not be one of the first thirty
six states TO ratify. The Legislatures
of thirty-three states convene next
month on dates ranging from the
first to the 20th of January. AS fif-
teen states have ratified, the afiirma-
tive action of twenty-one additional
Legislatures is necessary to make
the amendment part of the Fed
eral constitution.
THE Legislatures. OF ten states
will convene before the Pennsyl-
vania lawmakers come together.
These are Colorado, Idaho, Maine,
Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, New
York, Ohio, Tennessee and Wash
ington. The meeting date in Penn
sylvania is January Z, and on the
same day these Legislatures organ
ize: California, Minnesota, North
Carolina, Oklahoma and Rhode
Island. Prompt action Is expected
in most of these sixteen states. Will
liam j. BRYAN has made the predic-
ton that the amendment will be
ratified by January 20. Affirmative
action in twenty-five of the thirty
three states before the end of Jan
uary would not be the least surpris-
ing.
"A majority of the senator's and
representatives from Western Penn
sylvania will go to Harrisburg
pledged to vote for ratification. At
present the western senator's stand
eleven dry and eight unpledged. OF
the latter class Allegheny county
furnishes five. In the House in this
same territory the drys' have fifty
members, and the unpledged forces
total thirty. Allegheny county is re-
sponsible for twenty of the un-
pledged votes and four more come
