NEW YORK. Dec. 23.-The United States transport George Washington, which took President Wilson to France and the steamship Cedric ar rived here today, bringing 6O25 men from overseas in time to celebrate Christmas in the Unit States.
 The Cedric from Liverpool with 50 officers and 216S enlisted men, docked first and was accorded a rousing re- ception, but the welcome to the George Washington, which arrived an hour later, from Brest, was perhaps the most enthusiastic the city has yet given a returning transport.
 The big liner had on board 331 of- ficers and 3,461 men, more than of them members of the Cyclone Di- vision" made up of Indiana, Kentucky and West Virginia national guard troops. The George Washington's 96S sick and wounded, contrary to custom. were in possession of their honorable discharge papers when the transport landed They received them last night with cigarettes and candy, at a novel Christmas celebration, arranged by Chaplain P F. BlOomhardL of the George Washington.
 As the men were dozing off Tor their last sleep aboard the transport, the ships quartette entered the sick bay and reused them by singing Christmas carols and Home, Sweet Home" The lights then were flashed on and a member of the crew. attired as Santa Claus, distributed the dis charges, which had been approved by General Pershing before the George Washington left Brest and by the war department by wireless.
 According to Maj. w. H. Unversu, the Indiana men were "keenly disap- pointed" i'll not getting into the fight ing. They were at an American train ing camp for almost a year before they sailed but when the armistice was signed they were all ready for action and expecting daily orders to en train for the front.

ENCDAHL ADMITS NEVER AIDED IN
 PUSHING OF WAR
Socialist Editor Also Admits Printing Pages of Editorial Against It; More Evidence Submitted
Rv Review Leased Nirel

CHICAGO, Dec. 23.-Under cross examination today J. Louis Engdahl, editor of the American Socialist, who with four others is on trial before Judge Landis charged with violating espionage law, admitted that he had never printed a line in the paper which might have aided the govern menf in the successful prosecution of the war.
 He did not deny having printed pages of editorials, statements, speeches and interviews against the war and the selective draft.
 Assistant District Attorney Fleming read extracts from numerous alleged anti-war articles from the files of the paper. One was signed by Victor L.. Berger, another defendant, and en- titled: If This Be Treason, Make the Most Of It."
 Another article offered in evidence was entitled: "The Navy Gives Re- ceipts," and referred to the fact that window service flags for homes of men in the military service of the United States had been issued. It con cluded with the inquiry: How much longer will women continue to swap their husbands and sons for gaudy piece of cardboard?'
 Assistant District Attorney Fleming referred to sections of the St. Louis socialist convention anti-war platform, cartoons on the horrors of war and certain pamphlets which had been printed in the American Socialist and asked: Do you think that the pub lication of these things in your paper after this country had entered the war was calculated to help the government in successfully prosecuting the war;"
 The government attorney asked the witness to answer the question yes or no, but was unable to get a direct response.

IRELAND NOW TO FORE
NUMEROUS APPEALS MADE TO PRESIDENT TO USE HIS INFLU- ENcE TO BRING STATUS OF Is- LAND BEFORE PEACE CONFER ENcE IN PARIS
CContinued from Page one)

LONDON, Dec. 23.-"The Belgian suite" reserved exclusively for royal guests until now, will be occupied by President and Mrs. Wilson during their stay in London. In the years of its interesting history it has had within its walls many crowned heads, one of the latest. but at least men toned at Buckingham palace, being the former German emperor. It was given its name during Queen Vic toria's reign and was always known as the House of the king of the Bel gians, when royalty was entertained here.
 At the request of President Wilson, who evidently found that too much is being crowded into his. short stay in England, the proposed dinner at Lancaster house on Saturday night has been eliminated. This was to have been function only second to the banquet at Buckingham palace Fri day night. Instead of the Lancaster house banquet Premier Lloyd George will entertain the president at dinner Saturday, to meet the war cabinet.
 Those in charge of the details or the arrangements. particularly the of ficials at Buckingham palace, are at times puzzled over the niceties ot etiquette, the result of the unique sit uation that there will be no royal guests at the palace These puzzles however, have been only of mOmen- tary duration, except among some of the aged attendants, who have been casting about for guidance. It is un- derstood that they have been in formed that it will be plain Mir. Will son" and Mrs. Wilson, much to their relief.

Dec. 23.-Steaming home from participation in the blood less allied victory over the German armada, Americas overseas battle fleet-nine superdTeadnaught - with the Pennsylvania, flagship of Admiral Mayo, commander of the navy, as es- cOrt, will arrive off New York harbOr just in time to lead the great peace review by Secretary of the Navy Dan iels Thursday morning.
 Though officers on the staff of Vice Admiral Grant, commander of the home fleet" were unable tonight to state the position of the westward cruising squadron, they announced that the returning warships would not pass the Statue of Liberty before 9 o'clock the morning of the 26th. :"
 Dismissing reports that the veteran fighting craft from European waters might anchor in the harbor Christmas day, reforming the following morning for the naval parade, the vice-ad- miral's assistants declared that in no case would these ships make their ap- pearance in the upper harbor before they had passed the presidential yacht Mayflower, with the nayy's civilian chief on her bridge. It was more likely. they said, that the home coming fleets passage would be timed to reach Ambrose channel in the early hours of Thursday morning, when the vessels would steam up the bay in parade formation, arriving off Liberty island between g and 10 o'clock.
 Owing to delay by storms of the destroyers and smaller craft in the overseas fleet, it was said, only 5000 officers and men, twO-thirds of the complement of Rear-Admiral Rad mans and Rear-Admiral Rodgers bat tleship squadron, will march in the parade.
 This will start immediately after the naval review, probably. shortly after noon, and upon its conclusion shore leaves, affecting in rotation ev- cry officer and man aboard the return ing vessels, will be put into effect.
