 PRESIDENT SAILS
Soldiers at Fort Hamilton Fire
 Unofficial Salute

New York, Dec. An unofficial but no less enthusiastic feature of the farewell to the President was a sa @ lute fired by enlisted men of the coast artillery corps at Fort Hanil ton. Though Captain Scott in com mand, had no authority to order a sa- lute from the heavy cannon, his men
 determined to honor the President, dragged the machine guns to the heights and kept up @ continuous rapid fire while the fleet steamed by. Before the George Washington left Hoboken, Mayor Griffen presented to MT. Wilson an address on behalf of the city from whose piers sailed large part of the American expedi- tionary forces, and where wounded men and advance contingents of troops are being disembarked. He declared the President of all men will best present to the peoples of Europe the ideals for which America fought"
 The prospects were that the George Washington would run into rough weather early in her trip, for the weather bureau issued a warning of storm in this vicinity and ordered storm signals hoisted from Sandy Hook to Nantucket.
 A few miles east of quarantine the presidential fleet met the transport 1 Minnekahda, in bound, with the third contingent of American troops to ! reach this port from English train ing camps. She had 3,039 men aboard.
 Secretary Baker, after the presi- 1 dents departure, visited the Lapland, 1 spending half an hour aboard the 1 transport among the returning sol l diers. He said this was the first yes ] sel he had visited from which soldiers were debarking. Some of the men,
 he said recognized him and made 1 him feel ''yery much at home" by l shouting Hello, Cleveland.'
 To his qkestion as to whether they ] were glad to get back, their reply
 | was unanimous: You bet The George Washing gton sailed with 1 a complement of 5 officers and 1.049 men of the United States navy, with Commander F. M. Perkins, executive H. Peters navigating officer, serving as chief aides to Captain McCauley. A detachment of A marines led by Major David H. Miller, formed guard of honor to the president. Details Of the sailing were in the l hands of Lieut.. J. Lawson, flag off ] cer on the staff of Vice Admiral
 l Gleaves.. chief of the cruiser and transport service.

president farewell joined in the demonstration of welcome for the Lapland.
 Above the river an airplane looped the loop; bands played on the pier of the Lapland and a police boat bore Mayor Hylan and other city officials to greet the soldiers while fire boats shot streams of water high in the air.
 War Veterans Return.
 The Lapland left Liverpool on November 22 and battled with icy gales during most of her voyage.
 Among the men aboard the liner were 30 wounded, Russian army and navy officers on their way to Vladivos- tok, and number of American naval officers. All the rest were members of the aviation corps who have been stationed in England The boys who cannot yet return to America also were represented on the transport by their letters ito the folks back home," 4,254 sacks of soldier mail being brought in.
 President and Mrs. Wilson had breakfast alone in the private dining room which is part of their suite. Later they took a short stroll on the snip Oeck anu were dpplduOSu DS persons assembled on the pier.
 Wilson in High Spirits.
 The president in high spirits, said he was looking forward to the voyage as a rest-indeed the first real rest since he assumed office. He remarked that it might be ''an enforced rest for a few days" Thus acknowledging his reputation for being poor sailor. The George Washington with it's con- voy of war vessels will take the southern route going by way of the Azores in order to avoid the colder temperatures of the northern route.
 An office desk in one room of the presidents suite was piled high with teIegramS and official documents be- fore the transport sailed and indica- tions were that the president would plunge into this work before even the George Washington got out to sea.
 TumuIty Left Behind
 With the transports departure to- day it was disclosed that Secretary Tumulty had been very anxious to ac- company the president but that he sacrificed his desire by yielding to the wishes of the president who believed MT Tumulty's presence was needed in Washington.
 Secret Service Men Busy.
 On the train trip from Washington extraordinary precautions were taken by the secret service. Captain John J. Henry and his entire Washington staff accompanied the president. Mean while two hundred secret service ex- perts had thoroughly examined the George Washington and the loyalty of every officer and seaman on board was absolutely proven. After the president stepped aboard, the ship virtually was sealed, even army off, cers of high rank being barred. George Creel, chairman of the com

FORMER TEACHER IS
 DEAD IN NEW YORK
Miss Lucy c. Angell Was Well Known in This City Where
 She Taught.

Word has been received in this city of the death of Miss Lucy G. AngeH which occurred at her home, Al Lenox Avenue, Oneida, New York, on November 22.
 Miss AngelI was for many years principal of the grammar school and was considered a very superior edu- 'cator. She enjoyed the confidence and esteem not only of her pupils, but of all who were associated with her. Many men and women in New Bri- tain who today occupy positions of great responsibility feel that their success in life is due in some measure to her faithful teachings and her personal influence.
 Miss Angell possessed a strong character and a remarkable person ality and during her residence here was a devoted member of St. Marks church. She is survived by a sister Miss Grace Angel and two nieces Mrs. Walter E, Young of Syracuse and Mrs. Benedict F. Garvin of Oneida, N. Y,

British Naval Commander Heaps
 SCOrn on German Navy

London, Dec. (British Wireless Service )-A scathing denunciation of the personnel of the German navy was made by Admiral Sir David Beatty, commander-in-ch chief of the British Grand Fleet, in a speech addressed to gathering of representatives of the First Battle Cruiser Squadron on board the battle cruiser Lion prior to it's departure for the Scapa Flow as an escort to the surrendered ships of the German high seas fleet
 We had expected them" said Ad- miral Beatty, ito have the courage that we looked for from those whose work lies upon the great waters, and 1 am sure that the sides of this gallant old ship, which have been we'll ham, mered in the past, must have ached as l ached and as you ached to give them another taste of what we had intended for them.
 "Their humiliating end was the proper end for an enemy who has proved himself so lacking in chivalry At sea his strategy, his tactics, and his behavior have been beneath con- tempt and worthy of nation which has waged war in the manner in which the enemy has waged war.
 We know that the British sailor has large heart and 8 short mem- ory Try to harden the heart and lengthen the memory, and remember that the enemy which you are looking after is a despicable beast neither more nor less, He is not worthy the sacrifice of the life of one blueiacket in the Grand Fleet, and that is the one bright spot in the fact that he did not come out''

Basic, Dec. 1.-The Berlin North German Gazette, former German Seml-ohicial organ, publishes an in tervieW with Dr. Von Bethmann- Hou- veg, once inmepial German chancel- Tor, protesting energetically against William Hohenzollern's statement as related by the German journalist, D7.

 Dr. yon Bethmann- -Hol1weg in his protest absolutely denies that this was the object of Emperor Williams S voyage.
