LONDON, Dec. 26.-The official re-
port of the sinking of the famous Brit
ish submarine Ella off the Dardanelles
early in 1918 with the loss Of her COM
mander, Lieut.. Commander Geoffrey
White and all except seven OF the
crew, has Just been published.
The Ella left Mudros on the even
ing of January 81 and proceeded up
the Dardanelles to search for the
Goeben. After diving under subma-
rtne nets, she found that the Goeben
had left a few hours previously, so
Commander White turned back, Keep
ing a sharp lookout for enemy craft.
A torpedo was fired at the ship
which carried the Geeben's ammuni-
tion, causing a heavy explosion which
extinguished the submarines lights
and sprung the fore hatch. Leaking
badly, the submarine rose to the sur
face. The forts Immediately opened
a heavy fire but did not hit her. She
submerged 100 feet and continued on
her course but becoming unsteady,
she was brought to the surface as she
could not longer be relied on under
water. Heavy fire Immediately open
ed on both sides of the straits and
shell hit the hull, destroying the up
per steering gear.
An Ella survivor says:
Orders were given to steer from
below and we ran the gauntlet for
half an hour, only few shots hitting
us. The captain, seeing the escape
was hopeless. ran toward shore his
last words were: We are In Gods
hands, only a few seconds later l
,ookad for him and saw his body,
maueled by she'll fire. roll into the
water and go under. The last shell
hit the starboard side Of our boat kill

The submarine soon afterwards ran
into a sand bank close In shore and
the Turks picked up the survivors.

At least one very important address
may be expected from the President
while he is England. 1t may define his
line of thought more clearly on issues
in which Great Britain is so deeply
interested. He will take opportunity
to do this in the course of conferences
he will hold with Premier Lloyd
George, A. J. Balfour, secretary OF
state for foreign affairs, and Andrew
Bonar Law, chancellor of the ex-
cheQuer But whatever public speech
he will make will be, of course, in ex-
PLANTATION to the English people them
selves, who he believes are in accord
with the principles upon which the
making of peace has been begun.
In his address to the American
troops yesterday President Wilson said
he had found no difference in princi-
pies or Of fundamental purpose. He
expects to return to Paris to continue
the work of the peace conference with
what may be differences of opinion
cleared away or on the way to accom-
mediation.

Sim FEINERS
Win MAJORITY
OF IRISH SEATS
Will Attempt to Convoke Irish
Nationalist Assembly Early
in January.
(By Associated Press)

DUBLIN, Dec. 26.-The Sim Fein
victories over the Nationalists In the
recent parliamentary election exceed
ed the highest hope OF the Sim Fem
ers. 1t is believed that when the final
count is made on December %. the
Sim Feiners will have won majority
of the Irish seats. In fact before the
election they had gained rs seats be-
cause the Nauonalists did not oppose
them.
The Sim Feiners elected will not
take their seats. They will forfeit the
$50 pounds sterling which they had to
post as an election fee and which is
returnable only when a member takes
his oath and his seat.
Their immediate purpose, according
to one Of the most prominent leaders,
is to convoke an Irish Nationalist as
sembly early in January. The assem-
bly, would draft q national constitu
ton for ireland, which would be laid
before conference OF all nations. The
free separation and a republic wholly
independent OF Great Britain are bold
ly claimed by some Sim Feiners.

LONDON, Dec. 26-The mutinous
sailors who have been holding out in
the Red Palace in Berlin have hoisted
the white flag and have been allowed
to leave under guard, according to ad-
vices from Berlin sent by the Ex-
change Telegraph correspondent at

The Alexander and Franzer regi-

gcsted to the government ten days
ago that IL be authorized to organize
sailors guard of 5000 men, the Lokal
Anzeiger says 1t is informed. The sug-
gestion was coupled with demand
for greater increased wa ges and back
pay to November 9. The government,

the proposition.

Nearly 100 persons were killed in
the street fighting which began in
Berlin on Tuesday morning, accord.

Political leaders in Berlin, includ-
ing many who never were identified
with the present government were
disposed to believe that the effort to
halt the government was no longer in
tact as the result of the happenings
OF Thursday. The Independent social
lists hold that Premier Ebert was re-
sponsible for the predicament into
which the government was forced.
They declare that their representa-
tives in the government were not

it may be that the hostile Bolshevik

other reason than that he was an
American.

we'll was consul at Petrograd. Upon
his withdrawal he was assigned with
a rowing commission to various point

ON BOARD PRESIDENT WILL
SONS TRAIN EN- ROUTE TO CA
LAIS, Dec. 26.-President Wilson left
Chaumont for England late yesterday
afternoon feeling more strongly than
ever the magnificent part American
soldiers took in the winning OF the
war. Yesterdays review, In which
ten thousand American soldiers
marched before him, created deep
impression on the President, quite
apart from the historic significance Of
reviewing fighting men on foreign soil
for the first time.
When addressing his troops as Eel
low Countrymen," he told them that
he believed that he could promise
them a happy New Year" This was
considered the key note of the address
and friends about Mr.. Wilson con-
strued his words to mean that he was
beginning to see the way more clearly
toward the attainment of the objec-
tives he has set for himself at the
peace conference.
