OLDER IS
 ATTACKED SEQUEL
 HFNSHAW EPISODE
Agreed to Resign If Dingee
 Story Was Not Published.

San Francisco, Nov. 25.-Following an assault last night on Fremont Older, editor of the San Francisco Call and Post, by District Attorney Charles M. Fickert, Chief of Police White today assigned two detectives to guard the editor. The Call recent. ly published long report of alleged crookedness in civil and criminal cases which involved Fickert and others.
 to the Associated Press containing his version of the resignation of F. w. Henshaw from the state supreme court. The Henshaw matter was dealt with in the printed report to Secretary Wilson, signed by J. E. Densmore, director general of em- ployment.
 Mr. Older said:
 "In replying to the revelations in the Densmore report concerning him. self, F. w. Henshaw, said: 'The Fair case was decided twenty years ago. Years after it's decision 1 was re- elected to the supreme bench and served eleven years of the twelve-year term. resigning under no compulsion or agreement with MT. Older or any body else
 "Mr. Hehshaw's memory is at fault. A short time before Henshaw's resig- nation was made public he asked me for an interview. After some repli- minary remarks to the effect that he was innocent, the conservation was interrupted by the arrival of Mrs. Henshaw and the Judge asked me to meet him again at o'clock the next morning. I did so and Henshaw pro- ceeded to the point. He said he was an old man, broke and the publica- tion of the Dingee story would end in tragedy. If you will agree not to publish the Dingee story will re sign from the supreme court, he said. I can give as reason that l want to go into war work as 1 have written a great deal on the subject. In addi- tion to that, I want to help you in the Mooney case
 q was very much moved by Hen shaw's plea, and replied: We'll, Judge, I am getting on toward the end ot life myself, and l haven't any desire to wound anyone unnecessarily and it seems to me if you do as you say that will be sufficient
 "A few days later the resignation was made public"

WILSON WILL BE
 LIONIzED ON HIS
 VISIT I'D LONDON

London, Sunday, Nov. 24.-"Presi- dent Wilson will receive the great est reception we ever gave any guest. No progress any emperor ev- CT made will equal his," says the Ob- server in an article discussing the coming visit of the President to England. It adds: "We rejoice that an event we have SO urgently advo- cated is now assured"
 The newspaper, discussing the ques- tion of the freedom of the seas, says There is profound contrast be. tween America, which is solid con- tinental unit, and the British enn. pire, which is essentially maritime system.
 'The shipping an dthe naval means for guarding it corresponds to the transcontinental railways which link the, United States from ocean to oc- can and to internal police required for guarding them. If this one fundamental diversity between the positions of the two countries and their sources of life is grasped there can be no extreme difficulty ill ad- justing points of view on all mat ters."

VIENNA BUSINESS 1,
 DEM0RAL|zED OVER RETURNING PEACE
Hundreds of Thousands of Working People Thrown Out of Work
 In Austria When War Ends.

Vienna, Wednesday. Nov. 20.-(De- layed )-By the Associated Press Difficulties attending the process of returning to peace footing after a great war are illustrated here. tMu- nition factories have keen shut down, throwing hundreds of thousands of men and women, who have little pros pect of obtaining employment because of the lack of coal. Cold weather has already begun and snow has fallen in Vienna.
 While the streets of the city arc bright and the theatres and opera are open, well dressed people are walking the streets or. using street cars, as cab men demand from two to three dollars a ride. This is all on the surface. There is untold misery in the poorer quarters, with a constant cry for bread, of which there is provided half loaf a week for each person. Prices here are probably the highest to be found i'll Europe and seem fantastic. The price of shirtw aist is $1C0. stock ings cost $5 and a suit of clothes $50 The profiteers are also hit, the in- dustry of weaving paper into ma terial for the manufacture of mems and women's clothing having virtu- ally collapsed: This material, which once sold for $6 yard is now be- ing dumped on the market at any price.
 Vienna is making desperate eforts to get food and coal, which the Czecho- -Slovaks are said to have of fered, provided they are granted the western strip of Old Bohemia ad- joining Old Bavaria. It is also stat ed that propositions have been made by American packing companies. but cable communication is very slow and uncertain. There is need fOl the business people here to open ul their former vacations, but this al i present is impossible.
 It is proposed to ask President Wilson for help in carrying out tho work of adjusting the country to its new life. The correspondent over heard dispute between an Austrian railroad conductor and some Italians The latter asked: "Who was 1t tha' i licked Austrian" The conductor re piled, Wilson did it and he will now 1 help us.'

 come before the congress. Conference Opens Jan. 1. According to information from one quarter negotiations for the signing of preliminaries of peace can not com ! mence before early ill January. The discussion will take about month and half, so that the signing of the protocol would not occur before the end of February. This will necessl- tate renewal of the armistice, which expires on Dec. 17 unless extended be- fore that time.
 | Previous to the January sittings of the congress, however, the inter-al- lied conference will have sessions dur ing December, in which President Will son will take part.
 The signing of a peace protocol coV- ering these essentials and the later development of a lengthy treaty cov- ering all details is in accordance with practice at the time of the conclusion of peace between the United States and Spain. A peace protocol was first signed, after which complete treatf was formulated by peace com mission sitting in Paris. Active pre- parations for the peace congress ar! 1 shown in the reQuisitiOnlng of large number of the most important hotels ' in Paris for the accommodation of the extensive staffs of the British, French American. Italian and other delega- tions
 The Americans have taken the Hotel Crillon facing the Place de la Con- corde and the adjoining extensive of- flee quarters formerly occupied by the American Red Cross. This give' the Americans frontage of nearly an entire block, the opposite of the Ruc Royalc from the ministry of the ma rine.
 l The British have taken the large hotels Majestic and Astoria on the Champs Elysees. The Belgian mission has taken the Hotel Lutetia on the left bank of tho Seine and the Hote1 lJ-ouvre on the Avenue do pOpera also has been requisitioned. In all some 70 of the largest hotels in Paris have been taken, creating great Strlngen- cy in hotel accommodations so that army and navy officers and men arc finding the greatest difficulty insecur- ing quarters.
 Foch Will Not Weaken.
 It is declared that Marshal Foch the allied n-chief haS said he will not heed to protests oi the German armiSticc delegates made through communications from For eign Minister Solf concerning the manner of carrying out the armisticc This reply doubtless will cover an! further representations that may DC made by the Germans.
 The armistice as whole lasts .3' days from the date of signing, Nov. Fl
 with the right of extension and tho right of denunciation on As hours no tice. The evacuation of Alsace-Lor raine must be completed by NOV. 2' and the withdrawal of the German ' troops from the Rhine country desis mated in the armistice is limited tt Dec. 12. A renewal of the armisucc prob 1. ably will carry it beyond the openii'. of the peace congress, when fuiie'
 consideration ca nbe given to itH con :. tinuance.

SUBMARINES PLACE IN WARFARE

Forecasts in the coming peace con- ference indicate that the submarine will be recognized as legitimate in future wars. Its activities, however, are certain to be circumscribed, and their operation against battleships alone will be tolerated.
 While not the originator of the sub marine, yet the brutal ingenuity of Germany was first to introduce this weapon of atrocity in international warfare. Had Germany limited their operations to battleships, or even con traband of war, it is likely different story might have been read to world of the results of the conflict. But this course was not possible. The inherent brutality of the German saw ill the submarine weapon for greater /hor- TOTS than were dreamed to be pos Sible, and no craft was safe which crossed the path fthe wolf of the sea. Even hospital ships were not immune from it's deadly but cowardly torped- oes, and they all looked alike to the Hun ulNess protected by convoys. But that is another story.
 That the submarine has come to stay is indicated by forecasts of the peace deliberations. As long as their activities are limited to the destruct- ion of battleships perhaps this is we'll The powers sec in this weapon a method for effective warfare ill places where it is not possible to place a large fleet. Their service in prosecut- ing an effective blockade is recognized, besides the many other of fices the U-boat may fill in legitimate warfare, therefore, it is a safe predict ion that this weapon of destruction will be retained in the new interna- tional code of warfare to be promul- gated when the plenipotentiaries delib crate.
 How and what means the enforce Ient of the curtailment of such activi- ties will be effected deponent saith not. Should one of the belligerents entertain the same code of ethics O warfare as those entertained by the Gcrmans it is also safe prediction tc say the restriction of the U-boat, linn iting their operations to battleships will prove difficult matter. Veril, Sherman was right

Street car companies Tn several places arc asking for an eight cent fare. A few years ago street railways were asking the cities to put the jit- neys out of business by taxation. To raise the fare to eight cents will in yite the jitneys back in the field of transportation competition, and this time the jitney bus will have the pub lie behind them. Even six cent fares are not popular.
