LONDON FEARS HUN PLOT TO
 TRICK ALLIES
Ccontinued from Page D

The Daily Express sees the possi- bility of a plot to trick the Allies and create a federation far exceeding ill strength and resources of the former German Empire. This newspaper contends that the former emperor is back of Chancellor Ebert, former Chancellor Maximilian of Baden and Field Marshal von Hindenburg, and it lays emphasis upon the fact that the emperor signed no formal abdi- cation and issued no valedictory mess age.
 A number of leading allied diplo- mats and statesmen, including kord Robert Cecil, under secretary of state for foreign affairs, believe something is brewing in Germany in the direc- ton of a plot to trap the Allies, the Express declares. The facts appea! to indicate, it adds, the existence of 8 ] plan to foment social revolutions ir Holland and Switzerland and possibly in Sweden through pro-German agita- tors. It Is also desired, according to these indications, the newspaper declares, to foment social revolution i in allied countries, provide for the eventual return of the former em | peror to Germany, the restoration O the old regime and the formation O a greatly extended German Fedora ton:
 Such a Federation, with William Hohenzellern at the head. the Elk press argues, would carry the seed o another world war. It insists tha the former emperor must be seizet and his activities prevented.

Mrs. Wilson undoubtedly will accompany him and his immediate party prob ably will include Joseph P. Tumulty, his private secretary; Rear Admiral Cary T. Grayson, his personal physi- clan and military and naval aides. The Presidents ship will be escort ed into French port by French war craft and possibly also by vessels of the British and Italian navies. Troops to be assigned as the guard of honor for the President in France probably will consist of units from each of the Allied armies.
 The meeting between President Wilson and President Poincare will be the first between the chief execu- tives of the two greatest republics and 1t will be the first time that a President of this country has visited a foreign capital. Before returning home MT. Wilson probably will go to London and Brussels and possibly Rome. He also may make a pilgrim age to some of the battle-fields of | France.
 President Wilson's purpose in go- ing to France in advance of the meeting of the peace congress Is un- l derstood to be to discuss with the | Allied premiers at Versailles the pro gram to be laid down for the guid- ance of the peace delegates wher they meet. It has been suggested that MT. Wilson probably will be in. vited to preside at the opening session of the peace conference.

DRAFT BOARDS TO
 QUIT JANUARY l

It is estimated that by January 1, the Draft Boards will have gone oul of existence. Some boards are now busi1y working arranging and classi- flying the registrants, and this will probably consume about two weeks The clerical work at the boards is also now being rushed to a conclusion Sd that General Crowder at Washington may complete his reports to the gov ernment by January 1.
 There is a probability that the clerks employed at the boards may be needed in government bureaus to help with the reconstruction work How ever, this would require their ser vices at Washington, and many of the clerks are rather anxious to return to their own occupations in their own localities.

ANNIVERSARY OF LINCOLN'S
 GETTYSBURG ADDRESS

As long as the English language en- dures the memorable address delfv- cred by Abraham Lincoln at Gettys- burg 55 years ago today will be treas ured as one of the most impressive Vtterances that ever issued from hu- man lips In public schools through out the United States the Speech will be repeated today in commemoHation of the great event
 Soon after the terrible battle of Get tysburg the government determined ito set apart the battlefield for a na- tional soldiers cemetery. On Nov. 19, 1863 the field, which then contained the graves of 3.5SO Union soldiers, was dedicated by President Lincoln. The speech was hurriedly prepared while the president was on his way to Get tysburg to deliver 1t. It was earnest, lDnest, vigorous, with no striving for oratorioal effect. It was pure gold, refined in the furnace of war. It was a message, not for one nation nor One century, but fer all time and all hu- manity. And now that the greatest struggle for freedom that the world has ever seen has been brought to a triumphant end, the words of Lincoln are well worth repeating. for, although they were written over half a century ago each sentence has it's bearing on the present moment.
 "Fourscore and seven years ago" Lincoln began, "our fathers brought forth upon this continent a new na- tion conceived In liberty, and dedi- lcated to the proposition that all men are created equal, Now we are en- gagged in a great civil war, testing that nation, or any other
 whether that nation, or any othe, nation, so conceived and so dedicated can long endure. We are met on g great battlefield of that war. We are met to dedicate a portion of it as the final resting place of those who here gave their lives that that natior might live. It IS altogether fitting and proper that we should do this but, in the larger sense, we canno dedicate, we cannot consecrate.. w cannot hallow this ground. The bravt men, Hving and dead, who struggled here have consecrated it far above ou power to add or detract The worlC will little note nor long remembe what we say here, but it can neve froget what they did here. It is fo us, the living, rather to be dedicate, here to the unfinishei work that the, have thus far so nobly carried on. is rather for us to be here dedicate 'to the great task remaining befor us---that from those honored dead " take increased devotion to the caus for which they gave their last ful measure of devotion that we her highly resolve that the dead shall no have died in vain---that the natio shall, under God, have a new birth C freedom, and that government of tn people. by the people, for the peopI. shall not perish from the earth"
