MANCHESTER PAPER
URGES QUICK ACTION

Manchester. Dec. 31.-(By A. PD.-
Commenting on President Wilson's visit
and urging the necessity of the assemb-
ling of the Peace Conference without
further delay the Guardian today says:
while we are talking and demon
strating, others are acting and by no
means acting in sense favorable to
the translation Of the ideal into the
practical and the establishment OF a
rule Of justice and good will among the
nations Of the earth.
Italy IL creating accomplished facts
on the eastern shore of the Adriatic:
powerful party Is forming in France
which, not content with the recovery OF
Alsace and Lorraine and the happy
healing of that historic sore, threatens
to create a fresh sore by annexation be-
yond It's borders. In Belgium, claims
are being infuentially asserted, not only
to Luxembourg. but to sundry portions of
Dutch territory on her nortnern and
eastern border. Poland Is threatening
and perhaps actually has occupied
Danzig, German city with a mere
sprinkling Of Poles, and thus to cut Off
East Prussia from West Prussia, and
apparently she designs TO pursue her
enterprise by occupying purely German
territory. farther west and south"
The Guardian concludes:
"Now this Is obviously not exactly
conformable to either the spirit or the
letter OF President Wilson's terms, but
is an attempt to forestall the decisions
Of the conference when 1t meets and
must tend gravely TO hamper its work"

LONDON PRESS UNEASY
OYER FRENCH VIEWS

London. Dec. 31.-(By A. P.)-Morn-
ing newspapers give great and equal
prominence to the speech of Premier
Ciemenceau before the French Chamber
of Deputies and President Wilson's ad-
dress at Manchester. BY their head
lines and by placing in juxtaposition
the striking passages and by their COM
ment the newspapers reveal a certain
uneasiness in consequence of the APP
parent divergence between NJ. Clemen-
Ceau and Mr.. Wilson.
There is an obvious endeavor. how
ever, to avoid anything suggesting the
existence of n substantial DISAGREEMENT
or promoting anxiety regarding the con-
ference. Their desire seems mainly
TO show that NJ. Clemenceaus stand
point is not so remote from Mr. Wilson's
as might appear at first sight, and that
any differences that exist ought to be
arranged with pains and patience. NJ
Clemenceau's version of Mr.. Wilson's
comment on the British fleet receives
much prominence.
The Chronicle says: president Will
sons speech at Manchester brought out
what perhaps are the essential points
in league of nations-namely COM
mon devotion to right, that II must be
worldwide and including ali and that
II must have continuing machinery"
!ndorsing and emphasizing these
points, the paper thinks the Peace Con-
ference should be regarded as the first
session OF body which will reconvene
from time to time in perpetuty Thus
1t would, the newspaper says, itself be-
come automatically a league, for unless
1t does so it's work will ultimately be
torn up by fresh wars"

The order of the War Department, II

functions OF the port Office and virtu'
ally closes all overseas freight shipping
from this port by the quartermaster

although officers of the quartermaster

until the steamer left her pier. They
smiled and waved farewalls to those
on shore, while the band played the
"Star Spangled Banner"
On their arrival on the platform of
the station, when the train reached
here from London, a guard OF honor,
consisting of a company of royal
fusiliers and bluejackets from the
Dover patrol, was lined UP to greet
the party. The President was re-
ceived by Commander Boyle. secretary
to Vice Admiral Sir Roger Keyes,
Admiral Keyes being indisposed and
unable to attend in person.
Others in the receiving party were
Rear Admiral Cecil f. Dampier Major
General j. Colin Mackenzie and the
Marquess of Camden. They accom-
panied the presidential party to the
pier, where President Wilson shook
hands all around and expressed his
appreciation for the arrangements
made for his reception.

As the Brighton passed out of the
harbor of Dover her naval escort took
positions on either side, accompanying
her to midChannel, where French de-
stroyers took over the task.
AS the President was leaving Eng
land he telegraphed King George
message, expressing deep appreCia-
ton of his entertainment in this coun-
try and wishing the English people a
happy new year.
The President returns to France,
members of the party indicate, feeling
that great progress has been made
toward the achievement of his peace
ideals. On the trip to Dover Premier
Clemenceau's speech was discussed
among the Americans. No expression,
however, was forthcoming to give any
clue as to President Wilson's feeling
regarding it.
President Wilson arrived in London
at 7:15 last night and Immediately
went to Buckingham Palace. He was
cheered by large numbers of persons
who were proceeding homeward from
business. Otherwise there was no
demonstration, as the time of the
arrival Of the presidential special train
was not known to the public.
The farewell dinner given in the
state dining room at Buckingham Pal.
ace by King George and Queen Mary
in honor, of President Wilson and Mrs.
Wilson was a private function. There
was no procession into the dining room
and no speeches or toasts. The Grena

Envoy Says 1t Ranks With Ameri-
can Independence Day

December 2S, 1918. is proclaimed as
1reland's independence day in a state
ment issued here today by Patrick Nc
Cartan, eNvoy of the provisional govern
ment OF Ireland.
Mr.. McCartan declares that the day
when the results of the election in the
British Isles became known will for
ever rank in the history of ireland as
July 4, 1916, ranks in the history of
America as July a. 1888, ranks In the
history OF France, as the day of the
birth of liberty ranks In the history of
every free people"
Regarding the result of the election,
he said ,-,
ireland was occupied by an English
army; the Irish republican leaders were
incarcerated in English jails; our meet
ings were proclaimed and our press ef-
fectively silenced the first director
whom we appointed to conduct the re,
publican election campaign was arrested
and his headquarters raided; the same
fate overlook in turn each one who sue
ceeded him and, In brief, every device
which imperial ingenuity could conceive
was used to prevent the free expression
Of the electoral will Nevertheless, when
the result was revealed on December 2S
II was unequivocally demonstrated that
the people OF Ireland had determined
that Britain shall not continue to govern
Ireland, and that the population OF Ire
land, by more than two-thirds majority.
had finally severed such connection or

canery had maintained for seven CEN

open twenty-four hours a day with ten
trained secretaries in charge.
The welcome home clubs formed all
over the city will act in conjunction
with the Y. M. c. A. and will steer en-
listed men to its doors. 1t is also hoped
to establish n bus line TO the Navy Yard,

there at night may be brought to the
armory for lectures or recreation and
then returned safely to the gates of the
naval station before their leave has ex-
pired. ...
A corollary to the helpful part of the
"Y" work will be a check up on those
men who are using their uniforms to
graft" free entertainment, money and
food from citizens. Every effort will be
made to stamp out this practice, which is
severely condemned by the great bulk Of
the men as dlsgraclng both them and
the uniform they wear.
