President Wilson

New York, Nov. 25.-From prepa-
rations being made in England for
his reception. it is generally believed
President Wilson will 60 to that
country to stay several days before
continuing to Paris. 1t is known
that several representatives of the
government have preceded him to
England to arrange for his stay
there.
There has been no announcement
as to what the president will use in
making the voyage. 1t was said at
first that he would cross on the
former North German-Lloyd liner
Kaiser Wilhelm, which had a special
suite for the kaiser. When prepara-
tons for the use of this ship were
underway, however, there was a
change of plans and it now is said
he will cross on George Washington.

100 to $50 men with the requisite
number of officers and will be sent
to designated camps to be muster
ed out. 1t is assumed that efforts
will be made in France to put into
each provisional company men from
the same general locality in the Uni:
ted States in order to ease the de-
mobilization transportation problem
on this side.
Secretary Baker, also revealed to-
day that agenerol principle to gov
ern' the payment to be made to
Great Britain for services rendered
by her transport fleet or cargo
craft in transporting or supplying
American forces has been reached.
He said in conference with Lord
Reading, the British ambassador it
had been agreed that payment to be
made by either government to the
other for such service would be
made on the basis that no profit was
to accrue to either Great Britain or
the United States.

are to be decided at hearing which
began in the federal court here to-
day on the Kansas City railway
company's application for an injunc-
ton to prevent interference to an in
crease in car fares.
The ruling, it is said, not only will
affect street car companies through
out the country but also will have a
bearing on various other wage
awards granted by the War Labor
board.
The contention of Kansas City, as
expressed formally by the city coun-
sellor, is that the federal court has
no jurisdiction in fixing rates and
that Me War Labor board cannot
bind the city to increased fares.
The street railway company seeks
to increase its fares from 6 to 5
cents in order to be able to meet the
award of the labor board, increasing
the pay of its employees.

tionalists and many of them sue
ceeded.
The square was cleared of milling
men only when socialists by ones
and twos and in groups broke and
fed, The .scrimmage in the park
then was carried on a smaller scale
into every neighboring street.
Groups of socialists soon were
running along Fifth avenue a hall
mile north and south OF Twenty
sixth street, pursued by shouting
uniformed men, most of them hat
less and coatless.
Take Neckties for Souvenirs.
When they went to the meet
ing the men, almost without excep-
ton, wore red neckties because red
flags were under official ban. These
red ties were the special mark of
soldiers and sailors. After the fight
they were cherished as souvenirs.
Hundreds of the socialists were
beaten, but so far as could be
learned none was seriously hurt.
The police had the situation we'll
in hand half an hour after the close
of the meeting and the street was
cleared except for stragglers.
United States Marshal Mccarthy
and police inspectors were inclined
to blame the uniformed men for the
trouble. They declared the meet
ing would have proceeded peace
fully enough. in spite of the more
or less explosive speeches, had it
not been for the soldiers and sail
ors.
Police Seize Red Flags.
The atmosphere in the Gerden
was tense long before Nearing op-
ened the meeting. Pandemonium
broke loose when the band, after
playing the Star Spangled Banner
and the "Marseillaise" swung into
the international" and Russian
revolutionary song. Shouts of Long
Live the International" were fol-
lowed by booing and kissing, when
the police, Selling red flags sud-
denly displayed, marched their own
ers from the auditorium. Then
minor but simultaneous conflicts
broke out in various parts of the
hall.
All the speakers pleaded with the
audience to remain calm, Nearing
stating that there were persons pres
ent only too eager to "disrupt' the
meeting.
These warnings, however, were
disregarded whenever the red flag
made its appearance.
After Nearing predicted "a bitter
taste of job hunting this winter, and
assailed the "capitalistie press" and
other indications of plutocracy" he
raised a deafening applause when he
said:
During the next 10 days Mr..
Wilson will go to Europe to use his
efforts to make the world safe for
democracy. At least we may ask
Mr.. Wilson to grant a general par
don to all political and class war
prisoners before he sails for
Europe"
Then red flag, bearing in white
letters the words Withdraw allied
troops from Russia" was dropped
from the balcony and after this had
been removed and two more dis
played from another part of the
balcony, marines and sailors, FORM
ing flying wedge, rushed down the
main aisle and past the police up
into the balcony. From the outside
