lNGroN, Dec. G, 10 A. M,-President
Wilson read to-day from the wireless
dispatches Winston Spencer Church
HIS renewed declaration for British
naval supremacy. The President
evinced great interest in the bulletin
but did not comment on it.
1t Is apparent that this subject is
nppermost in Mr.. Wilson's mind and
he is expected TO express himself on
1t soon after reaching France in a
public address or in conferences with
the Entente statesmen preceding the
sessions OF the peace congress.
The President slept late to-day, but
after breakfast he again was hard at
work on his accumulated correspond
ence.
The George Washington is running
into warmer waters now that the yes
sci Is approaching the Azores. The
weather Is variable to-day, but mostly
! fair.
I President Wilson was in wireless
communication to-day with Admiral
Mayo on board the battleship Pennsyl-
vania. which Is conveying the George

The George Washington probably
will make the trip to the United States
with wounded while the President is
in attendance upon the peace confer
ence.
! 1t is probable that President VIII
con will go to Italy after he has Wis
tied France and England.

to New York to see the President OF

got back to his desk to-day in time to
handle the first of the instructions.
II is understood that all the wireless

of Carter Glass as Secretary OF the
Treasury 1t has not been necessary

George returned to London to-day
from his speaking tour and took
charge OF the railroad situation. He
conferred with Sir Albert II, Stanley
president OF the Board Of Trade. after
which Sir Albert received representa-

the Premier's attitude.
The result OF the Premier's media
ton soon developed when word was
sent from the conference that a be-
ginning had been made by granting
the locomotive men an eight hour day.
The settlement includes Ireland and
becomes operative February /. Other
conditions remain unchanged while

flucnCe OF the British Government AZ

expulsion and exclusion of all enemy
aliens from British soil, the Premier
pointed out that n considerable pro-
portion of enemy residents in the
United Kingdom during the war had
abused British hospitality and thus
had forfeited their claims to remain.
The Kaiser must be prosecuted"
said the Premier. The war was a
crime-a fr1ghtful, terrible crime. II
was a crime IN the way in which it
was planned and in the deliberate wan
tonness with which II was provoked.
1t was also a crime in the invasion %

and most brutal treatment of that Ii

TT is estimated that 10000 cases
of discrepancy as TO the wounded may
be accounted for as follows:
Ten thousand men seriously
wounded and reported by cable are
being checked up because OF discrep-
ancies in initials or enlistment num-
bers and 100000 men less seriously
wounded, including many slight cas-
ualties, are still TO be drawn from the
hospital records, which have been for
warded by courier from France.
One Name in Twenty Places.
These records are not Alphabetical
and work upon them is necessarily
slow, as the same name usually ap-
pears more than once. A single name
appears in twenty different places.
The work upon these hospital reports
was seriously impeded by the infiu-
enza epidemic, but Is now going for
ward steadily. 1t is probable that in
a majority OF these cases the records
will show that the soldier has been
restored TO duty after a relatively
short stay in the hospital.
THE foregoing statement does not
cover all the discrepancies, as will be
seen, but in dealing with so great a
number OF cases II may be assumed
that the remainder are in process OF
checking, either in the central records
office in France or In the office of the
Adjutant- General in Washington and
that reports as TO all identihable cas-
ualties will be reported within a few
days"

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-The Entente
Allies have intercepted dispatches
nassing between william Hohenzol-
'ern and Field Marshal Won Hinden-
burg's aides in the Germany army,
according to information reaching dip
lomatic circles here. The purport OF
may be weeks or months before code
experts decipher them. But the fact
seems established that the ex-Kaiser
is endeavoring TO maintain secretly
control Of the German armies for fu-
ture emergencies.
The officers OF the German armies
from Hindenburg down have sworn
allegiance to the Kaiser and not to
the German nation. These officers, II
is pointed out here. are all the crea-
lures of the Kaiser. chosen by him
and appointed by him, and SO far as
known here they never have retracted
their VOWS Of allegiance. The fact
that their supreme leader is within
easy reach, even though on neutral
soil. adds materially TO the possibility
OF his exercising an effective though
secret control in Germany.
Messages Also Intercepted Here.
Coincident with the reports that the
Kaiser was secretly in touch with the
war lords comes the news that signifi-
cant messages have been intercepted
on this continent which have been
sent out by the German diplomats in
Mexico City to other Latin American
capitals. The tenor OF these messages
is In the nature OF an encouragement
TO German interests and German Arms
10 have patience, keep up their prop
aganda untiringly and confidently
await the final outcome.
These messages are sent by crea-
lures of the Kaiser and men who re-
gard the present form OF government
In Germany as simply a sort OF inter
national hoax to obtain easy peace
terms and deceive the enemy.
Officials OF the State Department
here are unable 10 explain why the

DEMPSEY HAS EARNED
PRAISE OF FIGHT FANS
By H. c. HAMILTON

Omitted Press STAFF Correspondent
NEW YORK. Aug 13.-Doubtless
there viii be miles and miles OF printed
praise heaped on the broad and strong
young shoulders of Jack Dempsey. the
California demon who downed Fred
Fulton recently in record time at Harri-
son. y. J.. but there can be no doubt
that every bit OF It will have been
earned by the brilliant c%onquercr of the
almost equally brilliant Fulton.
Dempsey's performance compares ia
vorably with the mighty smack with
which Tommy Burns caressed the Aus
tralian brow of Australia Bull Squires
when that worthy undertook to show
US Americans how she IS done IN Aus
traIia. It is reminiscent OF the time
when Gus Rubin thought he was good
enough TO beat Tom Sharkey. and al
most turned a double 5omersault from

Rickenbacker reflected q moment and
