BERL IN WAS TO Be
BOMBED THE NIGHT
Of NOVEMBER nth
BUT FOR ARMISTICE AMER
ICAN AIRMEN WOULD
HAVE STRAFED HUN
CAPITAL

New York, Dec. 4.-Berlin was to
have been bombed by squadron OF
eight to twelve super -Handley-Page
and de Haviland-10 airplanes on the
night OF Nov. II, the date of the
signing of the armistice, according
to a number of American aviators
who returned today on the transport
Lapland.
Forty fliers of the new and power
ful aircraft had been preparing for
weeks at Ford Junction, Sussex, on
the English Channel, to attack the
German capital by means of the ma
chimes which never had been used
at the front, but had beeh put to the
severeSt tests. Eighteen of the avi-
ators came home today and the re-
mainder still are in England. All Of
them had been trained in this coun-
try for the particular purpose of at
tacking interior German cities. Each
man had received, it was said 800
hours experiences night filters at
Filing field, in Texas.
According to their story, all plans
had been made for dropping tons
of trinitrotoluol on Berlin. The dis
tance from Ford Junction to the
German capital is about 500 miles.
Each super-Handley-Page machine
had l76 feet of wingSpread and car
hier. beside five machine guns and
a ton OF explosives, a crew OF five
men, two pilots. a navigating Of
ficer and two mechanicians, who al
so were machine gunners.
The de Haviland ISIS were the
latest design of that type OF aircraft.
but smaller than the Handley- Page.
They could carry 1400 pounds of
explosives, three men-a pilot,
bomber and a machine gunner.
These machines, it was stated, be-
ing fastr, were to precede the heavier
aircraft on their mission of destruc-
ton, alongside OF whic hthc bombing

CARTER GLASS SAID
TO HAVE PROFFER OF
TREASURY PORTFOLIO
IS EXPECTED TO ACCEPT OR
REJECT M'ADOO'S JOB BY
WIRELESS TO WILSON

Washington Dec. At is believed
around the capitol that before he
departed for Europe the president
rendered the secretaryship OF the
treasury to Carter Glass.
Mr.. Glass is understood to have
been in conference at the White
House last night. just before the
president started for the train which
was to take him to New York.
An announcement upon the sub
iect was expected during the day
from J. P. Tumulty, secretary to the
president. who accompanied the
presidential party to New York but
did not go on the European trip be-
cause President Wilson felt that he
was needed in Washington.
1t is understood that Mr.. Glass IS
to wireless his acceptance or rejecc-
ton OF McAdoo's job to the presi-
dent aboard ship.
Members of the house said the ap-
pointment had been authorized by
the president before he left the
country and was held up only pend
ing Mr.. Glass acceptance. When
asked for a statement, Representa-
tive Glass said;
AT this moment ! don't find my
self in position. to say whether l
would or would not accept the posi-
ton. ii invited to do so. ! should
rather not say anything on the sub
iect of whether the position has
been offered me.

MAY LAND AT BREST.

Washington, Dec. 4.-Presi-
dent Wilson and his party aboard
the transport George Washing
ton are not expected by officials
here to reach Pari, before late
next week, probably not until SAT-
urday.
No official announcement Of
the destination port has been
been made, but it is understood
the George Washington and her
convoy are going direct to Brest,
France, one Of the Ameri-
can ports of embarkation for the
armies, where Rear Admiral vii
son, commander of the Ameri-
can naval forces in French wat
ers, has his headquarters. Among
the vessels to meet the presi-
dents ship off Brest will be a
squadron OF American destroy
ers to give adequate protection
against the possibility of DRIFT
ing mines or other perils.
The steaming schedule, laid out
by Admiral Mayo, commanding
the George Washington's convoy
is based upon knowledge that TOO
quick passage is not desired.
French officials will be in the
redeemed provinces Of Alsace-
Lorraine during the middle of
next week for a great celebra-
tion there, and they want the
presidents arrival so timed that
all OF the government heads viii
be at the capital

Paris, Dec. 4.-The ten American
dreadnaughts which will escort

that the men will arrive at home

The operation will constitute one

be possible to coal and provision the

three or four days.

ON BR|TA|N'S DEMAND
FOR W|LHELM'S TRIAL
ALSO SAYS GOVERNMENT
WILL DISCOVER GER
MANY'S PAYING CA
PACITY.

London, Dec 4-Speaking at
Bootle last night, Andrew Bonar
Law, chancellor OF the exchequer,
confirmed the statement that the
British government had decided to
press the allies as strongly as pos
sibe to the end that the surrender
of former Emperor William should
be demanded. and that he should
stand his trial.
The chancellor announced also
that the government had appointed
a committee to examine Scientifical-
~ into the question OF how much
the enemy would be able opay. The
government would propose such
procedure to the allies and he be-
lieved it would be adopted. An in
tcr-allied committee would then in
quire into the whole question and
decide what amount was obtalnable
Steps would then be taken TO secure
its payment.
As Col. +. NJ. House, the Ameri-
can representative, was unable to at
tend the allied conference in London
yesterday and today on account OF
illness, Mr.. Bonar Law added, it
was impossible that "A decision could
be reached on any point. He there

In the absence of the American
and certain other allied representa-
tives. it is understood the inter-al-

Four separate conferences were
held today, one OF the main purpos-
es being to secure the endorsement
bv the representatives of the domin-
ion of the conclusions reached at

George presided at all meetings.
1t is understood that a general
agreement was reached on the mat
ters deliberated upon, but out OF

will be necessary to acquaint Pres
jdent Wilson in detail with the dis
