leans Will Greet Men as
Valiant Victors.

Washington, Dec. 24.-Confidence
that the American people will greet
the officers and men of the return

and congratulations and as valiant
victors," was expressed by Secretary
Daniels tonight on the eve of his
departure for New York to review
the homecoming naval units.
The American dreadnaughts
though denied the opportunity of
winning a great sea victory, did
more, said the secretary, for they
co-operated in receiving the sur
render OF the entire German fleet.
Secretary Daniels and many gov
ernment and diplomatic officials will
leave Washington tomorrow alter
noon for New York. The presiden-
tial yacht Mayflower, from which the
naval secretary and his party will re-

Royal Welcome Accorded Christmas Eve Liner With Cargo
Of Enthusiastic American Doughboys Eager to Set Foot
On Soil of Native Land for Yuetide Festivities

New York, Dec. 24.-In a cold
driving rain that in no way dampen-
ed their ardor, 1866 American
troops came into port today aboard
the big French liner France, Christ
mas eve ship of the fleet of trans
port that is bringing back the
American expeditionary forces.
As the ship steamed up the river
the men crowded the deck and rig
ging and sang Home, Sweet Home"
Dixie" Hail, Hail, the Gangs All
Here" and answered their reception
from ashore with more enthusiasm
than has been displayed heretofore
of any transport. They seemed
thoroughly to appreciate their good
fortune in getting back to American
soil the day before Christmas.
The returning troops included

1904 wounded men from nearly
every state in the union, their in
juries ranging from bullet wounds
in arms and legs to shell shock and
cases which will require months OF
treatment.
There was in waiting at the dock
a military band and delegations
from the canteen service of the
American Red Cross. The enthu
siasm and home for Christmas
spirit that was displayed during the
trip up the harbor was more than
doubled as the ship rounded into her
berth.
The appearance of the Red Cross
flag, the uniformed members of
the Salvation army ard other relief
organizations on the dock brought
forth great outburst Of cheers
from the happy soldiers.

FOR CHRISTMAS
With SOLDIERS
Will Eat Dinner from Mess
Kit Then Review Troops
at Front; Later Will
Visit Pershing.

Paris, Dec. 24.-(By the Associat-
ed Press)-President Wilson left
Paris tonight for a weeks trip,
Which will take him to American
army headquarters at Chaumont and
to England. He was accompanied
by Mrs. Wilson, Rear Admiral
Grayson and small party. The
president is travelling by military
train and will reach Chaumont
Christmas morning.
On Christmas the president will
spend twelve hours in the Chaumont
region, where he will take Christmas
dinner with the men at their mess
and review 10000 Americn soldiers.
Later he will inspect the billets in
several of the villages, and, return
ing to Chaumont will be the guest Of
General Pershing and his staff.
Leaves for England.
The president will leave American
headquarters at 6 o'clock Wednes-
day evening for Calais and on
Thursday morning will embark on a
warship for England. As far as is
known here there will be no further
changes in the presidents program
i'll England unless the British gov
ernment suggests them.
American officials here are deeply
interested in the reception which
will be accorded the president by the
British people, especially in the Man.
chester industrial district. The
president himself looks forward with
high expectations to review of the
troops on his visit to England.
With his return to Paris from
England on New Years the presi-
dent hopes the most necessary pre-
liminary organization work of the
American commission will be COM
pleted. The business of beginning
to make peace may get under way
if by then the other governments
concerned have named their dele
gates. Official notification of the
appointment of the various dele
gates is belived will come within
ten days, although it is realized
that the British delegates may not
be chosen until the elections are en-
tirely out of the way.
Meeting May Be Delayed.
The coming of German delegates
is still in an indefinite stage, while
the question of Russian representa-
ton has gone no further than some
internal discussions between the
American commissioners and prom
inent Russians here. Doubts are be-
ing expressed by some diplomatists
that the conference actually can be-
gin work the first week of January
as expected. Some OF them are in
clined to think that the first meet
ing might not be held until Feb
ruary.
President Wilson's last official
engagement was with the Belgian
minister of foreign affairs tonight.

Cologne Paper Speaks Bitter.
Iy of Sordid Acts of U-
Boat Crews at Time
of Surrender.

London. Dec. 24.-(British Wire
less. )-Commenting on the handing
over to the British of the German
submarine U-9 by the German crew
who seized this opportunity to re-
turn 800 marks per man paid by Ger
many as compensation for taking
the boats to England, the Cologne
Volks Zeitung says:
Even when the astounding his
tory of the Russian rubles given to
the German peoples deputies, was
related, we had patience. We had
indeed still one consolation
Through this night of universal
misfortune the splendor of our
armies fame glistened with friendly
radiance never to disappear so long
as men walked on earth.
Shall we now be robbed OF this
consolation in the solitude and 81
lence of our misery? Is it possible
in Germany that even RED" sailors
could have sold for 500 marks.
"A British admiral Beatty re-
nounces the handing over of u
boat which as victor he wishes, with
noble gesture, to bestow upon the
vanquished, as one is accustomed
to leave his sword to the brave
commander of conquered fort
ress. Revolutionaries in German
naval uniform prefer, we are told
500 marks. These dishonorable men
venture again to tread German soil
with their wages of sin.
"Can it really be true? Many a
tear would flow in the German faith
erland. So, everything is lost, in
cluding honor. We could not then
sink lower in the estimation of the
WOrld-it is impossible"

demand satisfaction at the hands of
Senior Andre.
Senior Mendieta challenged Andre
as the direct outcome of letter ad-
dressed to him by Andre, in which
the food administrator accused the
editor OF cowardice in connection
with the revolution OF February
1917.
Should the tribunal decide in favor
of Mendieta. a duel is believed to be
inevitable. Andre is considered one
of the finest swordsmen in Cuba.
Andre and Mendieta fought duel

form and in fine spirits, esteemed
by all those with whom they have
been associated in the war and
trusted wherever they go, and they
will also, | am sure be cheered by
the knowledge of :he fact that
throughout the great nations with
which we have been associated i'll
this war public opinion strongly
sustains all proposals for just and
lasting peace and close co-opera
ton of the self-governing peoples
of the world in making that peace
secure after its present settle
mentS are formulated. Nothing
could constitute a more acceptable
Christmas reinsurance than the
sentiments which | find every
where prevalent"
Message From Pershing.
Messages also were exchanged be-
tween the American armies in
France and the forces at home, Cen
eral Pershing sending a message to

greetings and best wishes for the
coming years from the American
