Surrender of
German Fleet
Is Imminent
Battleships and Cruisers
Were to Have Left Home
Ports Yesterday

LONDON, Nov. ia great German
fleet consisting of ten battleships, five
battle-cruisers and six light cruisers
was to leave Germany this morning to
surrender TO the Allied navy. The sur
render was to take place in accordance
with the terms Of the armistice I'M
posed by the Allies.
In addition to the foregoing units the
whole of the submarine flotilla and
fifty destroyers also arc to be handed
over by Germany. The surrender of
all the naval units included in the
armstice terms is expected to be COM
pleted by the end of this week.
According to H. w. Wilson, naval
writer, in "The Daily Mail" the Ger
man surface warships probably will
be sent to Scarpa Flow, great narbor
in the Orkneys.
Ht NEIundll Hts, Which oIt1

will be intcrned at Portsmouth, Plym-
outh, Dover or Harwich, it is thought
Final Instructions Given
Final instructions on the procedure
whereby the feet was to be surren-
dered were given the German delegates
on the cruiser Konigsberg when they
left the Firth Of Forth Saturday night
The instructions presented by Sir
David Beatty, commander in chief of
the British navy included the methods
of surrender and the routes to be
taken by the German warships.
"The Times" naval correspondent,
writing on the subject of the submis-
sion of the German feet, says;
"The surrender in accordance with
the armistice conditions will be made
to force in which the navies of
France and America, as we'll as our
own, are represented. In its outward
signs the business cannot fail to be
impressive.
"The appearance of the long lines of
vessels to be surrendered, carrying re-
duced crews and no armament the
method Of their transferrence to the
Allied escorts, the exchange of flags
on the German ships when that hap
pens and the striking of the colors
which have replaced the imperial en-
CT tho ancient tnGan of o1
will be among the more interesting
features of the manifestation.
Another Significance
There is another significance which
attaches to this act of submission, for
it represents the non-fulflment Of
one of the principal purposes for which
the German navy was created-to pro-
tect Germany's sea trade and colonies.
"The war has come to an end and
Germany has lost her colonies and her
trade. She now loses the best part of
her effective naval force.
"On the other hand the British fleet
is still adequate and is not only as
strong as it was before the war, but
absolutely and relatively stronger than
ever"
A Berlin telegram received in AM
sterdam gives this list of the vessels
to be handed over:

Will Take Part in dis
cussion and Settle
ment of Main Feat
ures of Treaty"
Probably Will Go
On u. S. Battleship
Executive to Sail for
France After Con-
gress Reconvenes
in December

WASHINGTON, Nov. IS (By The
Associated Press President Will
son will attend the opening sessions
of the peace conference. This was
announced tonight officially. He will
go Immediately after the conven;ng
of the regular session of Congress
on December 2.
The official statement from the
White House follows:
''The President expects to sail for
France Immediately after the open
ing of the regular session of Con-
gress, for the purpose of taking
part in the discussion and settle
ment of the main features of the
treaty of peace
ut is not likely that it will be
possible for him to remain through
out the sessions of the formal
peace conference, but his presence
at the outset is necessary in order
to obviate the manifest disadvant-
ages Of discussion by cable in de-
termining the greater outlines of
the final treaty, about which he
must necessarily be consulted.
"He will, of course, be accom-
panied by delegates who will sit as
the representatives of the United
States throughout the conference.
The names of the delegates will
be presently announced"
May Visit Four Capitals
How long the President will re-
main abroad he himself probably
cannot now say. The time for con-
vening the peace conference has
not yet been announced, but the
general belief here is that it can
not be assembled before late in
December, at the earliest If such
proves the case the President will
be absent from the country for at
least a month and probably longer.
What plans the President may
have for his trip other than to at
tend the opening of the peace con
ference and to participate IN the
discussions among the representa-
tives of the associated nations which
will precede it have not been re-
vealed. He undoubtedly will be
accompanied by Mrs Wilson, and it
is expected here that besides visit
ing Paris, where the peace congress
probably will be held, he will go to
London and possibly to Brussels ard
Rome.
To Set Two Precedents
Mr.. Wilson is expected to receive
abroad reception such as has been
accorded but few men in public life.
He will be welcomed not only as the
President Of the United States, and
the commander in chief Of its army
and navy, but also as the champion
Of world democracy.
In visiting Europe the President
will establish two precedents. He
will be the first Chief Executive of
the United States to participate in a
peace conference for the settling of
issues growing ont of war in
which this country participated, and
likewise he will be the first Prcsi-
dent to leave North America during
his term of Office.
IN reaching his decision to attend
the peace conference President Wilson
Is understood to have been largely in
auenced by representations from Pre-
miers Lloyd George of England and
Clemenceau of France and other
statesmen of the Entente countries

For the fourth time in as many wears, bombmen have done damage to property in the so called l ierce street section of the town of Westerly. A loud explosion was heard at l o'clock on Monday morning that aroused many from their peaceful slumbers and awakened all sorts of notions as to what might have oc- cured in these perilous war times. No report came to the police from any person in that section, but the louo report incident to the explosion was enough to start an investigation by the police. They soon located the cause of the unusual disturbance.
 Some person or persons, at present tta the police unknown, had ignited a dynamite bomb on the steps leading to the entrance of a small house owned by George Joseph Bookataub and To- cated in the rear of the Bookataub b store and residence in Pleasant street. The bomb, or whatever the internal thing may have been, tore away the steps, tore the door from the hinges and smashed every pane of glass in the structure. Large rails were thrown against the Bookataub residence, 40 feet distant, and the windows in that house were smashed.
 The house selected for destruction is occupied by Michael Rebecco. his wife and five children and all escaped injury, although Mrs. Rebecco and the baby ssutained a severe shock. Mir. Rebecco and family moved from Bradford to Westerly last January. He is employed in the Stonington shipyard MT Rebecco could give no clue to the police. as he did not know that he had an enemy.

Playing a dual role, Mary Pickford
will be seer in a new Aircraft picture
at the Orpheum theatre, Sunday and
Monday. Miss Pickford plays the
title role of "Stella Maris," in a film
version of William j. Locke's cele-
brated novel, and also interprets the
part of Unity Blake, an uncouth char
acter who is introduced as an in
mate of an orphan asylum. AS Stella
Maris, a paralytic heiress, surrounded
by every luxury wealth can command,
and protected from even the slightest
knowledge of worldly things, the COM
parison with Unity Blake presents a
startling contrast. Later, when Stella
Maris has her health restored and
learns of the poverty, misery and
crime existing in the world which her
imagination had pictured as adyllic
it proves so strong a shock that her
life is threatened.
Through an amazing chain of cir
cumstances the two girls-the Ugly
Duckling and the delicate and beauti-
full Stella Maris-love the same man,
and then comes a supreme sacrifice,
the giving of Unity Blake's life for
the man she loves and for Stella
Maris.
The portrayal of two characters SO
vastly different by Mary Pickford will
probably stand as a wonderful achieve
