CONFERS WITH LEADERS
FIVE HOURS OF CONFERENCES WITH LLOYD GEORGE AND BAL. FOUR; PAPERS FILLED WITH PRAISES OF AMERICAN EXEcU- TIVE; UNVEILS PORTRAIT

LONDON, Dec. 27.-Tne environ ment of President Wilson's second day in England was quieter than that Of the first day. The only ceremonial event was a state banquet in Buck ingham palace tonight, which was notable not only as a spectacle such as probably no other court in Europe can provide setting for, now that the thrones of Russia, Germany and Aus tria have disappeared. but from the representative character of the men summoned to greet the president.
 Gathering Of Notables.
 Besides the members of the royal family, the official world was repre- senteG by the foreign ambassadors to the court of St. James, the heads of the government, present and past chiefs of the army and navy, colonial officials and members of the royal household. There also were presenS dignitaries of the Church of England, representatives of universities and men high in the worlds of literature, art and journalism.
 President Wilson escorted Queen Mary into the banquet hall, while King George gave his arm to Mrs. Wilson.
 Chiefly Working Day.
 Today. however, was chiefly a work ing day with the president. Five hours. were taken up by two confer ences with David Lloyd George, the British prime minister, and Arthur J. Balfour, foreign secretary, on peace problems. This was the fulfillment of the main purpose of the presidents pilgrimage to London.
 For thre hours in the morning Pres ident Wilson sat with MT. Lloyd George and the foreign secretary be- fore the open fireplace in the presi- dents apartment in Buckingham pal ace. The second meeting was in the cabinet room of the premier's resi- dence in Downing street. The two sessions were broken by a luncheon at which Mir. Lloyd George gathered a dozen leading British statesmen of the conservative, liberal and labor parties.
 Unveils Washington's Portrait.
 There was a picturesque incident after the luncheon when President Wilson unveiled a portrait of George Washington, presented to the pre- mier's residence by Lord Albemarle.
 The interest of Londoners in Pres ident Wilson continues. Crowds out side the palace and in Downing street awaited his coming all day, notwith- standing the rain, and cheered his every appearance. Each time they saw President Wilson they demanded a speech, but each time the president shook his head negatively.
 Papers Pay Tributes.
 The newspapers today were filled with tributes to the president, which undoubtedly have been the cause of a heightening in his personal popularity 1 in London.
 It is expected that another great gathering will witness the progress to 1 the Guild Hall tomorrow to receive the address of the lord mayor.

 CHICAGO, Dec. 27-District Attor- ney Charles F. Clyne caused stir in the trial of five socialist leaders charged with violation of the espion- age law today, when he reported to Federal Judge Landis that an import ant letter introduced in evidence by the government had mysteriously dis appeared. The document was describ- ed as the German code letter read to the jury in connection with the testi- mony of Pvt. Arnold Schiller, one of the governments principal witnesses, who told of plans for an underground railway to smuggle socialist draft evaders into Mexico.

 The missing letter is alleged to have been written to Schiller by William F.. Kruse. national secretary of the Young Peoples Socialist league and one of the defendants in the case. Schiller testified that notation made by Kruse on the bottom of the letter was in German code used by social the officers in Douglas.

He was sent to Cliff ton to work and made his escape, then was returned to Florence where he was again made a trusty. Miss Laura Foreman is the younger girl, aged 19, and the other is Mrs. Grace Landis of Phoenix, aged 23. The other man Emmett McDaniels, also 23 years old was sent up from this county for horse stealing.
 The party was at Happy Jack Asn worth's store, between here and the Huachuca mountain, on Thursday morning at o'clock. They awoke the proprietor and purchased 14 gallons oi gasoline and in payment for which | they gave him a check on which the name of L.

LETTER SENT PERSHING
COPY REACHING WASHINGTON TELLS OF REMARKABLE sTRA- GETIc VICTORIES BOTH IN DE- TENSE AND ASSAULT DURING SPRING, SUMMER AND FALL
cRv Rev.aw Leased vIrel

WASHINGTON, Dec. PA strik- ing tribute to the courage and skill Of Brig. Gen. Douglas MacArthur, com manding the S4th brigade of the 42nd (Rainbow) division. was given by Maj. Gen. Charles T. MenOher, formerly in command of the division, in a letter to General Pershing urging for a second time the promotion of General Macarthur to the rank Of major gen eral.
 A copy of the communication has just reached Washington. It reviewed the record of General Macarthur and disclosed that the young officer, a major of engineers when the United States entered the war, had been twice wounded, had been decorated by both the French and American gov ernments for personal gallantry in action and in addition had been twice recommended for the French Legion of Honor.
 Tribute to MacArthur.
 q do not feel that I am free to as- sume another command" General Menoher wrote General Pershing, or the eve of his transfer to the com mand of the Sixth army corps. with out recording the services rendered by Gen. Douglas MacArthur. The contributions made to our military es- tablishment by this general officer have already had far-reaching effects. He has stood for the actual physical command of large bodies of troops in battle, not for a day, but days dura- tion, and l believe, has actually com manded larger bodies of troops in the battle line than any other officer in our army with, in each instance, con spicuous success.
 Supreme in Field.
 He has developed, combined and applied the use of infantry and cor related armies with an effect upon the enemy, a husbandry of his own forces and means and a resourceful- ness which no other American com mander in the field has. His efforts have been untiring, uninterrupted and without the least regard for his per sonal safety at each of the many times when he felt his personal lead ership required his presence in the thick of the struggle"
 Took Drives Brunt.
 The itemiZed account of General MacArthur's services included the statement that the 42nd division 'sus- tained the full brunt" of the German drive in the Champagne last July. and that it was the skill and personal supervision of this officer which made possible a great victory. Later, dur ing the Aisne- Marne offensive. the 42nd was driving toward the Vesle when an incident occurred which General Menoher described as fol l lows:
 Undertook Pursuit Quickly.
 At the end of this phase of the divisions employment. when it had labored night and day for over a week and was brought to a pause by vigorous resistance to the assault | from extremely powerful positions occurred an example of leadership and the high qualities of command which consider as unequalled.

Scandal again rears an ugly head at the state penitentiary. Developments indicate that clandestine meetings and intrigue between convicts under the petted Hunt honor system" and wOm- en and girls in and about Florence has been common practice, facilitated by the use of the state automobiles employed on joy rides.
 These disclosures come in connec- ton with the escape of the two hon or" canvicts who have in their com pany two mere girls. The older of the men.
