WILSON REVIEWS
TEN THOUSAND Of
AMERICAN TROOPS
SIGHT OF VETERANS WAV-
ING FLAGS WAS A GREAT
PICTURE


On Board President Wilson's S
Special Train en- Route TO Calais,
Dec. 26.-PreSidcnt Wilson left
Chaumont for England late yeStcr-
day afternoon. feeling more strong
" than ever the magnificent part
American soldiers took in the win
ming of the war. Yesterdays review
in which 10000 American soldiers
marched before him, created deep
impression on the president quite
apart from the historic significance
of reviewing fighting men on for
cign soil for the first time.
When addressing his troops as
"fcllow countrymen,' he told them
that he believed that he could
promise them a happy New Year"
This was considered the keynote of
the address and friends about Mr..
Wilson construed his words to mean
that he was beginning to see the
way more clearly toward the at
tainmcnt of obicctiycs he set for
himself at the peace conference.
Important Address Expected
At least one very important ad-
dress may be expected from the
president while he is in England. 1t
may define his line OF thought more
clearly on issues in which Great
Britain is so deeply interested. lie
will take opportunity to do this in
the course of conferences he will
hold with Premier Lloyd George, a,
!. Balfour, secretary of state for
foreign affairs, and Andrew Bonar
Law, chancellor OF the cNchcquer,
but whatever public speeches he
will make will be Of course in eX-
PLANTATION to the English people
themselves, who he believes are in
accord with the principles on which
the making of peace has been be-
gun.
In his address to the American
troops, President Wilson said he had
found no difference Of principles. He
expects to return to Paris to con-
tinue the work Of the peace confer
cncc with what may be differences
Of opinion cleared away or on the
way to accomplishment.
Wonderful Spectacle.
Yesterdays review was picture
worthy OF a great painted. the
sight Of 10000 American veterans
carrying the United States flag on
the soil of the sister republic, a com
rade in arms in a great cause, was
lust a little too much to permit the
president to suppress his cmtion. He
frankly admitted being all choked
up
Mr.. Wilson's visit to soldiers bill
lets in nearby towns will long be
remembered. At one place he
climbed a ladder to the loft OF a
stable to talk with soldiers quartered
there. Everywhere the boys and girls
of the villages brought native
flowers or gifts to him. One spry
little miss actually hoped into his
car and planted a kiss on his cheek
before the president knew what was
going on. Ambassador and Madame
Iusscrand who accompanied Presi-
dent and Mrs. Wilson to Chaumont,
lett for Paris at the same time that
Mr.. Wilson's train started toward
Calais

ALL LINES CLEAR
SAY THE RAILROADS

Topeka, Kan, Dec. 26.-"All lines
clear was the good word at the
Santa Fe, Rock Island and Union
Pacific railroad offices here today.
Passenger schedules which have
been demoralized for nearly three
days, are gradually being worked
back to normal with prospect that
trains would be running on regular
time tomorrow Trains on all but
three lines were blocked in western
Kansas and the southwest by snow
drifts. About 50 per cent OF freight
traffic is being maintained today al
ter almost a complete lapse OF 4S
hours. All railroads report heavy
losses of perishables, en- route and
delivered for shipment

Will Not Allow Drinking

Paris, Wednesday, Dec. 25. (Hav-
as)-General Pershing has issued an
order TO all American commanders
to cooperate fully with the French
government in measures against ex-
cessive use OF alcoholic liquors. The
French army rules regarding the
drinking of spirituous liquors and
the opening of liquor shops to SOL
diers. he says. will be observed
strictly by the American forces.

the grimy old station where King
George welcomed Mr.. Wilson was
carpctcd with red and the walls and
roofs were hidden behind masses
OF flags. Club windows were most
ly monopolized by men while the
hotels and stores along the way
were filled with gay parties only
less interesting than those on the
streets.
American Flags Everywhere
That such masses of American
flags could be produced at such
short notice was a revelation OF
London'S resources and none ap-
preciatcd them more than the
American soldiers and blueiackets
among the spectators.
The presidents trip to London
was carried out according to sched-
ulc. His train, which left Dover
at 1888 O'Clock, arrived at Charing
Cross station on time.
As the presidents train crossed
the Thames and entered the station
great cheer went mp from the
crowd. \ salute OF II guns was
fired from the tower of London
and in Hyde Park.
Ovation Unparalleled
The parade was witnessed by such
an outpouring of people and amid
such enthusiasm as London had
never known except upon the occa-
sion Of coronationS and Queen Vic
toria's Jubilee in 1907. There was a
general agreement among London
ers that no visiting head OF state
had ever been given such an ova-
ton as that accorded the American
president.
The progress of the royal and
presidential party was in semi-state
coaches, each drawn by four dark
horses, with two Positions in scar
let coats, white breeches and black
silk hats and two footmen in long
buff overcoats sitting behind. The
coaches we're escorted by squads OF
scarlet coated outriders.
Fog Gives Way to Ice.
Before the presidents arrival it
seemed as though London was to
have its coolest day OF the winter.
There was ice in the streets and
neither the rain nor the Jog which
usually prevails in December. BY |
O'Clock the streets were filled with
holiday throngs.
Across St. James street was hung
a huge blue banner with the words
WELCOME President Wilson, in
gold letters.
From government buildings in
Whitehall, British and AhNrican
flags were flying from the same staff.
Photographs OF President Wilson
were displayed in windows all along
his route to Buckingham palace.

SINN FE|NERS WANT
IRISH REPUBLIC
GREAT VICTORY SCORED AT
ELECTIONS OVER THE
NATIONALISTS.

Dublin, Dec. l9.-(Correspond-
ence OF The Associated Press)-The
Sim Fein victory over the Nation
alistS in the recent parliamentary
elections exceeded the highest
hopes of the Sim Feiners. 1t is be-
lieved that when the final count is
made on December 2S, the Sim
Feiners will have won a majority OF
the Irish seats. In fact, before the
election they had gained 25 seats
because the nationalists did not op-
pose them.
The Sim FeinerS elected will not
take their seats. They will forfeit
their $50 pounds which they had to
post as an election fee which is re-
turnable only when a member takes
his oath and his seat.
The immediate purposes, accord
ing to one of their most prominent
leaders. are to convoke an Irish ma
tionalist assembly early in January.
The assembly would draft nation
al constitution Tor Ireland which
would be laid before 4 conference
OF all nations.
Propose Republic
Complete separation and a repub
lie wholly Independent of Great
Britain is boldly claimed by some
Sim Feiners. Various plans have
been suggested to bring about home
rule, but none has substantial back
ing from any other organization in
Ireland

Spartacus. They demanded that
Premier Ebert and Minister llaase
resign, be replaced George Lebour
and DR.. Karl Liebknecht.
DR.. Liebknecht, it is announced,
went to the chancellor's palace and
had long conference with the min
ster. the result OF which was un-
known.
More Fighting Expected
Further fighting is anticipated, 1t
was added, as the Spartacians and
the sailors had decided to attempt
TO force the guards to return to
Potsdam. The guards were station
ed in Inter Den Linden and on
the Werderschen Platz.
According to the Exchange Tele-
graph dispatch from Copenhagen
force of 800 sailors on Monday
formed a guard and seized the Red
castle. one OF the former royal pal
aces. They blocked the main streets
and entered the public buildings and
arrested Herr Wels. the military
commander OF Berlin; Herr Fischer,
his adiutant. and DR.. Bonard.
The republican guard with ma
chine guns and artillery bombarded
the castle. Holes were made III the
walls. the porches we're destroyed
and all the windows smashed. The
balcony from which former En-
peror William once made speech
in which he declared: Il know no
parties" was partly smashed. The
guard eventually occupied the castle

who was arrested Monday by re-
voting sailors during the fighting
in which many sailors and republic
can guards were killed and wound
ed, was released shortly before noon
today. He spent the night in the
basement OF the former royal stables
Some of the sailors were in favor
OF his immediate execution, but
cooler heads opposed the plan. Some
proposed that he be locked up in 4
small chamber with the bodies OF
sailors and other victims OF Mon
days fighting. That he escaped
violence was due to the interces-
sion of socialist leaders.
