.LEVATHAN |S DUE |NNEW YORK TODAY
 WITH 9000 TROOPS
IRepublican A. p. Leased Wire1

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-The giant American transport Leviathan, for merly the Hamburg American liner Vaterland, the largest vessel afloat, is due here tomorrow with between S,O0O and 5000 officers and men of the American overseas forces. A wireless message was received here today from the steamship. This will mark the first arrival in this harbor of the great ship since the armistice was signed, al though during the period of Americas participation in the war, she ferrled across the Atlantic approximately lO0,- GOO fighting Ren, together with vast quantities of war supplies.
 Among the first ships seized by this government, when war was declared against Germany, it was discovered that members of the Leviathan's crew had done what they believed to be ir- reparable damage to the engines, with the evident intention that she could not be used against the forces represented by the flag she formerly carried
 American engineering skill, however, proved equal to the emergency, and after weeks of hard work, navy me- chanics succeeded not only in restoring the ship to her former efficiency, but
 
 greater speed than her German build CTS had contemplated. These repairs were made at cost of approximately $1, 100000, and it is a matter of pride to the overseas transport forces, that she has not missed a single scheduled voyage since she was placed in com mission.
 Armed to the Teeth
 Armed to a degree that made her all most as formidable "s a modern battle cruiser and further strengthened by her great speed, she braved the subma- rine dangers of the war zone and came through without scratch. Her voy- ages through the war zone, under the stars and stripes, have been ten in number. and she has carried an aver l age of 10000 men besides her crew.
 Launched at Hamburg on April i, 1913, the Leviathan arrived in New York on her maiden voyage on July l 29, 1914
 She made only one round trip under the German flag. and her original name 1 before she was self-interned here at i the outbreak of the war
 The great ship is registered at 54,- 2S2 tons gross; she is 907 feet long and 100-foot of beam, with engines which originally developed 93,000 horse power
 The hull has five steel decks with l four others superimposed, making nine in all, above the water line. Elevators both passenger and freight, make her a I floating structure which equals in size some of tho largest buildings on land.

 ID PREACH POLICY
 OF -AMER|CAN|SN|

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The story of how enemy propagandists used Ger man Lutheran pastors to preach love for the fatherland and devotion to it's cause, and tried in vain to stir up ne- groes in the United States with re- ports that if Germany won part of this country would be assigned exclusively to them. was told to the senate com mittee Investigating propaganda by Captain George B.

The witness also continued his testimony of yesterday. seeking to show "proGerman, anti English and anti-American" policies Of William R. earstS newspapers as directed by William Bayard Hale, Hearst correspondent in Berlin. after breaking of relations with Germany.
 The hearing will be resumed Tues day, when several men whose names have been mentioned by witnesses dur in gthe inquiry, including Samuel Un- termyer of New York, will be heard. Preachers in Prison
 Some German Lutheran preachers spread the doctrines promoted by the German government, both before and after this country entered the war, Captain Lester declared, and a few woh continued these utterances after join ing the army are in prison. Many church leaders recognized the pro-Ger- man tendencies of the ministers and | tried assiduously to have them re- moved, the officer explained.
 The efforts to stir up race troubles among American negroes failed, said | Captain Lester, but it persisted until a congress of negro leaders in July last | formally recognized the propaganda and denounced the movement
 1 One cablegram from Hale at Berlin to the New York American, read to the l committee, was interpreted by Captain Lester as proving that the German government did not regard the notori- ous Zimmerman note, disclosing a movement to involve Mexico and the United States in war, "as a frame-up | by the British
 Lutheran Admits Charge | NEW YORK, Dec. live do not attempt to deny that there are pastors in the Lutheran church who have been l in sympathy with Germany. and that some have spoken in a way to merit the despicable name 'disloyal,'" Rev. pr. F. K Knubel, president of the Limited Lutheran church of America, said in a statement here tonight He referred to the testimony of Captain George B. Lester, of the army intelli- gence service, who testified today be- fore the senate committee investigat- ing enemy propaganda, that some Lutheran ministers had been used to spread German propaganda.
 Declaring the history of the church proved it's loyalty to the nation, Dr Knubel added:

LLOYD GEORGE ENDS CAMPA|GN IN TILT
 WITH LABOR LEADER
Republican A. p. Leased WIre1

LONDON, Dec 14.-(via MontreaD. Premier Lloyd George wound up his speech making campaign last night at CamberwelI, by attacking the name labor party" because it did not repre- sent all the labor of the united king dom. The party represented only a small part of labor, whose votes, he de- clared, would largely be cast for the government.
 The labor party, the premier contin- ued, was not being run by real labor ing men, but by pacifists and pure and simple bolshevillL It would not be safe to trust the destinies of great empire ito the labor party until it was able to overthrow this clique.
 The premier's challenge to the labor party was taken up by the laborites. John R. Clynes, former food minister, speaking at Nottingham, declared that the labor party was the same party which had decided, two years ago, to support MT. Lloyd George. The only difference was that it was larger. He admitted that it was true in some cases that some members of the party took extreme views, which, however, he did not share. The extremists, he said, had only local influence

Henderson Calls" George

Former Premier Asquith addressed eight meetings in East Fife and was heckled at all of them. He was given votes of confidence however, at all places except at Ladybank, where the votes were equal.
 Arthur Henderson, the labor leader, declared in an interview, that nobody knew better than Premier Lloyd George, that the labor party, in con- junction with the trades union con gress, was the only party representing organized workers. There was no evil dence in proof of the premier's asser- tion that the labor party was bolshe- wiki On the contrary, MT. Henderson said, he could produce ample evidence that the labor party sought as earnest ly as he for the triumph of democratic principles
