Seal Was Broken

When Francis i. Heney. special counsel
for the commission, arrived at the office
of Henry Needer, counsel for SWIFT q
Co. he learned that the latter had broken
the seal which had been placed on the
vault when the first refusal was recorder
last week
Needer told Heney that the government
had no legal right to the documents. He
justified the breaking of the seal on the
ground that the vault contained papers
access to which was necessary to the
conduct of his clients business The
packers attorney told Mr.. Heney that
he would gladly surrender for copying,
any documents which the latter might
declare necessary to the conduct of the
investigation in Washington. The gov
ernment counsel, however, said this com
promise was not satisfactory and assert
ed his right TO enter the vault and take
what documents he wished.
Formal refusal to permit this was re-
corded and Mr.. Heney then left. Re
ports Of impending court action were i'm
mediately current, but there was no an
nouncement as to what step the gov
ernmcnt men contemplated.

Britain to Use Scheldt
In Provisioning Troops
Notice of Intention Is Sent by
London to the Dutch
Government

BRUSSELS, Dec. 23.-1t is reported
here that Holland has been informed by
Great Britain of her intention to send
supplies to the British army of occupa-
ton in Germany by way of the river
Scheldt and Dutch Limburg
The Scheldt River was source of con-
troversy between Holland and the Allies
throughout the war, particularly at the
time when Germany was using the
Scheldt and other Dutch waterways for
transporting war materials into Bel
GUM.
The Scheldt flows through three
countries, France. Belgium and Hol-
land. 1t rises in France, in the depart
ment of the Aisne and flows first north,
into Belgium, then northeast to Ant
werp. north of which it spreads out
into the large branching estuary which
merges with the Rhine Delta and opens
by several wide channels into the
North Sea, through southwestern Hol-
land
Last year the British government
stopped all commercial cable communi-
cation with Holland until the Dutch
government halted the transportation
of German war material over the
Scheldt into Belgium.

PARIS, Dec 23-President Wilson
and Mrs. Wilson went out walking to,

their arrival in Paris. They slipped

golfing impracticable so the President
chose the walk instead. He conferred

Gregory Gives Wilson
Opinion ON Signing Bills

WASHINGTON. Dec. 28.-Attorney
General Gregory has given President
Wilson an opinion that the period of
ten days which the Constitution gives
him to sign or veto bill or resolutions
passed by Congress does not begin to
ran until the cngrossed copy of legis-
lation actually is placed in his hands.
All measures sent to the White
House since the President sailed for
Europe have been taken to Paris by
State Department messengers, travel
ing by the fastest steamers. In this
way 1t was planned to give the Presi-
dent two or three days in which to
act upon legislation, and notify the
White House by cable or wireless of
what he has done. Under the Attorney
Generals opinion he has the same
time for consideration he would have
if he were at the White House.
SO far, the executive Offices have not
been advised that any of the minor
measures forwarded to Paris have been
signed

Department at the funeral at Aberdeen.
N. c., tomorrow, Of Walter Hines Page,
former Ambassador 20 Great Britain,
who died at Pinehurst Saturday night.
The State Department issued this
statement on Mr. Pages services:
"From the date of his appointment
as Ambassador Extraordinary and Min
ister Plenipo potentiary to Great Britain
IN April, 1918, until he was forced by
illness to relinquish his post, Mr.. Page
devoted himself most assiduously to
bringing about a more complete under
standing between the two great Eng
speaking nations.
Representing as he did the very
best traditions of this country. he was
peculiarly we'll fitted to accomplish the
objects of his high mission. His in
depreciation of the wishes of his gov
ernment were of the highest order. and
ms successful conduct of the many
dellcate negotiations intrusted to him
during ms tenure merited the highest
approval Of the State Department.
His high sense of duty, his zeal
N"'i.SoS anu SGI-S -SaCrlfclng devotion
to the service resulted in his ;llness
and his untimely death"
LONDON. Dec. 23.-London papers

Ambassador at London, and print an
preclatlons of his work at the Court
of st. James's.
"Ihe Globe' says: "His discharge of
ms outles as American Ambassador en-
Dllied him to rank with the most sue
cessful of the brilliant men who have
occupied that distinguished position in
the past. He never failed to internret

be granted as the highest success at

New-York tribune., 1918-12-24
Spain Is Expected
To Demand Return
OF Gibraltar

PARIS, Dec. 23.-The visit of Prem
ier Romanones of Spain to Paris has
brought about definite understanding
concerning the status of neutral ma
tions before the peace congress While
10 formal decision has been taken, a
member of the American peace com
mission said to The Associated
Press to-day that whenever ques-
tion arose affecting the interest Of
any particular neutral nation it would
have its opportunity of being heard,
probably through delegates.
These delegates, it was added, will
not sit regularly in the congress and
Will have no vote on questions between
the Allies and the Central Powers
bearing directly on the war, but will
be called in when their interests are
affected This course probably will ap-
ply to general subjects like a league
of nations, in which the interests of
all countries, including the neutrals,
are affected, as we'll as subjects es-
pecially affecting any particular neu-
trail.
1t developed to-day that Premier
Romanones plans to return to Paris in
the near future to confer with the AL
lied Premiers and the American repre-
sentatives on questions vitally con-
cerning Spain. The Spanish Premier
in this connection is credited in some
quarters with the project of raising
the question Of the return of Gibraltar
to Spain and laying it before the peace
conference.
According to the same sources, Spain
is willing to concede Ceuta, on the
Moroccan side of the strait, to- Great
Britain in exchange for Gibraltar, on
the ground that if military reasons
were held 10 inte rfere with the trans
fer of Gibraltar to Spain the possession
of Ceuta by the British would afford
equal strategic advantage in modern
warfare.
