Lord Northcliffe Gives Out Statement
On President Wilson's Peace Trip
Copyright, 1918, by the United Press.)

LONDON Dec. I'm view of the widespread discussion
gardng President Wilson's decision to attend the peace
ference the United Press asked Lord Norhce Brit
aims greatest publisher for statement of the European at
tude toward the presidents personal participation in the
lberatiOns
Responding to this special request Lord Northce today
made the following statement:
Foreigners have right to take part in the politics other
countries That the president of the United States should
tend the conference has always been regarded
matter of politics. but essential factor in the situation
1t would be unthnkabe for example that Premier Lloyd
George should not be at the peace conferences
Il am not in position to speak for France but cannot con-
without Premier Cemenceau the French representa-
tvs.
The whole discussion shows the grave danger that always
exists of international misunderstanding 1t is apparently
evident from cables getting that many citizens of the
United States democrats well republicans object the
presidents only say that comprehend
that situation.
Britain and her four sister nations Canada Australia New
Zealand and South Africa have had nearly 900 killed.
People of all shades of opinion realize that our head man.
Premier Lloyd George must be the peace to
look after the interests of nation like ours that has suffered
terribly
THE United States lately has played great part in the
and the Germans have consistently addressed the president
As foreigner although warm friend the United States
can express view Of American pocshough Of course
have many vewsbut may be allowed to say express
sion Of personal opinion that these conferences held
without President Wilson the whole European world would
think there something very wrong indeed with those
ferences"

Senate Military Affairs Committee
viii begin an investigation tomorrow
Of the delay in forwarding to this

GERMANS LEAVE
BOMBS ON DEAD
Allied Burial Parties Blown Up When
They Move Hun Bodies.

WITH THE BRITISH AMERICAN
ARMIES, Nov. 10 Correspond
ence. German deviltry seemed to
know no bounds in the last few days
of the fighting on the British front
after the Hindenburg line had been
shattered. They attached grenades
to the bodies of dead Huns left be-
hind in the German retreat, so that
when the bodies were lifted the gren-
AIDES exploded, killing or wounding
the bearers.
Near the town of LIE Cateau a
number of Australian stretcher bear
ers were killed by these grenades in
attempting to remove some German
dead from the field in front of an
American machine gun position.
Thereafter no Australian would put
a hand on a dead German. In some
cases the bodies were dragged to
their burial places by means of a
long rope, which allowed the stretcher
bearers to keep out of range of any
exploding hand grenades.
The Americans, on the other hand,
hit upon the plan of making the Ger
man prisoners bury their own dead
In one instance boche prisoner was
summarily shot because he refused
to remove the body of one of his
dead companions. An examination of
the body later led to the discovery
that it was mined. The German was
aware of this fact, and refused to
touch it.
In one small town evacuated by
the Germans many of the beds were
found to be mined. An American
officer, tired and worn by long and
hard fighting, sought rest on lounge
in a room previously occupied by a
German officer. The lounge blew up
and he was instantly killed.
Another officer picked up pair
of field glasses left by the Germans
and was adjusting the focus when
the glasses exploded in his hands and
blew away a part of his face.
The Huns had become adept in the
nefarious business of making Internal
machines, mines and time fuses, and
there was scarcely an area where the
electrical and engineering experts Of
the allies did not find some new form
of their fiendish ingenuity.

900 Yanks, Freed,
Arrive In France

BELLEGARDE, FRANCE, Dec. 2.
Nine hundred American soldiers
arrived here today from the German
prison camp at Ullingen, by way Of
Switzerland. An American hospital
train was awaiting the party, which
comprised 700 officers and 200 order
lies. Their condition was unusually
good, owing to the fact that food sup
piled to them by the American Red
Cross actually had been delivered to
them. In passing through Switzer-
land on their special train, the Amer
leans were cordially greeted by the
Swiss.

30.-The text of the former
German emperor's act of re-
nunciation, which was issued
by the new German govern
ment ''in order to reply to
certain misunderstanding
which have arisen with regard
to the abdication," follows:
"By the present document

they will aid those who eff
fectively hold the power in
Germany to protect the Ger
