Wilson Violates Custom
BY Taking OlUn Wreath
to Tomb of Lafayette

Paris, Dec. 15.-When Presi-
dent Wilson went to the tomb of
Lafayette today he insisted on
taking his own wreath, contrary
to the custom here by which the
florist delivers the wreath and
the donor later makes the visit
and leaves his card. The presi-
dent sent Admiral Grayson to
buy the wreath and after some
difficulty in explaining to the
florist. who could not understand
why the traditional custom was
being broken, obtained it and
drove to the tomb.
On, his personal card, Presi-
dent Wilson wrote this inscrip-
ton:
in memory of the great La
fayette from fellow servant of
liberty"
Entirely unannounced the
president drove to the old Pic
pus cemetery where the amazed
aged gatekeeper was almost too
flustered to unlock the gates
when he learned who his caller
was. The news of the presidents
visit spread rapidly to the con-
vent nearby, and as he left he
passed through lines of aged
nuns who came out to pay their
respects to the American chief
executive.

first hand understanding of the
views of the European statesmen
and an opportunity to convey to
them the American viewpoint.
While President Wilson has not
announced positively that he will
visit Pope Benedict, it now seems
probable that he will do so. 1t is
known here that the pope is anxious
to receive the president, and the
vatican officials have announced that
the visit may be made without
danger of embarrassment because Of
the differences between the vatican
and the quirinal.
Will Be Kings Guest.
1t is likely that if President Will
son goes to Rome he will visit the
qurinal palace as the guest of King
Victor Emmanuel. Afterward he
will go to the American embassy,
where he will be met by the rector
and students of the American Ec-
clisiastical college. The rector will
convey to the president Pope Bene-
diets desire to see him.
If President Wilson goes to the
vatican he will also call on Cardinal
Gasparri, papal secretary of state,
who will return the call upon the
president at the embassy on behalf
of the pope, who cannot, by prece-
dent, leave the vatican. This was
the program followed when King
Edward visited the king and the
pope.
If the president goes to Rome, it
will be after Christmas as King Vic
tor Emmanuel will be in Paris until
December %.

Paris. Dec. l5.-Plans for the re-
assembling of the interallied con-
ference and the meeting of the peace
congress are gradually being ma
tured. 1t was the first intention tc
have the interallied conference meet

Has No Present Desire
to Change Residence

Amerongen, Holland, Dec. Is
The former German emperor con-
tinues to lead the life of a near
recluse. He is virtually cut off from
all communication with the outside
world. Reports that he was in con-
slant communication with his form
er advisers are not true.
The empress has been troubled
for years with an affection of the
heart but her physician says that her
condition has showed no change
since her arrival here.
The correspondent inquired into
the rumor that the former emperor
intended to move his quarters and
learned that Herr Hohenzollern is
not interested in other houses in
Holland and is not likely to move
anywhere until he knows more re-
garding his future.

first time since the British troops ar
rived here and the people have be-
gun to realize what formal occupa-

such as clergymen and physicians.

zette and other papers were not pub
lished, although they expect to re-
sumo tomorrow.
The transportation and sale of
liquor, except beer and wines, is
forbidden, No street assemblies will
be permitted and other assemblies
must be authorized. Amusement
places cannot run without authoriza-
ton.
Residents must surrender all
weapons and must aid the military
in the pursuit of law breakers. There
can be no telephone communications
save in extreme cases and then only
with permission.
Field Marshal Haig has issued an
order to the entire occupied terri
tory in which he declares that the
inhabitants will be protected as long
as they are obedient and peaceable.

punishment as may be decreed is
provided if violence is done soldiers

j. 5. NAVY
GUARDS IN
FIGHT AT
7 TAMP|C0
American GunnerS Aboard
Ward Liner Kill Mexican
Customs Guard Captain
and Wound Soldier.

New York, Dec. l5.-In a clash
on November 20 between the armed
navy guard of the American steam
ship Monterey and Mexican GUS
toms guard at Tampico, one Mexi-
can, said to have been captain, was
killed; a Mexican soldier mortally
wounded, an a chief gunner's mate,
named Berry, in charge of the Amer
ican guard less seriously hurt. This
was learned today with the steamer S
arrival here from Havana and Mas
sau, where she touched after leav-
ing Tampico.
Members of the armed guard and
officers of the ship refused to dis
cuss the incident, but details were
learned from passengers on board
at the time. According to them,
the fight occurred shortly after 5
a, m, after members of the navy
guard went to the rescue of Berry,
who had been attacked. The Amer
leans had first responded to the call
without arms, but upon the Mexi-
cans opening fire, they secured their
weapons and responded in kind.
Mexicans Put to Flight.
The fight, passengers said, was
brief, the Mexicans running away
as soon as the Americans opened
fire, leaving their dead and wound
ed. Later, officials of the port took
the matter in hand, the passengers
asserted, and a demand was made
upon the captain of the Monterey
that the armed guard be delivered
up to them pending an investiga-
ton.
This the captain declined to do,
his action being supported, it was
said, by officers of two American
gunboats in the lRrbor. Later the
matter was disposed of by a decision
to leave the entire subject to Dip
lomatic settlement.
1t was said that the gunner's mate
had gone ashore on an errand just
before the Monterey sailed. Sew
eral blocks from where the ship was
tied up was a saloon and as Berry
was returning to his ship, passing
in front of this saloon. he was called
upon to treat" When he refused
to do so several Mexicans started
after him. As the American ap-
