PRESIDENT WILL
60 TO FRANCE
Wilson Has Decided 10 Attend
Peace Conference.
WILL SOUND KEYNOTE
Presidents Main Purpose In Taking
Part In Conference Is To Make Sure
League Of Nations And Dlsarma.
ment Are Written Into Treaty.

Washington-Pres Wilson, ii
was officially announced Monday, will
sail for France early next month for
the purpose of taking part in the dis
cussion and settlement OF, the main
features of the treaty of peace. He
will not go as delegate and does
not expect to be absent from this coun.
try more than month or five weeks.
The announcement, given out at the
White House, follows:
To Sail Early Next Month.
The President expects to sail for
France Immediately after the opening
of the regular session of Congress, for
the purpose of taking part in the dis
cussion and settlement of the main
features of the treaty of peace. 1t is
not likely that it will be possible for
him to remain throughout the sessions
of the formal peace conference, but his
order to obviate the manifest disad
vantages of discussion by cable in de-
termining the greater outlines of the
final treaty about which he must nee
essarily be consulted He will. of
course, be accompanied by delegates,
who will sit as the representatives of
the United States throughout the con.
ference.
The names of the delegates will be
presently announced.
One of tie Presidents main purposes
in taking part in the preliminary work
of furnishing the chart and compass
for the Peace Tribunal according to
members of Congress, is to make sure
that the League of Nations and dis
armament are accepted as two card
inal principles of the document 10
which the leading nations on earth
will affix their signatures. The Presl.
dent desires to outlaw warfare. He
wants to make it impossible as human
agency can in this day for groups of
nations to settle disputes, Quarrels and
rivalries by means of the gun and the
bayonet. With that condition he wants
to bring about the disarmament of
nations and relieve the people OF the
terrible burden of maintaining expens
i've military establishments.
President Wilson's plans for
League of Nations, it is asserted by
some, differs somewhat from the plans
advanced by the League for Enforced
Peace which has large organization
in this country. The Presidents
scheme is said to call for rules and
laws, which the contracting nations
are to follow and respect just as the
states of the American Union respect
the Federal laws passed by Congress.
Owing to the necessity of limiting
the time of his visit to the seat of the
conference, the President, it is expect
ed, will visit only one country-France
1t is not regarded as likely he will go
to London. 1t was pointed out here
today that if he called at London he
would be compelled to visit Rome and
Brussels, and trips of this kind would
consume more time than he could
spare from Washington. 1t is also
believed that he will go to the front
and visit the American occupation
army in Germany.
The trip across the ocean will be
made on one of the American dread
naughts, which will be escorted by
other warships.

"HiNDY" BLAMES FAMINE.
Told Men Threat OF One Caused Ac-
ceptance OF Armistce.

Paris.-"Field Marshal Won linden
burg in his message to the German
army said that the threat of famine
caused the acceptance of the armis-
tice," says Marcel Ruth, of the Echo
De Paris. Although food difficulties
played part in the defeat of Ger
many, the determining cause of the
German collapse was the fact that the
enemy's army was on the brink of
disaster.
''The first words the German plenipo-
tentiaries said to Marshal Foch were,
in substance: "Germany's army is at
your mercy, Marshal. Our reserves Of
Alen and munitions are completely ex-
hausted, making it impossible for u
to continue the war"

GERMAN NAVY
GIVEN TO ALLIES
Papers Signed Divestinq leu
tons of Their Fleet.
NET ON BRITISH FLAGSHIP
Ceremony Attending Reception Of Ger
mans, Who, After Signing Papers,
Were Again Sent On
Their Way.

Notwithstanding six abreast at
their high sea rendezvous, six light
cruisers of the British Navy, accom-
panied by 10 destroyers, were COM
PEELED to wait for many hours while
the cruiser Koenigsberg, carrying
navals plenipotentiaries, felt her way
through for Hun mine fields.
The great ships, enveloped by a
heavy grey fog, doomed dimly as they
waited, from time to time picking up
wireless messages from the German
envoy ship telling OF her delays, one
caused by her skirting former Ger.
man-laid mine field, with its floating
bombs of death, that had already been
swept clean by the British.
Under The White Flag.
Late Friday, hours after the sched-
uled time of meeting, when every sail
or in Admiral Beatty's escort was
growing impatient, the German light
cruiser carrying Rear Admiral Meur-
er was sighted. Every glass was con
centrated upon her, the first German
ship to know immunity on the North
Sea for four years, as she slowly
approached, with hardly ripple from
her bow as it pushed through the
water.
A white flag blew out stiff, plain
to be seen, between the flag of Rear
Admiral Meurer and the Imperial Ger
man ensign. The flagship Cardiff's
searchlight futtered signal to her,
the Koenigsberg flashed an acknowl-
edgment. Slowly, listly, as though
broken in spirit, the German ship with
guns covered with canvas and all evi-
uence of war and death MAIDEN from
view fell into tia rear of Admiral
Beatty's flagship while the British
cruisers swiftly encircled her.
There was sudden pause as the
wireless of the E.oenigsberg spoke and
the Britishers picked it up. 1t was a
message to a German land Office that
she had been met and taken in charge.
Silence followed then except for the
noise of the increasing speed forward
of victors and the vanquished, lea by
the flagship Cardiff.
A Navy Signed Away.
Speed was reduced TO 10 knots for
entrance through the gates of the
boom and at 6 p. M. the Koenigsberg
was ushered to her berth off Inch
keith, at the mouth of the Firth.
The ships of the escort anchored about
her. Throughout the night lights on
each beam blazed brilliantly while a
motor launch cruised steadily around
the German envoy ship.
Aboard the destroyer Oak, the Ger
man naval parlementaires were taken
up the river through a maze of British
ships of war, all buzzing with life TO
the great flagship Queen Elizabeth
Rear-Admiral Meurer and the four
officers accompanying him, walked
quickly down the quarter deck of the
great flagship between lines of royal
marines, standing at attention with
fixed bayonets. Not a word, cry or
hiss was uttered.
At five o'clock Sunday morning the
work of her masters completed, the
Koenigsberg under escort, moved out
to the seas which the navy to which
she belonged made empty, and which
the ENJOYS she carried had signed to
make free.

turning of the Ukrainian Government
by General Denikine's anti-Bolshevik

satisfaction for officials said it will

simple.
It has been believed for some time
that General Alexieff, the former
Russian commander-in-chief, had a
large force of Cossacks operating in
Astrakhan, and the news from the
Ukraine seems to confirm this, as Gen
eral Denikine is member of Alexieff's
army. Denikine is known to be an
able officer, who has the confidence of
his men and of government officials in
the Allied countries.
1t was pointed out that with the Cos
sacks, many of whom are Ukrainians
themselves, in charge, it will be easy
to reach Russia in Europe with sup
plies and necessary munitions by way
of the Black Sea, which is now open
to the Allies.
