Wag. Charles N, Ladd Had Opportunity

front with supplies for our batteries aft

allowed to have no lights on our cars
and all the doors and windows in the
place where we have been staying have
been blocked up after dark so that no
lights can show out, on account of aero
planes having q chance to see us and
drop bombs on us.

shooting at them. They have not trou-

they did no damage.

BRITISH ARE EAGER
To Extend Welcome to Wilson, Says
London Daily News.

London, Dec 20. Newspapers here
make extended comments on the impend-
ing visit of President Wilson to England
The Daily News expresses profound sat
isfaction over Mr., Wilson's plan and
adds:
every section of the nation is eager
for an opportunity to display its graft
tude and admiration of the presidents
unfaltering idealism and steadfastness of
purpose
The newspaper, approving of King
George remaining in London to honor
President Wilson, hopes, nevertheless,
that the ceremonial aspect of the visit
win be kept to the narrowest limits con-
sistent with its Importance, SO that moth
ing may stand in Mr.. Wilson's way
which will prevent his coming in personal
contact with the people, rather than the
rulers. 1t continues:
'While the visit will give the people an
opportunity to range themselves publicly
on his side, it will also give the president
an opportunity of which he win hardly
fail to avail himself, Of shortening the
preliminaries which are occupying time
that might be proftably devoted to ac
tual conference with the allies. These
preiminaries have not been formally
begun.
The paper contends that it is necessary
to press forward to the negotiations anC

PRES WILSON CONFERS WITH ITALIANS
ON ITALYS JUST CLAIM AT CONFERENCE;
PREMIER OF SPAIN REACHES PARIS
PLEADS FOR JUSTICE.
Count Max Montgelas Says Germans Are
Not Begging.

Munich, Thursday, Dec. 10 (By the As
sociated Press General Count Max
Montgelas, who was recalled from Swift
zerland to enter the Bavarian cabinet on
Nov. 81, and who has been referred to by
French newspapers as the second Lich-
nowsky," because of his revelations OF
conditions prevailing in Germany early
in the war, has published an open letter
to President Wilson. 1t follows;
"In these decisive weeks the eyes Of all
the world are upon you. Above all, the
eyes of the German people in the present
difficult crisis are watching you
we do not beg, we do net want forgive
ness, but want justice. We do not say
pharisaically that one of us is guiltier
than the other We do not separate our
selves in these days of suffering from
any of our countrymen, high or low. We
want to bear in common a portion Of the
blame devolving upon our people IN TINS
world catastrophe.
Each of us who knows your country
knows we'll that proud conscious Amer.
lean nation beneath the Star Spangled
Banner and honors it. We disdain to
blame Others, but we expect, Mr.. Presi'
dent, that you will, despite all opposition
achieve success with the principles yor
laid down. We are building upon the
words you spoke at Washingtons grave
when you said that every arbitrary pow
er, regardless of what side it appears
upon, must be destroyed or condemned tC
impotency We are building upon the
word of impartial justice, which knows
no difference as to those to be judged
We are confident that you want to Greats
league of equality between nations, il
which each people may freely breathe
and work and prosper spiritually.
"You know better than ! what tn
German spirit has given your great peo
| pie. You know the world can do withou
this spirit less than ever after it has beel
freed from the bonds of militarism.
our expectations are deceived, we shal
not cease fighting on for the attainment
of better days. Your message is hopeful
but we must be afraid that not all tn
allies will listen to your words Yo'
have power, and you have duty to per
| form"

capable of executing the conditions OF

archy in Germany is fraught with great

can carry greater weight than any other.
He has no material considerations to IN

sumably has full knowledge of the facts

misgiyings which Viseount Miners state

HUNDREDS ENROLLED
IN RED CROSS GALL
Canvass in Barre Is By No Means Com

600 Names.

Unnumbered accessions to the mem
bership of the Red Cross followed yester-
days intensive drive by house-to-house
canvassers, and while the returns from
Christmas rollcall week in Barre are no
where near complete, it was said at the
campaign headquarters this morning that
the comparatively few solicitors report
ing last night had enlisted 900 members,
This number falls far short of the enroll
ment expected of Barre, but it should be
remembered that majority of the neigh
borhood workers engaged in yesterdays
efforts were permitted to withhold Their
reports until they had completed can
yassing the territory assigned them
Much of the cleanup work was under
way this forenoon. The Christmas roll
call had its beginning Dec l6 and does
not end till Monday.

GREATER PART OF DAY
SPENT WITH ITALIANS
But the Program Included a
Reception at the Murat
Residence of Ambassadors
and Ministers Accredited
to France.

Paris, Dec. 20-President Wilson spent
most of to-day comforting with Italian
statesmen and considering the claims
that Italy will lay before the peace con-
ference.
Early in the day Mr.. Wilson CON
ferred for some time with Premier Or
lando and Foreign Minister Sonnino OF
Italy, who explained in detail their
country's ambitions The president has
expressed warmest sympathy with
Italy's aspirations, but has not commit
ted himself fully as to his views.
After the conference, Mr.. Wilson spent
some time in going over material pre-
sented and comparing it with data col
lected by Colonel +. NJ. House, who spent
some time in attempting to determine
what, in his opinion, should be Italy's
legitimate claims. Mr. Wilson frankly
told Premier Orlando and Baron Son
nino that he did not know what Italy
should receive, but added that he in
tended to support action that would be
just. !,
The program for the day also included
a reception at the Murat residence Of the
France, beginning at 5 p. m.
While the diplomatic corps was being
received committee from the French
Senate waited to welcome the president
formally to France. Because of this en-
gagement previously arranged lunch
con with Stephen Pichon, foreign minis
ter, was cancelled.
Wilson Going to London Dec. rs.
President Wilson's plan for visiting
London, while not yet positive, contem-
plates that he will leave for England
next Thursday, Dec. 20. He probably
win remain in England four days.
The president will start for London
Immediately after he has Christmas din
ner with the American troops in the field
The president will not return directly t.
Paris, but it is expected he will visit
the devastated regions of northern France
and Belgium. It is expected he will b
back in Paris about Jan. on the ev'
of the first meeting Of the inter-alliet
conference on Jan. 9.
The opening meeting Of the inter al
lied conference will be confined to repre-
sentatives of the allies and the Unitec
states, WHO VIII dildhEt Soihihoh pRoA
Of action for the formal sessions Of tn
peace congress which will open towart
the middle or latter part of January. l
is expected that the German delegate
then viii be present for the first time
It is pointed out that as this is not
negotiated peace, but victorious peac
based on virtual unconditional surrender
in which the enemy has been eompelle
to give up all demanded, the main pur
pose of the preliminary conference be
ginning early in January is to arrang
common front for the peace Congress
For that reason the conferences goin

FLoUNDERED FOR WEEKS.
British Schooner Pauline Martin Was
Abandoned When Rescuing Ship Came.

New York, Dec. 20-The British
schooner Pauline Martin, leaking and
rudderless, foundered for weeks in ter
rife gales in the mid Atlantic before her
crew was rescued, according to the story
of her skipper, Captain Wayte, and his
six seamen, who arrived here to-day
aboard the Swedish steamship Elizabeth.
The Pauline Martin sailed from Cadiz,
Spain. for St. Johns, ~ f., Nov. s, with
cargo of salt. Encountering heavy
weather, the ship was soon reduced to
belplessness, and her company was about
ready to take to the boats when the Eliz-
abeth hove in sight.
Captain Wayte burned his vessel, a
craft of 29S tons, to prevent her becom-
ing derelict
