Editors Tales
Of Allied Row
Much Alike
Kent and Rook Say Same
Things; Baker Makes
a Denial

Two newspaper editors, using almost
identical phraseology and verbal twists,
yesterday informed New Workers. that
the stage was being set against Amer
ica at the peace conference and that
French and British politicians are
preparing for trough tumble" ses-
sions of that body.
The two articles, apparently coming
from widely different sources, ad-
vanced the same arguments in the
same words to show that unless Presi-
dent Wilson went to the Versailles
conference these "politicians" would
have things their own way, and that
the people of all of the European ma
tions who look to Wilson as their ad-
vocate would not be properly repre-
sented.
One statement, three column arti-
Gle, from the pen of Frank R. Kent,
managing editor of "The Baltimore
Sum-" was telegraphed to "The New
York Times" The other, appearing as
an interview with Colonel Charles A.
Rook, editor in chief of "The Pitts
burgh Dispat h" was published in "The
New York Herald"
The editors we've members of the
party of newspaper men who returned
Friday after several weeks in Europe
Colonel Rook, at the Astor, said last
night that the similarity of the two
statements was due to the fact that he
and Mr.. Kent had taken up the matter
contained in them on their trip home.
He said that the views expressed were
their own, and not those of anybody
they might have seen abroad.
"The Baltimore American" says to-
day:
Possibly merely by chance is the
coincident announced that Henry
White, of Baltimore, will be the Re
publican to be named on the peace
commission from this country. Mr.
Whites son is one of the owners of
THE Baltimore Sum- which, through
out the war has been q sort of 'me-too'
newspaper for the Democratic admin
istration.''
In Washington the stories created a
good deal of surprise. Commenting on
the statement made in the "Sun" ar
ticle that Pershing had had disagree
ments with the Allied commanders.
Secretary Baker said:
II have not read the story and can
make no comment on its contents. I
happen, however, to be able from per-
sonal observation to say that the re-
lations between General Pershing, Mar
shall Foch, General Petain and Marshal
Haig were cordial, sympathetic and in
every way happy. I did not see Mar
shall Haig on my last trip to Europe.
but did see General Pasain and Cen
eral Pershing together seseral times

latioris were as ! have described them
to be.

LONDON, Nov. 28.-At Berlin
meeting Of the Soldiers and Work
mems Council, Herr Barth, Secretary
for Social Policy in the Ebert ministry,
declared that counter revolution was
in full swing, according to q Copen-
hagen dispatch to the Exchange Tele-
graph Company.
Several generals have issued coun-
ter revolutionary proclamations and
have attempted to dissolve the Sol
diers' and Workmen's councils.
Herr Barth said the chief army COM
mand had been ordered to come to
Berlin, and that the dismissal Of Cen
eral Eberhard had been demanded
owing to the arrest of members of
the Soldiers and Workmen's Coun-
ella on the Western frpnt.
No reply had been received, Herr
Barth continued, but if the order is
disregarded the chief army command
will be arrested.
Bavaria has broken relations with
the Berlin government, according to a
Munich message transmitted by the
Central News correspondent at Copen-
hagen.
The Munich dispatch states that q
message has been sent to the Berlin
Foreign Office by Kurt Eisnor the Pa

America Observes the Day
More in Deep Reflection
Than in Feasting
Churches Filled
BY Sober Throngs
Gray Skies Reflect Sincere
Gratitude of Nation Re-
membering Gallant Dead

America celebrated yesterday the
greatest Thanksgiving Day in her his
tory. After the frenzy Of celebration,
after the first exultant confusion Of
victory, city and nation seemed to turn
to a graver. deeper gratitude.
For the first time in many years
New York observed the day less as a
time for feasting and more as a season
for prayer and solemn rejoicing.
Pumpkin pies and other delicacies of
the season were present on the tables
of almost every home, even though
that rara avis, the turkey, was miss
ing in many instances. This phase of
Thanksgiving Day was not forgotten,
but it was in it's churches that the city
gave chief recognition to the day.
Blue skies and brilliant sunshine
had welcomed the news that the
armistice had been signed and
that the terrific struggle in Europe
had come to an end. Yesterday
was gray day the gray of half
mourning-and under sober skies New
York, with the memory of its gallant
dead ever in mind, held its festival
of Thanksgiving for what their lives
had bought.
Churches everywhere were crowded
and many who attended were not mem
bers of regular congregations. In
great part sectarian lines were oblit-
Grated by the character of the cele-
bration, and in some instances Epis-
copalians, Baptists, Presbyterians and
members Of other churches joined
forces and gave thanks together.
In the Cathedral Of St. John the
Divine and in old Trinity the services
Of Thanksgiving were frightened by
banners of the Allies, carried in the
procession of the choir, and hundreds.
Of soldiers and sailors mingled with
those who knelt to thank God for de-
liverance. In Trinity Major General
J.. Franklin Bell, commander of the
Department Of the East, was one of
the speakers.
If man in uniform within the
limits Of New York City went without
his turkey dinner yesterday it was be-
cause he refused to eat. The citv
proved that it had learned thoroughly
the lesson of hospitality to our fight
ing men. The War Camp Community
Service worked all day long, trying to
find enough soldiers and sailors to

Vienna to Try Charles,
Archdukes and Others
Who Started War
Count Czernin Among
Those to Face Jurv
Graft Also Charged to the
Former Ruler and High
State Officers

LONDON, Nov. 2s. - The Entente
Allies have decided TO demand that
Holland surrender the former Emperor
of Germany to justice, according to
"The Daily Express"
The Vienna government intends
to bring to trial all persons re-
sponsible for the war, including
Count Berchtold, Hungarian
Foreign Minister when the war broke
out, and Count Czernin, Foreign Min
lister at a later period, according to an
Exchange Telegraph dispatch from
Copenhagen to-day.
Former Emperor Charles, the Aus
trian archdukes and a number of
generals are also to be tried, accord
ing to these advices.
Would Publish Hungary's Secrets
BERLIN, Nov. 27 (By The Associated
Press). - The German-Austrian Ma
tional Council is negotiating with the
Hungarian and Czech governments to
obtain their cooperation in the publica-
ton Of diplomatic pre-war documents
and in an investigation into the re-
sponsibility for and conduct Of the war,
the Vienna correspondent of the "Vos-
sische Zeitung" reports.
Recent revelations have been made, he
says, to the effect that former Emperor
Charles had secretly drawn 100000
crowns on the army account, while
charges involving Archduke Frederick
and other high officers in connection
with army contracts also are to be
looked into.
The diplomatic investigation will be
directed chiefly against Count Berch-
told, who was Austo-Hungarian For
eign Minister when war broke out, and
Count Czernin, later the occupant of
that office, the latter being accused
of summarily rejecting alleged Amer
lean peace proposals in the fall of 1917
and at the beginning of the present
year.
The statement made in the Bavarian
disclosures to the effect that the late
Count Tisza, then Hungarian Premier,
was opposed to the hostile tone of the
Austro Hungarian ultimatum to Serbia
is said to conform to the facts. Count
Stuergkh, the Austrian Premier, on the
other hand, is represented as having
proceeded in the manner of a ruthless
dictator.

~ .~ q
Sailing Time Is
Still Kept Secret
Expected to Depart
ON the Day After
His Address to
Congress

WASHINGTON, Nov. % (By The AS
soclated Press).-The impression is
growing among those who have talked
with President Wilson about the peace
conference that the American delega-
ton Will be limited to three members
and speculation over the personnel mas
ABOUT narrowed down to these names.
ROBERT LANSING, Secretary of
State.
HENRY WHITE, Ambassador to
france and to Italy under the Nc
hlnley administration.
EDWARD NJ. HOUSE.
lhere has been no announcements
and there may be none before the
President addresses Congress next
week, but it was said tonight that
White House callers had been piven
to understand that these men would
be the American envoys. 1t also was
indicated very definitely that reports
of the President having decided to sit
at the peace table himself as a dele
gate were untrue.
Not to Sit as Delegate
He goes to take part in the great
preliminary meetings of the heads of
the associated governments and to see
the formal conferences under way. but
not to serve as q delegate.
In addition to the accredited dele
gates there will be a large party, in
cluding, besides the military, naval,
diplomatic and economic experts. other
specialists in the multitudinous ques-
tions to be dealt with Among them
will be men Of high rank, prepared to
participate iii discussions that will take
place outside Of the formal conference
and in position below only the accred-
tied delegates, who, it is assumed, will
take ambassadorial rank.
Sailing Time Still Secret
The exact time of the Presidents
sailing for Europe apparently still is
unknown to any one except the Pres-
dent himself He is expected to depart
the day after he addresses the new ses-
sion Of Congress, beginning Monday,
and the address usually is delivered
the second day Of the session.
President Wilson and Mrs. Wilson
to-day attended the Central Presby-
terian Church where simple services
were conducted by the pastor, the Rev.
Dr.. James H. Taylor. who read the
Presidents Thanksgiving proclamation
before preaching the sermon.
DR.. Taylor said to-day marked the
most striking Thanksgiving IN the his
tory of the world, and that it sees the
world enter upon the postwar period,
which, he said, "has responsibilities.
problems, ideals and visions all its
own"
President Wilson did not leave the
White House after returning from
church. Only members of the family
were present for dinner, and the Presi-
dent later spent several hours working
on his address which he will deliver
before starting for Europe to attend
the peace conference

Nitrogen Bacteria
There is fine opportunity for those
anxious to make more leguminous
foods and feedstuffs to the acre, in.
the use Of nitrogen bacteria which the
Georgia Department of Agriculture
is furnishing TO the farmers of this
state at actual cost of production
20 cents per acre.
The Department has had hundreds
of letters from Georgia farmers tel
ling them CT the splendid results OBJ
tanned through the use of this bacteria
Releasing the nitrogen in the soil for
plant consumption, it is wonderfully
effective in increasing the yield.
Georgia farmers desiring this bac-
terra for leguminous crops, should
state il writing to the Department
the number OF acres they expect to
plant, and the nature Of the crop, as
there is a slight difference in the bac
terra used under different products.
