como TO Paderewski Con-
tinues for Several Hours

LO-NOcN, bec- I9.-F lrlng by Ger
man officers on an Allied automobile
carrying an American flag was the
cause of street fighting in Posen last
Friday, says a dispatck to the Exchange
Telegraph Company from Copenhagen.
The Germans were defeated in the
fighting. About 1873 persons, including
4 number of women and children, were
Killed during the rioting.
The dispatch says:
There was severe lighting between
the Poles and Germans in Posen on Fri
DAY, which resulted in thirty-eight
women and children and about one
hundred Germans and Poles being
killed The affray started when Ger
man officers fired on an Allied auto
mobile which was proceeding to War
saw, carrying the American flag.
Battle Lasts Several Hours
The Germans insulted the flag and
the Polish guard was called out The
sighting lasted several hours and the
Germans were defeated.
"A delegation from the British mis-
sion to Posen protested to the German
commander in the town, General Schim-
melfeng, but the German officer de-
clared that he had no control over the
soldiers.'
WARSAW, Dec. % by The Associ-
sted Press).-A Polish official report
concerning the riot in Posen on the ar
rival of Ignace Jan Paderewski, who is
on his way here, says the trouble began
when Allied and American flags were
hoisted over the City Hall.
The Germans demanded that the flags
he hauled down. The Poles refused to
acquiesce, whcreupon the Germans
brought up machine guns and began
iiring in the streets, driving back the
crowds and dispensing the Polish
troops.
Finally the German Officials took
down the flags. Meanwhile the Poles
reasscmbled and began to return the
German fire. The fighting continued

Britain Snubs Germans
The Germans provoked another in

from circulating in the streets. They
called on the British Colonel Wade and
told him that if Paderewski was per
nittcd TO 90 about it would be the
cause of trouble between the Polish
and German populations. Colonel
Wade made no answer. He merely
turned his back on the Germans and
got into motor car with Paderewski.

created much enthusiasm here. The

PARIS, Dec. % (By The Associated
Press).-The storm which has been
in the French Chamber Of

this afternoon, when Stephen Pichon,
Minister of Foreign Affairs, amid vio-
lent Interruptions by the Socialists
and counter demonstrations by the
government supporters, outlined
Frances peace terms.
He declared:

Cachin, of Friday, when he asked
Premier Clemenceau to state whether
secret diplomacy would be abandoned
in the peace conference and the dis
cussions given publicity

nent has adopted the principle of a
league Of nations and is now busy
working toward its effective reali-

not desire any annexation, but re-
serves the right to fix the Alsace-
Lorraine frontiers to guard against
future attack. thus replying to NJ
Franklin -Bouillon.

not think that the question of jiplo-
matte representation of the Vatican
arises at the present moment.
Fifth-That intervention in Russia
is inevitable.

that the opponents of Premier Gle

OF 1919 unless the government statec

mier Clemenceau or NJ. Pichon. But
it was not expected that the govern

NJ. Franklin Boullon, of the Commit
tee Of Foreign Affairs, brought mat
ters to head by violent attack upon
NJ. Pichon and the governments for
eign policy.
Since Thursday the government
bench had sat in obdurate silence, re

Williams Is only seventeen years

minutes later the Germans sent one at

which was full Of bcnzine, causing Il
to explode and set fire to the whole

the gun and We began To run along
the ground. As We neared hying

until the tail raised from the ground,
then brought Il back to neutral to pre-

we reached flying speed the machine
lifted from the ground. There wa.
nothing to indicate to me that we had

or unless Il was the fact that II was
much smoother riding.
We circlcd the field, rising to about
300 feet. When we made the turns,
the instructor turned the wheel In the

der slightly IN the same direction. The
machine banked AMI seemed TO turn
with the lower wing tip rs pivot.
In reality we were making gradual

When the instructor cut of the
power and noscd the machine down
for the landing I had my first strange
sensation. The machine seemed to
drop from under me and my stomach
seemed TO try TO climb my windpipe.
We glided swiftly toward the ground,
fiattening the glide as the ground ap.
preached until we were gliding four
or five feet from the ground and par
allel TO II. The machine gradually
settled. Just before the wheels touch

tail skid touched the ground at the

stopped. The landing, by the way, Is
agreed 10 be the hardest thing TO learn
