Pershnes Soldiers.
With the American Army in France,
Feb. 18.-Several heavy bombs were
dropped in German air raid on an
American field hospital.
The hospital within the American
lines, seemed the especial target of
the German airplane making the at
tack, but by good fortune the hospital
was not struck and there were no
casualties.
The German aeroplane circled about
the American lines in the course of
the attack. The bombs dropped were
unusually heavy. =,
The place where the Germans have
been tapping the American telephone
lines at the front have been discov-
cred and steps have been taken to
prevent these occurrences happening
again. Insulation has been found
scraped off wires at certain places
where the enemy has been listening
In.
One enemy wire actually was found
attached 10 an American wire and
running out across No Mans Land
Just how this was accomplished it is
not permitted to disclose. although
among the men there is talk of spy
hunts"
This tapping of wires at times
causes considerable temporary incon-
venience, fictitious names being used
over the telephone lines for places
and officers. American wires frequent
ly have been connected in some way
with those Of the enemy, and on the
occasion an American officer Is said
to have talked to a German in a list
ening post when he started to use
the telephone. The German made a
few terse remarks and then the con-
nection was broken

TWO CAUSES FOR ]. DELAY IN NAMING
 PEACE DELEGATES
Ambassador Jusserand of France to Accompany MT. Wilson on Trip to At
 tend Conference

Washington, November 9. Delay in the announcement of the names of the American commissioners to the peace conference at VersaillesSis un- derstood to be attributable to two causes. First, that no de- cision has been reached as to the number and, second, that all of the persons whom the President has in mind for places have not yet had an op- .portunity to signify their ac- ceptance.
 It is regarded as desirable that the number of American commissioners cor respond to the number named by each of the great entente powers. Corre- spondence by cable is now going on be- tween Washington and the entente capi- tals with the purpose of coming to a common understanding on this point.
 FEW MEN NEEDED
 The belief obtains in some quarters here that the size of the delegation should be very much restricted. A min imum of as low as three has been con sidered and five seems to meet with some approval. It was said today that although this might appear to be small force with which to undertake the vast amount of important business which is to come before the conference, each del- egation will be provided with a numer- ous staff of experts, capable of dealing with any questions that might arise, a nd that probably better progress could be made towards the conclusion of peace by a limited number of commis- sicners, who might be expected to maintain more intimate relations with one another than would be possible with large gathering.
 In connection with the second cause for delay in announcing the names of the commissioners, 1t was said that some of those invited to act, particular ly those of party utilization opposite that of the President, scarcely would care to accept until they have had an opportunity to study very carefully the instructions by which the commission CTS will be strictly bound.
 Meantime probably no one but Presi- dent Wilson is yet aware of the prob able composition of the American dele

 Among those reaching NikoIask were dozen women who were for meriy nurses in the bOlshevik hos pitaIs at Samara. Many innocent persons were included. There was one man with his wife and children who had been thrown into jail by the bolshevIk. because the husband and father had reused to join the holshevik forces. There was also q girl stenoGrapher who had been sentenced to six days Imprisonment for serving the nOnbolshevik city administration.

The vote was 9 to 8 Senator Gore joining with the seven re- publican members.
 OBJECT TO FIXING LIMIT
 Republicans object to fixing any limit for taxation in 1920 because they expect to control both the Senate and House in the next Congress. Minority mem- bers of the finance committee said to- night they would take their fight to the floor of the Senate and some re- publican leaders have said that If the defnocrats insist upap., bi9 previAion of the revenue bill enactment of the nneas- ure by this Congress may be blocked. 7

UNITED STATES WON
 A GREAT DIPLOMATIC VICTORY IN TERMS
EurOpeanS Statesmen at First Considered Presidents S IA Points With Much
 Skepticism

Paris, November 25.-(By the Associated Press. )-The United States government $ immense diplomatic success in |ehtaifing from the allied gov ernments acceptance of Presi- dent Wilson s points, with only one reservation and addition, 1 is becoming daily more ap- parent, as the preliminaries for the approaching peace con gress arc being outlined largely on the basis of the President s points.
 Col. E. M. House. the special repre- sentative of the United States govern ment. when he arrived here, found lit tie disposition among American and European friends to accept as a totality the framework of peace as expressed by President Wilson. Some European statesmen considered that the points had worked as a good solvent upon Germany; that they had served their great purpose in their effect upon Ger man unity, but that they should not be observed too closely when 1t came to formulating the practical details of the settlement
 NEUTRALITY PROPER
 Allied statesmen plainly put forward the view that as the American tradi- tional policy had been one of detach- ment from European affairs. it was nat ural for the American government, when war broke out in Europe, to con slider it a quarrel among European na- tions and to declare it's neutrality.
 It was pointed out that for two years and half the American government observed its neutrality and called the attention of both groups of belligerents to violations of sea laws. Germany's offenses became intolerable and Amer ica entered into the war both for that reason and because America did have community of ideals of government ard humane rights with the allies America, as became a great country was impelled to put forth great efforts, and she did.
