CONVOY BOAT IS
MISTAKEN FOR j;
ONE SEAMAN DEAD
Naval Guard on American
Liner Fires on u, S, De-
stroyeri Few Details Given
of Accident.
lay MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wrsrl


Washington, March 16.-William
Lusso. seaman of an American de-
stroyer in the war zone, was killed
and three others of the ships crew
slightly wounded last January 16
when the armed naval guard on an
American liner fired on the conveying
destroyer after mistaking her in the
darkness for an enemy submarine,
In making known late today the
navy department said Vice Admiral
Sims had named a court of inquiry
which is making a thorough investi-
cation. When the liner reached her
destination, the master gave a COM
plete account of the accident to Ad-
miral Sims, but it has not been made
public, nor has there been any an
nouncement as to the extent of the
ramage to the destroyer
In Details Given.
Admiral Sims report on the accident
was sent to the department by mail,
but the name of the seaman was ca
bled when the destroyer reached port,
the dispatch merely saying that he
had been killed in an accident" and
it was so announced by the depart
ment.
In the absence of details, officials
of the navy department hestitated to
comment on the case. It was suggest
ed, however that the destroyer might
have run out of the place assigned her
in the convoy and thus aroused the
suspicion Of the gun crew
Resembles U-BOat.
Under certain atmospheric condi-
tions or at night ,one OF the new type
destroyers might easily appear to be
a large submarine, her mast being
about the same height and the flush
deck hull being almost awash in a
choppy sea.
So far as known this was the first
accident of its kind among American
vessels in the war zone, but some
months ago an American warship in
the Mediterranean fired on an italian
submarine after it had failed to re-
veal its nationality when signalled to
do so by the American. One man on
the submarine was killed and another
wounded

The German officers also were
fond of chickens and geese and con-

Altogether it appears as if the

providing nothing happens to the

Nevertheless the mess sergeants
have assured the officers and men
that nearly everything is on hand for

NEXTWEEK
President Wilson Expected to

Delegation in His Ad-

By Associated Press.

Washington, Nov. 27.-President
Wilson's plans for attending the
peace conference are all matured
with the exception of the day and
hour of sailing. His departure, how
ever, is certain early next week.
1t is entirely probable that the
first announcement of the personnel
of the American delegation will be
made in the presidents address to
the opening of congress, which will
be delivered Monday or Tuesday
At the same time the president may
take occasion to make something in
the nature of a statement to the
country, as we'll as to congress, on
his going to Europe, something no
other president has ever done.
Censorship Removed.
The most important announcement
that has yet been made in connection
with the official plans for the peace
conference came today. 1t was that
there would be absolutely no CEN
sorship on the news which the Am
erican newspaper correspondents
send back home At the personal
request of President Wilson both the
British and French governments
will entirely relax all censorship
on all American newspaper
dispatches telling of the delibera-
tions. Furthermore, to facilitate the
transmission of news to this country
the government, through its recently
acquired control of the cable lines,
will give news a preference in trans
mission second only to government
official business. News will take
preference over all commercial bus
mess on the cable lines.
George Creel, chairman of the
committee on public information,
also announced today that the COM

212 AIRPLANES
IN FLYING PARADE
GUIDED BY RADIO
Device Invented by Nebraska
Man Used to Control Great
Number of Machines
in Exhibition.

San Diego, Cal, Nov. 27.-While
thousands of spectators stood thrill
ed in the streets below, 2l2 air
planes from the government flying
fields near here passed today in a
great air parade to commemorate
the achievements of Americas air
men in France. While the majestic
sweep of the machines, including
practically all classes used in train
ing in this country, and the "stunts"
of eight daring fliers appealed per-
haps most to the crowds, what most
interested Lieut. Burwell, who
is in charge of the fields and who
planned the affair, was the fact that
every machine returned without an
accident The flight lasted more
than two hours.
The machines were controlled in
the air by radio-telephonlc conmunl-
cation. The apparatus was invented
at Rockwell Field, near here, it was
announced, by Col. Clarence c. Gull
yer, and it was also said that this
was the first time in the history Of
aviation that so many planes were
directly controlled by voice.
1t was estimated that the 2l2 ma
chimes covered a total distance of
$4,000 miles, remaining in the air
an aggregate of 424 hours.
