LAMENT FOR PERFIDY
 OF GERMAN SEAMEN

London, Dec. 23 British Wireless Service) e).-Commenting on the handing over to the British of the German sub marine Us by the crew, who seized this opportunity to earn 800 marks per man paid by Germany as compensation for taking the boat to England, the Cologne Nolks Zeitung says:
 Even when the astounding history of the Russian rubles given to the German peoples deputies was related, we had patience. We had indeed still one consolation. Through this night of universal misfortune the splendor of our armies fame glistened with Friendly radiance never to disappear so long as men walked upon earth. Shall we now be robbed of this consolation in the solitude and silence of our mis- cry? Is it possible in Germany that even red sailors could have sold for 300 marks the last poor remnant of the honor of an undying hero?
 "A British admiral (Beatty) re- uounces the handing over of a U-boat ! which as victor he wishes, with noble gesture, to bestow upon the vanguish- ed, as one is accustomed, to leave his sword to the brave commander of a conquered fortress. Revolutionaries in l German naval uniform prefer we are told, 800 marks. These dishonorable men venture again to tread German soil with their wages of sin.
 Can it really be true? Many a tea1 would flow in the German fatherIand
 So, everything is lost, including honor | We could not then sink lower in the
 estimation of the world-it is impossi- | ble"

WILSON'S ARE TO OCCUPY THE
 PELICAN SUITE" IN LONDON

London, Dec. 23. - The Belgian suiate,'' reserved exclusively for royal guests until now, will be occupied by President and Mrs. Wilson during their stay in London. In the y"ars of it's interesting history it has had within its walls many crowned hra6s, one of the latest, but the least mentioned at Buckingham Palace, being the former German emperor.
 It was given it's name during Queen
 Victoria 5 reign and was always known
 as the house of the king of the Bel gians, when royalty Was entertained here.
 At the request of President Wilson, who evidently found that too much is being crowded into his short stay i'll England, the. proposed dnEleF at han7 1 caster TfoulIa on Saturday night has been eliminated. This was to have been a function only second to the | banquet at Buckingham Palace Fri | day night. Instead of the Lancaster House banquet, Premier Lloyd George will entertain the president at dinner
 Sa turday, to meet the war cabinet
 Much of the regal pomp of Bucking | ham Palace ended at the beginning of the reign of Edward VII but much I was left to be eliminated by the pres
 ent king. It is still far cry, kow- ever, from the formalities of this l palace to those of the White House | The presidential party will consist of five including Rear Admiral Gray | son and two aides

AN EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
 BY TROTSKY ON CZERNIN

London, Dec. 23.-British Wireless Service.) )-Leon Trotsky, tho Russian Bols1evist minister of war and ma rine has made a statement regarding the recent efforts of Count Czernin, former Austro- -Hungarian minister of foreign affaIFG, to excuse Count Czernin for tie part he flayed in-the neggtiation of the Brest-Litovsk treaty.
 Count Czernin," says T~otslzy. 'fn- sists now very strongly uron a differ ence between the policy of Dr. Rich ard Won KuehImann (foriner Ger man foreign seeretary) and his own. We have actually noticed between them some difference, but this differ ence was due simply to the fact that Von Ikuehfnlann comnlaigied45 and Czernin obeyed
 "Czernin now discloses that it was his conviction that it was necessary that Poland. Lithuania and Courtland should themselves determine their fu- ture government In tha Brest-Lit- ovsk negotiations Czernin did not in any way display this conviction. When General Hoffman wanted to express in especially cynical form contempt of the victors for the right cf self de- termination of peoples, E0n Kuehl- mann charged CZernin with this task and CZerni.- carried it out.
 As to ths special pacific proposi- tiors supposed to have been made by Czernn and to have miscacried owing my opposition. no propositions diff fering from those of Won Kuehlmann were made by Czernin either during the official sessions cf the conter- i ences or during the few conversations which he had with me. Short hand re- | ports of the Brest-LitovslI negotia- tions will be published soon."

WHY GERMAN MINISTER VON
 ECKHARDT WAS DISMISSED

Washington, Dec. 2S-An indirect warning from the American govern ment was responsible for the Gecisfon of the German authorities to dispense with the services of the notorious Minister Von Eckhardt at Mexico City. It was learned officially today that d hint was transmitted to Berlin recent Iy that it was difficult to reconcile Eckhardt's continued anti-American and anti-ally propaganda with the new German governments protestations of regard for the United States and re- peated appeals for food supplies.
 It is understood that the German government also has issued orders for the discontinuance generally of anti American propaganda in Mexico.
 An Associated Press despatch from Mexico City Saturday announced the recall of Eckhardt, disclosing that the minister at last had informed the Mexican foreign office although until additional orders were received he ap- parently had been keeping to himself the notice he had received from Ser lin more than five weeks ago through the Mexican ambassador at Washing ton.
 Ambassador Boniras left Washing ton for Mexico City several weeks ago It was explained at the time that he was making trip that haG bean ar 1 ranged long in advance.
