ORIGINAL PROGRAM STANDS
PRESIDENT REMAINS FIRM ON
FREEDOM OF SEAS.
American Officials in Paris Believe
There Are No Differences on
Principles Involved.

Paris, Jan. 1.-The Presidents trip
Co England has resulted in no change
or deviation from his original pro-
gram on the general principle Of the
freedom of the seas.
The Presidents so.called coalition
with Lord Northcliffe has not been
brought about by any Wilsonian back
down on the free seas proposals, it is
said. ,.-~
Viscount Northcliffe has long been
an advocate of the league of nations.
He has not even opposed German
membership since it has been clear
that the German military machine is
wrecked. He has not, however, COM
mitted himself to Wilson's ideas Of
freedom of the seas.
American officials here expressed
the belief that when the full signifi-
canoe of Premier Clemenceau's dec
laration before the chamber of depu-
ties becomes apparent there will not
be any differences in the principles
involved.
The impression apparently is grow
ing that the progress in disposing Of
the details of questions regarding
peace conditions has been so satisfac-
tory that the actual sessions of the
conference have been appreciabfy
shortened.

Raised.

London Papers Are Uneasv.

London, Jan. 2-Newspapers give
great prominence to, the speech of
Premier ClemenceaH before the
French chamber of deputies and Pres
fdent Wilson's address at Manchester.
BY their headlines and by placing in
juxtaposition the striking passages
and by their comment the newspapers
reveal a certain uneasiness in con-
sequence of the apparent divergence
between M. Clemenceau and Mr.. Viii.
son. There is an obvious endeavor,
however, tolavoid anything suggesting
the existence Of q disagreement.

AMERICAN TROOPS
RE0CCuPY k.u |. !
n ~ -
ENCOUNTER STRONG RESIST.
ANcE TO THEIR SUDDEN
b.. ATTACK IN SIBERIA.
SECURE WINTER QUARTERS
Advance Was Undertaken SimuItane-
ously With Forward Movement
Southwark by Allied Troops
Along Omega River.

Archangel, JAM 2-American troops
recaptured the village of Kudish on
the middle sector Of the Northern Rus
sian front and pushed forward their
lines a distance of two miles south of
the village in the direction of Vologda.
This winters push, which was
against strong resistance, was under
taken simultaneously with a move
ment southwark by tho Allied troops
along the Omega river. The Omega
column rested at the village of Gogolf.
The 1ecapture of Kadish was
marked by some heavy fighting in
which, however, the American casual
ties were light. This village, which
is located about midway between the
Volegda railway and the Dvina river,
was strongly defended and the Boil
sheviki there used their blockhouses
built by the Americans and British
when they occupied the town in No.
vember, prior to being driven out by
large forces of Bolsheviki.
Artillery Begins Attack. .:
Beginning with an artillery attack
the Americans advanced across the
frozen Emtsa river where their posi-
tions have for more than a month
been located in icy dugouts on the
bank of the stream bordering the de-.
stroyed bridge at the crossing of the
Petrograd road. They crossed the
stream and cleared the Bolshevik
trenches and machine gun emplace-
ments on the opposite bank. The
Americans then pushed forward two
miles to the village, fighting their way
under the protection of Canadian ar
tillery, which was able to place shells
almost at will in Kadish The fur-clad
American flanking parties in the frozen
swamps bordering on the road con-
stributed materially to the American
success.
The recapture of Kadish gives the
American troops good winter posi-
ton in the blockhouses they have
built. Since the retirement from the
town early in November the troops
on this sector had virtually no shelter,
the front line being unable to build
fires for fear of the artillery and
snipers on the opposite bank of the
narrow Emtsa river.

PRESIDENT wilson
BOUND FOR ITALY
AMERICAN EXECUTIVE WILL Be
THE GUEST OF KING
VICTOR EMMANUEL.
PLANS VISIT TO VATICAN
important Results Are Expected From
Conferences in Rome With kiaa,
Premier and Foreign
Minister.

Paris, Jan. 2.-President Wilson IL
en- route to Rome, where he will be
the guest of King Victor Emmanuel.
During his stay in the Italian CAPT.
tai he will visit the Pope and also the
Methodist college and will continue
his conference with the King, Premier
Orlando and Baron Sonnino, the for
eign minister. Important results are
expected from this visit, which will be
the last to the Allied countries before
the beginning of the peace conference
Quiet New Years Dinner.
There was a. quiet family New
Years dinner at the Murat mansion.
No business was put before the Presi-
dent. His only departure from the
injunction of Admiral Grayson to de-
vote the day to complete relaxation
and repose came when he received
New Years call from President and
Madame Poincare and later visited
Col. E. NJ. House, with whom he had
q conference. Beyond this he had no,
appointments.
The conferences in Rome with the
Italian statesmen will, in sense, be
q continuation of those held here when
King Victor Emmanuel visited Paris
and the President also talked with
Premier Orlando and Foreign Minister
Sonuing. The results of President
Wilson's conference with the British
premier, David Lloyd George, and For
eign Minister Balfour, which have not
yet been fully disclosed, probably will
have an important relation to the con-
tinuation OF the conferences with the
Italian leaders.
Machinery Is Organized.
The working machinery Of the
American commission has been thor
oughly organized during the Presi-
dents absence in England and every:
thing is practically ready to. begin
business when he returns from Italy
There appears no reason for altering
the forecast made four weeks ago,
that President Wilson intends to be
back in Washington before the closing
of the American Congress on March
4, or that, if necessary, he will return
to France early in the spring to con-
tinue his work. There are, however,
some indications that the Presidents
hope that his return will not be neces-
sary may be realized.

AMERICAN OCCUPATION
ARMY IN GOOD HEALTH
Less Than One Per Cent of the Sol.

Sick List.

American Headquarters in Ger:
many, Jan: 1.-THE army of occupa.
ton is in better health than the folks
back home. For the few who are sick,
there are the best of hospital facili.
ties.
Despite their 200-mile march
through mud and rain, the soldiers
average less than one i'll man in 100
from any cause, according to Colonel
Glissinger, chief surgeon. This sick
rate is thus under 1 per cent, accord.
ing to Colonel Glissinger, which is
about one-half the normal percentage
in civilian life.

WAR GAMES AND MANEUvERS
Daniels Tells House Committee That
After Every Conflict There 10
Tendency for the Navy to
Retrograde.

Washington, Jan. ITO, keep the
navy eft and on its toes" two fleets,
one based on the Pacific coast and the
other on the Atlantic coast, will be es'
tab!ished by next summer with war
games and joint maneuvers as part OF
q regular program of training.
Secretary Daniels, in explaining his
plans to the House naval committee,
said that after every war there was
q tendency for the navy to retrograde
and that the fleet division has been
determined upon to prevent any
slump. The plan, he said, had re-
ceived the enthusiastic Endorsement OF
Admiral William S. Benson, chief OF
operations, who is now in Europe with
the peace delegation.
An admiral who can stay long
enough to stir up ambition will be
placed in command of each feet, Mr..
Daniels said, and all officers will be
kept on their ships for two years. In
effect, the secretary added, there will
be a war between the Atlantic and
Pacific fleets, which will so stimulate
the keenness that it will make the
men feel they are in actual war;"
May Divide Equally.
Mr.. Daniels did not indicate to the
committee how many ships would be
in each fleet. It is assumed, however
that there will be an equal distribu
ton of the capital ships, most OF
which heretofore have been kept on
the Atlantise coast. During joint ma
neuvers the combined fleet will visit
each coast so as to give the people Gu
the Atlantic and Pacific seaboards an
opportunity to see the full naval force
Mr.. Daniels also told the committee
that during peace times the submarine
bases at San Diego, CAL, Key West
Fla, and New London, Conn, and the
air defense stations at San Diego and
Pensacola, Fla, would be retained.
The principal training stations for sea
men will be at Chicago, Hampton
Roads and Newport, R. I.
Secretary Daniels and Admiral Ben
son plan to visit the Pacific coast
next summer to study conditions there
with view to recommending extern
sion of navy yards, while other Off.
Gals will visit Eastern yards for the
same purpose. In this connection the
secretary recommended that congress
wait until it's next session before pro-
viding funds for additions to the yards
as the present plants can care fol
both fleets for some time.

"The war which is ending is a war

And then there's Ireland.

The marines are a source Of pride
and glory to Uncle Sam. They are vol
unteers. This does not lessen the appre-
citation due to the mon called under the
selective draft, Who, did their duty

it does puncture the buncombe of those
who use the draft as an argument for
universal military service.

because member of certain politico-

for a hideous crime, everyone who held
such views might likely commit such
a crime. THAT is as silly as the other

body in the capitol gangster simply
because they happen to be there.
