TO SEE DEVASTATION
Rx Assnciated Prsss


 Paris, Friday, January 24.-President Wilson on Sunday will have his first view of the havoc wrought in northern France by the Germans. On that day he will make the first of a series of short trips by going to Rheims, from which be will tour the surrounding district in an army motor car.
 Later the President expects to make another visit to the battle area He will go on a Sunday or some other day be- tween the sessions of the peace confer ence.
 The President will take very small party It will include Mrs. Wilson, Rear Admiral Grayson and French army officer familiar with the field and miii- tary operations and who will explain the situation to the President as they go along.
 Although the President has been strong ly urged by the French authorities to visit the devastated districts as one of the first events of his visit to France, he has not considered that he has had the time until now. His views on the question of reparation by Germany have been fairly well defined by those about him and what effect, if any, his visit to the ruined regions may have on him opin- ions in that regard is the subject of lively discussion among Frenchmen.

RESUMED POSITION

1mm ediately after the cessation or gun flashes the cruiser quit firing.
 Not knowing the Ticonderoga had fallen out of the convoy, the statement continued, the Galveston returned to her position, and in checking up the ships later it was found the transport was missing.
 "The commanding officer states that due to the large number of men in the engineers force who were sick with in- f1uenza," Secretary Daniels said, 4ft had been necessary to reduce his boiler power and if he remained absent from the convoy any great length of time he would be unable to rejoin and the submarine would therefore have good opportunity of attacking the other ves- sels of the convoy"
 That he did not know the ship at- tackled was from his convoy and that it was his first duty to remain with the large number of ships in the convoy rather than to remain longer with the ship being attacked and that he thought she had chance to escape.
 "The commanding officer stated that his general instructions were that, if enc or more ships in convoy are tor pedoed or mined the ocean escort is to proceed with her convoy
 Survivors of the Ticonderoga report ed that during the night of Septemb CT 29-30 the vessel had dropped out of her position because of difficulty in main taining steam and speed.

Report That Cruiser Calves ton Failed to Give Ade- quate Protection Denied
 by Daniels
By Associated Press

Washington, January 25-Published reports that the cruiser Galveston had failed to give adequate protection to the American trasport Ticonderoga, sunk by a German submarine September 30. last. caused Secretary Daniels to issue a statement tonight, describing how the ship was destroyed, as reported by the commanding officer of the cruiser, and stating that a court of inquiry was investigating.
 The statement set forth that the Galveston, acting as escort for 14 ves- sels 1400 miles off the British coast. was ahead and on the right flank, and that the cargo carrier Feltore was known to be two miles south of the convoy. Shortly before daylight the Galveston, seeing gun flash on the starboard side five or six miles away, and thinking "the Fe1tore was being attacked. changed her course, ran to ward the flash and opened fire with 6 fve-inch gum"
 The commanding officer reported that a few minutes later the Galveston saw a second set of gun flashes, which were very close together, "and made it dan gerous to continue firing due to the possibility of hitting a friendly ves- sell"

the teacher has thirty or forty. The

mass results.
By watching your child daily YOU
will detect his little difficulties before
