Being aware that it is my duty to
enforce the laws of the United
States said the Attorney General. Il
had already instituted Investigations
of these meetings before the Senate
resolution was received. Representa-
tivesa the department of Justice
were present at the meeting at Polls
Theater and 1 am in possession of
rather full stenographic notes Of all
that occurred. What I consider ac-
curate reports of the meeting of the
Sd are also in my possession. / be-
iieve that my department is accurate
ly informed as to the speeches made,
the names of the speakers and every
thing of Importance that occurred on
these two occasions. These data have
been and are receiving proper consid-
Grafton. / shall take such action as
in my judgment is warranted.
..rhe resolution states that the
speakers at the meeting advocated the
subversion of the government of the
United States by force and violence
Such advocacy would, of course. be a
violation of the laws of the United
States. The Attorney General will ap-
preciate it if the Senate will transmit
to him the evidence on which this
s..-.c-2ent is based"

President Adopts Viewpoint.

At the afternoon sitting President
Wilson is declared to have adopted
the same viewpoint, affirming that
all the allies were agreed on that
point and that Emergencies which
cropped up during previous discus
sions bore solely on the most suit
able methods of obtaining the neces-
sary guarantees.
President Wilson. according to the
report. is understood to have de-
clared in conversation that a resump-
ton of hostilities was a grave eventu-
ality to which he would agree only
on the most absolutely essential
considerations and not for any sec
ondary motive.
The report states that in Mr.. Will
sons opinion the non-execution of
terms of the armistice by Germany
would be an incident of such a nature
as to justify the resumption of war,
and it is stated that he would not
hesitate in that case to order the
American Army to take up arms
again.

report, that the armistiee with Ger
many will be renewed on February IL

reserving the right to suspend it at
any time in the event of Germany's

vide that the Germans must cease hos

their forces within fixed limits.
During the brief period of the re-

an armistice which will last until the
signature of the peace preliminaries.
Huns Must Demobilize.
These conditions, which the supreme
war council is reported to have ap-
proved in a rough form yesterday
afternoon. have in view, it is said, the
rehabilitation of the German army
and the disarmament of the enemy
under the supervision OF the aiiles.
These terms, il is understood, VIII be

desirable precautions against Ger
many.

TWO WILLS.

For a few days Loria stayed in Cal
TO. and devoted all his time to the
amusement and entertainment of Paul
inc. Together they visited the sphinx
and the great pyramids. Together
they made trips to Old Cairo and to
the ostrich farm. Together they saw
the little petrified forest. But the inn
mediate sights of Cairo, the tombs,
mosques and bazars, Loria told her,
she could visit with Mrs. Macdonald
or with their dragoman, after he and
Ahri had gone on their trip up the
Nile.
Pauline was happy. At Carr's re-
quest she had endeavored to put out
of her mind the horrors she had been
through. Frightened at the suspicious
directed toward herself, fearing that
she could not successfully combat
them-and. for another reasonable
had fed to Egypt, and her cousins
protection. This other reason she had
, almost dismissed from her mind. and
she gave herself up to the enjoyment
of the novelty and interest Of her pres
ent situation.
After their sightseeing each day,
they returned for tea on the terrace at
Shepherds or went to Ghezireh Pal
. ace for it, or to the house of soma
friend. Dinner was always a pleasant
affair, and they had frequent guests
and were often invited out.
AS Pauline was wearing mourning,
no large social affairs were attended.
and under Mrs. MacDonald's guidance
the girl pursued her happy way.
