London---O Ornelas Portuguese Monarchist, Is Under
Arrest, According To Dispatches After Battle With
Insurgents When Fifty We're Killed.

London, Jan. 27.--Manuel III, former
king of Portugal, is now in that coun-
try, according to advices received from
Spanish sources today. A Vigo message
said he crossed the Mino river in the
region of Gamma Saturday morning.
Persons close to Manuel in England
denied he had ever left his home here
to join the monarchist rebels.
A dispatch from Lisbon stated that
Premier Barbosa had called upon re-
publican political leaders to assist in
corning a new coalition cabinet. The
situation in the Portuguese capital was
said to have turned in favor of the re-
publieans, although many persons were
killed and wounded on both sides be-
fore order was restored. More than 300
officers have been imprisoned. Direct
communication with Lisbon is still cut
off. Another report was that monarch
list forces were dominating Lisbon and
had revoked all the republican laws.
Troops had been sent from there, it
was said, to Aveiro, Villureal and 9TH

PRf>FNT WILSON
VIShssfVAsTATED
REGIONS OF FRANCE
Went Through Chateau Thier-
ry District And Viewed
Rheims Ruin.
By Robert j. Bender.

Omitted Press StGff Correspondent
Paris, Jan, 27.-President Wilson re-
sumed work on the peace settlement to-
day with the picture of many little
American cemeteries, miles of desolate
countryside and scores of ruined vii
lagos fresh in his mind.
NO one can put into words the i'm
pressions | have received in the midst
of such scenes of desolation and ruin, -
he declared after leaving the skeleton
of the famous Rheims cathedral yester-
day.
President and Mrs. Wilson spent the
day in the devasted area. They left
Paris in an automobile early in the
morning, took lunch at Chateau Thierry
and returned from Rheims by train In
the evening.
Snow fell most of the time. Old
trenches stretched out in thin, white
lines across the country; abandoned
camouflage dropped in funeral wreaths
beside the roads, Piles of abandoned
mats hid their martial identity under
a mantle of white. AT Rheims the snaw
swirled amidst the wrecked buildings
and splotches of it covered the black
ened wounds of the cathedral as though
nature were seeking to hide the van.
dalism of the invaders.
Saw American Graves.
The PRESIDENT s party spent two
hours in the ChateauThierry region
passing through the ruins of Lucy Tor
cy and Boursches. At Vaux Wilsoa
stood on a rise near q score of American
graves, overlooking Belleau wood while
the story Of the fighting in this re-
gion-where the Second division made
hstory-was retold for his benefit.
The aged mayor received the party at
Rheims in rooms with shell pierced wall
and ceilings. The presidnt expressed
deep emotion in response to the mayor =
welcome. The party then went to the
cathedral, passing revercntly through
the ruins.
AS the presidefjswalked by the side
Of Cardinal Lucien, he remarked "it' s
beautiful, even though in ruin. :" The
cardinal presented to him an intact
circular ccnterpiece from one OF tho
cathedral's priceless stained glass win
dows. Half an hour was spent in the
cathedral, looking up at the great
holes in the roof and inspecting Other
damage.
Later the party walked in the streets
adjoining the cathedral which were
bordered by the wrecks of what were
once dwellings. They then motored
through the entire city. Clusters Of
civilians who had returned to take VI
life in the midst of the wreckage OF
war, cheered the presidnt as he passed

Majority Socialists Do Not
Have Enough Seats To Con-
troll National Assembly.
DEMOCRATS PROTEST
AGAINST COALITION
Democrat Platform Almost
Identical With That OF
Majority Socialists.

Bcrne, jan 26.-(Delayed.) Tho
struggle between Prussia and Bavaria
for leadership of the new German re-
public was growing in scope and intens.
ity today.
Dispatches received here indicated
that as soon as representatives of the
various German states went into con
ference yesterday to prepare a consti-
tuition to submit to the national assem-
bly,, the Bavarian ministers attempted
to form coalition against Prussia.
The Bevarianst apparently have al
ready succeededsin lining up Baden,
Wurttcmburg and Hesse. Anhalt and
other duchies are demanding independ-
once from Prussia
The chance of Berlin becoming the
capital of the new republic also ap-
pears to be waning. Sporadic demon
strations by the Spartacans continue
there, giving rise to the belief that Sc
lection Of another city would be more
polite for reasons of safety, even if
10 other element were taken into con
sidcration.
Await Action.
The Bavarian constituent assembly
has decided to await the action Of the
national assembly at Weimar before de-
Gliding upon Bavaris' IS form Of govern
mcnt.
Sailors at Hamburg are reported TO
have refused to allow single ship to
leave until working conditions are i'm
proved.
Latest reports from Berlin showed
the majority socialists will not have
enough seats to control the convention,
even if the Independent socialists re-
turn to the Ebert-Scheidemann fold, as
expected.
Both majority socialists and the cen
trists are bidding strongly for support
OF the democratic delegates. Many
Berlin democratic leaders are said to
be protesting against a coalition with
any socialist party.
Form Agreement.
Inasmuch as it is probable the three
conservative groups-the eentrists, ma
tionalists and conservatives-will form
working agreement, giving them a
bloc of las votes, the democrats will
slold the balance of power in the assem-
bly's deliberations.
The democratic platform is almost
identical with that of the majority So
cialists and party lines between the two
are not very sharply drawn.

various groups are opinions on the ex-

HAVE PLEASANT AUTO TRIP

We people of Delaware do not real
ize the half of the beauty and re-
sources which this Delmarvia PENN
sula possesses, even after reading de-
scriptions Of trips thru this part OF
the market garden Of the eastern
states.
Last week an auto party made up of
Mrs. Dora Garlick, Mrs George Co
baugh, Miss Hattie Lake and their
chauffeur, made a trip through Della
ware to Selbyville via the dupont
Boulevard, thence to Berlin. Nd, and
on over the beautiful concrete roads
to POcOmOke City and Melbourne. Md.
where they stopped with friends over
night. The following morning was
devoted to looking over the town and
Chincoteague Bay, and that afternoon
the party went to Hallwood Va,
where they were served a real shore
dinner, which consisted of oysters in
several styles. delicious fish fresh
from the water the hour previous, and
fried chicken and waffles.
While all Of this was pleasant and
greatly enjoyed, yet the observation
of the various methods practiced in
Virginia farming afforded much in
teresting speculation.
The potato barrels sitting in the
fields awaiting packing to go to mar
ket, dotted the landscape as far as
the eye could see and these barrels
were for both the white as well as
the sweet potatoes which were being
dug and hauled to railroad stations
to be sold to buyers, and then they
go away in long trains loaded solid
with potatoes.
The country is prosperous and the
homes show that fact, and every man
md woman who lives on this peninsula
should make the trip for the purpose
)f learning just what a fine country
we live in.

hree hours after leaving Franklin City .

the purpose cf demonstrating to the
people of the peninsula and adjacent
territory that ability to care for their
purchasing demands with a greater
advantage to the purchasers than can
be secured by trading with business
houses in other cities. 1t is believed
by them that Wilmington is the lobi-
cal trade center for this State, and for
the contiguous territory of Maryland,
Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and
that itse development along this line
will be of great benefit to the people
of the entire section.
Every merchant in Wilmington is
cooperating in the effort to demon
strate to the people of Delaware and
the surrounding territory that they
can save time and money and receive
greater satisfaction through making
their purchases in Wilmington than
elsewhere. Buyers for Wilmington
stores have been combing the whole
sale markets for weeks to secure the
best possible offerings possible for this
week. The arrangements have been
made under the auspices of the Mer-
camille Section of the Chamber of
Commerce. and everything will be
lone to make visitors welcome and
heir visits profitable to themselves.
While in no sense are the Whining
on merchants entering into competi-
ion with the local merchants of other
owns, they feel that there is a steady
stream of trade which passes their
loors, and it is their determination to
demonstrate thoroughly that in cases
where purchasers cannot secure what
hey want in their home towns, they

and other expense, and .
