George Washington 10
Leave for France
April IL.

New York, April S.-The sailing
date of President Wilson's steamer,
tie George Washington, has been
advanced from April IA TO April L
which is Friday. next
Washington, April Sin an
i.ouncing today that the p-esiden-
tial transport. the George Washing
ton. would sail from New York for
brest on next Friday instead of
next Monday. the date originally
fixed for her departure, Assistant
Secretary Roosevelt disclosed that
the change had been made as the
result of a cablegram yesterday
from Admiral Benson at Paris in
curing when the ship could sail.
She should arrive at the French
port about April II.
Roosevelt Explains.
Yesterday when word came from
Paris that the president had de-
termined there must be an end to
delays at the peace conference ana
had ordered the transport to
France. navy department officials
said no new orders had been issued
and that the ship was preparing 10
sail according to schedule, on Mon
day. April IA. The Benson message
changed this situation very quickly.
Communication with the New York
navy yard. where the George Wash
ington is undergoing overhauling.
brought report that she could be
made ready for sea by Friday and
she was ordered out then.
Mr.. Roosevelt said today Admiral
Benson's message did not go into
simply asked about the date of de-
parture. He explained that the ship
would have sailed on March IS, but
that it was decided to make some
repairs and that the tentative SAIL
ing date then was fixed for next
Monday.
The George Washington should
reach Brest by April 90 Whether
she will make a return trip with
soldiers before the president re-
turns home will be determined upon
her arrival overseas. Mr.. Roosevelt
said if this voyage were made, it
would be May 10, or Goth, before
the vessel could get back to Brest.
So far as could be learned today.
no information has been received at
the White House or any other Of
fetal quarters about the situation
which dispatches from France IN
dicate had arisen there Officials
declare their belief that
the president had no idea of leaving
Paris prematurely, and that the IN
quiry about the transport was
merely d precaution to insure the
presence of the ship when the presi-
dent is ready to return home.
