PARIS, April 10.-Beyond confirming
the news that the George Washington
is due to leave New York in forty-eight
hours, the American peace delegation
and President Wilson's press repre-
sentativcs maintain an attitude OF
studied mystery. Yesterday the world
was invited to "sIeculate' regarding
the reason for the sudden IS. o. s.
call for the George Washington. Today
the spcculatIons of those who inter-
preted Mr. Wilson's unexpected move as
threat 10 leave Paris unless the con-
ference yields to his point of view are
tacItly admitted TO be correct. I
In Europe. where there has been long
practice in distinguishing between busi-
ness and bluff, and which. in modern
days, has been obtained through long
experience, extending from the voyage
of the Panther in the Agadir incident,
which a high American official has ad-
mittcd Is an interesting parallel to the
proposed voyage of the George Wash
ington. There is all opinion that MT:
Wilson has made bad blunder and that
his prestige will not be helped by the
summons for his ship.
1t has been an open secret, confirmed
recently by the pro-French interviews
of Premier Lloyd George and the an
nouncement Of the French that they
have reached the irreducible minimum
Of their demands, that Mr.. Wilson has
become isolated in the council OF tour
ana RI is believed that during Lis con-
finement by his slight illness he sud
denly came to realize that he has be-
come the Submerged fourth. He
therefore, decided that 1t was necessary
he do something to regain his waning
prestige. The following is the explana-
ton of the presidents action by keen
observer connected with one OF the
peace missions in Paris. He SAID:
I'm some quarters they arc Laughing

It was reported this morning that several members of the fire depart mcnt are in for CCnSure aS the result of some sort Of a fracaS on the night of July 3 at the Baptist church. Off, cer Marine has been detailed by the authorities to investigate the matt 2r and effect a settlement of the trouble. As reported there were several firemen in the vicinity of the Baptist church on the night of July 3. That same night the bell in the church tower was rung. The fircmen are accused Of ringing the bell and causing dam age to the church property in effect ing an entrance to the edi1iCe. One fireman stated this morning that he did not think his comrades were re- spOnsihlc. He said he knew they were near the church but thought they were there on duty rather than pleas urc and expressed the belief that the bell was rung by youngsters of the town who climbed onto the church roof and thus gained entrance to the belfry so as to toll the bell.
