WILSON RECEIVES
PRINCE OF WALES
IN HISTORIC BED
President in Merry Mood as
He DiScourses With Young
Britisher Who Also Greatly
Enjoys the Visit.

Washington, Nov. l3.-President
Wilson, propped up in the great ma
hogany bed in which Baron Renfrew,
later King Edward VII, slept when
he visited Washington in 1860, greet
ed today the grandson of that Brit
ish kIg, i'll Albert Edward, prince
of Wales.
The prince was taken to the presi-
dents sick room after he had talked
with Mrs. Wilson and the presidents
daughters, Miss Margaret Wilson
and Mrs. Francis B. Sayre. The
visit to the White House followed
a motor trip to Mount Vernon,
where the prince laid wreath on
Washington's tomb and planted a
young cedar before the resting place
of the leader of the American COL
onies in their struggle with England.
Story of Historic Bed.
Soon after the president, and the
prince had exchanged greetings, the
president noticed that his visitor
was looking closely at the massive
old bed, and told him its story
how the princes grandfather had
slept in it when he was entertained
at the, White House by President
Buchanan, and Of it being the same
bed in which President Lincoln slept
during his years in the White House
The president inquired of the
prince as to his father, mother and
grandmother. and mentioned par
ticularly the pleasure with which he
received 4 telegram today from
Queen Mother Alexandra.
President in Merry Mood.
The meeting was much the same
as might occur between any
healthy, normal boy, with a keen
sense of humor. and middle aged
statesman. whose cares had not driv-
en- the gift of laughter from him.
The president laughed heartily at
the vivid and humorous account the
prince gave of his experience since
his arrival OH the American conti-
nent. The British heir was very en-
thusiastic at the warmth of the re-
>ception he had received in the Unit
ed States. The conversation be-
tween the two covered wide range
of subjects, and after the prince had
left, Rear Admiral Grayson, the
presidents personal physician, said
that the presidents spirits had risen
as the result of the visit, and that
he had enjoved it greatly.

Large Orders for Arms and
Ammunition Placed in Bel
gium and Spain in Prepara-
tion for Intervention.
GOVERNMENT MOVES
TO STOP SHIPMENT
Attempts by Carranza at Con-
fiscation Of Mines and Oil
Wells Scrutinized in ReIa-
ton to German Activities.

Washington, Nov. 13.-Large or
ders> for arms and ammunition
placed by Mexico in Belgium and
Spain, in preparation for the posi-
bility of American interveption,
came to. light today when the State
department let it become known
ttat the government had taken steps
to prevent their shipment.
The charge d'affaires of the United
States embassy in Brussels has pro-
tested under Instructions that ship
ments of the munitions would be in
violation of the international arms
convention. As Spain is not party
to the agreement, which was de-
signed 10 aid in keeping the peace OF
the world during the after-thewar
transition period. no such direct &C
.ion is probable at Madrid.
The order in Belgium was placed
with the Fabrique Nationale D'Arms
at Liege, probably under the direc-
ton of Candido Aguilar, Mexican
minister of foreign affairs and Presi-
dent Carranza's son-in-law, who
went to Europe recently after stop
ping here and placing wreath on
George Washington's tomb at Mount
Vernon.
Large Orders in Spain.
The orders in Spain. which in
c1uded rifles, millions of rounds Of
ammunition and large number of
machine guns, were negotiated
through the Mexican minister there,
Eleseo Arredondo. former ambas-
sador to the United States and Pres
iGent Carranza's nephew.
The Spanish munitions, according
to information in the hands of the
government, began passing into
Mexico more than year ago, while
the European war still was going on
and in violation of the interalliei
embargo. Rifles and ammunition
and some sample, machine guns are
reported to have passed Havana on
their way to Mexico as late as June
of this year.
For later shipments, cargo space
had been reserved for October ~
on Holland American line steamers
sailing out of Antwerp, and further
space had been reserved for Tam
pico, Vera Cruz and Puerto, Mex
ico, on December 5.
Can't Get Arms in United States.
The United States has been deny
ing Shipments of arms and ammuni-
ton into Mexico for many months
for the reason that they generally
fell into the hands of bandits and
often were used against Americans
Soon after the end of the war the
Mexican government asked for the
release of munitions bought in this
country II 1917, but it was refused.
Such information as has now come
into the hands of-the government
shows that Mexico already was
turning to European manufacturers
for her supply and has since placed
enormous orders.
1t appears, from the governments
information, that while the peace
conference was in session in Paris
and General Mondragon, promi-
nent Mexican was there advising his
government of its probable course
toward Mexican affairs and particu-
larly the attitude of United States,
the Spanish munition makers, with
whom large orders already had been
placed, were being urged to speed
up the delivery of powder and car
tridges and particularly the machine
guns: which were reported to be a

London, Nov. 15.-William Z.
Johnson, an American prohibition
worker and Anti-Saloon league or
ganizer, farniliarly known here and
elsewhere as "Pussyfoot," was
dragged from a platform from
(which he was speaking, severely
beaten and paraded through two
miles of crowded West End streets
on plank.
His asSailants for the most part
were medical students, and against
them at times he put up strenuous
fight, receiving a badly damaged eye
and other injuries, so that finally,
owing to his weakened physical con-
ditiou, he was Obliged to submit to
the indignity.
Rescued by Police.
Eventually Johnson was rescued
by the police. who, during the early
part Of the march simply kept the
crowd moving. He was rushed TO
Bow street station, where his in
juries were dressed, and he was then
able to go home.
The occasion of the attack was a
meeting in Essex hall> just off the
Strand, at which debate had been
arranged under the auspices Of the
Overseas club and Patriotic league
Between Mr.. Johnson and R.
Mitchell Banks, a lawyer, on The
How and the Why of American
Prohibition"
The chairman of the meeting was
F. A. Mckenzie. He, too, was
seized by the crowd, but was soon
released. The meeting had no soon
er opened than there was an uproar,
due to the activities of a few young
men, who Immediately engaged in
heckling, both prohibitionists and
anti-prohibitionists pleading for or

Signs of Trouble.
Outside the building there were
potent signs of impending trouble:
A great crowd of students had
gathered and after Mr.. Johnson be-
gan to speak, hundreds of the stu
dents, who evidently were organized.
broke down the iron gates to the en-
trance to the hall, brushed aside the
police, charged down the aisles and
seized Johnson and Mckenzie:
These two they pelted with bags of
flour. They hoisted them into a
wagon and proceeded to Kings col
lege nearby. where both were IN
vited to state their case for prohl-
bition to the students, but were not
allowed to proceed because of the
howls.
Mount Johnson.
The rioters then discarded Nc
Kenzie and mounted Johnson on a
plank. This stalwart group PLACED
on their shoulders and marched
through the Strand, Covent garden,
Leicester square, Picadilly circus
and Oxford circus to Portland street,
where the police intervened and et-
fected a rescue. :,
As the procession passed through
the streets, with banners adorned
with black cats, pictures of beer
stems and other decorations, there
were frequent cries of We've got
pussyfoot," but Londoners, accus-
toned to students marches recently,
did not really believe that IT was
Johnson and the march did not
cause as much excitement in the
streets as might be expected.
Some of the prohibition campaign
ers, mostly Americans, declared to
The Associated Press that they did
not believe that the police had made
sincere effort to break up the
crowds and contended that they
could have rescued Mr.. Johnson
much sooner if they had so desired.
