The George Washington on which
President Wilson left France on sun,
day of last week, was accompanied
during part Of the trip by the giant
battleship New Mexico and NUMBER
of destroyers. Heavy, stormy weather
that proved too much for the Destroy
ers and even for the battleship, was en-
countered during the first Gays OUT
and II was decided to let the destroyers
fall back in order to the better protect
themselves from the heavy seas that
were pouring into them from time to
time. The New Mexico could not keep
up because of the stiffness Of her new
machinery, and 1t is said also that In
her efforts to 60 beyond her capacity
she stripped one Of her giant turbines.
The president, anxious to get to Bos-
ton by yesterday, requested that the
George Washington be driven ahead,
and the ships course was altered 10 a
more northerly route so as to cut on
zoo miles Of distance. number OF
destroyers were sent out from Ameri-
ca to meet the George Washington.
With the consent Of the German
government, the directors OF the North
German Lloyd line have submitted to
the American authorities a proposal
for the use Of fleet Of big German
liners in taking Americans home
through Hamburg and Bremen. The
Germans say they can carry $4,000
passengers each trip and can make
eight trips year. The present Ameri-
can plan is to send troops through the
Netherlands; but the Germans point
out that not only are the Dutch rail-
ways unprepared to handle the traffic,
but the dutch are without suitable
building accommodations for the SOL
diers. It Is proposed to use the bar
racks at Hamburg and Bremen in case
the German proposal is accepted.
American authorities say that II the
present American military practice is
followed the German ships will be able
to carry the Americans home at the rate |
Of 100000 q trip instead Of only 6O,- |
600. In case their proposition is &C
cepted the Germans propose to take |
back on their return trips to Germany |
the food stores that are to be purchas- |
ed from America. The German pro- |
posals are to be submitted to President
Wilson and 1t is expected that he will
take advantage Of them.
Kurt Eisner, prime minister Of the |
recently formed independent socialist |
state Of Bavaria, was assassinated on |
the streets Of Munich last Thursday by
a young nobleman, Lieutenant Colonel
Count Arco Valley. Valley came up
behind Eisner as the latter was on his |
way from the foreign ministry build |
ing to the diet, and shot him twice In
the head Shortly afterward, while |
Herr Auer, Bavarian minister Of the
interior, was alluding in a speech in
the Bavarian landtag to the assassina-
ton Of Eisner, he also was severely
woulded by shots fired at him from the
galleries. Count Valley, who killed
Eisner, was Immediately shot by a
guard, and 1t Is said that he was finish
ed by the populace. Eisner was the
leader Of the revolt by which the
reigning dynasty was overthrown last
November, and has since been at the
head Of affairs in Bavaria. At the in
ternational conference of socialists In
Berne, Switzerland, not long ago, he
accused Emperor William Of direct re-
SDOnSlplllIy
that he knew of his own knowledge
that the Germans had treated French
prisoners with unnecessary and outra-
geous cruelty. He expressed the opin-
Ion that those who brought on the war
should be tried and punished by Ger
man tribunals He announced himself
as opposed to the German majority So
cilialists in power at Berlin and accus-
ed Ebert as being Influenced by the
old regime. He also said he was op:
posed to the Bolsheviki. A national
assembly had been elected, but Eisner
delayed calling it together, because he
knew that a majority Of 1t was oppos-
ed to him and that one of its first acts
would be to relieve him Of power
Count Valley. who shot Eisner, was OF
an aristocratic family Of more than 500
years standing. There seems to be no
doubt Of the motive Of his hostility to
Eisner
