THEIR ALREADY FEELS MISSION
 |S SUCCESSFUL
Blame for Unrest in Europe Today Laid at Doors of
 U. s. by Clemenceau
THREATENED BY LETTER
Caustic Comment on Post War Attitude of America
 Made in Address

NEW YORK, Nov. 2l.-(By the Associated Press) ))-Georges Clem- enceau today laid at the door of the United States blame for all the un- rest in which Europe now seethes.
 Speaking before his second New York audience-and audience of bus mess men-at the Chamber of Com merce of the state of New York, the aged French war premier declared that America had left France in the lurch'' after the war.
 Tt was a great mistake to leave without any proposal for an ad- justment of matters" he declared. Tt was the greatest mistake and the source of all the evil that is placed now
 People ask me what do you want us to do?' he continued. Il an swer: T don't know what 1 want you to do. I want you to interfere in Europe because you left it too soon. 1 want you to come back, make little new trip to Europe, saying: "Wel now, gentlemen, what s the matter with yOu-something gone wrong? l will give you some help. Can l be of use?'
 The chamber speech was but one of the high spots in the most stir ring day Clemenceau has had since he arrived here last Saturday for tour, the aim of which was to be the winning of America to a closer relationship with France.
 Although it was his day of great est ovations, there came to the Iii ger, too, evidences that his tour was not to be wholly over a path of roses. The threatening letter, sharp criticisms from Senator Borah and others in official Washington and ad- verse newspaper comment on his re- vival of the French plea for

clared, and this was turned over to the authorities.
 The supposition that enemies might have been responsible for the deaths was strengthened, the police said, by fears expressed by the dead man, in a letter written to the state board of health, and found unsealed on the floor of the Henderson home, that some one might have gotten into the house while he was away at night at his work at the Pennsylvania railroad shops.
 The letter expressed the belief that members of the family were taking poison into their systems some way and asked for advice.
 Breaking down the door of the Hen derson home this morning anxious neighbors were confronted with the spectacle of the six bodies. That of Henderson was sprawled on the floor :: his wife's was found upright in chair before the fire and those of the four children in bed.

Ottoman Proposal For West ern Thrace Plebiscite Is
 Cause of Opposition

LAUSANNE, Nov. 22.-(By the As sociated Press)-Turkey found the great powers of Europe arrayed against her today on the question of western Thrace, on which she demands a plebicite and Greece, helpless and beaten by the arms of the Ottoman state, left a rather heated afternoon session of the Near Eastern conference with the feeling that she is not so abandoned as she feared.
 The Turkish plenipotentiaries re- turned to their hotel looking deject- ed. One of them said: They were all against us on the Thracean is sue today but it is not yet decided i; We probably shall have some thing more to say tomorrow
 The Bulgarian premier. Alexander Stamboulisky, explained Bulgaria's ne cessity to have an outlet to the Aegean sea at Dedeagatich already promised by treaty. Greece has ad mitted her obligation to grant Bul garia port rights at Dedeagatch but has explained that her war witf Turkey prevented realization unti now. Stamboulisky was inclined tC support the idea of making western Thrace autonomous, but the trenC of the allied leaders speeches was opposed to this.

SOMERVILLE, N. J., Nov. 22.-(By The Associated Press. )-The first two important phases of the Hall-Mills murder case were practically finished tonight when the grand jury which has been hearing evidence since Mon- day adjourned after deciding not to re-convene until next Monday.
 Special Prosecutor Wilbur A. Mott had shown how the bodies were found. He had established to the best of his ability-barring the testimony of two additional witnesses-what he cOnsid- CTS the motive. There remained to- night only the testimony of the two motive witnesses and the story of the crime, the eye witness story to be told by Mrs. Jane Gibson, who said she saw the shooting.
 Only 13 witnesses were called today but all of them were of the first i'm portance. Nellie Russell, negress, was among the first called. She told reporters after her 20 minutes inside the room that she had told the same story l told you"
 If that is true, Mrs. Russell told the grand jury that Mrs. Gibson could not have seen the shooting, because Mrs. Gibson was talking to Mrs. Russell on the latters stoop at the time the crime was committed.
 George Sipel was another of the days witnesses. Sipel has been cred ited with telling conflicting stories about his actions on Thursday night September If.

Surprised That Attempt to Drive Bill Through Made
 After Verdict at Polls

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-The road was swiftly cleared today for an early end of the house fight over the admin istration shipping bill, which will be- gin tomorrow.

 Generally speaking, leaders said it did not indicate the lineup when the house votes on final passage Novem- Der 29.

 The soldier bonus issue was injected into the debate by Representative Johnson, Republican of South Dakota. who announced that he would vote to permit the house to consider the bill, but would not vote for its passage. Mir. Johnson declared no party could survive that refused to give a bonus to soldiers and then gave a bonus to ships.
 Sharply contrasting views were pre- seted by Representative Mondell, Wyo- ming, the Republican leader, and Rep publica leader, and Representative Garrett, Tennessee, the Democratic leader. Mir.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.--An invi- tation to participate with the interna- tional federations of trades unions in a general labor anti-war conference at the Hague December 10 was rejected today by President Gompers and the executive council of the American Fed eration of Labor.
 To J. P.

 Originally it had seemed possible, the American Federation letter said, for the labor organizations of the United States to participate in the pro posed peace congress with unions Of other nations, but resolutions of the International Federation of Trades Unions, adopted at Rome had laid down such advance terms that no as sociation could be attempted. Devot- ed as it has been to the general cause of peace, it was declared. the Ameri- can Federation could not seek to fur ther Such cauSp in a meeting commit ted in advance to proposals not only lacking in constructive character but which may easily be of most serious menace to the cause of freedom"
