Flatbush Avenue at Fulton Nevins St. FRENCH SHIPS TO BRING OUR SOLDIERS HOME: ALL BACK IN ONE YEAR? Paris, December 20-Satisfactory arrangements have been perfected with the French authorities to cease cancelling the, charters of ships intended to carry home American troops. An important meeting at which the shipping needs of all the Allies and the United States will be discussed, will be held tomorrow. Arrangements it is said, will be made for a division of tonnage so as to give preference in the following order: European relief, return of American troops and commercial business. American shipping authorities here have been advised that much tonnage which was expected to be used in carrying home Canadian and Australian troops possibly may be delivered to American needs, as those dominions are not planning to return their diers very quickly, is believed that the result will be the homecoming of all American troops within twelve months.

WILSON CONSIDERS ITALIAN CLAIMS Paris, December 20--President Wilson spent the most of conferring with Italian statesmen and considering the claims that Italy will lay before the Peace Conference. Early in the day Mr. Wilson conferred for some time with Premier Orlando and Foreign Minister Sonnino of Italy, who explained in detail their country's ambitions. The President has expressed warmest sympathy with Italy's aspirations, but has not committed himself fully as to his views. Mr.

Wilson frankly told Premier Orlando and Baron Sonnino that he did not know what Italy should receive. but added that he intended to support action that would be just. The cordiality shown at the meeting between Mr. Wilson and King Victor Emmanuel yesterday was a subject of much comment by those who were present. The President had been somewhat concerned as to the event.

not knowing that the Italian King speaks English. After the exchange of greetings the two statesmen came to a mutual understanding and during their conversation they could be seen 10 be smiling and gesticulating in the most friendly manner. It is probable that members of the American Peace Delegation will hoid informal conferences with Premier Oriando and Baron Sonnino, for the purpose of gaining personal in knowledge of their views, which have been explained in a preliminary way by Count di Cellere, Italian Ambassador at Washington.

BELLANS INDIGESTION 6 BELL-ANS Hot water Sure Relief INDIGESTION WOLCOTT OBJECTS TO BECKER TELLING OF HUN FINANCING Says His Testimony Regarding Kuhn, Loeb Co. Is Irrelevant. Washington, December 20-When Alfred L. Becker, Deputy State Attorney General of New York, resumed his testimony today on German propaganda before the Senate Committee discussed the financing of ganda program.

He said Government was "gravely disappointed" in its hope of financing the scheme through Kuhn, Loeb Co. of New York. German officials, he declared, of M. M. Warburg of Hambelieved that the standing, the firm burg.

Germany, would give them an influence with Kuhn, Loeb Co. through Otto H. Kahn, one of its officials, but the bank imposed such difficult conditions that they had to gO elsewhere for financial arrangements. In discussing the Kuhn, Loeb Co. incident Mr.

Becker gave the conmittee an account of an affidavit made by Count James Minotto, an Italian subject and 2. son-in-law of Louis Swift, whose internment was ordered by President Wilson. In that affidavit Count Minotto told of a conference he had with Mr. Kahn after his return from Europe in 1915, in which an investment in the Anglo- French loan by Kuhn. Loeb Co.

was dis. cussed. Mr. Kahn was quoted as saying that while his firm had not invested in the loan, he and Mortimer C. Schiff did not deny having personally invested in it.

Irrelevant, Says Wolcott. Senator Wolcott of Delaware ob. jected to this testimony on the ground of irrelevancy and in the by the committee Mr. Becker the was to purpose show of that in reading 1915, the amdavil Kuhn. Co.

were "painfully neutral." Senator Nelson asked if the M. M. Warburg Company of Hamburg not a. brother or related in some way to Paul M. Warburg, formerly member of the Federal Reserve Board.

He replied that such was the case. Mr. Becker said also that the purpose was to show that while Mr. Kahn was telling the French Government that they had subscribed to the AngloFrench Loan they were also telling the German Government that they had not subscribed. In this connec-1 tion.

Senator Reed of Missouri asked whether the loyalty of Paul M. War. burg was being questioned, and Mr. Becker said very emphatically that there was no such question involved. "There is not a man who has been more loyal to our country than Paul M.

Warburg, and I think that the country will suffer materially by his having left the Federal Reserve Board," remarked Senator King of Nelson Indorses Kahn. Senator Nelson remarked that he had met Mr. Kahn while the latter was in Minnesota and that he was satisfied that there was no more loyal citizen than he. A portion of an made a year ago by a person whose name was not disclosed and which was withheld from the record yesterday until the committee had stricken out irrelevant portions of it was admitted to the record today. The affidavit deals with a conversation between the unidentified person.

Count Von Bernstorff. former German Ambassador, and W. F. McCombs. the former Democratic National Committee chairman.

The conversation is alleged to have taken place in a camp in the Adirondacks in the winter of 1914 and to have dealt with the interests of Bernstorff's efforts to obtain a newspaper to take Germany's side of the war. The unidentified person was quoted as saying that the York Sun would not accept an advertisement for the sale of the securities unless it was shown itively that the investment would be a legitimate one. "I have my eye on Hearst and I expet he will be the man." Bernstorff remarked. according to the affidavit. The afidavit which was admitted to the record finally says the unnamed person making the statement had several conversations with Von Bernstorff in the camp of the and at one time Bernstorff severely criticized Herman Ridder, publisher 0 fa German language newspaper in New York, who.

he thought, was doing their cause a great deal of harm. The affidavit declared that about year later, after he had seen "that Hearst was publishing a German he mentioned it to the Count and said: "I guess you got those and he said, "Well, it's working all right. isn't it?" The man making the affidavit said that during his conversations with Bernstorff he observed that the former Ambassador was "making a mental! note and trying to find out all he could. The inference drew. "was that he had.

Suddenly, through a rift in the mist the onlookers on the dock waiting for the Manchuria saw the Montana bearing down on the transport apparently about to strike the troopship squarely abaft the beam.

Army and Navy men on the dock became quite excited, but the commander of the Montana managed to get more speed up and secured sternway in which to avoid hitting the Manchuria, passing to port.

We disdain to blame others, but. we expect. Mr. President, that you will, despite all opposition, achieve success with the principles you laid down. We are the words you spoke at Washington's grave, when you said every arbitrary power.

What Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig of the British Army thought of the American fighters in France was told the members of the Rotary Club of Brooklyn this afternoon by Harry Lauder. It was not the Harry Lauder SO well known to the American theater-going public who delivered the ringing message of what the great war had lone for the English-speaking people, but a serious and eloquent Harry Lauder whose voice trembled with emotion and rang with enthusiasm as he recounted the scenes he had witnessed during the months spent on the Allied fighting line in France. It was just before he visited the Americans last September that he was dining with Marshal Haig and he asked him what, he thought of the Americans. There was a gleam of true admiration in the Marshal's eyes, said the speaker, as he replied: "I've just been up north for a couple of days and I've seen the Americans in action, and I want to tell you that they're fighting like tigers. And the American officers are real gentlemen." "It was not much but it meant a great deal." said Harry Lauder.

"I've traveled over your continued Mr. Lauder, "and I've heard some say that America was too long in entering the war," he declared. "Man. it's a lie. Every true-thinking American was with us from the Mr.

Lauder expressed the firm conviction that the bonds which the war had forged between the Englishspeaking races would be enduring. That the war had also done much for America itself in bringing its various parts into closer contact with one another and bringing home to its citizens a truer conception not only of what the nation means, but even of how vast it was, was also expressed by him. He voiced the hope that in the coming peace no hasty or ill-considered decisions would be made. The speaker was introduced by President Charles Jerome Edwards as "a fellow Rotarian," Mr. Lauder being a member of the Rotary Club in Scotland.

An audience of nearly 300, which included many man in Army and Navy uniform, many but recently returned from the front and some who had been invalided home, heard him speak. 3 KILLED, 2 INJURED IN RAILROAD ACCIDENTS AT NEW JERSEY POINTS Perth Amboy, N.
