British Statesman Has Plan to
Avoid Future War.
LONDON AWAITS PRESIDENT
Plans for Great Reception Are Ab
sorbing Attention of
British Public.
BY JOSEPH W. GRIGGS.
(Copyright by New York 'World, Published
by arrangement.)
LONDON, Dec. 21. (Special Cable.)
The World is informed tonight that
Lord Robert Cecil, who will have
charge of the league of nations sec
tion of the British representation at
the peace conference, will probably pre
cede the Premier and Foreign Secre
tary Balfour to Paris.
In one of his last electio speeches
Lord Robert said: "Those people are
mad who say we are not going to
bother about a league of nations."
Lord Robert has, -with assistance,
worked out a complete scheme. He
modestly referred to this great under
taking durin. the campaign as a step
in arriving at a Just settlement to
avoid future war.
There was much ministerial activity
over the week, end. For a large part
of the public even during the final
days of the campaign, the President's
visit, commanded great Interest, and
now that the press is recounting the
details of the Paris reception, the mo
mentous occasion takes precedence of
everything else in the public mind.
It is suggeste- in labor quarters to
day that the President's visit to Lon
don will furnish the occasion to pre
sent an address similar to the one pre
sented to him by the French labor and
Socialist bodies.
Man In Street Reassured.
The man in the street is beginning
to realize that partisanship caused the
handling of some delicate subjects of
international significance in "gloves
off" style.
The man in the street here had be
gun to believe that somebody was
really trying to "twist the lion's tail,"
but he now knows that the tail Is still
intact and that ,Anglo-Amerlcan rela
tions are unimpaired despite the-- elec
trical storm In which they temporarily
seemed to be involved. So opinion is
running along more normal lines.
All in all. Great Britain looks on ad
miringly at the great, wholehearted
welcome accorded to President 'Wilson
and bides the time when the President
will be this nation's guest. It promises
to be a welcome' having no counter
part in a previous reception of the
head of any nation hitherto a visitor
to these shores, and London, the great
est city of the empire, will be the scene
of these memorable demonstrations.
Arrival Now Awaited.
It is reported that the President and
Mrs. Wilson will be guests of the King
and Queen at Buckingham palace dur
ing their stay here. The City Corpora
tion of London has already invited the
President to be its guest in the historic
Guildhall at luncheon. " Afterward he
will receive an address in a gold box.
If it is possible for the President-to
visit the other great cities of the
United Kingdom they would vie with
London In the effort to show every
courtesy to their distinguished guest,
but the President has already stated
his regret at being unable to visit an
cestral places in thl3 country to which
he has been cordially invited.
London, which is already bulging
with the hugest population of its his
tory, will have such an abnormal in
flux of people from all parts of the
United Kingdom during the President's
stay that it will be a problem where
they are to be housed and fed.
Soldier. Warned Away.
The military has been warning sol
diers away, if they can g- elsewhere,
because of a lack of accommodations
for the first time since the plague
raged in London in the 17th century
:ind people were warned away from the
metropolis.
Civilians have been notified not to
come unless they can stay at friends'
houses.
Thousands of newly married couples
are unable to find houses or flats here,
because of the enormous influx of peo
ple who remained away during the air
raids and others. Including many colo
nials, who have made London their
home, for while food is available, there
are not enough restaurants, especially
as many hotels are still occupied by
government departments.
When the President, arrives in Lon
don he will find it with the densest
population in all its history, and the
reception the people will give him will
be more than ever before an empire
greeting because of the accreatlon dur
ing the war of a great colonial population.

The Musical Floor, ,
The Seventh,
Attorney Edward Swann, in a state
ment tonight, bitterly opposed the cor
poration's application for permission to
charge higher fares.
Mr. Swann declared the application,
which asks for 7-cent fares and a
3-cent charge for transfers on surface
lines In Manhattan would net the cor
poration J20.000.0UO a year.
He offered statistics to prove that
"after paying all operating expenses,
taxes, excessive rentals, fixed charges,
interest, eta, and dividends of 10 per
cent -a year on the capital stock, in
cluding watered stock, the surplus net
earnings for three years amounted to
more than $6,000,000."
Mr. Swann charged that many of the
operating companies which now are
controlled by the corporation obtained
their, franchises originally by corrupt
ing public 'officials; that funds had
been employed for "stock Jobbing":
that Jurors had been "debauched" and
that bankruptcy proceedings had been
arranged to cover up the records.
In the meantime, he said, the Public
Service Commission had "stood by and
done nothing, and done it welL" ,
YANKEES HOLD FORTRESS
GERMAN STRONGHOLD NOW FX
HANDS OF AMERICANS.
Equipment Surrendered to Army of
Occupation Includes 7 60 Guns
of .Large Caliber.
COBLE NZ, rec. 20. The German for
tress of Ehrenbreitstein. sometimes
called, the Gibraltar of the Rhine, on
the opposite bank of the river from
Coblenz, was occupied by American
troops today. The commander of the
American forces is Colonel Robert Boy
ers, a West Point graduate of 1903.
The fortress, which ia situated on a
rocky promontory 400 feet above the
river and occupies more than 100 acres",
will accommodate thousands of men. It
will be used for the present as regi
mental headquarters of the first pio
neer infantry and two battalions of
pioneers.
AMERICAN ARMY OF OCCUPATION,
Friday. Dec 20 (By the Associated
Frr-ss.) The German authorities began
today turning over to the American
Third Army large quantities of war
material, which will require several
trains to transport.
Included in the artillery given up by
the Germans are 760 guns of large cali
ber and nearly 3000 machine guns.
The other guns range from 160s to
210s.
Metternich. Just outside . of Coblenz,
is the assembling point for this mate
rial. Some of it comes from east of
the Rhine, many of the guns having
been sent into the interior of Germany
for repair, as the terms of the armistice
require that all the artillery be turned
over in first-class condition.
Today American officers began
checking up the guns as they came in.
German officers especially assigned for
the final delivery of the material as
sisted in the work and received the
receipts as fast as the Americans in
spected and accepted the surrendered
property. This is the largest amount
of artillery turned over to the Amer
icans under the armistice, and it is
estimated it will require a week to
inspect and receipt for all the equipment.

COUNSEL TO BE RETAINED
Slayer Accuses Victim of Calling
Him a German Spy and
Traitor to' His Country.
EALTIMORE. Dec. 21. Dr. Mobruy
Ishida, a Japanese, and a member of
the medical staff of the Sheppard-Pratt
Hospital here, shot and Instantly killed (
Dr. George B. Wolfe, another physician
of the hospital, in the office of the
institution today. Jealousy over one
of his nurses prompted the deedf ac
cording to the police. . ..
Hospital physicians who disarmed
Dr. Ishida declared, however, that he
told them that Dr. Wolfe had constantly
accused him of being a Japanese spy
and had circulated false reports re
garding his conduct toward nurses in
the hospital.
Dr. Ishida is a professor of mental
diseases at the Johns Hopkins Uni
versity. At the Japanese embassy in Wash
ington tonight it was stated that coun
sel would be retained to defend the
case of Dr. Ishida., It was also stated
at the embassy that Dr. Ishida ranks
among the foremost alienists of Japan.
A representative of the embassy came
to Baltimore tonight to see the pris
oner and inquire into the circumstances
of the shooting.
When Dr. Edward . Brush, superin
tendent of the hospital, heard the re
ports of the pistol, and with other
physicians entered the office, he saw
the body of Dr. Wolff lying on the floor
Just beneath his desk, while above him
stood Ishida, with the smoking revol
ver In his hand. Dr. Brush grabbed the
Japanese and, wresting the revolver
from his hands, led him Into his office,
while the other physicians struggled
In vain to save the life of their co
worker. While holding the Japanese physi
cian lest he make an attempt to escape.
Dr. Brush asked him why he had shot
Dr. Wolff. Ishida replied: .
"He's a bad man. He say I'm a spy.
He is a traitor to this country and to
Japan. He is a spy." v
Br. Brush said that some time asro
Ishida told him he feared Dr. Wolff.
The latter had a habit of staring ab
stractedly at times. Once he fixed his
eyes upon Ishida and the Japanese said
he feared Wolff's penetrating eyes and
asked Dr. Brush if he possessed the
power of hypnotism.
Dr. Ishida was sent to this country
by the Japanese government to ertudy
medical institutions.
