dedication ceremonies at Verdun
tomorrow of the. monument Just
completed there to commemorate
one of the most famous war
shrines in France, "the trench of
bayonets." The memorial has
been erected at a cost of 500.00
francs and Is the gift of the late
George IF. Rand of Buffalo. X. Y

plane accident in France in the
spring of 1919. His son, George

er s wishes, has continued the
work and with his two sisters.
will be present at the dedication.
The "trench of the bayonets"
Is probably the most impressive
reminder of. the horrors of war
remaining In France today. The
explosion of a German shell in
one -of the lines before Verdun
buried a number of soldiers, kill
ing them instantly. Their bayon
ets alone remained above the
earfiji.
These guns may be seen today
with the ends projecting from
the ground, and it is to preserve
and commemorate this striking
reminder that the monument has
been built.
It was felt by Mr. Rand that
the spot was symbolic of the hero
ism of the French soldiers.
The ceremony of dedication will
be made the occasion for an of
ficial French demonstration of
gratitude for America's part in
the war. President Millerand
will deliver the principal address
and Ambassador Wallace also will
Marshals Foch and Pe-
tain and General Mangin, as well
as many French ministers will
attend the dedication.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 7. De
termination of house leaders to
stop during the period of recon
struction the great floodof im
migration which has set in from
Europe and other parts of the
world was evidenced-today by the
action of the rules committee in
reporting a special rule under
which general debate on the

four hours and probably disposed
of at one session.' The rule will
be called up Thursday, delay In
taking it up having been agreed

would prohibit practically all Im
migration for two years.
While the house committee was

to Suspend immigration for six
months. This proposal has the
support of other senators who be-
ieve that congress should not act
hastily in passing immigration
legislation, but should put up tne
bars for a short period while it
is assessing the whole situation
and drafting legislation to meet
It. - . " .

At a meeting last night in the

policeman and Willers wai Ar
rested. At a polics station the
prisoner was further identified by
two other former lieutenants in
Company I, Sidney P. Howell and
Francis Hatch. Willers was then
taken to Governor's Island and
placed In confinement at Fort Jay.
Willers, the police said, recited
in a brazen fashion how he was
sent to the United States as one
of an army of 300 cadets trained
in acts of espionage to enlist in
the American army.
On his arrival In the United
States, Willers went to Albany
where he enlisted, he said, as, a
private. His military . aptitude
won him rapid promotion and his
knowledge of English and his
ability to "speak like an Ameri
can," enabled him to obtain t
commisison.
Mission to Lead to Slaughter
Willers said he had never been
sent across the ocean and while
in this country his instructions
were "to act the part of a loyal
American" And to take no action
until he reached the war zone.
"What was your plan . after
reaching the other side?", he was
a ted.
"I could lead th company to
slaughter," the police say . he re
plied. "You also would be killed." he
was reminded.
"What of that? Thousands or
better men have died tht way."
The police say that 'Willers re
marked that they would be sur
prised if they knew "the number
of officials at Washington during
the' war who were emploj-ed fcy
Germany as spies.
"Are they still there?" he was
"That I don't know," he Is said
to have answered. "But there
were many of them during the
war."
Wilier le!erts Company
The 48th Infantry was still at
Camp Sevier when the armistice
was signedand, his usefulness as
a spy at an end, Willers told the
police, he decided to become a de
serter and to take, they alleged,
the company funds.
The deserter then went to Chi
cago, where, about a year aga. he
married an American woman
named Crawford.
From Chicago Willers ' roa me i
about the country, at various
times trying unsuccessfully to gpt
a passport to Germany, lis dis
guised, himself and waited an op
portunity to quit the country. A
pair of heavy eyeglasses, he 3a id,
was an Imrortant part of his dis
guise. When questioned by military
authorities at Governor's Island
Willers declined to amplify his al
leged confession.
The resolution is on the senate
calendar and can be called up at
any time by unanimous consent,
or by majority vote. Ita support

hare it taken up and acted upon
during the morning hour, so as
not to conflict with the packer

due to come up tomorrow as un

WASHINGTON. Dec. 7.
President-elect Harding conclud
ed today his two-day visit to
Washington with another succes
sion of .conferences In which he
talked with his party associates
about the league of nations, the
selection of a cabinet and other
problems.
The" president-elect did not call
on President Wilson, but en route
to the station to hpard his special
train for Marion, he stopped at
the White House to leave his card
and that of Mrs. Harding. The au
tomobile, bearing the party drove
up to the north entrance to the
executive mansion, where it was
met by I. H. Hoover, chief usher
at the White House. Mr. Harding
presented the cards, saying that
he desired to leave them "for the
president" .and then went to the
station.
All with whom the president
elect conferred preserved silence
regarding the details of the dis
cussions and Mr. Harding said
the conversations were strictly of
a confidential nature. He reit
erated that be was seeking by di
rect personal consultation to
frame an administrative policy
behind which everyone could
unite.
In his search for Information
and advice about the league, the
president-elect summoned Repub
lican senators of the irreconcil
able and of the mild reservation
groups alike. - and. It is under
stood, he told them he wanted
suggestion from every quarter.
Without submitting any concrete
plan of hU own. he is said to have
asked plainly what sort or inter
national agreement each of his
conferees would support.
The discussion of cabinet selee
tions had a wider scope, several
of his most trusted friends under
taking to canvass the situation in
senarate conferences at various
places throughhout the capitot.
Harry M. Daugherty. of Ohio, his
pre-convention manager, was one
of the most active in tms tasic
seeing various members of the
senate and house in Mr. Harding'
office while the president-elect
was occupied with his own callers
at the residence of Edward U
McLean, his host.
Former Senator John W. Weeks
of Massachusetts. - who like Mr
Daugherty, has been prominently
mentioned as a likely candidate
after he had talked to Mr. Hard
ing. also saw several prominen
Republican leaders. A third who
performed a similar mission was
Senator Fall of New Mexico,
whose activities brought his name
into fresh prominence as a possi
ble secretary In the cabinet.

of the dominion peace delegation,
asserted In a memorandum made
public today.
The memorandum further sets
forth that the "undertaking In

ticle seems to involve a careful
survey, consideration and determ
ination of all territorial aues-
ons between the various states','
and declares that "even if such a
survey were practicable, ft would
be impossible to forecast the fu
ture." The memorandum says
further:
The signatories to the cove
nant are called upon to declare
(a) that all existing territorial
limitations are just and expedi
ent: fb that they will continue
indefinitely to be just and ex
pedient; c) that the signatories
will be responsible therefor. '
"There, may be natlonil aspir

the peace treaty will not do Jus

ticles contemplate the possibility
of war between two or more of
the signatories under such con
ditions that the other signatories
are not called upon to partici
pate actively therein. If as a re
