IN BREST AFTER

pendent.
BREST. Dec. 1!. Although TresloVnt
Wilson will pause in Brest only three
hours on the way through to Paris,
Col. House and members of the French
government are arriving to welcome
him here, and there are already many
Indications visible of the enthusiastic
welcome that awaits the head of
the American government throughout
France.
No one here is more happy over the
coming visit, however, than are the
American troops, who feel that Presi
dent Wilson will see personally the
magnitude of the achievement of the
American army and convey the spirit
of it to the people.
Before a large assembly of troops
Margaret Wilson, eldest daughter of
the president, sang yesterday. Her
democracy, her informality, typically
American, made a deep impression
here. She has been traveling In France
for a month, passing along the entire
battle front, as well as back of the
lines and Rtnging at two concerts daily.
She has been singing for the Young
Men's Christian association and,
through a happy coinoldence, her as
signment at Brest fell just before the
arrival of her father, so that she will
remain here to greet him.
She has visited many places tn
France inoognlto, and as we motored
yesterday afternoon along the water
front she told me there was no doubt
in her mind that the people of France
would be everlastingly grateful to
America and that she herself had fallen
in love with the French peasantry,
from whom she had received many sim
ple tributes, most touching in their
character.
Miss Wilson was also received with
great -enthusiasm by the American
forces everywhere, especially because
of her Insistence In reserving spaces
for the accommodation of the enlisted
men at every hut where she sang. Not
only ha she been singing, but she has
been making brief speeches as she
traveled throughout France, stimulat
ing the American troops who must
necessarily remain here and enthusing
the returning soldiers by telling them
that no set of Americans ever got a
greater welcome than that which was
waiting for the returning soldiers when
they again reach the United States.
In marked contrast to the daugh
ters of foreign rulers, Miss Wilson ha
been traveling simply, working day and
ntght and putting up with hardships
of every sort. Gen. Pershing has de
tailed Maj. Oliver Newman, formerly
president of the board of commissioners
of the District of Columbia, to escort
the party, which consists, in addition
to Miss Wilson, of Mr. and Mrs. Ross
David, of New York, who are also
taking part assisting in the musical
program. ,
Although the war nas come to an ena
from all practical standpoints, the
necessity of providing recreation for the
rer is srona. Miss Wilson Was travel
Ing along the battle front when nego
tiations for an armistice began and she
conveyed the news personally as she
traveled from Paris to the Toul sector.
While she was doing so she encoun
tered a regiment mud covered and
fatigued just coming out of the
trenches. Misb Wilson suddenly left her
companions and rushing toward a cap
tain among the troops embraced him
affectionately. Her companions won
dered until they discovered that the
man was her own cousin, Capt. Edward
Brown, of Atlanta, who had no idea
she was in France, and there was a
family reunion at the front. The sol
diers, on learning the identity of the
distinguished visitor, cheered heartily.
Miss Wilson has been traveling un
officially all the time and I learned
today from members of her party that
she was one of the first to enter
Strassburg. the old capital of Aleace,
with the American forces. She went
incognito, joining in the enthusiastic
demonstrations of the populace. With
French children at her side, she, too,
paraded through the street as Marslial
retain entered.
"I would not have missed it for all
the world," she said, "and I wish I
could have gotten over sooner. One
must see France to appreciate it."

tion from the Russian Baltic provinces
which has its headquarters here, re

Suspects Motor
Trip To Paducah;
Is Given Freedom
A motor trip to Paducah, Ky., is
commonly supposed to preface a whis
ky purchase, according to William Gor
don, 19 years old, who was a co-defendant
with Bob Berryman and Sam
Cold, charged with violating the Reed
liquor amendment.
"When a man tells me he is going
to Paducah In as open car I believe
he's going after whisky," Gordon told
United States District Attorney Kyser
when he took the stand in federal court
Thursday.
"If you told me you were going to
that town by motor car I'd think you
were going after whisky, too," he
added.
No evidence waa introdnced to show
that Gordon had had anv connection
with the whisky confiscated In Gold's
and Bcrryman's cars near Somervllle,
and upon the recommendation of the
district attorney the youth was dis
charged. ,
Although both Gold and Berryman
admitted buying the whisky and hav
ing it in their possession, they dis
claimed any violation of the Reed
amendment, declaring tney were tail
ing the liquor to Helena, Ark , and
not to Memphis.
"Don't you know that it's against
tne ia to sen nquor m Arxansas?
" mt attorney asked Gold when
trtHOTk the stand.
l heard thet. a judge had ruled you
could sell It if you could get by with
It," the defendant answered. 1
Both Berryman and Gold were con
victed. UNION CITY MAN SELLS

ONIiT NEWSPAPER IN MKKPHI8 SUPPLIED BY
MEMPHIS,
How Can You thy "No!"
To These Pitiful Pleas
BY A- GOODFELLOW,
Deep gloom has settled over an hum
ble home in the hills of Northern
Mississippi.
The roof that shelters two little boys
and a little girl, who are without the
help of a father, may be watertight
and the floors scrupulously clean, but
the larder is none too full, and as
Christmas draws nearer three youthful
hearts are depressed.
"We don't expect Santa this year."
one of them wrote me. "for, you see,
daddy died not so very long ago, and
poor mother hasn't much. So if you
don't remember us we won't have any
Christmas."
iet me assure you, Goodfellows, that
those three youngsters are going to
get a real Christmas at your hand..
We are going to fill up a big bag of
necessaries and Christmasy things es
pecially for them and Cncle Sam will
see to it that the package is delivered
via rural delivery.
The plea, of those three children, who
have every right to expect recognition
on Christmas day, is just the same old,
old story over again. I can show you
hundreds and hundreds of similar
pleas for other youngsters we are going
to play Santa to this year; pleas that
fairly wring the heart, that make us
pause In the midst of thoughts of self
and give heed to the plaint of the kid
dles. "Keep the Kid's heart from break
ing," is our mot lo and with your help
we. intend to live up to It to the letter.
With your help! That is the essential
thing, the one requirement that is ab
solutely necessary.
As I have told you many, many times
before, ours Is an enjoyable task, a
honor that is not given to everybody,
a pleasure we are proud to acknowl
edge. But don't ovenooK the fact that
you are an essential factor In our
scheme of existence. If you fall us In
this hour of need you strike at the
heart of childish faith in the Christian
conception of Christmas. .
Let's get busy, Goodfellows. Let's
go over the top In this drive against
gloom. We've done big things In the
past; let's maintain the standard.
You've been looking after the orphans
of France and Belgium, let's minister
to those at home.
in the name of the cause let's carry
on.
The club acknowledges with thanks
the fine package of toys sent in by
Mrs. W. B. Johnson, 731 Booth Lauder
dale. We have a place for them and
their Ooodfellow donor may rest as
sured that some poor kid's heart will
be made glad by them Christmas morn

EVIDENCE OF HUNV.
av:Ti?4' ytsw.' ..
IN AMERICA
ASSEMBLED BY U.S.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 12. Voluminous
documents shedding light on the Ger
man system for blowing up munition
factories and practicing sabotage and
espionage in various forms have been
assembled by the department of Justice
in preparation for disclosure, it was
said today, but officials have not de
termined what portion of these It would
be wise to give out or when It might
be done without interfering with ac
tivities of government agents still In
progross.
The disclosures of A. Bruce Blelaski,
chief of the bureau of Investigation, be
fore the senate committee Investigating
propaganda, constitute only a small part
of the evidence of German practices
gathered by the department's agents In
the last two years.
The files of the bureau of investiga
tion are said to contain hundreds of
names of German agents and Ameri
cans With whom they had dealings In
gathering information about the na
tion's war preparations and concerning
Germany's enemies before this country
entered the war. These names have
not been disclosed.
When Mr. Blelaski appears before the
senate committee again tomorrow for
examination it is possible that some
senators may question him about some
phases of the bureau's work other than
the fight against enemy propaganda.
Throughout the war It has been the
policy of the department of justice to
maintain strict secrecy regarding most
matters relating to Investigating agents.
Including Internments of enemy aliens
Attorney-General Gregory said many of
the war secrets would be made known
at the proper time after the war,

Propaganda Coming From All
Parts of Germany Seeks to
Divide Allies Upon Import
ant QuestjoratPeace Table
BY Kit AN K H. SIMON 1W,
The Newt Scimitar's Military Expert.
NEW YORK, Dec. 12. Unmistakable
Propaganda now coming from all Quar
ters In Germany discloses the expected
attempt to divide the victors on the
question of the ultimate disposition of
the German colonics. It l to America,
too, that the Germans are looking In the
matter ol the colonies, as well as In the
question of "the freedom of the seas''
ror the n native n a moment wtneh
shall split the nations which have won
mis war.
It Is therefore of utmost inmortHno
that the American people should un
derstand the question of the German
colonies. The obvious German maneu
ver will be to establish the idea that
the single question Involved is one of
territorial expansion. It Is already be
ing artfully insinuated that the Brit
ish are preparing to "grab" German
olonles with no other Intent thaji to
increase their empire and enlarge their
commercial markets.
Now. what are the facts First of
all, the decision of the British in the
matter of the colonies will not be made
by the Inhabitants of the United King
dom; t policy Is imperial, not Euro
pean. And tn this connection we have
reported this week the demand of New
South Wales, following that of New
Zealand, that the German colonies shall
not to be returned Prime minister
Hughes, of Australia, when In this
country last summer, spoke with great
emphasis tn the Maine sense, the will of
the union of South Africa has eu
made clear and Is the same.
Much Due Colonies.
Now Britain has won this war In no
small measure becAuae of the support
or her colonies. She can not, by sheer
force, compel a restoration of German
colonies to Germany In the face of the
opposition of her own colonies without
the gravest consequences. In point of
fact, the Pacific Islands of Germany
were taken bv Australian and ,fw
Zealand troops, who occupy them, and
the conoiiest of German South Africa
was mainly a South African enterprise.
Ami to understand the attitude or the
British colonies It Is useful tor Amer
icans to go back in American history
to the time of the victory of Britain,
with the very great, aid of the American
colonies, over France, which culminated
In ihe capture of Quebec. At that time
the suggestion of a return of Camilla
to France would have precipitated a
revolution tn the 13 colonies, and for
the simple reason that It would have
meant a perpetuation of the condition
of warfare in America.
It was not that New Knglaml or New
York was primarily Interested In the
annexation of Canada; what concerned
them both was the Imperative need for
peace on their frontiers, for an end of
Indian raids, border warfare and Inces
sant attacks by an enemy whose, forces
assailed American colonies whenever
Nuropeati differences brought France,
and Britain Into conflict. New Knglond
and New York sent their mllltla to the
struggle against Canada to end a nui
sance and a peril which had troubled
them over many decades.
Now the position of the union of
South Africa, for example. Is exaotly
thai of the 13 colonies, save, as the
situation In Africa Is far worse. German
Southwest Africa was not merely the
bass for an Invasion of British Mouth
Africa In the present war, but was also
the center which rebellion against Brit
ain was fomented before the war It
was to abolish not merely the imme
diate but all future peril of the sort
which had been experienced In the
Do Wet rebellion that Botha and Smuts
led Boer as well as British troops Into
German territory.
Means Menace.
Southwest Africa having been con
quered and the peril abolished, the Brit
ish colony Is resolved that It shall not
return. If Germany comes back to
her old colony It means a permanent
menace uud a permanent necessity to
maintain an army. It means, In addi
tion the nosslble danger of the old In
trigue and the certain peril of an Inter
ruption of cgmmunloalion with Briialn
In case of another war, since the Ger
man colony faoH the sua route from the
mother country and offers an admirable
submarine base. And what Is true of
German Southwest Africa is in the
mailt to be said of German Flast Africa.
Exactly the same emotion Is revealed
by the people of Australia and New
Zealand. To return New Guinea and
Samoa to the Germans would be to re
store them bases for future naval ag
gressions. Hao1 the Germans developed
their submarine plans before the win
es they did subsequently, had they been
able io station submarines In naval
buses h Samoa and New Guinea, all the
llrltish sea routes In the far East would
have been cut, and the results would
have been disastrous. Neither Austra
lia nor New Zealand wishes in the fu
ture to have to maintain navies against
a new German attack; they desire the
danger which has been abolished to re
main abolished, and lltelr purpose In the
pcaci
(inference m unniistaaaoie.
There are other aspects to the prob
lem tn the humanitarian siue tne sio
rv of German colonization Is one of the
blackest In all history; the deliberate
extermination of all but a hamirnl of
the Ilerrero people In Southwest Africa
Is a page of brutality passing avijn the
Helglan and Polish episodes in the war.
To turn back helpless people to cruel
and vicious masters would he a crime
against the principles championed by
the allies.
II Is not a British scheme of expan
sion then, this purpose not to return
German colonies It is a matter In
Which British policy Is not made In
London hill In Cape Town, Sydney and
Melbourne. H Is a colonial, not t met

THS MAQUIS, Hoc. 11 The former
German emperor Is entitled to the rlRht
of sanctuary In Holland, and therefore
his return to Germany can not be de
manded, according to a statement made
by Jonkhaer lieerenbruck In the lower
chamber of parliament during a debate
on the visit of the former emperor to
Holland
The premier said tho government
would have preferred that the former
emperor had not chosen Holland as a
refuge, but that hn came as a private
Individual after renouncing hl throne
Without direct or indirect notification
of his Intended arrival.
After renuiK'Inllon of his throno,
Jonkheer lieerenbruck continued, there
could not be a question of Internment
nor could the former emperor's return
to Germany bo demanded In view of
the Immemorial Irailltlon of right c(
eanoluuty The Netherlands govern -nient
could adopt no line of conduct but
that of granting "the right of sanctu
ary" and accepting II as a fact accom
plished. The government, the premier contin
ued, must repudiate every effort (.0 see
In this step an unneutral attitude
Nevertheless, he said, the once emper
or's stay In Holland was only regarded
as temporary Up to Iho present no
power had protested against his lslt,
hut any eventual demand for extradi

concluded, would not allow the foinmr
emperor to exercise any Influence In
