Join their comrades in Berlin.
Nearly one hundred persons were
killed in the street fighting which
began In Berlin on Tuesday morn
ing. according to the latest reports
from the German capital. The Re
publican guards tried several times
o take the royal stables and the
leadquarters of the revolting stables,
put were repulsed.
Civilians Armed
A large number of the soldiers
belonging to the Berlin guard joined
the sailors, Vorwacrts reports, and
a few of the Republican Guards fol-j
lowed the'r example.
When these reports were sent a :
large number of armed civilians werej
continuing to hold the sailors at |
the al stables and in the Koenigs-|
strasse. This street, with all Its:
houses, is reported in the hands of
the sailors, who are supported by
the Spartacus. They demand that
Premier Ebert and Secretary
Hagse resign and be replaced by
George Ledebour and Dr. Karl Lieb
knecht.
Hold Conference
Dr. Llehknecht, the advices add,
went to the chancellor's palace and
h(l a long conference with the min
isters, the result of which was un

Further fighting was anticipated,
it was added, as the Spartacans and
the sailors are said to have de

were stationed In Unter den Linden
and on the Dederschen Platz.
Commander Released
Berlin, Dec. 24. —Herr Wels,
military commander of Berlin, ar
rested Monday by revolting sailors
during tbe fighting in which many
sailors and republican guards were
killed and wounded, was released to
day. He spent the night In the base
ment of the former royal stables.
Some sailors were In favor of Im
mediate execution of Wels. Others
proposed that he be locked up In a
small chamber with the dead bodies
of sailors and other victims of Mon
day's fighting. That he escaped
violence and possible death/was due
to the intercession of Socialist
leaders.
Still Hold Stables
Fifty sailors. It Is reported, still
are concealed In the Ited Palace,
from which most of them were
driven Monday by the Republican
guards. Twelve hundred sailors are
holding out in the royal stables.
Both groups have announced that
the buildings would have to be
razed before they surrendered.
Looting has been in progress In
the palace since yesterday. Many
private possessions of the former
emperor and former empress have
been carried away or destroyed.
It Is reported that the marines are
expecting heavy reinforcements from
Kiel and WUhelmshaven.

ROYAL RECEPTION
: [Continued from First Page.]
I The President's trip to London
I was carried out according to sched- '
j ule. His train, which left Dover at
I 12.33 o'clock, arrived at Charing '
' Cross station here exactly on time.
I Guns Salute the President
' As the President's train crossed :
! the Thames and entered the station
. the crowd cheered. A salute of
forty-ono guns was fired from the
Tower of London and in Hyde Park.
The parade was witnessed by
such an outpouring of people and
umid such enthusiasm as London
t never had known exi-cpt upon the
. occasion of coronations and of
Queen Victoria's jubilee In 1897.
J Tho progress of the royal nnd
presidential party was in semi-state j
, coaches, each drawn by four horses.'
, with two postillions in scarlet coats, j
which breeches and black silk huts,
• with two footmen in long buff over- j
coats sitting behind. The coaches
were escorted by squads of scarlet
coated outriders.
Airplanes .Soar Above Wilson
Enthusiastic scenes marked the
President's arrival at the Charing
Cross station. As se, accompanied by
King George, emerged from the sta
tion the crowds repeatedly cheered.
Guns thundered out a salute and
dozens of airplanes soared overhead.
The bells and chimes throughout tho
city also pealed a welcome.
During tho procession from the
I station, flags, hats and liandkor-*
j chiefs were waved. The President
j was uncovered throughout the drive
to acknowledge the cheers.
Royalty Greets President
The scene inside the Charing Cross
station was no less cordial. The re-
I-caption party included King George,
I Queen Mary, Princess Mary, Premier
Lloyd George and all the members
| of the cabinet, the heads of the army
land navy, premiers from the various
dominions, a representative of India
and other officials. There was a
guard of honor from the Scots
Guards, while the band of tho Gren
adier Guards played the "Star Span
gled Banner. Tho King and Queen
and Princess Mary greeted the
President.
Meets Lloyd George
President Wilson, accompanied by
King George nnd the Duke of Con
naught, inspected the guard of
honor, after which they returned to
a space immediately in front of the
car in which they had traveled from
Dover. Premier Lloyd George and
the members of the reception com
mittee were then presented to the
President.
Before the President's arrival it
seemed as though London was to
have its coldest day of the winter.
There was ice in the streets and a
white frost on the grass. .At ]1
o'clock streets in the West End were
filled with holiday throngs afoot and
in motorcars.
Dover, England, Dec. 26. The
weather was bright and crisp this
I piorping and Dover wore a festal
[appearance with its decorations nnd
; its animated throngs ready to wet-j
I come - President and Mrs. Wilson. |
Their arrival was signaled by the |
firing of a royal salute. Large crowds
( lined the admiralty pier and its
• appearances long before theshrdl
approaches long before the President
1 came ashore.
■ The Duke of Connaught, with his
, suite, accompanied by John W. Da
' vis, the American ambassador, the
9 Earl of Reading, British ambassador
I to the United States, Lord Herschell,
Jjand the mayor and the corporation
e i of Dover were on tho pier to meet
.'the visitors. The mayor presented
j an address of welcome to the Presi
i j dent.
II President Whsoit then reviewed
the Guard oN Honor from the naval
l garrison of Dover.
The scene in the harbor as the
Presidential vessel entered was ani- j
- mated. Airplanes and seaplanes cir- |
i r cled overhead while the warships in |
. the harbor which joined the shore i
1 batteries in firing the salute were j
i gaily dressed with bunting. The
- crews manned ships and cheered as
the presidential boat passed into the
harbor.
Salute From Duver Cnwtle
As the Brighton entered the harbor
r the salute in honor of the President
* was fired from Dover Castle. This
1 was the first time since the beginning
" of the war that this honor had been
j accorded any visitor. The Brighton s
, I path was along the line of ships of
i the famous Dover patrol, all of which
were flying American flags and their
p. crews lining the rails. The bands,
a which when the Brighton was sighted
j had played "God Save the King," now
took up the "Star Spangled Banner."
e each ship's whole company standing
- at attention.
File* President'* Flag
The Brighton was flying the Pres
ident's flag, Admiral Keyes' pennant
and the British naval ensign. Airs.
Wilson, who was on deck, took the
k greatest interest in the evolutions of
the British destroyers.
The President, who appeared in
splendid spirits when he stepped
ashore, was immediately greeted by
the Duke of Connaught and the other
members of the welcoming party,
j After reviewing the Guard of Honor
he passed through the covered way
, to the station, where the mayor and
* the corporation in their scarlet robes
' of office extended a formal welcome.
Sir A. Bodklng, the city's recorder,
rend the address. Tho President re
plied briefly, as follows:
Wilson Responds to Address
"Wo have come through many seri
ous times together and, therefore can
regard each other in a new light as | 1
comrades and associates, because '
nothing brings men together like a
common understanding and a com
mon purpose.
"It is. therefore, with deep emotion
and peculiar gratification that I find
myself herq, afforded the opportunity
of matching my mind with the minds j'
of those who, with a like intention, r
are proposing to do the best they can
and that can be done in the greatest
settlement of the struggle."
Rose* Strewn In Path ,
As the Fresldeu-t walked to the ,
train a dozen girls wearing the Amer
ican colors strewed petals of roses In ;
his path. All this time the airplanes
had been hovering over the pier and
the station, nnd us the speclnl train ]
I bearing the President left for the
I capital the airmen also headed for
I London, accompanying the train all j
! the way. Aiany people had gathered
along the line of the railway and at I
different stations, cheering the Presl- I
dent as his train passed.
On Donrd President Wilson's Special!
Trnln F.n Route to Ualnls, Dec. 26.—'
President Wilson left Chaumont for!
England late yesterday, leellng more
strongly than ever the magnificent;
part American soldiers took in the!
winning of the war. Yesterday's re-1
view, in which 10,000 American sol-:
dlers marched, created a deep Impros-(
sion on the President quite apart!
from the historic significance of re-j
viewing fightinginen on foreign soil;
for the first time.
. When nddressing his troops as 'fel-j
low countrymen," he told them that:
he believed that he could "promise
them a happy New Year." This was!
considered tho keynote of the address'
end friends about Mr. Wilson eon-j
struct! his words to mean that he was!
beginning to see the way more clear-j
ly toward the attainment of the ob-l
jectives he has set for himself at vhe'i
peace conference.
At least one very important address!
may bo expected from the President!
while he is in England. It may rt>-!
fine his line of thought more clearly |
on issues In which Great Britain is sol
deeply Interested.
In liis address to the American
troops yesterday, President Wilson
said he had found no difference In
principles or of fundamental pur
pose. He expects to return to Paris
to continue the work of the peace
conference with what may be differ
ences of opinion cleared away or on
the way to accommodation.
Yesterday's review was a picture
worthy of a great painter. The sight
of 10,000 American veterans carrying
the United States llag on the soil of a
sister republic, a comrade in arms in
a great cause, was so impressive that
the President could not express his
emotion. He frankly admitted being
"all choked up."
Mr. Wilson's visit to soldiers' bil
lets In nearby towns long will be re
membered. At one place he climbed a
ladder to the loft of a stable to tailc
with soldiers quartered there. Every
where the boys and girls of tbe little
j villages brought native -flowers or
I gifts to him.
! One spry little miss actual)'* hopped
i into his car and kissed his cheek be
fore the President knew what was
going on. Ambassador and Madame
Jusserand, who accompanied Presi
dent and Mrs. Wilson to Chaumont,

Mr. Wilson's train started toward
