14 AMERICAN PRESS WRITERS GUESTS OF NORTHCLIFFE Eminent British Newspaper Man Says Hostility Is i Absent in England I.ondon, Pee. 28.—Forty American j newspaper correspondents who are visiting London with president Wil son's party were entertained at lunch con yesterday by Lord NorthcllfCe at the Times office and at dinner last night by the Newspaper Proprietors' Association. The principal speeches delivered at v the luncheon were by Baron Burn ham. Richard V. Oulahan. of the New * York Times, David Lawrence, of the I New York Evening Post. Herbert Swope, of the New York World. Ad miral Sims, commander of the Amer- | loan naval forces, and Rabbi Stephen , S. Wise, of New Y'ork. Lord Northcliffe, in welcoming his ' guests, said they would find absolute ly no hostility to the United States j in England. Momentary instances of irritation had faded invay, and in ! the same way lie was certain some ; of the supposed differences about the coming peace conference would dis- , appear in the capable hands the Uni- j ted States and Great had placed them. Lord Northcliffe added that the | American Journalists had jeen ttie ; kind of welcome President Wilson , had received in London, and that it , was more than remarkable—that it i was unprecedented. Baron Burnham, in extending cord- ' lal welcome to the guests, made a j strong plea for the abolition of all j censorship. He said that if there j had been more real freedom of the press, and if secrets had been more | fully revealed, there would have been j no war.

This lct elations made hy Princee Liehnow sky. German ambassador at London at the outbreak of the war and by Dr. Mueblon, who was a Krupp di rector. The letter gives textually many conversations with the Kaiser on his war projects and also several let ters addressed to the Prince as "My Dear Cousin," and signed "Your highness' devoted friend, cousin and admirer, William, I. R." Close Intinincy Shown The conversations cover years of close intimacy, during which Prince Albert was a frequent guest of the emperor in Berlin and in Kiel, and at the emperor's summer palace on the Island of Corfu. The Prince's letter "to his Majesty Wilhelm II" I addresses the German ruler directly throughout as "Sire." It recalls their I conversations in which the emperor expressed his ideas for Germany's future and then gives the successive steps in which he yiellded to the military element. j Recalling to the ex-emperor their conversations, the Prince says: "1 was deeply impressed with tlie I talk I had with you when we inaug | urated the Observatory of Leden burg. When I condemned the mili tarizing of a people as stunting indi vidual development you described to me the advantages of such a form of national education outside its purely military objects because, as you said, it relieved men from the heaviness of their bearing. This was your conception of the practical end of a system the application of which |is terrifying the world. To-day in tho path of your armies are strewn the marks of this education, which betray your true end or your.pro found errcr. "Although you said to me one day that it was not your right to take a certain action which would have conserved world peace, yet you told me on the yacht Meteor on June 28, 1914, in learning of the assassina tion of Archduke Ferdinand, 'Now 1 must do everything over again.' "History will recognize in these ! two manifestations of your con | science the truth of your responsi | bility for a deliberate war." Dollar and Week's Vacation For Kreamer Co. Employes !

NEVADA TURNED GUNS ! ON BRITISH FLEET 1 [Continued from First Page.] i a story—always about some one else, i | On the Nevada. Captuin William C. , j Cole is held in high esteem by his . men. This is the reason, as related by a sailor and corrborated by other: "We were out In the North sea nine . o'clock in the morning when in the i thick fog we ran lntf> a flock of cruis -1 ers. We set' signals to show who i we were but those cruisers didn't answer. "The captain ordered to show our signals once more and we did, and when there was no answer he gave the order: 'Sound quarters, train all guns and open fire.' " Just then tlie sailor adde*l sadly, the cruisers signalled that they be longed to the British grand fleet, and the Nevada lost a chance to fight the whole tleet single handed. Of the ten thousand officers and men of tho overseas dreadnaught unit about six thousand are on leave from two days to a' week. The fleet is expected to remain here until about I January 6. j Whether there shall he a reception | for the destroyers that served in for | eign waters rests with Secretary | Daniels. It is said that the destroy ■ ers may not cross tho Atlantic in a unit and may not head for this port, which is eager to welcome 'hem. There are said to be fifty-six de stroyers on the other side of the ocean or headed this way. Some are coin ing home byway of the Azores, others will slop at Bermuda, and still others will come over the northern route. The destroyers, it is said, have been ordered to proceed to their home j ports, anil New York is the home I port of only a Tew of tho fifty-six. | FEBRUARY VOTE IS ANTICIPATED i Belief That the Legislature Will Then Discuss Pro hibition Amendment | The consensus of opinion is that j the next Legislature will vote in v | February or March on the prohibi tion amendment. There is much speculation in newspapers as to what will happen and some editors look for ratification. The Pittsburgh Gazette-Tim es,' which has been reviewing the sit uation, says: "So far the 'dry' pro gram has not been definitely ngreed upon. Mr. Sproul has given tlio , "dry' leaders to understand that lie ' I Is ready to go along with any plan they suggest. If they desire to have 1 the matter called up in the Legisla ture before, he retires from the Sen- > . ate, or if they decide to delay the 1 vote until January 21, whn lie bc- I comes Governor, the decision will ho satisfactory to him. in case the j amendment is not considered until I after the inauguration of the Gov ernor, and this course is possible, there is strong likelihood that no action will be taken until the. special elections are held to till the senu- I torial vacancies caused by the pro ! motions of Mr. Sproul to the exeeu- Itivo chair and Senator E. E. Beidle nian of Dauphin to the Lieutenant Governorship. Their successors | would likely take their seats some * j time in February. "The postponement of the vote on i tlie amendment until February quite j likely will mean that Pennsylvania j will not be one of the first thirty , six states to ratify. The Legislatures of tliirty-three states convene next month on dates ranging from tlie tirst to the 20th of January. As fif teen states have ratilled, the affirma tive action of twenty-one additional Legislatures is necessary to make i the amendment a part of the Fed eral constitution. "The Legislatures of ten stales | will convene before the Penns.vl i vatiia lawmakers come together. These are Colorado, Idaho, Maine, II Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, New j York, Ohio, Tennessee and Wash- i ington. The meeting date In Penn- : j sylvania is January 7, and on the | same day these Legislatures organ -11 ize: California, Minnesota. North , I Carolina, Oklahoma and Rhode Island. Prompt action Is expected | In most of these sixteen states. Wil liam J. Bryan has made the DrCdic- I tlon that the amendment will be . I ratified by January 20. Affirmative action in twenty-five of the thirty three states before the end of Jan- , uary would not be the least surpris ing. "A majority of tlie senators and representatives from' Western Penn sylvania will go to Harrisburg i pledged to vote for ratification. At. | present the western senators slatul I eleven 'dry' and eight unpledged. Of ! the latter class Allegheny county | furnishes live. Tn the House in this same territory the drys' have fifty members, and the unpledged forces total thirty. Allegheny coun'y is re sponsible for twenty of tlio un pledged votes and four more come j from Fuyette." (ÜBS FRACTURED IN I ALL . Union Deposit.
