of Epidemic.
SEATTLE, Dec. 3.—After ample
signs of the abatement of the dis- ^
ease was noticeable and the modi
fication of the quarantine measures
were seriously contemplated, a fresh
outbreak seems to have occurred
in the city and the disease is again
on the increase. All of the strin
gent measures taken, some of which
were relaxed temporarily, have
again been enforced to prevent the
spread of the disease. It is be
lived that a strict quarantine will
be established in Seattle until the
abatement of the epidemic. The
wearing of masks is compulsory.
In the city of Spokane the re
appearance of the disease has ne
cessitated the closing of the schools
and all places of public meeting
once more. All the stringent meas
ures adopted to combat the disease
when it first made it sappearance
have been put into force again.
Two hundred fresh cases are re
ported from Portland, and every
thing is closed up tight. No public
gatherings of any sort will be al
lowed in the city.

President Considers It Paramount
Duty to Be Present At Coming
Peace Conference.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 2.—
President Wilson- addressing a joint
sesion of Congress, formally an-|
nounced his intention to go to Paris
for the purpose of attending the
peace conference to be held shortly.
He said that he considered it his
paramount duty to attend the con
ference in person because the gov
ernments of the Allied nations had
accepted the principles enunciated
by him as a basis for the peace ne
gotiations. He will be in constant
touch by cable and wireless with
Congress, he said, and Cf‘ier«ss
would be kept fully informed of all
the happenings at the peace con
; ference.
He stated that France and Eng
land had agreed to remove all cable
restrictions upon the transmission,
of news of the conference to Amer
ica and that he had taken over the
American cable system on expert
advice for the purpose of making
the unified system valuable. He
i expressed the hope that the public
j and Congress will co-operate with
| him; the constant advice and coun
j cel of Congress during the progress

Regarding the railroad problem
the President said that he had nc
solution to offer at present, bul
thought that it would be inadvisable
to permit the railroads to return te
the old conditions without modifi
cations. The roads will be readj
for release from government con
trol, he said, whenever a favorable
solution to the railroad problem hai
been reached.
With regard to the actual con
elusion of peace, the President sai(
that he hoped to see a formal de
claration of peace by spring.
He endorsed the three-year nava
building program because he sai<
it would be unwise to attempt to ad
just the American naval progran
to our future world policy, as thi
policy remains undetermined.
He praised the work done by th<
women in the war, and made i
strong appeal to Congress to gran
women suffrage.
He said he had no persona
purpose in going to France, and re
garded it is his highest duty ii
playing a full part in making goo
arid consolidating what American
had given their life blood to obtair
Regarding the work of recor
struction in the war-torn countrie:
he said that a definite program o
the reconstruction work that wi
have to be undertaken cannot b
outlined at the present time.
The President’s address laste
forty-two minutes, and he left th
chamber amidst applause, whic
was limited to the Democratic sid

PLOT 10 OFFER
KAISER 1101
IS FRUSTRATED
Se> ret Service Men Discover Plot
to Rethrone Former Kaiser
Many Arrested.
_
: .ONDON.—Despatches received |1
fr m Amsterdam today state that 1
a lot has been discovered in Berlin
to | rethrone the former kaiser, by '
ag ints of the secret service, who 1
o'* :rheard a telephone conversation
an 1 followed up the clue so ob
ta ned, causing the complete collapse
of the plot.
German munition makers had
placed large sums of money at the
disposal of the plot leaders, included
among whom were General Mack
enson, General von Bom and Gen
eral Count Amin.
A great many of those implicated
j-i the plot have been arrested in
Berlin and other cities and, as a re
sult of the disclosures made by some
of those arrested and the informa
tion gleaned by the secret service -
men, the government is in posses- j
sion of a long list of suspects who
planned to seize the members of
the newly constituted government.
No direct evidence has as yet
been discovered of the former
kaiser’s connection with the plot
and the evidence gathered so far also
shows that General von Hindenburg
absolutely declined to join the plot
saying that he intended to retire to
private life after the demobilization
of the German army, of which he
is still the head.
It was discovered that the entire
court was in sympathy with the i
plotters. Lieutenant Krupp is re
ported to be the financial manager
of the plot that failed.
