transport
NEW YORK.—The
George Washington, carrying Presi
dent Wilson, Mrs. Wilson and other
peace delegates, pulled out from
the dock at 10:15 this morning.
The approaches to the dock from
the land and sea were protected
by special police and warships, while
a squadron of airplanes hovered
over all the time and accompanied
the transport for some distance out
to sea. ,
The pier was elaborately decor
ated and the gang-plank was beauti
fully canopied with flags, under
which the presidential party passed
to board the vessel. The ship has
been most elaborately fitted with
every modern convenience for the
safety and comfort of the distin
guished party.
Phonographs have been placed in
the lounging rooms, card tables
fastened to the deck of the smoking
room. The library replenished with
historical and scientific books, the
gymnasium thoroughly refitted and
new equipment placed there, and
for the delectation of the passengers
two military bands will be on hand
whenever such music is desired.
The picture of George and Martha
Washington now occupy the place j
of honor in the vessel’s saloon where ■
the picture of the former German j
kaiser used to be when the vessel ;
was German owned.
Secretary of State Robert Lans ng
and Former Ambassador Henry,
White, two of the members o/ the!
American peace delegation are with
President Wilson; General Tasker
H. Bliss and Colontl House, the
other members of the Amreican
delegation, are already in Europe.
Before President Wilson sailed it |
became known that he goes eith the;
firm determination and with the
avowed purpose of crushing out
Prusian militairsm. His attitude
against militarism in any form has
been .clearly defined already, and
the elimination of this militarism
is part of his plan for future world
peace.
As the steamer started out on
this unprecedented voyage, Mrs. Wil
son stood on the flying bridge,
which is the highest point on the!
vessel to which passengers are al-'
lowed to climb. I
President Wilson was in high
spirits and looked forward to the
voyage with a great deal of pleas
ure. This is the first long voyage
the President has undertaken since 1
assuming office, and while acknow- 1
leding that he had a reputation 1
for being a bad sailor, he said it
might mean enforced rest for a few '
days. * <

WILSON’S TERMS
GIVEN AIRING BY
1 G. 0. P. SENATORS
Senators Think People Should En
dorse Peace Te'mi Enunciated
By President Wilson.
WASHINGTON, D. C.—General
discussions regarding the fourteen
peace principles laid down by Presi
dent Wilson in his address of Janu
ary 8th and in subsequent addresses
was started in the Senate today,
when Senator Joseph S. Freling
huysen (Republican) of New Jersey,
made a strong speech advocating
the adoption of a resolution re
quiring the President to make a
public declaration which will give
his interpretation of these prin
ciples.
These principles, the senator
pointed out, are open for interpre
tation by the senators and, he
thought, that President Wilson
should not make radical proposals
on behalf of the people of the
United States until he was sure that
the people endorsed them.
Senator Thomas J. Walsh ( Demo
crat) of Montana, declared that a
lack of criticism, until recently, of
the fourteen terms enunciated by
President Wilson on which peace
terms are to be based’ justified a
general belief in their acceptability
by the people. These terms have
been accepted by all the nations
at war.
Senator Philander C. Knox (Re
publican) of Pennsylvania, and Sen
ator Miles Poindexter (Republican)
of Washington, sharply dissented.

Commerce, composed of representa

Secretary rrf Commerce Redfield
sounded a note of warning to his
hearers and told them that they
must not hastily lay rash hands upon
the 'scale of wages now ruling for

carrying capacity taken up for the

NOI ON LISTS
Casualty Reports Did Not Make
Any Mention of Soldiers Who
Were Slightly Wounded.
WASHINGTON', D. C.—Secretary
of War Newton D. Baker announced
today that he believes that the un
reported casualties were those of
the men who were only slightly
wounded in action.
The Senate Military committee,
he said, are now investigating the
delay in furnishing these casualty
lists as the reports received indi
cated that over one hundred thous
and casualties still remain unpub
ished.
Sccretay Baker declared that he
lad repeatedly asked General Pershi
ng to expedite the lists and that the
var department never delayed in
nuking the announcement of the
casualties.
Dr. de la Vergne arrived at the
.’ommission hospital yesterday from
luarantine camp No. 1, and has al
eady resumed duties.
The doctor was called to Fair
lanks on business some time ago,
nd owing to the establishment of
luarantine against the upper town
nd the consequent curtailment of
raveling facilities between the two
owns, was obliged to make a longer
tay than he had at first intended.
He arrived on Roy Lund’s mail
tage and spent a night at the quar
ntine camp before coming in to
own.
