New York, Nov. 26.—George W.
WlckerHhnm, attorney general in tho
Taft administration, in ait address
here tonight before more than a hun-
dred educators, lawyers, l>unkers, and
merchants, engaged in international
trade who are members of the coun-
cil on foreign relations, advanced the
opinion that the constitution makes
it mandatory upon Vl^e l'resident
Marshall to assume office of presi-
dent if Mr. Wilson leaves the United
States to attend the .peace confer-
ence.
"The projected journey of the pres-
ident /to France and his suggested so-
journ there for an Indefinite period,"
said Mr. Wickersluim, "bring* up for
the first time in our history the
question of the effect of such absence
and of the powers of the vice pres-
ident because of such absence."
Quote* Constitution.
The former attorney general quoted
scctlon 1, of article 2, of the United
States constitution, which, he said,
prescribed the mode of procedure in
event of the president's removal from
office, his death, resignation, or in-
ability to discharge the duties of said
office. He maintained that absence
of the president from the seat of gov-
ernment and the country "constitutes
an inability to discharge the powers
and duties of his office," within the
meaning of the law.
According to Mr. Wilckersham, the
two most important functions the
president has to perform in connec-
tion with a session of congress at
which time, he held, "It is the presi-
dent's duty to be at the seat of gov-
ernment," are:
Must Walt on Congn-s.
First from time to time, to give to
congress information of tho state of
tho union, jjod recommend to then
consideration such measures as hi
shall Judf.a necessary and expedient,'
and s: cond, "to consider bills which
sliall have passed the house and sen-
at" find if ho approve, to sign them
and if he disapprove to veto them."
The ten days, provided by the law
wherein (lie president must return
hill or it automatically becomes law,
Recording to Mr. Wlckershnm, was in
tended "to give citizens interested in
the bill an opportunity of coninmnl
eating their views to him."
Should Watch Public Pulse.
Thu>: the president, he Contended,
is expected always to be in a position
to "feel the pulse of public sentiment
and, "if he is not within the country
ho cannot fitly discharge those
ditties."
A third consideration, the speaker
continued, "subsidiary to the others
Imt none the less important "is in
reference to the exercise by the pres-
ident of a function In connection with
legislation. In case of disagreement
between the two houses as to time of
adjournment, lie said, the president
may adjourn' them to such a time a
h<< .shall think proper. This power,
he admitted, has never been exercised
In the past because the president al-
ways has been at the seat of the gov-
ernment when congress was in ses-
sion. "and able to avert by friendly
counsel and sugg»stion the necessity
of exercising it."

Expiration Notice is
Mailed to Subscribers
A man who has been a reader of
the Telegram called the office over
the phone and declared that he
could not afford to miss reading
the paper but that he and all his
family were down with Influenza;
that as soon as he recovered he
would go to the post office and
mail a money order in payment.
On that argument his paper was
renewed.
There are several reasons why
the Telegram does not send the
paper after the time has expired,
the most important of which Is
that the government forbids it.
Notice of date of expiration Is
always sent previous to the date of
expiration, which notice should be
heeded by those who hope to read
every copy and not miss any of

Peru and Chile
-Patch Up Their
Trouble Through
Frank Apologies
(AMOClnted Press Dlapatch.)
New York, Nov. 26.—Difficulties
between Peru and Chile, which re-
sulted yesterday In recall of consular
representatives by each nation from
the principal cities of Its neighbors,
have been overcome by an apology
on the part of the Peruvian govern-
mont, Carlos Castro Itulz, consul
general of Chile, announced here to-
night. •
A cablegram informing him of the
Peruvian apology wag received to
night by Mr. Ruiz, according to his
statement from the Chilean minister
of foreign affairs.
The message, the consul asserted,
authorized him to announce that the
Peruvian officials admitted that In
making public reports of outbreaks
against their citizens in Iqulque and
Antofagasta, Chile, they had acted
on misinformation. This was fur-
nished, he said, by the Peruvian con-
sul at Iqulque, whose authority had
been cancelled for this reason by
the Chilean government.
The opology sent from Lima, Mr.
Ruli added, was wholly satisfactory
to the Chilean officials, and "brought
the misunderstanding to an end."
The consul general stated that a
series of messages received from
Santiago today dented reports of anti-
Peruvian demonstrations In Chile.
The cablegrams further announced,
he said, that the dismissal of the
Peruvian envoy at Iqulque, "had pro-
voked in Peru a certa'n agitation
that determined my government to
authorize Its consuls in Chile to re-
turn home If the circumstances justi-
fied."
Despite a border dispute between
the two countries. Mr. Ruiz declared
that Chile had "the utmost sympathy"
for Peru and liad taken steps to
watch the frontier so as to prevent
Peruvian revolutionists from receiving
arms or ammunitions from com-
patriots residing in Chile. Ills govern-
ment, he added, had taken active
measures to assls^ Peru in maintain
ing a st,'tide government.

Paris, Nov, 26.—A league of
nations Is likely to figure before the
peace conference at a very early stage
of the proceedings, Instead of being
relegated to the clOBe, after the ter-
ritorial aspirations of the various
powers are settled.
Two distinct viewpoints have now
■ developed on this subject, The
American view Is that the coming
| congress will not be like the Vienna
congress which devoted Itself prin-
cipally to arranging what each power
should receive as a result of the
Napoleonic upheaval. According to
the American view the present war
was based on certain high Ideals and
was not a strugle for territorial gains.
Ideals Come First.
Therefore .it Is malnaUned, Ideals
should come before territorial aspira-
tions In the deliberations of the con-
gress, and these Ideals having been
first defined should thereafter be the
main guides In national aspirations.
One of the chief of these ideals, It
Is pointed out, was to prevent future
warfare, and a league of natldns has
been generally and officially accept-
ed as the most practical organization
for accomplishing that ideal. It is
therefore held that this should be one
of the first subjects considered and
should set a standard of ideals for
other subjects followingi

Soldiers Welcomed
(Associated Pre<» Dispatch.)
With the American Army of oc-
cupation, Nov. 20.—Prussian officers
continue to contend that they are re-
turning home with the hope of being
aide eventually to bring about the re-
instatement of former emperor to
power.
The soldiers of a German division,
according to reports reaching the
Americans, said they favored a
monarchy. The ex-emperor con-
tinue* to be a popular idol according
to their views. The men said
they believed William Hohenzollern
eventually\ would be returned to the
throne when the soldiers reached
home and their influence was felt
throughout the country.
Beyond Treves, the withdrawing
German troops are being received
with open arms by the civilians in the
villages. This is reported by British
soldiers reaching the American lines.
Everywhere, tlie Britishers said,
the civilians liad strung signs of
welcome over the village streets and
were receiving the German soldiers
as heroes.
viow of proceedure has found warm
supporters In England and France
though there is also another view-
point which clings to the old pro
cedure under the Vienna congress,
whereby claims for territory should
have first consideration.
Groat Need of Pcaeo.
Those urging that territorial ques-
tions should come first say that it Is
highly desirable to sign a peace treaty
embodying the essential details at the
earliest possible moment, so as to
terminate the "Bfficlal war period
under which troops are held for the
duration of the war, and railroads,
telegraph and other public utilities
are similarly affected until peace Is
declared. According to this view an
early peace agreement on essentials
would release the armies, Including
the American troops holding the oc-
cupied regions.
Having secured an early agreement
on territorial and other practical de-
tails, It is suggested the larger gen-
eral questions ,liko a league of
nations could come up later for ex-
tended discussion either by the peace
congress or a separate International
congrefcS to formulate the working
details of the league. This view is
chiefly held by those favoring the old
Vienna congress proceedure of in-
dividual claims first, while the
American viewpoint Is distinctly fav-
orable to establishing ideals first as
the guiding principle of the congress

British Need Ships
for Own Soldiers
(Associated Press Dispatch.)
New York, Nov. 26.—A statement
made here today from authoritative
sources regarding the part British
ships have played in the transport-
ing to Europe of the American army,
disclosed that England may be com-
pelled soon to use all of her avail-
able transports for the return to their
homes of troops of the British em-
pire.
There are British troops to be re-
turned from Mesopotamia, Italy and
France" to England, and there are
Australian, Indian, African, Cana-
dian and other colonial forces to be
returned from France. So great Will
be the demand on Birtlsh vessels
for this service, It was said that the
use of ships for American overseas
forces may not be possible to any
great extent for gome time to come.
It was authoritatively stated here
today that British vessels carried
1,030,417 American troop* to England
and France during the war.
(Associated Press Dispatch.)
Washington, Nov. 26.—Soldiers who
liave been incapacitated In overseas
service and who are convalescing in
this country, will be assembled at
twenty-seven camps for organization
into convalescent detachments. Gen
oral orders issued today by the war
department provide for the formation
of these detachments and the aban-
donment of the practice of transfer-
ring convalescent men from overseas
to development battalions. Ttv con-
valescent men will be sent to camps
nearest their homes and the order says
"It is the intention to discharge all
overseas convalescents as soon as pos-
sible consistent with maximum physi-
cal Improvement."
Intensive treatment mid training of
the detachments will be undertaken,
the order provides, so that the cure or

and their subsequent discharge may

facilities which would become ours.
Also their language and literature are
the same as ours."
Afraid of Czeclis.
The secretary of etate added that
the hostility of the Cxechs and Hun-
garians toward the Austrlans and the
reports that efforts would be made
by the Czechs even to take part of
German speaking Austria made •
union of tho German states necessary
for self preservation. He said there
was 'another proposal to create along
the Danube new republics.
It was evident to observers here,
Dr. Bauer continued, that the peace
conference must aid in tho settling of
the difficulties of the new republ!
and lead them toward prosperity. He
said that he and other members of
the government had been rather re-
lieved to learn that there would be a
mission sent by the allies to help In
the adjustment of boundary disputes
to the satisfaction of all concerned
and with the chief object of pre-
venting new wars.
Wnr Material Lost,
As the Czechs have u strong army,
Dr. Bauer continued, they are feared
both In Austria nnd Hungary, whose
war material was mostly abandoned
on the Italian front or else seized
during the retreat. The Jugo-Slavs,
however, were Hungarians, the sec-
retary of state concluded and he felt
that they would resist the efforts of
tho Czechs to take l'resburg and other
points claimed by them.
Vienna, Thursday, Nov. 21.—The
food situation Is a general topic of
conversation. It is evident that there
Is plenty of food In the hotels and
restaurants for those persons who
are able to pay the equivalent of
from two to five dollars for each
meal. The poor have been unable to
obtain rice or macaroni. That this
class of the population Is still alive
is due simply to their endurance.
According to Dr. Walter Otis, an
American, food conditions were never
so bad as now, both in Vienna and the
country districts. On the farms there
still are a certain number of hogs
being fattened with milk. This milk,
Dr. Otis said, wns really needed for
the sick, but the farmers earned more
money by feeding It to their hogs.
John Arthur Weiss, another Ameri-
can, says there Is enough bread for
another two months.
Speculation In fi>od during the war
has been one of the chief causes of
the poor suffering. It Is said that
Archduke Frederick, uncle of the
former emperor, speculated In the
milk produced on his farm near Vien-
na. lie Is now a fugitive and his
great palace In the Albrecht platz is
Cosed.

extradition of the former Got.
man emperor is being considered
by British law officers of the
crown, wlio arc working in close
co-operation with the French au-
thorities. Action In tlie premises
was taken Immediately after tlie
flight of the former emperor to
Holland. The Evening News
says It understands the law of-
ficers have concluded tliat the
allies are entitled to demand the
extradition of the former emper-
or, nnd that this decision applies
also to Individuals who have com.
inlttod or given Instructions for

crimes. It l« added that Hol-

ERIsIN, Nov. 26.—Tlie "Rod Flag" organ of Do-. Karl
Liebkacht, In commenting upon tlie disclosures at
Munich concerning tho part which Germany plaved in
bringing about the world war, declares in vehement
tones:
"We demand an immediate convention of the revolu-
tionary tribunal for the purpose of passing sentence upon the
HohenzollernB—father and son—and Von Bethmarni-Hollwog
Wilhelm II must be commanded to return and give an account-
ing before this tribunal."
The Spartacus organ also demands a reckoning with
prominent socialist leaders, including Ebert, Molkenbur and
others. As a further illustration of the growing public senti-
ment in Berlin, Vorwaerts, a leading socialist newspaper
says:
"We have been told that Germany had no knowledge of
Austria's ultimatum to Servla. It is a lie. Berlin was said
to have admonished Vienna to 'go alow.' It was a lie."
The independent socialist organ says:
"They (the Hohenzollerns) committed high treason
We cannot lay hands on Wilhelm and his son, but it is to be
hoped that they will yet be brought to justice."

Constantinople, Sunday, Nov. 21.—
"This In t war was the most disastrous
In the history of Turkey, not because
she was beaten but because It made
enemies of nations naturally our
friends," declared Abdual MedJIdef-
fendl, heir to the Ottoman throne, to
the correspondent of th<» Associated
Press, whom he received today.
'The present sultan and myself," he
continued, ^"denounced the proposal
that Turkey enter the war. Moham-
med V, who was then reigning,
showed weakness before a clique of
adventurers like Bey and Haver Bey,
then cabinet ministers and now fugi-
tives, whom, Germany had fed with
dreams of power.
"I am more ashame l of the Armen-
ian atrocities committed during tho
war than of anything in our history
but I must Insist that they were
against the will of the present sultan
and the nation as a w hole. They were
instigated by unpatriotic ministers
who were guaranteed in their places
by their services to German militar-
ism. The fanaticism of tribes in their
dislike for their neighbors and the
brutality of provincial officers served
as the mediums, while the censored
press here concealed the facts from
the general public. Tho membei < of
the Imperial family tried to mnke the
of their prestige against this but were
Imprisoned in the palace.
"Of the future, I can say we must
have foreign assistance as the country
Is exhausted. We prefer to deal with
one nation, because the difficulties of
international control have lieen shown
elsewhere, but we welcome any con-
trol not menacing the sovereignty of
the caliph.''

Washington, Nov. 26.— News from
France today that the Twenty-seventh
and Thirtieth divisions, which hav®
been fighting with the British Fourth
army, have been withdrawn with only
approximately 12,500 officers and men
In each, does not mean that these or-
ganizations have been reduced to less
than half of their normal strength In
the severe fighting on the British front
before the signing of the armistice.
Army officers recalled today that
only the infantry and machine gun
units of these divisions went into ac-
tion itflth the British forces, the artil-
lery being used elsewhere. It also
was regarded as more than probable
that the infantry and machine gun
units were reduced in number so as
to make the division conform In slzo
to the British divisions with which
they were operating.
The British divisional units number
about 12,500 men. Tlie Twenty-sev-
enth Is the New York national guard
division, commanded liy MaJ. Gen.
John F. O'Rynn, tho only national
guard officer to have served through
the war with that high rank. Tlie
Ohirtieth division was composed of tlie
Tennessee, North Carolina and South
Carolina national guard and was
known as tho "Wild cat" division.
Both these organizations saw heavy
action with the British and were
highly commended by British officers
for their desperate fighting when
Marshal OfaOg's armies were smashing
the 1 llndenhurg lino in northern
France early In the fall and in later
engagements. Their lossen undoubted-
ly have been heavy, but It Is not re-
garded as probable that half their
original strength figured in the casr
ualty lists.
