W1Y KILLED IN FIGHTING ON STREETS OFJERLIN Headquarters of Mutinous Sailors Captured by Republican Guard After Extended Struggle REGIMENTS JOIN REVOLT (By Associated Press) LONDON, Dec. 26 The mutinous sailors who have been holding out in .the Red Palace in Berlin have hoisted the white flag and have been allowed to leave under guard, according to advices from Berlin sent by the Exchange Telegraph correspondent at Amsterdam. Government troops the message adds now occupy the palace and the royal stables. The Alexander and Franzer regiments have openly Joined the revolting sailors in Berlin and it is predicted in advices sent from Berlin late Christmas night that nearly the entire Berlin garrison will support them, leaving the government without troops. The organization or sailors sug gested to the government ten days ago that it be authorized to organize a sailors guard of 6000 men, the Lokal Anzelger says it is informed. The sug gestion was coupled with a demand for greater increased wages and back pay to November 9. The government, the paper adds, declined to entertain the proposition. Havensteln Resigns. Nearly 100 persons were killed in the street fighting which began In Berlin on Tuesday morning, according to the latest reports from the German capital, transmitted by the Exchange Telegraph correspondent at Copenhagen. Political leaders in Berlin, including many who never were identified with the present government were disposed to believe that the effort to halt the government was no longer intact as the result of the happenings of Thursday. The Independent socialists hold that Premier Ebert was rerponsible for the predicament into which the government was forced. They declare that their representatives in the government were not .-ware that he had called on the troops in Potsdam under Lieut. General Lequis to oppose the sailors with armed force. Other circles opposed to the government alleged that the cabinet compromise with the sailors r mounted to an abject capitulation, and was victory for the radical element and those opposing the calling of the national assembly. Dr. Rudolph Havensteln, president of the imperial bank of Germany has Vesigned, according to a message from Copenhagen. Dr. Hazenstein became president of the Reichsbank in December 1907, in succession to Dr. Koch. The bank under his direction had charge of the war finances. He has been a supporter of the Pan-Germans. RED GROSS OBTAINS 13,000 MEMBERS Approximately 13.000 members were neenred in the Red Cross Christmas Roll Call, although final reports from Ave townships are not in yet. About 1.1,000 members were secured in the campaign immediately preceding Christmas, 1917. The managers are dlpappointed that this year's quota of 30,000 was so far from secured, but it Is thought that most of the people of the community who were interested in the former work of the Red Cross are desirous of an intensive and general continuation of its activities, and Joined again this year. The work of the manager, Mrs. Frank Druitt, the various captains, and the ward and township solicitors has been praised, as well as the generous response and co-operation of the factories of the city, which allowed campaigning to be carried on during working hours. One thousand four hundred members were secured in the factories of Richmond. The townships in most cases doubled their membership of last year, but Richmond has fallen behind in the final calculations. FIVE KILLED IN WRECK. CHICKASHA. Okla.. Dec. 26.

SINN FEINERS WIN MAJORITY OF IRISH SEATS Will Attempt to Convoke Irish Nationalist Assembly Early in January. (By Associated Press) DUBLIN. Dec. 26. The Sinn Fein victories over the Nationalists In the recent narliamentary election exceed ed the highest hope of the Sinn Felners. It is believed that when the final count is made on December 28, the Sinn Feiners will have won a majority of the Irish seats. In fact before the election they had gained 25 seats because the Nationalists did not oppose them. ' The Sinn Feiners elected will not take their seats. They will forfeit tne 150 Dounds sterling which they had to post as an election fee and which Is returnable only when a member takes his oath and his seat. Their Immediate purpose, according to one of the most prominent leaders, Is to convoke an Irish Nationalist assembly early in January. The assembly would draft a national constitution for Ireland, which would be laid before a conference of all nations. The free separation and a republic wholly independent of Great Britain are bold ly claimed by some BInn reiners. DESCRIBE SINKING OF ENGLISH SUB (By Associated Press) LONDON, Dec. 26. The official report of the sinking of the famous British submarine E-14 oft the Dardanelles early in 1918 with the loss of her commander, Lieut. Commander Geoffrey White and all except seven of the crew, has just been published. The E-14 left MudroB on the evening of January 27 and proceeded up the Dardanelles to search for the Goeben. After diving under submarine nets, she found that the Goeben had left a few hours previously, so Commander White turned back, keeping a sharp lookout for enemy craft. A torpedo was flred at the ship which carried the-iGoeben's ammunition, causing a heavy explosion which extinguished the submarine's lights and sprung the fore hatch. Leaking badly, the submarine rose to the surface. The forts immediately opened a heavy fire but did not hit her. She submerged 100 feet and continued on her course but becoming unsteady, she was brought to the surface as she could not longer be relied on under water. Heavy fire immediately opened on both sides of the straits and a shell hit the hull, destroying the upper steering gear. An E-14 survivor says: "Orders were given to steer from below and we ran tne gauntlet ior half an hour, only a few shots hitting us. The captain, seeing the escape was hopeless, ran toward shore his last words were: 'We are in God's hands.' only a few seconds later I looked for him and saw his body, mangled by shell fire, roll into the watfir and eo under. The last Bhell hit the starboard side of our boat kill ing nea it, I believe. The submarine soon afterwards ran into a 6and bank close in shore and the Turks picked up the survivors.

At all times the newspaper workers, from the managing editor to the reporter, displayed an intense, patriotic desire to aid in making the work of the Emergency Fleet corporation a success.

President Wilson left Chaumont for England late yesterday afternoon feeling more strongly than ever the magnmcent part American soldiers took In the winning of the war. Yesterday's review, in which ten thousand American soldiers marched before him, created a deep impression on the President, quite apart from the historic significance of reviewing fighting men on foreign soli for the first time. When addressing his troops as "Fel low Countrymen," he told them that he believed that he could "promise them a happy New Year."

IITM

Yesterday's review w-as a picture worthy of a great paimer. The sight of 10,000 American veterans carrying the United States flag on the soil of a sister republic, a comrade in arms in a great cause was just a little too much to permit the President to suppress his emotion. He frankly admitted being "all choked up." Mr. Wilson's visit to soldiers billets in nearby towns will long be remembered. At one place he climbed a ladder to the loft of a stable to talk with soldiers quartered there. Everywhere the boys and girls of the little villages brought native flowers or gifts to him. One spry little miss actually hopped into his car and planted a kiss on his cheek before the President knew what was going on. Ambassador and Madame Jusserand, who accompanied President and Mrs. Wilson to Chaumont, left for Paris at the same time that Mr. Wilson's train started toward Calais. . GARRANZA GIVEN FINANCIAL POWERS (By Associated Press) MEXICO CITY. Dec. 26. Extraordinary powers in financial matters have been extended to President Carranza by the Chamber of Deputies.

President Carranza is expected soon to issue decrees removing until June 30, 1919, import duties on foodstuffs, articles of primary necessity to the coun try and on agricultural implements, and irrigation machinery.

Constructural reforms have been proposed by which the force of several sections of the constitution will be mitigated.

ACCORDED ROYAL HONORS LONDON, Dec. 26. President and Mrs. Wilson were In Buckingham Palace this afternoon after a journey from Calais to London during which they were accorded all the honors ever given royalty. Never has a royal progress, except those of great national ceremonials excited such interest here as the first state visit of an American president. The drive of the short procession from the station to the palace was made through streets lined with the guards regiments in khaki. Fresh flags hung overhead and covered the buildings, while windows, balconies, sidewalks and open spaces were filled with people, many of whom wore the American colors. Probably the most interesting part of the spectacle for the president was the people who were crowded everywhere to greet him. The day being a holiday, workingmen and women had a chance to turn out with their small children. They made the most of their opportunity and to no stratum of British humanity could the president have made a stronger appeal. Greeted By King. While the formal features were well staged and managed the human factor presented the most interest. The interior of the grimy old station where King George welcomed Mr. Wilson was carpeted' with red and the walls and roofs were hidden behind masses of flags. Club windows were mostly monopolized by men, while the hotels and stores along the way were filled with gay parties only less interesting than those on the streets. That such masses of American flags could be produced at such short notice was a revelation of London's resources and none appreciated them more than the American soldiers and bluejackets among the spectators. It was a brief spectacle. First came the sovereign's escort of troops from the household cavalry, with helmets and steel cuirasses. Then came the carriages with King George and President Wilson, and Queen Mary, Mrs. Wilson and Princess Mary. These were followed by three others, which passed almost unnoticed, as all eyes were on Mr. and Mrs. Wilson and the royal family. ,.-J.J..ti Tour of London. Although the trip was a short one, it lay through a most interesting section of London. From Charing Cross the route ran along the north side of Trafalgar Square, with the Nelson monument towering on the left and the national gallery on the right, its gray walls almost covered by huge American and British flags. It continued along Pall Mall, turning northward at St James Place and up St. James Street to Piccadilly the chief landmarks along this stage being the solid, weather-worn buildings of the old London Clubs now decked with bunting they keep for special occas ions. The procession drove westward along the north side of Piccadilly, passing a tract of clubs and big hotels and palatial residences, notably the home of the Duke of Devonshire, with the Cross flae over it, and the residence of the Duke of Welling ton, at the entrance of Hyde ram, where the procession turned. Between Piccadilly and Buckingham Palace there stretches a green park which was dark with people. The rartv Hmve nast Wellington Arch- and slong the southern side of the park. flanked on the right by tne wan or tne palace ground and then into the broad plaza before the palace. DOVER, Eng.. Dec. 26. The weather was bright and crispy this morning and Dover wore a festal appearance with its decorations and its animated throngs ready to welcome President and Mrs. Wilson. Their arrival was signaled bv the firing of a royal salute. Large crowds lined the admiralty pier and its approaches long before the President came ashore. - v . The Duke of Connaught with his suite, accompanied by John W. Davis, the American ambassador, the Earl of Reading. British ambassador to the United States. Lord Herschell and the mayor and the corporation of Dover were on the pier to meet the visitors. The mayor presented an address of welcome to the President. . President Wilson then reviewed the guard of honor from the naval garrison of Dover. : ' ',' The scene in the harbor as the presidential vessel entered was an animated one. " Airplanes and seaplanes in large numbers circled overhead, while the warships in the harbor, which joined the shore batteries in firing the salute were gaily dressed with bunting. The crews manned -ship and cheered as the presidential boat passed into the harbor. . ,
