ENGLAND'S WAR SECRETS WERE WELL GUARDED No Military Secret of Country Ever Reached Enemy, Says Cockerill. LONDON, Jan. 2 Brlg.-Gen. George K. Cockerill, the retiring director of special Intelligence at the War Office, In hla farewell message today to his associates In that department, calls attention to the fact that, although many persons In England knew of the preparations for the counter offensive which led to the downfall of the German armies, the construction of tanks and other military secrets, not one word reached the enemy. In his message Brlg.-Gen. Cockerill says: "You have been the chief agency in preventing the leakage of naval and military Information. To mention a few Instances of your success, the withdrawal from Galllpoli, the construction of tanks, the preparations for the offensive at Cambral and also for tho recent counter offensives which destroyed the German armies, were all known to numbers of people in this country, but were concealed from the onemy. Shipping Guarded. "There is no evidence that enemy submarines ever received Information of the departure of shipping from a British port. In most cases the arrest of a spy has quickly followed his entry Into this country. Thanks largely to your efforts, no act of destruction or Incendiarism has been committed by enemy agents in this country"In the opinion of the minister of blockade, your work has contributed In a very large degree to the satisfactory working of the blockade. In practically every case of contraband before a prize court the evidence hat been furnished by you. The estimated value of prize canroes, excluding ships, Is over 30.000,000. ' "You have stopped enemy remittances to the value of 70,000,000 and completely destroyed the enemy's over Keas communications so far as they were vulnerable."

Golf Players Can Compare Scores with President PARIS, Jan. 2 Golf players now may know for the first time whether they are in the president's class. Following his game Wednesday on the St. Cloud links, it was announced that his score was: "Fifty-four for the first nine holes and a much better score for the next four, when he was forced to quit because of the rain." He beat Rear-Admiral Grayson, who is regarded by some as one of the most politic men in the president's party. Mrs. Wilson also played. The president wore an old gray suit. He had a surplus of caddies, a small army of secret service men followed him around in addition to soldiers. Starting badly by topping his first drive, the president was in anything but championship form for the first four holes, but showed considerable improvement. The course, which was soggy, is long and sporty, somewhat like that of the Columbia Club at Washington, where the president plays frequently .

HORSE, SON OF FAMOUS THOROUGHBRED, HELPS KEEP PRESIDENT WILSON HEALTHY

"Democrat,' President Wilson's mount. The fact that President Wilson appears in better physical condition today than he was at the start of the war is the subject of many discussions. The president's ability to throw off the cares of his office, however great, for an hour each day and give that time wholeheartedly to recreation, is mostly responsible for this. Part of his recreation consists of a brisk canter on "Democrat." his favorite saddle horse. "Democrat" is a son of the famous thoroughbred sire Octagon, which Major August Belmont, chairman of the jockey club, gave to the U. S. for its experimental station. x . .' : -. . .

Pope Expresses Hope for League of Nations ROME, Jan. 2 In a New Year's message to America, given to the Associated Press, Pope Benedict expressed the hope that the peace conference might result in a new world order, with a league of nations, the abolition of conscription and the establishment of tribunals to adjust international disputes. The message reads : "On the eve of the new year. In which humanity is at last to enjoy the blessings of peace, we are glad to send cordial gretings to the American people as the champions of these same principles which have ben proclaimed by both President Wilson and the Holy See, insuring for the world justice, peace and Christian love. "In this solemn moment, when a new era in the history of the world is about to begin, we pray that the Al;nighty may shed His light upon the delegates who are meeting in Paris to settle the fate of mankind, and especially upon President Wilson as the head of the noble nation which has written such glorious pages in the annals of human progress. "May the conference be of such a nature as to remove any resentment, abolish forever wars 'among brothers, establish harmony and concord and promote useful labor, but of the peace conference may there be born the ing conscription, win reduce armaments; which, by establishing international tribunals, will eliminate or settle disputes; which, placing peace upon a foundation of solid rock, will guarantee to every one independence aiid equality of rights."

Clean-up and Clearance sales areusually in order after the holidays and' it has been customary for the Palais Royal to bold an Annual January. Clearance Sale.

Mr. Goldfinger stated that many inquiries had been received regarding the usual sale and that the management had given most careful, consideration to the fact that for years the public had looked forward to these unequalled value giving events, and it was finally decided to go directly to New York and ascertain whether desirable new merchandise could be purchased and a sale conducted, rather than to disappoint our patrons. -r The Palais Royal buyer went to New York and the following message will be of great interest to those who bave made inquiry and looked forward to this sale.
