(By Wireless to the Associated Press.) On Board the U.

S- S. George Washington, Sunday, June 25 Several thousand returning American soldiers and a score of pretty French war brides are on board the Presidential ship on Its voyage to the United States. A number of the soldiers who were members of the guards at the Paris White House and the Hotel De Crillon, headquarters of the American delegation, were married during their sojourn In Paris. The regulations provided no means for the brides to accompany their husbands aboard the George Washington and for a time it seemed that they might get left behind. A tearful joint dispatch from the brides to President Wilson, however, led to the making of arrangements for their accommodation and they are one of the happiest novelties of the voyage, which so far has been in perfect weather and over a calm sea.

Farewell messages were received by President Wilson from King George of England. King Alfonso of Spain and the Emperor of Japan. The one from King George makes a rather significant allusion to "the American and British people, brothers in arms, will continue ever in peace." President's Reply. The reply of the President to the message of King George was as fol-lows: "It gives me deep pleasure to express to you my conviction of the truth of your generous message concerning the great ends which have been attained by the present peace and the new ties which have been created between your own great people and ours. We are on the eve of realizing, more than we could realize them at the time, the real objects of the great war.

"The free peoples of the world, united to defeat the enemies of liberty and justice, have, through their representatives, wrought out a plan by which they may remain united in a free partnership of intimate council to promote the cause of justice and of freedom through tho beneficent processes of peace and the accords of a liberal policy. It is within the choice of thoughtful men of every nation to enrich the peace by their counsel. I am happy to echo your greetings at this momentous time of renewed vision and confident hope." Japanese Emperor's Greeting. Emperor Yosblhlto of Japan. In congratulating the President, said: "It gives me heartfelt pleasure to congratulate you and the great friendly people, whose first magistrate you are, on the definite termination of the war in -which you and they did so much to achieve final victory.

Accept my warmest felicitations on this magnificent triumph which, I firmly believe, is the forerunner of a. great new era of the world's history, eclipsing all IhRt have gone before in the general diffusion of happiness and security." The President replied: "Your majesty's message of felicitations is received with the greatest gratification. It has been a privilege to co-operate with the very able representatives of Japan in developing the terms of peace which inevitably involved the Interests of the whole world. I believe, with your majesty, that the results achieved forecast a 'new era In the world's history because they give promise of a peace In which justice will not be Imperiled by selfish Initiative on the part of any single nation. "May I express my best wishes for tho security and happiness of your people." King Alfonso's Message.

King Alfonco of Spain sent this message: "On the occasion of the signing of peace, in which you have, in conjunction with your country, taken such a preponderating part, I am pleased to send you my most sincere congratulations, and I ask you to accept my very best wishes and those of Spain for the happiness and prosperity of the United States of America in the new era now beginning. I wish you, Mrs. Wilson and Miss Wilson a good journey." In reply the President said: "I greatly appreciate your message. I rejoice with you over the signing of the peace and look forward with equal confidence to a new day in which it. will be possible to give peace a new significance for the nations through common counsel of amity and co-operation, and I am sure that I am expressing the feelings of the people of the United States in wishing for the fruits of the better day." A Majestic Naval Spectacle.

It was a majestic naval spectacle that President Wilson saw as he stood on the bridge of the George Washington watching the receding shores of Europe and wavingfarewell as the French shore batteries boomed a parting salute. The United States battleship Oklahoma led tho way, with American and French destroyers flanking the Presidential ship on cither side. At about 5 o'clock-the French escort was ordered back and the destroyers wheeled about and with a parting salute steamed back to the harbor of Brest. 339th Inf. Officer Describes Hardships Suffered Many Transports Arrive.

The first American contingent to return from Russia, six companies of the 339th from Archangel, arrived aboard the Von Steuben, at Ho-boken, early today. They sailed from Brest This contingent comprised more than half of the 2,945 troops aboard. They were brigaded with the English and French for the triple purpose of guarding the huge stores of war material and supplies at Archangel, which had been sold by the Allies to the old Imperial Government; to prevent the Germans coming through Finland and Southern Russia and establishing a submarine base on the White Sea or on the Murmansk coast and to assist the Russians in establishing the eastern front and in reorganizing their own army, thus diverting some of the Huns' attention away from the western front The American troops left for Russia from Newcastle, on August Zi, 1918. Lt Alexander L. Formosa, 235 Lenox road, who returned with Co.

339th went overseas with the 106th Inf. Sickness prevented him from returning with his division and from a replacement camp he was shipped to Archangel. "The whole trouble lay In the fact that we were so far from the line of communication," said Formosa, "that it was hard to get our rations. When the American troops arrived Archangel was flooded with 75,000 refugees. Business had ceased.

Sugar or flour was priceless. The people were starving and there was no coin money. Bolsheviki Evacuate, "When we arrived the Bolsheviki evacuated the city, taking practically everything of value with them. The military stores we had come to guard were gone, as well as all ammunition and hardware. The Scotch and French pursued the Bolsheviki and succeeded in pushing them 100 miles from Archangel, but not without sustaining severe losses, having been far outnumbered in men.

"A great many of the natives were Bolsheviki, too, and looked with distrust upon the allied occupation, a few revolutions and continuous 'warfare having shaken their faith in everyone. "At the very outset there was trouble for the American troops. On the way to Archangel from Newcastle an epidemic broke out and nearly 60 men from every company were afflicted with the "flu." The American troops were armed with Russian rifles, which proved far inferior to the British or American make. With poor equipment and weakened by influenza, the Americans were sent to fight immediately on their arrival in Russia. They soon found that they were hopelessly outnumbered as to men, but even so, they put up a brave fight.

Up to the time of the armistice the operations of the Allied forces in Archangel consisted in an advance on all fronts of from 20 to 75 miles, the ground having been held on nearly all fronts." Lt. Formosa denied that there had been any signs of a mutiny on the part of the Allied forces. "They were all willing to fight when they were needed, and although they left a great deal of propaganda behind them it proved of no avail," he said. Casuals Among Arrivals. Among the casual officers was Lt Archibald Griffin, 1730 60th st formerly in Co.

of the old New York Signal Corps. He spent eighteen months in France. The Montana, scheduled to arrive today, radioed that she would not dock until morning. The Infanta Isabella, carrying casuals and transportation corps men, arrived at Pier 14, Hoboken. La Lorraine, the French Liner, brought casuals from almost every State in the union.

The Troy, with engineer detachments from eight different outfits, all colored, came in at 2 o'clock south of Pier 4, Hoboken. Thirteen casuals arrived on the Aphrodite at 9 o'clock- Among the 631 Americans arriving on the Orduna yesterday were ninety members of the Jewish Legion who have been serving with the British army In Palestine. The larger part of the men are from out of town. The detachment came back In charge of Sgt. Meyer DuBois, 4903 12th- Brooklyn.

DuBois said that his brother was Mayor of Odessa under Kerensky and was decorated for fighting for the Kerensky Government. The men were taken to the Hebrew Sheltering Arms and Immigrant Aid Society, 229 East Broadway, where they were welcomed by Jews of the East Side and given a hearty meal. Later they were taken on a sight-seeing trip around the city. They -spent the night at the society's rooms. Brooklyn-Long Island arrivals follow: ON THE VON STEUBEN Co.

RAYMOND, WRITER OF FORD EDITORIAL, DENIES ANY ANIMUS Testifies That He Wrote Article Deliberately Believes Retraction Was Published. Mount Clemens, June 30 Clifford S. Raymond, author of the editorial which is the basis of Henry Ford's $1,000,000 libel suit against the Chicago Daily Tribune, took the witness stand today when the hearing of the case was resumed after a recess since last Thursday. Questioned by Attorney Weymouth Kirkland of counsel for the Tribune, Mr. Raymond, said he had been on the staff of the Tribune since 1898.

"You wrote the editorial complained of in this case," asked Mr. Kirkland. "I did," answered the witness. "You had no animus against Mr. Ford?" "I did not." Mr.

Raymond testified that the active publishers of the Tribune are Col. R. R. MeCormick and Capt- Joseph Medill Patterson. He said he had never received instructions of any kind from the mothers of the publishers, who control the stock of the Tribune company.

on further questioning testified to knowledge of-Mr. Ford's pacifist views and many of his utterances opposing military preparedness. "Did you know on June 21, 1916. when the editorial was published, that Mr. Ford had said that the word 'murderer' should be embodied on the breasts of soldiers?" "I knew such a statement had been attributed to Mr.

Ford." Witness said he had read "Humanity and Sanity" and Mr. Ford's famoilB full page advertisement opposing preparedness and the sending of troops to the Mexican border. Mr. Raymond testified that he had never seen even the most remote trace of Standard Oil or International Harvester influence in the Tribune office. It never had appeared at editorial conferences, he said, that tho publishers of the Tribune desired to aid Germany.

Cross-examination was by Attorney Alfred Lucking. "Who was lt on the Tribune that decided to adopt a policy of intervention in Mexico asked Mr. Lucking. "To my best recollection lt wa Capt. Patterson." "And what was the first editorial oi the subject?" "I believe it was headed 'Aftaf Huerta "Do you know who wrote the edt torial 'Real Politik for America'-April 4, 1916." "1 believe I did." Mr.

Lucking quoted the editorial as stating that Germany would welcome war between the United States and Mexico, as it would divert munitions from the Allies. Germany was thinking of German interests only, and America should consider American Interests only, the editorial said. "Notwithstanding that you knew Germany would welcome intervention in Mexico, you continued to advocate intervention?" Mr. Lucking asked. "Yes.

sir." "And you also said there was no cause for war with Germany?" "We said that there had been cause for war with Germany and that it had passed." "1 challenge you to point to a single editorial advocating war with Germany." "The editorial on the Lusitania." "But written in such a way as to discourage war. You attacked Co'. Roosevelt for advocating war." "We criticised the Colonel for using language that was too Inflammatory." Mr. Raymond did not remember' whether he wrote the Roosevelt editorial, but said the Tribune deplored having Col, Roosevelt use his great influence at a time when President Wilson was debating the question of war against Germany. It was no time to cloud the counsels at Washington, he said.

Mr. Raymond testified that he conferred with Tiffany Blake, chief of the editorial department, before writing the editorial of June 23, 1916, headed "Ford is an Anarchist." "I wrote the heading," said the witness. "Was it referred to Col. MeCormick?" "I don't know." "Anyway, it was written deliberately." "Very." "There never was a retraction printed?" "Yes, I think so." "What, editorially?" "Yes, "Do you recall it?" "No, but it would be in the files." "Do you know that on Mav. 23.

1917, counsel for Mr. Ford demanded a retraction "No, I didn't know it till about three months ago. I was not consulted." "Didn't you say to friends that the suit woulji be worth $2,000,000 in advertising to the Tribune?" -No." R-34 CANNOT START OVERSEASrWEATHER BAD East Fortune.

W. Dippel, assistant treasurer of the Southern Pines Lumber Corporation, who was to have furnished a connecting link In the chain of evidence the Government hopes to forge about the defendants.

Two Are Expected to Die-Two French Civilians Killed.

Brest, June 30 Two French civilians were killed and five American soldiers and sailors were injured severely and more than 100 wounded in riots here last night Two of the American soldiers are expected to die. The casualties occurred as a result of the exchange of shots between American military and naval police and French sailors. The trouble began, according to available accounts, when an American naval officer, who is said to have been drinking heavily, tore down a French flag and trampled on it A crowd of Frenchmen attacked the officer, and, it is said, kicked and beat him until he was unconscious. Americans who passed by and who were not aware of the cause of the fight, went to the aid of the naval officer. The fight then became more general.

A mob of French civilians and soldiers and sailors attempted to rush the Hotel Moderne, where American officers were quartered. They burned a sentry box and threw stones at Americans in uniform wherever they found them. The Americans, it Is said, retaliated. A company of marines with fixed bayonets was hurried to the scene and the Americans soon restored order. Admiral Henri Salaun, the French naval commander at Brest, ordered the marines to return to their barracks.

As the marines marched back to their quarters, it is declared, they were pursued by a mob throwing stones and bricks. The city Is quiet today.

A. CONVENTION OPENS Milwaukee, June 30 Complete reorganization of the National Education Association and nfflliation with all other educational bodies within a year was predicted by President George D. Strayer In his address before the annual convention here today. He said that such affiliation would bring the association's membership to 500,000. "The time Is at hand when we must act," he continued.

"The profession must be 100 per cent, efficient in determining educational policies. The teachers must help to rewrite State constitutions, draft educational codes and encourage all laws providing for public welfare. "All of America's children must be insured the kind of teachers that the most intelligent parents want for their boys and girls." CALLS HIM GREATER TERROR THAN HAMBY Judge May Gives Larsen, Robber, 10 to 20 Years-Pal Goes With Him. "As dangerous as the Bandit Hamby Is held by the people of Brooklyn, you would be the cause of greater terror than even he." With these words, Judge May In the County Court today sentenced Charles Larsen, 32, of 428 48th to Sing Sing for not less than ten years and not more than 20 years. Charles Smith, who said his home was in Texas, and who was Larsen's accomplice In a number of robberies received a sentence of from nine to 20 years in Sing Sing.

"I don't believe there has ever been in Brooklyn a more dangerous criminal than you," said Judge May addressing Larsen. "In your scheme of crime, murder was a mere Incident to be resorted to on the slightest provocation. Whilo in jail you planned to escape from custody by a method that may have meant the death of the man whose duty it is to bring prisoners to this court. Fortunately the scheme was exposed. As for you, Smith, you elected to share his crimes with him, and now you can pay the penalty with him." An old offender who was sent away today was James Cummings, 26, of 250 Wj'ckoff.

who on a charge of burglary was sentenced to Sing Sing for four years and eight months. In 1912, Cummings, on a charge of burglary, was sent to Sing Sing for nine years. Only recently he was released, and soon after gaining his freedom he married the daughter of a well known citizen of Bay Ridge. The wife was In court when her husband was sentenced. In sentencing Cummings, Judge McDermott declared that if lt were posslblb, he would give the prisoner a chance, but that his past record of crime stood as an impassable barrier to any lienency he might feel Inclined to extend on behalf of his mother and young wifo.

The tours are to start in August und continue weekly throughout the year, extending South with the approach of cold weather. Atlantic City will be the starting point. The tours, at the beginning, will be divided into four classes as follows: One-day tours, week-end tours, lasting from Friday until Sunday; vacation week tours, lasting for one week, and tours lasting ten days.

The distances to be covered in these tours will range from 250 miles for the one day cruise to 3,000 miles for the two weeks' outing. Tentative routes for tours in each of the four classes have been decided upon and are given in prospectus issued by the Aerial Club of America.

Cottagers explain that not long since a transport was wrecked off the island and that since then tomatoes have been running strong, along with the fluke and weak-fish and early peas in schools may do caught in tho surf without the aid of a hook-and-line. The tomatoes and peas are canned, but they are unspoiled.

Very often in the morning a fine one or two pound can of tomatoes has been landed without a struggle. The cottagers just take little carts down to the beach and fill them with goods from Father Neptunes counters. One day a flock of pineapples was descried on the ocean beach, a little water-soaked but still edible. Not only that, but there's the firewood proposition. The old man keeps a woodyard in which you can pick and choose from a wide variety.

That's why many of the cottagers have enjoyed cheerful fires kindled with the aid of tar-soaked wooden paving blocks. A whole street has been burned up already. Pine planks and at times mahogany planks are among the catches. And while you get your fruit and vegetables on one side of the island you can wander over to the bay side, picking huckleberries and blueberries or beach plums on the way and get your fish by simply casting a line. Weak fishing and fluke fishing is good at this time.

Father Neptune proved a friend in need, for, as the cottagers tell the story, one of the boats which carries vegetables over from the mainland arrived one day and the pilot was asked how much he would charge for his strawberries. "Aw, I guess I won't sell them," ho replied. "How much for eggs?" "Seventy-flve cents a dozen." A cottager bought a dozen, but the woman behind her, clamoring fori eggs, was met by the answer: "I guess I won't sell any more eggs." "Well, how much for your peas?" "I don't think I care to sell any peas." The cottagers are wondering If that particular pilot kept a collection of vegetables and berries as another man would keep a collection of foreign stamps or rare coins. Well, anyhow, what's the use of worrying with the sea so near? The Eagle's Motion Picture Directory in the Amusement Column will enable you to locate the beit pic turet at selected theater. AMERICAN AIRMEN DROP PEACE TIDINGS TO GERMANS Coblenz, June 29 (By the Associated Press) American aviators carrying the extra edition of the Amaroc News In surrendered German Fokker machines, repeatedly circled over Coblenz and great crowds of soldiers and civilians assembled where-ever tho extras fell, all eager to read the details of tho ceremony.

If there was any sadness among the Germans over the fact that actual peace had arrived at last, It was not apparent among the people about town.

D. over tho selection of a leader to succeed the late Alderman Ryan is to be projected into the September primaries. After a fight, the County Committeemen chose Senator Kenneth F.

Nova, one of the members of tho Democratic County Law Committee, has handed County Leader McCooey an opinion to the effect that the place must bo filled by election this fall. Mr. McCooey announced today that this legal advice would be followed. This will probably be tho only election for State Committeeman in Ktngs County this fall. Conditions in the district, however, arc such that a lively campaign is expected.

Sutherland will run as the regular organization candidate and, unless McCooey has some good luck in his recent attempts to bring peace and harmony to tho district, tho Senator may bo opposed by several other aspirants. a.m. am. 'Rpromter S0.2 I Wet bulb 62 Dry bulb 67 I Relative humility. 71.
