Every Party and Interest Now
Claiming Wilson for Its Plans

PARIS.- Dec. 12.—Rumor is busy
with President Wilson's plans and in
tentions even before he lands in
France. Every party and interest
that hepes to exploit him for its own
ends seems anxious to peg out its
own claim in advance. |
Those best qualified to judge doubt
whether the President will regard
himself as the special perquisite of
any party interest or nation.
His plans are believed not to be
deflnitely fixed, but one thing is cer
tain: the French Government holds
{tself bound by every consideration of
tact and courtesy to leave him free to
do exactly as he likes, He will be
welcomed not only by the Govern
ment as representing the French na
tion, but by the French people them
selves, without distinction of party or
organizations.
There is today a notable reaction
in the press against the efforts of the
Confederation of Labor to hallmark
him at the very outset as their very
own. In each directlon eircumstantial
accounts already have been published

COBLENZ, Dec. 12.—The American

army will definitely take over control.

of Mr. Wilson's impending visit to
Italy, specially to the Vatican.
These are made to look premature
by a definite denial from Nelson
Page that he has announced to the
Papal secretary of state President
Wilson's intention to visit the Pope
on December 23, Mr, Page adds that
neither he nor any member of his
embassy has taken any such step, and
that no statement with regard to
President Wilson's eventual visit to
Italy has heen made by him or any
one in his name.
Conversation between the President
and heads of the Allled Governments
are likely to be so important that
President Wilson may not wish to in
terrupt them by tiring spectacular
Journeys. It is belleved he is deter
mined to lose no time in placing the
formation of a practical League of
Nations before the Allied Govern
ments, so that all special problems
relating to the Allied peace terms
may be viewed in the light of deci
sions taken on this road.

stress on the alleged British coal

OF OCCUPATION, Dec. 12 (by cou
rier).—~The American army of oeccu
pation is scheduled to cross the Rhine
River tomorrow (Fridav) to patrol
new German territory for a depth of
20 kilometers. The crossing, which
will take several davs, will be made
from Boppard, Engers, St. Coarchau
sen and Coblenz. The Americans will
cross on ferries and over two bridges.
The First Division units reached
Coblenz yesterday and the Thirty
cecond DhAvicion, made up of Michi
gan and Wiseonsin troops, arrived at
the bank es the Rhine Tuesday with
other units of the Third Army of Oc
cupation.
Americans Mated.
Doring the last 24 hours twe In
cidents occurred in Coblen» which in
dieated the suppressed hatred mani
fested toward the Americans. The
first incident ooccurred when German
women dropped empty bottles from a
third-story window, intending to hit a
passing soldier. One of the bottles
missed the sgoldier hy less than a foot,
The seeond incident happened in a
large case of the city, where twe
American officers occupied a private
booth. Shortly after the oMcers’ en
trance four Coblenz husiness men se
lected a booth adjoining the Ameri
cans, though there were many others
unoccupied. A violinist, a native of
Holland, then played one American
piece and four German selections
Because the American music was
played a German wine merchant up
braided the violinist and demanded
that al! German pieces be played
Populace Insulting. |
The violinist endeavored to explain,
but the irate merchant used such in
sulting allusions to the Knglish and
Americans that the Yankee officers
adjourned to the public room es the
case. There the case proprietor
whose name was Wilheim Wall, apol
ogized for the incident
Many of the German people of (o

liberal in their treatment of them, are
growing bold In their attitude. The
childern are flippant and the aduits
are openly antagonistic All Amer
