THE HAGUE, Dec. 12.—Dr. Karl Liebknecht regards the ar
rival of troopsin Berlin as destroying the last chance for over
throwing the government. An o ptimistic feeling is in Berlin at

Every Party and Interest Now
Claiming Wilson for Its Plans
B/ M. WICKHAN STEED,FOREIGN, EOITOR F THE LONDON TINES
PARIS—,. vlibevcr. 12.—Rumor is busy
with President Wilson's plans and in
tentions even before he lands in
France. Every party and interest
that hopes 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 specidl perquisite of
any party interest or nation.
His plans are believed not to be
definitely fixed, but one thing is cer
tain: the French Government holds
itself 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-l
tion, but by the French people them
selves, without distinetion 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 \'eryi
own. In each direction efreumstantial
accounts already have been published |

of Mr. Wilson's impending visit to
Italy, specjally 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 Pgesident
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 been made by him or any
one in his name.
Conversation between the President
and heads of the Allied Governments
are likely to be so important that
President Wilson may not wish to in
terrupt them by tiring spectacular
journeys. It is believed 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 Hght of deci
gions taken on this road.

30 kilometers. The crossing, which
will take several days, will be made

During the last 24 hours two ine
cidents occurred in Coblenz which in

first incident occurred when German
women dropped empty bottles from a
third-story window, intending to hit a
passing soldier. One of the bottles
missed the soldier by less than a foot.
The second incident happened in a
large. case of tRe city, where two
American officers occupied a private
booth. Shortly after the oMcers' en
trance four Coblenz buginess men se

unoccupied A violinist, a native of
Holland, then played one American
piece and four German selections.
Because the American music was

braided the violinist and demanded
that all German pieces be played.

The violinist endeavored to explain,
but the irate merchant used such in

Americans that the Yankee officers
adjourned to the public room of the
