came back to New York yesterday, arm- jleg?, legless or otherwise maimed, thefame boys who wept because theythought they'd never get a chance.They formed part of the soldier pas¬senger list of the British transportEmpress of Britain, which broughtseventy-six officers and 2,339 men intothe city yesterday, the first of a stringof soldier-laden vessels due in portwithin the next dozen hours or more.
Except for one. untoward incident,;«.hich happily was without casualties,the return of the men was an event ofunalloyed joy. This was when a ferry-boat laden with 1,500 troops tipped as

Wireless AsksWilson to HelpFree Ireland_.
Great Crowd at MadisonSquare (»arden Shows ItIs Strongly Anti-British
Self-determination for Ireland vandemanded in thundrous shouts last!night by a crowd waving AmericanHags and Sinn Fein colors that coveredthe many-acred floor and tilled thehigh-piled galleries of Madison SquareGarden. Outside in Twenty-sixth jStreet an overflow meeting voiced asimilar demand, while a cordon of po-¦lice kept them out of the big building.
There was an anti-British flavor tothe meeting that lirst expressed itselfwhen John Finnegan's singing of the"Star-Spangled Banner" was interrupt- '(ed abruptly by the cheering of thestanding multitude at that point in theanthem which reads:And where is tiiat band who s>o vauntingly
Bwore'Mid tho havoc of war and the battle's
confusionA home and a country they'd leave us no
more ?Their blood has washed out their foul foot-
steps' pollution.Even then the wireless was crackling
out this message from the gathering toPresident Wilson somewhere on theAtlantic, on board the steamer GeorgeWashington:"Twenty-live thousand American citi-
zens, assembled in and around MadisonSquare Garden, with Cardinal O'Con-nell, of Boston, and Governor Whitman !of New York, as principal speakers,wish you-.godspeed and safe return, andurge you to demand at the peace con¬
gress self-determination for the peopleof Ireland."The message was signed by the chair¬
man, Justice John W. Goff, and the sec¬retary, Assistant District Attorney Al¬fred J.Tallcy.
Governor Whitman, in his talk, saidlittle about self-determination for Ire¬land, but a ticmendous lot of enthusi¬asm was vented at'his glowing praiseof the 69th Regiment.
Cardinal O'Connell's entrance, es¬corted by an honor guard that includedsome men in evening clothes and stillothers garbed as Irish bag pipers,brought every one. in the hall to theirfeet in a wild demonstration of en¬thusiasm that was nut equalled during!the evening until in his speech be de-clarcd: 1"Lut the test of sincerety be Ireland.¡
Then we will be convinced that truthstill lives."
Seated in the front row before the;high platform draped in the green,orange and white Sein Féin colors was-United States Marshal Thomas Mc-!Carthy.The marshal, however, was there in
his official capacity and not as a Mc-]Carthy. lie took a chair and placed itin the centre aisle, in continuation of Jthe front row of scat?, and listenedcarefully to the speeches, with is handsfolded during most of the oratory.
Handbills printed in green ink, dis-1tributad by "New York American" em-ployes, promised a "full report" of themeeting in a future edition of theHearst publication.
Ovation for CardinalCardinal O'Connell was easily the
hero of the evening, and his everymove and phrase was an excuse forcheering. He said that in finally yield¬ing to repeated urgent invitations toattend "this significant meeting" hehad listened to the voice of duty alone."As the case was presented to me,"
continued the churchman, "it becameclear to my mind that to stay awaywould be tantamount to the evasionof a grave obligation to my faith, mycountry and my race." iAt a later point in his speech he
said:"The war can be justified only by
the universal application of those prin-ciples (self-determination). Let thatapplication begin with Ireland.
"Ireland is the oldest nation and the !longest sufferer. If these principlesare not applied in her case, no matterwhat else may be done, there will beno complete justice, no genuine sin-cerity believable, and the war, notbringing justice, will not bring peace."
Cheers lor ResolutionJustice Edward J. Gavegan read a
resolution with a long preamble thatwas adopted by a rising vote thatended in a cheer. The resolution urgedPresident Wilson to "declare at thepeace conference that the people of Ire-land should, as a matter of right andjustice, be governed only in accordancewith their consent ami that the will ofthe majority, ascertained by a plebis¬cite of the adult population, be adoptedas the sovereign will of the people,instead of the present foreign will offorce."Others who spoke and who occupied !
positions of prominence on the plat-form were Judge Daniel F. Cohalan,John Dcvoy, editor o!" "The GaelicAmerican"; Vicar General Mooney, ofthe Archdiocese of New York; JamesP. Hastings, secretary of the UnitedIrish American societies; and at leastone member of the 69th, who limpedto the stand after the meeting began.This man wore a wound stripe andservice stripes indicating at least one
year in 1' ranee.Held over the heads of the crowd in
Twenty-sixth Street were numerousblack-lettered cardboard signs. One of'these read: "Ireland Is the Test ofAmerica's Sincerity in the War." An¬other: "Is Not Ireland as Entitled toFreedom as Other Small Nations?"One asked: "What About Self Deter¬mination for Ireland Ï"
Joffe AdmitsHe Aided PlotOf Berlin Reds
Bolshevik Minister SaysBarth, Haase, LedebonrPlanned Reign of Terror
Had Supply of Firearms
Seditious Literature WasSpread to Put Germany inSame Plight as Russia
COPENHAGEN, Dec. 10. AdolphJoffe, former Ambassador to Germanyof the Russian Bolshevik government,who when recently accused of circulaiing seditious literature in Germany de¬nied it, not only admits it now in a
telegram received here, but glories inthe achievement.He declares the literature was circu¬
lated "through the good offices of theIndependent Socialists," and makes thefurther declaration that a number ofweapons were handed over to HerrBarth, secretary of the Independent So¬cial Democratic party and a member ofthe Ebert Cabinet.
Got Vast Sum for Arms
Instead of receiving 105,000 marks($26,260) for the purchase of arms,Joffe says he received "several hun¬dred thousand marks," and adds:
"I claim for myself the honor ofhaving devoted all my powers to thesuccess of the German
#revolution
throughout my activities, which wereCarried on in agreement with the In¬dependent Socialist Ministers Haasc,Barth and others."H is known in Berlin that Haasc,
Barth, Ledcbour and other Indepen¬dents were friendly with Joffe, butthis telegram gives the first disclosurethat they actively headed the Bol¬shevik ambassador's plan to introduceRussian methods into Germany.
Planned Proletariat RuleA further illustration of the Inde¬
pendents' sympathy with Bolshevik-methods is reported by Adolph Hoff¬mann, one of the Independent leader?,who in a speech on Sunday, after de¬claring his opposition to a ConstituentAssembly, said:
"If the elections do not give the So¬cialists a majority the National As¬sembly must be dispersed and a dicta¬torship of the proletariat must beestablished."Hoffmann, although a professed
atheist and unlettered, is Minister ofEducation in Prussia, which post hasjurisdiction over the churches.
Scheidemann SaysHe Will Resign if
Chaos is ContinuedBERLIN, Dee. 9 (By The. Associated
Press).."I will not put up with theseconditions another week. I will getout," declared Philipp Scheideinann, a
member of the government, in a speechto-day defending the government andhimself against the attacks of theSpartacus group. Scheidemann de¬clared that the government had 00 percent of the German population behindit, but, "nevertheless, it is sitting on a
powder keg."He added that Georg Ledcbour, a
Radical leader, had obstructed the for¬mation of a Cabinet for thirty-sixhours. After the revolution Dr. KarlLiebknecht, the Radical leader, wantedto join the Cabinet, but only for threedays. The speaker described Lieb¬knecht as a "person" who lacked "ev¬ery sense of responsibility."
Menace in Spartacus GroupScheidemann said he regretted the
occurrences of Friday, but declaredthey worn a natural consequence ofthe appeals made by the Spartacusgroup to the masses to arm themselvesand overthrow the government.
"Socialization along the lines de¬manded by the incompetents," Scheide¬mann added, "would ruin industry andtrade. If we remain longer in thisrevolutionary crisis we are lost beyondhope of rescue and wo will not havea piece of bread. If the people do notcome to their senses they will bobrought to their senses by the Ameri¬cans."A groi^p of Spartacus party adher¬
ents, headed by Dr. Karl Liebknecht,made a demonstration last night be¬fore the Chancellor's palace, now theheadquarters of the government.
Crowd Demands Barth
The crowd clamored for the appear¬ance of Herr Barth, Secretary of theIndependent Social-Democratic partyand Secretary for Social Policy in theEbert Ministry. He is a former mem¬
ber of the Spartacus group of whomthe remaining Spartaeides are suspi¬cious.
In answer to tho clamor SecretaryBarth appeared at a window and ad¬dressed the crowd. He said that ifhe could meet Dr. Liebknecht in a pub¬lic hall for a straight talk Liebknechtwould afterward not 'have a singleworkman behind him. !!c declared

BREST, France, Dec. 10 (.',. p. m.)(By The Associated Press)..Thesteamship George Washington, carry-ing President Wilson and the Ameri¬can delegates to the peace congress atParis, was reported by the naval wire¬less as passing the Azores at 1 o'clock
'this afternoon. All on board werewell after the stormy weather throughwhich the Presidential lfncr passed.
Miss Margaret Wilson, daughter of;the President, arrived in Brest to-dayto meet the Presidential party. She,will accompany the party to Paris.
Preparations for receiving PresidentWilson here now have been completed.1The city is fairly humming with ex-
pectancy.The progress of each step taken by
the American visitors now is followedwith eager interest. The first planof sending an American dreadnoughtfleet seaward has been changed.
French Ships to Participate IAccording to the new plan, the fleet
v ill go out early Friday morning toen-counter the American party a short jdistance olí the coast and accompanyit to port.French warships also will take For¬
eign Minister Pichón, Minister ofMarine Leygucs and Andre Tardicu,head of the general commission forFranco-American war questions, forthe first greetings by an exchange ofsalutes.
Freneh officers arrived hern to-dayfrom Paris to make iinal arrangementswith the local authorities for thePresident;« landing.The George Washington' draws too
much water to enter the inner harbor,so the President's ship and the entirefleet of warships will anchor in theouter harbor about a mile off shore.I
Americans to Greet ThemAn American party, consisting of
General Perilling, General Bliss, Ad-mirai- William S. Benson, AdmiralHenry B. Wilson and Colonel E, ftf.House, will then board the liner andbring the President and Mrs. Wilsonashore aboard a naval tug.The landing will be made at Quay

to arrive about noon Friday. The! landing of President, Wilson is plannedfor 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and heis expected to arrive in Paris at 10p'clock Saturday morning.This schedule would leave less than
an hour for ceremonies here, whichnecessarily will be restricted, although.he Breton peasantry is gatheringfrom miies around to give Mr. Wilsonan enthusiastic greeting.
Crowds to Assemble
The President will drive direct fromthe quay to the depot, passing alongthe Cours Dajot, a splendid terraceoverlooking the harbor. The populace;and soldiers and sailors will be massedalong the course, and if time permitsthere will be a brief address of wel¬come by the Mayor and a response bythe President.The Presidential train will proceed
slowly, stopping for several hours dur-mg the night so as to arrive at the;Paunhinc station in Paris exactly at10 o'clock Saturday morning.'

Marshall PresidesAt Cabinet SessionBy Wilson Request
Vice-President Carries 0>itWishes Expressed BeforeHe Sailed and in W irelessMessage Sent From Ship
WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-Vice-Pres¬ident Marshall presided over to-day'sCabinet meeting following a wirelessrequest from President Wilson, whois en route to Europe, and set, accord¬ing to the White House staff, a new
precedent in the conduct of Americanexecutive affairs- No other Vice-Pres¬ident, so far as records show, ever pre¬sided at a Cab:;.et session.
In taking his teat "Mr. Marshall setat rest any theories that he might beacting as President. He said lie was
attending the gathering "informallyand impersonally, not undertaking toexercise any official duty or function."This summary of his statement was
given out at the White House:"In assuming the chair and presid-
ing over what is known as a meetingof the Cabinet. I deem it proper tomake a brief statement so that my'conduct ireed not be misunderstood nor
misinterpreted. I am here and am act¬
ing in obedience to the request pre¬ferred by the President upon the eveof his departure, and also at your re-
aue¡ t. But I am here, informally andper: onally. I am not undertaking toexercise any official duty or function.I snail preside in an unofficial and in¬formal way over your meeting-; out ofdeference to your desires and those ofthe President."Before going to the White House,
Mr. Marshall explained that the Presi¬dent, before departing for Europe, hadasked him to preside at the Cabinetmeetings and had repeated the requestby wireless from the George Washing¬ton.
No Wireless Sent to ShipMr. Marshall made it plain that he
had no idea of exercising the functionsof the President.No business requiring the attention
of the President developed at theCabinet, it was said, and the wirelesscarried no message from it to thePresidential ship George Washington.The Cabinet meeting was the last

Johnson RefusesTo Serve With Hearst
Publisher's Presence on Com¬mittee to Greet Troops
Called "Insult"Robert Underwood Johnson, in a let¬
ter to Mayor Hylan last night, declinedto serve on the committee of welcometo homecoming troops. He said:
"In ordinary circumstances I shouldesteem this appointment a great honorand should loyally respond to any de¬mand of service it required, as I havedone in many similar instances underformer mayors of the city. I am, how-ever, obliged, in self-respect, to declinethe appointment."My reason for doing this is that
the honor of such an appointment isvitiated by the inclusion in your com¬mittee of William Randolph Hearst.whose sinister attitude from August,1914, toward his country and towardthj principles for which her allies werefighting is a matter or public record,
¡ so conspicuous, indeed, as to make hisappointment on such a committee aninsult, not only to our gallant soldiers,for whom, under whatever auspices,America will have an overflowing wel¬come, but to every self-respecting citi¬zen of the country."This welcome, moreover, should notbe tainted by an endeavor to rehabili¬tate the public reputation of any man."

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10..WilliamRandolph Hearst's directions for theeditorial policy of his papers; an or¬
der to Arthur Brisbane who testified."I write what I please and Mr. Hearstprints what he pleases"; directions .'ordisplaying the flag and printing the.'Star-Spangled Banner" on the pagesof his papers; orders to print andthen not to permit a sympathetic mes
sago from Germany; a protest fromCaleb M. Van Hamm, managing editorof "The New York American," againstthe Hale telegrams, which, so far asthe records show, went unansweredthese and other activities of the Hearstorganization in the ten days fromFebruary '-'1 to March 5, 1917, whilethe country was on the verge of war,were revealed here to-day.Major E. Lowry Humes, counsel tyrthe Overman Senate Committee in¬
vestigating German propaganda, putinto the record a scries of thirty-twotelegrams sent and received by Hearstat Palm Beach during that period.Photostat copies of the originals weríiled with the committee. This is theevidence which was held out yesterdayDy an objection of Senator King, ofUtah, as to their relevancy.
Professor Hart TestifiesEarlier in to-day's session the com¬
mittee liad heard Professor AlbertBushneil Hart, of Harvard,name was on the "important list" foundni the Iuehr papers. Professor Hartgave proofs of his anti-German atti¬tude fron early in the -cor. though ad¬mitting that a book he had written in1914 showed enough sympathy for theGerman cause so that it might haveled to his name being on the list.The committee adjourned to
Captain Lester, of the Millitarj Integence Bureau, time for the preparathof more evidence, some of which willconcern Hearst, and which is expectto be ready for presentation on Friday.Most interesting of all the Pal i
Beach telegrams is one which does notbear Hearst's signatuie, but is signed"Doctor." This telegram declares thaithe Zimmermann note, attempting toget Mexico and Japan to start waiupon the United States, was a ful.t.perpetrated by "a very unscrupulouAttorney General's very unscrupulousdepartment," because \\ ilson could notrepeat the "false claim" of having pri¬vate information, which he used in thePanama Canal tolls case. PostmasterGeneral Burleson also is described aaa House appointment, and "House hasbeen a corporation lobbyist all hislife."
Cadis Burleson "Crooked"The telegram also ftontains this par¬
agraph :
"Gregory and Burleson are so crookedthat, as Alfred Henry Lewis used tosay, one of them could lie in bed ontop of the Woolworth Building and theother on the ground floor and lookdown and up forty-seven flights ofwinding stairs into each other's eyeand understand each other perfectly ."With this telegram are four other;
which possibly may have a bearing onthe identity of the author. The timeof their tiling is of importance. The"Doctor" telegram was filed at 2:40 p.1 m. on March 2, 1917. At 2:51.', twelvej minutes later, the Palm Beach operatorwired the Jacksonville office:"Have approximately 2,000 words in
