PRESIDENT TO 90 ID FRANCE
 NEXT MONTH
Leaves Early in December and Will Be First Presi-
 dent to Visit Europe.

Washington, Nov. 19-President Wilson will go to France early in December to take part in the discus sion and settlement of the main fea- lures of the treaty of peace His decision to accept the invitation of the allied premiers was made known last night in a formal statement from the White House. The President plans to sail immediately after the opening of the regular session of, congress on Dec. 2. How long he will remain abroad is not known. He has indi- cated that it is not his present in tention to stay throughout the session Of the conference, but since the dele gates probably cannot be assembled until late in December he will be ab- sent from the United States for sev- eral weeks at least.
 MT. Wilson will be the first Presi- dent to visit Europe and also the first to attend a peace conference for the settlement of issues growing out of war in which the United States took part. He regards his presence as necessary in order to obviate the manifest disadvantage of discussion by cable in determining the greater outlines of the final treaty,
 Accompanying the President will be delegates who will sit as the repre- sentatives of the United States throughout the conference. The names of these delegates soon will be announced. Secretary of State Lansing will head the American com h ably will include Col E. M. House, who is now representing the govern ment in the supreme war council at Versailles; Elihu Root, former secre- tary of state and Louis D. Brandeis associate justice of the Supreme Court.
 No announcement of the plans for the Presidents trip has been made. He is expected, however, to make the voyage on battleship, as did Presi- dents Roosevelt and. Taft when they visited the Panama Canal zone. Mrs. Wilson undoubtedly will accompany him and his immediate party prob ably will include Joseph P. Tumulty, his private secretary; Rear Admiral Cary T. Grayson, his personal physt- clan and military and naval aides.
 The Presidents ship will be escort ed into a French port by French war lcraft and possibly also by vessels of the British and Italian navies. Troops to be assigned as the guard of honor for the President in France probably will consist of units from each of the Allied armies.
 The meeting between President 1 Wilson and President Poincare will be the first between the chief execu- tives of the two greatest republics and it will be the first time that a President of this country has visited foreign capital. Before returning home MT. Wilson probably will go to London and Brussels and possibly Rome. He also may make a pilgrim age to some of the battle-fields of France.
 President Wilson's purpose in so- ] ing to France in advance of the . n.-eti=-l5 the peace congress is ch- derstood to be to discuss with the Allied premiers at Versailles the pro gram to be laid down for the guid- ance of the peace delegates when
 hey meet. It has been suggested 1 that MT. Wilson probably will be in vited to preside at the opening session l of the peace conference.
