PRES|DENTGUARDED
BY SECRET SERVICE
T Lansburgh & Bro. Ready for the Happiest Xmas

Closely attending President Will
son at every conference. reception,
fete. dinner and parade in which the
Chief Executive OF the United States
participates will be a group of self
effacing men in modest civilian garb
whose names will never appear in
the cable and wireless dispatches
and mention OF whose presence at
these epochaI events will never be
made.
No matter how many regiments
OF American. or British, or French,
or Italian, or Belgian soldiers may
guard the distinguished American in
Europe, this handful OF alert civil
ians will never be farther than ten
feet from the person of President
Wilson. and when he seeks his rest
at night, whether IL be in his official
residence in Paris or in the palaces
OF kings or in the humble inns in
the villages along the old battle
lines, these men will stand guard
outside his chamber door.
They are the operatives of the
United States Secret Service who
sailed on the George Washington
with the Presidential party and who
will never allow President Wilson
out OF their sight. save when he re-
tires at night. until he is returned.
safe and sound, to the White House
in Washington.
Holding firmly to the traditions OF
the service, no information was OBJ
tainable here today relative to the
number of operatives accompanying
the President or the personnel OF the
bodyguard. 1t is only known that
W. h. Moran, chief of the Secret
Service, "and others" are absent.

from employers.
I'VE must face the fact that labor
has . right to demand, and is demand
ing, It's fair and equitable share in
the country's prosperity" Kenyon
said. THAT doesn't mean in dollars
alone: the sooner we get away from
thinking in terms of cash when re-
lations OF employer and employe are
under consideration, the sooner we
will be able to settle the problem on
its merits.
'1f the reforms my resolution out
lines do not come by legislation, they
will come by revolution. We must
meet II In the fair-minded intelligent
manner, II We want to avoid bolshe-
vism in this country. Bourbonlsm Is
worse than bolshevism, for It is from

Kenyon's resolution, passed yester-
day, authorized Investigation of the
feasibility of national unemployment,
old age, sickness, and disability in
surance; prevention OF unemployment;

TO RENEW ATTACK
ON HOUSING PLANS

Senator Reed will renew his attack
on the Government housing plans in
the Senate today.
Senator Reed will endeavor to have
the Senate pass the Hardwick resoiu-
ton to halt work at once on the
Union Station plaza proect and to
halt work on all other projects where
the construction is less than IS per
cent completed.
It is suggested that the buildings
on the plaza be used for hospitals for
wounded soldiers, and after that torn
down.
According to figures developed in
the discussion Of the Hardwick reso-
luton and brought out by Senator
Reed, 27.513 war emergency en-
ployes will have left Washington by
July l. About $500 have left here
since the armistice was signed. These
figures do not include the Navy De-
partment.

shrink, loosen and then the hair
comes out fast. To stop falling hair
