Emperor bitterly reproached the supreme

wAsHINGToH. Nov. 12.--If President
Wilson Yields to suggestions which are
being seriously advanced by his own
Cabinet ne will attend the peace con-
ference in Europe as head OF the
American commission.
This suggestion, startling as 1t may
appear as departure from all
precedents in American history. has
already gained great momentum In
Cabinet circles and even outside.
though at the Capitol IT cannot be said
able.
Attention in official circles has already
been turned to the peace conference.
particularly when II became known to-
day that a note from Foreign Secretary
Solf OF the new German Government
was already on its way here pleading
for the expedition Of the peace ncgotia-
tions and promising Germany's accept

after to-day's meeting. hold very strong
views regarding the advisability OF
President Wilson going abroad to at
tend a meeting which he has done so
much TO bring about and in which his
views admittedly will form the basis OF
much discussion.
II he were to follow merely his per-
sonal inclination II is probable that he
would decide to go. but aside from the
departure this would mean from all
precedents in the country's history there
Is the question OF whether or not the
country's business should be handled
with its Chief Executive abroad.
Some members of the Cabinet take
the view that the world is practically de-
manding the presence OF President Will
son at the peace table. Pointing out
that in GermaR 1t Is already admitted
that the Presidents speeches and notes
brought about a situation which COM
PEELED Germany to sign the armistice,
they insist that all precedent can and
should be broken for a meeting that is
unprecedented itself and that the views
which the President has can best be ex-
pounded by Mr.. Wilson himself, par
ticularly when lit comes down to the
details of their application.

in sling. They looked at each 9TH

difidence: "Shall we wash hands to-

the others hand, dried it, and after
this novel introduction they went off
to lunch together.

BAREFOOT NATIVES OF AFRICA
Where They Carry Their Shoes In
stead Of, as We Do Here,
Wearing Them.

Among native African men living
near mission stations boots are often
worn on Sundays to go to church in,
or rather with, for the footwear is al
most invariably carried slung over
an arm or shoulder, this being more
comfortable for the feet and less
wearing on the boots. Still, on
nearing the church, they are put on
with much seriousness and impor-
lance; the more shutting and noise
they make the better, and should a
pair creak badly the joy of the wear
er and envy of his friends are beyond
all description.
"This natural antipathy to wear
ing boots" says Professor Holloway
in the Wide World, "does not apply
to the South only. In some colonies
where the native troops are supplied
with boots, when on the march they
will beg their officers permission to
walk barefoot, and in comfort. re-
member a coalblack Sudanese, a fine
old soldier, well over six feet, who
was doorkeeper at a friends house in
Khartoub. Whenever | called, after

his boots before taking my card, and
on his return Immediately take them
off again with a grunt of satisfac-
ton, before standing to attention,
and in his deep voice rumbling out
whether or not his master was at
home. He was quite under the i'm
preston that this was the correct
thing to do"
