MAY SPEND CHRISTMAS
ON GERMAN SOIL

Paris, Dec. 16.--It Is entirely
likely that President Wilson
will set foot on German soil
during his stay IN Europe.
The president has been told
that 1t will be impossible to
dispose OF any of the most inn
portant conference work dur
ing the holidays. and he has
practically agreed to spend
Christmas with the American
military forces, probably at
Gen. Pershing's headquarters.
II lis likely that II this trip is
made, the president will cross
TO German territory. inasmuch
rs he is being urged by the
military officials to visit the
Third army (the American
army of occupation In western
PrussIa). IL is no secret that
the president desires in every
possible way to show his ap-
probation for what the expe-
ditionary forces have done;
therefore he will visit as many
different units as possible.

Rome. Saturday. Dec. 14.-During the
war the Italian army lost 15.600 officers
killed, the minister Of war declared IN
the senate today. More than 10000 Of
ficers were wounded seriously.
Premier Orlando told the senate
that italy was not in a position TO
demobilize single man and that all
war material should be kept intact.
The immediate difficulties to he sur

but had increased.
PREPARATION for damages, the pre-
mier added, was n question outside
discussion. President Wilson's prn-
ciples. he continued. excluded an in
demnity in the traditional sense OF
the word, but doubtless italy would
edopt the same policy regarding rep
arations as the other allies. A COM
mission had been appointed to es-
