dent Wilson will head this countrys
delegation to the peace conference. He
expects to sail for France within a
day or two after December 2, the open
ing of the regular session Of Congress-
This was officially announced today
at the White House. The statement
is as follows:
Tho President expects to sail for
Flance Immediately after the open
ing OF the regular session Of Congress
for him. to remain throughout tho Sos
discussion and settlement Of the main
features OF the treaty OF peace. It
is not likely that it will be possible
floor him to remain throughout the ses
sions OF the formal peace conference
but his presence at tho outset is nee
essary in order to obviate the manifest
disadvantages of discussion by cable
in determining the greater outlines
of the final treaty about which no
must necessarily be consulted. He
will Of course be accompanied by dele
gates who will sit as the representa-
lives Of the United States throughout
the conference. The names OF the
delegates will be presently announc-
ed"
PRESIDENT MAY BE
ABSENT OVER MONTH.
How long the President viii re-
main abroad he himself probably can
not say now. The tine for the con-
vcning OF the peace conference has not;
yet been announced but the general
belief here is that it cannot be as
'scmbled before late in December at
the earliest, if such proves the case,
the President will be absent from the
country for at least a month and
probably longer.
What plans the President may have
for his trip other than to attend the
opening OF the peace conference and
to participate in tho discussions
among tho representatives OF the as
ISOLATED nations which will prccede

doubleday will be accompanied by

that besides visiting Paris, where the

Brussels and Rome.
Mr.. Wilson is expected to receive
abroad a reception such rs has been
accorded but few men In public life.
He will be welcomed not only as the

SEVEN SONS IN ARMY;
WIDOW TOO POOR TO BUY
EVEN A SERVICE FLAG"

Recently there appeared in daily
newspaper some sob stun" about an
American widow whose seven sons
were serving Uncle Sam. but she was
so poor she could not even purchase
seven-star service flag. The rea-
son for her poYarty was laid to delay
in allotment from her boys,
Immediately the American public
got busy. The postmaster and local
newspaper editors received many do
nations by mail. one a check for $50,
and service flags galore.
The army officials and the Red
Cross Headquarters in Washington
also got busy Immediately and found
that the woman had received the sin
gle solitary allotment sent home by
her seven SONS, but that the Home
Service OF the Red Cross had SO taken
care OF her that her income was
greater than before the war, when she
was supported by charity
The story, In other words, was abb
solutely false.

on Education and Special Training
issues the following:
The War Departments program
provides for the instruction OF
100000 soldiers in the National Army
training detachments before June 30,
1919. Every two months $4,000
soldiers win be graduated from
courses In essential trades of mill
tary value given in 10 educational
institutions. Today 1900 soldiers
indicted through the draft boards
have completed such instruction.
There are 5000 in training now.
by November / Of this year 10000
men Will have been trained. These
units OF tho National Army are on
tho same basis &c other troops The
courso provides for thToe hours daily
military instruction and six hours
daily OF technical Instruction. The
latter is considered by the Govern
ment only additional equipment for
the lighting man. y
Members Of the National Army

 The motion of Saturn will be found very interesting. When the year opens the planet isT moving slowly westward, and this retrograde mot on will continue until April B. At this time Saturn will begin to move eastward again, passing one degree above the very bright star Regulus on July 30, and almost reaching the star Chi of Leo by December 31.

THE STARRY SKIES IN JANUARY

During the first half of the present year the evening skies will be made
 oeauti1ul by no less than three of the sprignt, naked-eye planets, and these
 three worlds are by far the most inter-
 esting of all in a small telescope Jupi-
 ter, with It's beautiful retinue of bright
 moons, and Saturn, with it's system of rings and satellites, will ride high in our
 winter skies, and indeed be in excel- lent position for observation during
 every evening until June.
 put most striking of all will be the brilliant Venus. whose steady emergence rom the suns rays has already begun,
 and which will climb so high into the
 western sky that by July B. when it reaches its greatest distance east of the sun 1t will not set until almost 10 o'clock in the evening. It will attain it's great- est brilliancy a few days more than a month later For several months, Jupi- ter, saturn and Venus will thus be most brilliant objects in the western sky, and thelr motions among the stars and with reference to each other will afford much interesting and profitable study, even Tor one who has no telescope.
 Or all the brighter planets, Mars alone IS absent from the evening heavens throughout the entire year. Although en January 1t Is still iii the evening SKY, 1t is too nearly lost in the suns rays to be well observed, and though it enters the morning sky on March 9. yet even by December 31 it rises but hours 4o minutes before the sun. During the last four months of the year, however. all of these bright planets will be found 1 to have moved to the west of the sun, and then only the fixed stars will be seen in our evening sky. PLANETS JUPITER AND SATURN | For the first time since last summer | we may again see both of these planets | In the evening sky. On January 1 the 1 former is almost in the center of the 1 constellation Gemini, and the latter is | fn Leo. little to the right and above i the bright star, Regulus at E, figure l. l Although the former is much the more | conspicuous. being no less than 20 times as bright as a first magnitude star, while the latter is but twice as bright, yet the Ringed Planet is perhaps even the more interesting of the two objects tn the telescope.
 The naked-eye observer will find it most interesting to keep watch of the slow but steady motion of these two planets during the year. He will see that Jupiter will pass entirely across

will be seen to be steadily narrowing. On January I their apparent width is about one-fifth of their length, while by the end of the year the rings seem but one-twelfth as wide as long Evidently we are viewing them more and more nearly edgewise, but it will not be until November G. l92o, that they will wholly disappear. At present we look on the south side of the rings, but the slow motion of the planet in it's orbit is steadily bringing the plane of the rings nearer and nearer the earth, the direc- tion of the plane always remaining par
 allel to itself in space. Finally the plane will sweep through the earth. and
The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-12-29

after this we will look on the north side of it.
 Jupiter will enter the morning sky on July 20, while the sun will not pass to the east of Saturn until August 27. Before this time the two planets, with Venus. will shine out very eonspicuously in the northwest, Jupiter then being nine times as bright as first magnitude star Saturn twice as bright and Venus no less than 12o times as bright.
