Mickey Faherty Is Not
 Forgotten By tue President
By HUGH W. ROBERTS


 Washington. December 24.--(SpeoiaD While President Wilson is busily en- gagged with Foch and Clemenceau, he hasn't forgotten Mickey Flaherty. who lives just over the Virginia line from Washington
 And tomorrow morning. old Tom Buchanan. the major domo at the White House. will emerge as soon aft CT breakfast as possible with we'll filled basket of Christmas goodies. Not only Mickey but all the children who have hailed the President as he proceeded toward his golf course, will be remembered. But Mickey is the hero.
 It all came about In rather a curi- ous manner Soon after the Presi- dents first inauguration. he acquired great fondness for golf. En route to his favorite course, Ihe was compelled to.cross the Virginia border--and vaci- ous ear tracks. One afternoon, his au- tomoble was forced to come to standstfll for a long string of freight cars had blocked the way

, of little fellows retired tabashed--that is. all save one. That one was Mickey. With all the confidence in his right
 of self f-determination. Mickey stood his ground He did more than that. When his vision crossed that of the
 President. he continued to ''hold his own.' And then, as if determined to break precedent. he indulged in one of the wickedest winks imagina ble-
 an impudent. suggestive swink, be- cause It was not accompanied by 8 smile.
 And the President-did not gasp, or grow angry. Instead. with very seri- ous countenance. he--returned the wink.
 Then Mickey's timidity got the bet ter of him, and he ran away. shrieking in laughter.
 NONE OVERLOOKED Since that afternoon. the strongest friendship was sprung up between the President and thee hildren of the way side. So each Christmas old Tom leaves the White House and his basket is so we'll filled with Christtnas good
 les that no one of the children who have daily waved at the President as he rode by. will be overlooked. It is a matter of record that the President since his arrival in France, 1 has cabled instructions that the chl- dren be not forgotten. So. in knowl- edge that his little friends will not be rendered unhappy through the- egi- gencies of state which necessitates nis
 absence. the President. with greater Icontentment, will proceed with his
 business of re-arranging the. map of Europe and meting out just punish I
 ment to the humbled German empire.

ment denouncing as utterly false and

the rumor which has spread abroad al
leging that the tready OF peace cancels

The treaty Of peace will not in any

crop be sowed, grown, harvested and
