The Chattanooga news. [volume] (Chattanooga, Tenn.) 1891-1939, 1918-12-19

The British attitude is considered
extremely pertinent at this time be-
cause the result Of the general elec-
ton in the British Isles failed to dis
close the actual British opinion.
Allies Must Make Good.
In his conference with his peace
colleagues the president frankly in
formed them that he could not argue
the questions involved in the settle
ment unless it was extremely neces-
sary, He explained that the allies
had adopted his. fourteen points
without consulting him, and ne is
now i.sisting that they make good
on their promises.
President Wilson in his confer
ence with Gabriel HanotauX. former
French foreign minister, reiterated
he did not desire to argue nor dld
he want to employ forcefui metnoos'
but he believed that the people were
entitled to know their own minds.

mission that they should not ciscuss
publicly the American peace Saftitude
except to say that they had agreed
not to change any OF the fourteen
principles without realizing what
they all meant.
"The presidents attitude Is en-
tireIy just" said Henry White, one
of the American ENJOYS. He added
that the delegates were getitns
their feet on the ground"
Mr.. White continued:
"I do not believe there is any pos
sibility for serious disarrangement'
but until Europe realizes exactly the
American attitude We must keep UP
our efforts"
AS far as their prominent position
permits, both President and Mrs.
Wilson are living as quietly as pos
sible in Paris.
Affects Plain Black.
Mrs. Wilson affects plain black
gowns. without ornament. and she
has made the happiest impression
upon all with whom she has come II,
contact She is plainly delighted
with her surroundings, especiai.y
the beautiful mirror-lined boudolr IN
the Murat mansion. TIT.
Mrs. Wilson is reticent in public
but 1t is plainRto see from all her ac-
tions that she is deeply devoted 10
her husband and he to her.
The presidents wife has expressed
the desire that there be no discus
sion of personal habits. Both the
nresident and Mrs. Wilson live SIM
nlv and their home life is strictly
American. Mrs. Wilson's fare Is
rlain. and she not only abstains from
ry;re hut does not drink even tea
or coffee. ..;
President Wilson does not want
onvone to 60 out Of his way to pay
formal recognition. and ne mas eA-
planned that, on account OF the pres
sire of official business, there WIN
be many calls that he cannot repay;
Ludicrous stories have peen prin.ea
IN both London and the uni.eu
States which it has been lmposslp'e
FOR President Wilson to deny. Ine
hest plan, it is deemed, has peen 10
ignore them.
. iO Calls on Foch.
President Wilson also drove 70 tne
home of Marshal Foch today ana re-.
Maid the recent visit OF the alileu
reneralissimo. The call was formai
and brief.
Rain lnterferes.
Rainy weather is interfering WIN
the presidents outdoor exercise, ana
is causing him much disappoint-
ment. Being used to such recrea-
tion. it's absence is keenly felt.
There was no formed business
planned for the morning, the. visit OF
the French premier being unan-
nounced. The presidents program
called for visit to the suburbs, ana
this afternoon he plans to meet King
Victor Emmanuel of Italy. This
visit is entirely formal. The real
conference between the American ex-
evutive and Italy's representative
will take place tonight or tomorrow
when the president will meet Pre-
mier Orlando. of Italy, IL there is
sufficient time to arrange the con-
ference. Secretary Of State Lansing
and Col. L. M. House are quietly
seeking peace officials and explain
ing Americas attitude.
