PARIS, Dec. 1.-THE address which
President Wilson will make to the
American troops, probably as soon
after his arrival in France as posi-
bile, is expected to be one of the most
important delivered during his stay
in Europe, and is being looked for,
ward to by Europeans, who hope to
gain from this a more definite idea of
the Presidents exactapositioni regard
Ing numerous vital points 1t is consid-
cred undoubted that the President will
make this speech, at the American
front, but at what place has not yet
been determined.
May Enter Germany.
The President, it is announced, will
visit devastated districts in France.
and, although the present plans are
tentative. all depending upon his per
sonal wishes, the trip may take him
into former German territory. Visits
to Metz and Strasbourg are extremely
probable.
President Wilson will lunch with
President Poincare on Saturday, soon
after his arrival. The plans for Sun
day have not yet been made known.
On Monday President Wilson will hold
reception in the Paris city hall, to
which a host Of officials have been
invited.
Certain to Visit Italy.
The Associated Press is in a posi-
ton to state definitely that Presi-
dent Wilson will visit Italy, but no
date has been fixed. A hundred in
vltattons or more for the President

HOROSCOPE

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER l., 13IS.
DURING the business hours Of this
y day the sway is fortunate, accord
ing to astroiogy- The sun and Mer-
curry rule strongly for good. Uranus
and Venus are adverse.
The planetary government IS most
favorable for contracts and agree
ments, whether they be commercial
or diplomatic in character.
Il is an especially suspicious rule
under which to make bargains with
persons who control large interests
and again the seers foreteu many
conferences and important results
making for harmony between classes
Of men OF conflicting organizations.
This is q promising day for all who
seek 10 improve their positions. Pro
motions and preferments are under
the best direction.
There is good luck promised for
those who seek employment Work
IS foreshadowed for women, who Will
perform great tasks
Lovers should beware OF engage
meuts entered into under this confIg-
urations which foreshadows disap-
pointment. especially for men
Uranus IS in a place making for
criticism and false judgment OF per-
sons in exalted positions. Political
candidates may find it necessary to
combat much misrepresentation This
IS likely to be the case in California
and several Of the southern states.
Uranus BODIES i'll for persons guilty
of disloyalty and indicates the uncov-
e-ing OF sedition and treachery, IN
which women viii be implicated
Again astrologers foresee the IN
masking Of traitors in government
positions.
Women should not take the initia-
tive in any business or official action
while this sway prevails.
Speculation should be avoided. Mis-
fortune viii attend all efforts TO make
money rapidly and the seers foreten
that a new point OF view concerning
certain accepted financial methods
viii be evident in the future.
Persons whose birth date It is have
the augury Of an active and success

cause anxiety. Changes viii be dis
