PRESIDENT TO SAIL IMMEDIATELY AFTER
 CONGRESS CONFINES
tcsntinued from Page one)

(O0MGMQGQ 4EV" Ia8c OHSt Vice President Marshall the vice presi- dent has not been so informed and this fact in itself was accepted in some quarters as clearly indicating that the President has decided that his physical absence from the country does not create such vacancy in the office as to fall within the section of the constitu- tion which clothes the vice president with authority to discharge the duties of the office during the inability of the President to act.
 The question of what effect the Presi- dents absence will have on the work of Congress was freely discussed to- might in congressional circles. Many held that the President could not ap- prove or veto legislation while absent, as the actual signature of the Presi- dent is required. Under the provision of the. constitution if bills are not acted upon by the chief executive with in 10 days after their passage they automatically become effective.
 LITTLE BUSINESS
 Very little important business will be transacted by Congress in Decem- Der under the programme as now out lined. No pressing legislative matters now pending or in prospect arel likely to be completed before the expected ad- journment of Congress for over the Christmas holidays. And if Congress does adjourn it will not reassemble un- til early in January and the President probably will return home soon after wards.
 There was no statement tonight as to whether the American delegates to the peace conference actually will ac- company the President or will follow al a later date In some quarters it was regarded as likely that they would make the trip with the President, SC as to have the advantage of conferences with representatives of the allied na' Itions before the peace conference con tvenes.
 Secretary Lansing undoubtedly will head the American commissioners. Others regarded as probable selec /. tions as delegates are Colonel House
 Louis D. Brandeis, associate justice Q the supreme court, and Elihu Root 1 former Secretary of State. Gen. Taske H. Bliss, former chief Of staff and mill
 tary representative of the United State lon the supreme war council, is ex tpeeted to head the military representa- tiyes from this country who will assis iE the work>at the peace conference
 while Vice Admiral Sims probably vii
 be selected to head the naval delegation l Besides the delegates and militar
 and naval representatives there wi. be secretary to the delegation an a number of assistant secretaries an clerks.
