WILSON not
WORRIED OVER
ARGUMENTS
Declares He Will Act as
President While He is in
France.

Washington, Nov. 27.-No weight is
attached by President Wilson to the
arguments of critics of his plans for
attending the peace conference that
upon crossing the sea he loses the
right to perform executive duties and
must allow them to devolve upon the
vice president.
1t was said officially today that the
president will administer the duties
of his office as completely aboard ship
and from Paris as though he were in
the United States. He holds that there
are no constitutional difficulties and
wireless and. cable communication
solves the physical problem.
Secretary Tumulty, instead Of be-
ing a member Of the peace party, will
remain, in Washington through the
presidents absence and conduct the
affairs Of the HVhita, Houses as usual.
He will be il constant touch with the
executive and expects to submit by
cable or wireless matters to be acted
upon just as he now submits them
personally or by messenger.

He was a visible factor of flesh and blood and muscle, and now he is a persuasive example, touching and inspiring more hearts to loyalty and moral courage than he might have been able to do had he lived.
 Long before his countrys army needed him and before he answered the call to the fighting lines, the young man had served in the American ann bulance corps in France Thrice he had been cited for bravery On his breast he wore the Creix de Guerre Time and again he had risked his own life to save the lives of men he did not know and never before had seen. He was not then a soldier in any army that marched under a national emblem, but he was soldier of the legion whose concern is for humanity and common justice
 When his own country needed him, he offered himself, imbued with the same spirit that prompted him to ser vice in the ambulance corps It was the spirit whose influence does not die with the body, and so it was the father said of the son that death was a promotion: that the taps" the reaper sounded was in fact reveille, summoning to birh CT rank and more far-reaching service

THE CAMPAIGN OF 1918

From "The Fifth Campaign" by Frank
 of Reviews.
 1T UST as no man at this time last
 year could have forecast Russian " collapse, no man can today foresee what will happen to France, Italy or Britain One or all of them may go down as Russia has, although nothing seems less likely or more preposterous But it is clear to all that if none of those three nations collapse during the next campaign, then German ruin is as- no longer be hidden from the German people. If next New Years Germany faces the world in arms against her without any strategic reserve, with a million fresh American troops, by this time fully equipped, trained, and pre- pared to join in the attack, her doom will be sealed.
 But before this time Germany will have approximately a year in which her foes will lack the numbers to crush her, and she will have the numbers>needed to con- duct one or several great attacks. If she does not conduct these attacks this year, if she accepts the defensive, then she will still be outnumbered in 1919 and con- demned to the defensive then, for her re- serves are below million and by no means first class. But for year she can stake all, her last mark and her last

Holiday in Honor
 of Lees Birthday

M LTHOUGH more than fifty 6A years have passed since Gen. eral Lee brought the civil war to an lend by surrendering to General Grant lat Appomattox, and nearly forty eight years since the illustrious Con- federate chieftain closed his eyes in eternal sleep, his memory is fondly cherished throughout the south and his name revered wherever lofty character and true chivalry are treasured
 This is the anniversary of Lees
 birthday and is a legal holiday in Alabama and seven other southern states. But in every part of the union Robert E. Lee is now classed with the American heroes of imperishable fame, regardless of section or earlier lCCliIS SIOWluS OuI Ol lIdlIdCludl strife.
 Lee was an ideal commanders master of maneuver, but the soul of honor, intrepid but gentle and hu- mane. As towering as he was in bat tie, and in his triumphs in the field, he was greater still in defeat, for it was then that his self-mastery re- vealed itself as compelling spiritual force and his fortitude as heroic as it was noble
 In these war-times the world sees leaders of military genius and of splendid valor and achievement; but in all the stir and turmoil and with all the rising victors that will dazzle the eager public and be acclaimed far and wide the lustre belonging to the name of Robert E. Lee-man and soldier will not fade.

 opponents and persuade them to qui.
 While she still has reserve.
 Accordingly, look for German attacks on the west front, in the Balkans and in Mesopotamia, where she is now free to use all Turkish troops, released from the Russian front in Armenia. Saloniea, Bagdad and Venice may be prizes of her new efforts in the next six months. No one of these successes would win the war or change the actual situation, but each would contribute much to creating just the atmosphere in Britain, France and Italy which Germany desires to create Taken together with some major German offensive against the British or the French on the west front. they might do the trick and bring Europe to peace by negotiation within the next F months and before the United States can become an effective factor on land.
 And this, believe, is the sum of what We have to fear for the campaign Of 1918. That the Germans can succeed now against the British where they failed in the first battle of Ypres, with every thing in their favor; that they can suc- ceed against the French. when they failed at the Marne and at Verdun. with tbe odds overwhelmingly with them. seems But they are condemned to try, because they are in no temper to admit defeat. and have still the resources for a new bid

WAR HOUSING

From the Chicago Herald
 That the national government will sup ply the deficiency of housing facilities of the war industries seems now to have been decided Chairman Hurley of the shipping board stated clearly the ship construction programme was being re- tarded because of the dearth of homes for workers. The great decision has there- fcre already been made.
 But the success of the home building project has not yet been assured Tn New York Frederick l.. Alderman. who investigated what Great Britain has done ir this field, protested sharply against the housing programme being adopted at Washington. MT. Alderman insists that the method of loaning capital for houses to the shipbuilding contractors has proved a decided failure in England. The contractors lack the governmental authority in obtaining the land needed and in addition their point of view is necessarily more narrow than that of the government

Y. M. c. A. Building
 Opened to Soldiers

LIEN RTH Birmingham's \ 4 spacious Young Mems Chris tian association building will be made headquarters for all men in the uni form of the army or navy, who will be entitled to the privileges of member ship without cost. Additional shower baths will be installed, books, games, writing materials and other conven- fences will be placed in the lobby and every soldier or sailor will be well come guest, no matter where he comes from.
 This step on the part of the Y. M. c. A. directors is most commenda- ble one and will doubtless be greatly appreciated by soldiers visiting Bir- mingham, who will have an ideal place in which to spend their leisure hours.
 Birmingham has one of the finest and best equipped Y. M. c. A. build ings in the country. It offers advant- ages that men of every age can en- joy, but particularly men of military age, many of whom are now in the service of their country Heretofore, large numbers of soldiers have been guests of the local Y. M. c. A. but a general invitation has not been ex- tended.
 The action taken by the Y M. c. A. directors will give new impetus to the efforts being made by the citizens of Birmingham to entertain as far as possible army and navy men who are continually passing through the city or spending few days here on leave Birmingham's hospitality has already become famous among these young patriots who appreciate everything that is done for them and go away singing the city's praises. We cannot treat them any better than they de- serve.
