WILSON GOING TO

White House Issues an Official
Statement.
MRS. WILSON WILL ALSO GO

Voyage to Engage in Peace Con-
ference-Many Big Men to
Accompany Him.

Washington, Nov. 19.-Presldent
Wilson will head this country's dele
CATION to the peace conference. He eX-
poets to sail for France within day
or two after December ?, the opening
of the regular session of congress.
This was officially announced at the
White House The statement is as
follows:
1.-THE president expects to sail for
France Immediately after the opening
of the regular session of congress Tor
the purpose of taking part in the dis
cussion and settlement of the main
features of the treaty of peace.
ut is not likely that it will be pos
sible for him to remain throughout the
sessions of the formal peace confer
ence, but his presence at the outset is
necessary in order to obviate the mani
fest disadvantages of discussion by
cable in determining the general out
lines of the final treaty, on which he
must necessarily be consulted.
HE will, of course, be accompanies
by delegates who will sit as the repre-
sentatives of the United States
throughout the conference. The names
of the delegates will be presently an
nOunced."
Mrs. Wilson will accompany the
president, it was learned, and the en-
tire peace ENJOYS, secre-
taries, stenographers and the like
will probably sail on one of the Ameri-
can battleships. possibly the Pennsyl-
vania.

Peace Conference in December.

The presidents announcement set
ties two questions. The first of these
is the fact that the peace conference
will be an early one, beginning in De-
cember; the second is that it will be
held at Versailles.
The president will appear before
congress, presumably on the day it's
regular session opens, to explain more
infinitely the reasons why, at this time,
it is imperative for him to go abroad.
His reasons, it was said, VIII go far
toward modifying the feeling in GER
tain quarters of the senate and the
house that it is unwise for him to
leave the country.
There are two outstanding reasons
why the presidents attendance is nee
essary at the peace conference. He
wants to preserve the unity of counsel
that brought victory to the allies and
America on the battlefield, and which
characterized the sessions of the su-
preme war council at Versailles, and
he also wants to make secure the foun-
dations of League of Nations.
The latter is his plan for world and
lasting peace and he is so strongly
convinced of it's efficacy that he is 60
ing to Europe to put it into concrete
form.

President to Be Chief Figure.

PRESIDENT 10 be Cnfer Figure.
By common consent and appreciation
of all the allies the president will as
sumo the leading role at the moment
Gus conference. The position of the
United States in the great. war, coupled
with his position as this nations
spokesman, will make him the chief
figure and one whose word will COM
mand the respectful audience of all
civilization.
He will be able to see the peace con-
ference started with the fright foot for
ward" and officials and diplomats here
believe that will be half the battle for
the eventual amicable settlement Of
the grave questions it will have before
1t.
The president will be absent from
the United States for three weeks or
a month. Possibly 1t Will be for a
longer period, denendent, of course,
on developments on the other side.
The presidents announcement of his
impending departure is deemed a suffi-
cient answer to the query, "Does the
Constitution allow him to leave the
country" If 1t did not he would not
go. So that settles it.
To those persons who feel that he
will sharter precedent is the recollec-
ton that three of the four presidents
before him-Grover Cleveland, Theo-
dore Roosevelt and William Howard
Taft-also shattered precedents. Mr..
Cleveland was outside the territorial
waters of the United States on yacht
ing trip, while both Mr.. Roosevelt
and Mr.. Taft visited the Canal Zone
and also stepped out Of it's boundaries
in the republic of Panama. Further
more, it Is recalled, Mr.. Taft crossed
the international bridge over the Rio
Grande and stepped o.. Mexican soil

The pivotal character of the story
is Philip Landicutt, a young man Of
New Hork's wealthy leisure class.
who is firmly entrenched behind class
pride, race prejudice and unbelief in
the God of Christianity. His virtues
are passionate pity for the oppressed.
a fine sense of chivalry that cannot
contemplate a wrong unmoved and
the quick self-sacrifice of youth.
These redeeming qualities sweep him
into the chaos Of war. In the white
heat Of stupendous happenings his
soul is cleansed, and he energies with
that love for humanity which is the
very essence Of democracy.

North Wales lies on the little

and with this mingle the linking Of

Welshmen who inhabit North Wales.
The civic pride Of Bedd GeIert is
centered about the inn. Royal Goat,
whose parlor boasts the only real piano

prosperous villagers come to drain
mugs, and it is here that the English
tourists stop on their way TO the an

Besides the Royal Goat there are
also the inns Of Ty Isaf and Ty Ucha.
II was Ty Isaf that held the famous
Large Pint Of Bedd Gelert." a large
mug Of pewter with a capacity Of two
quarts. Any Welshman who could
drink this quantity Of beer at a sin
gle breath might charge his score to
the lord OF the manor. It is recorded
that this deed was so often accom-
plished by the heroic drinkers Of the
countryside that less than half the
rents were paid in money.
Legend is still rife in Bedd Gelert

Arthur and his knights are still told

UNCLE WIGGILY AND BILLY'S LESSONS
IL HOWARD r. aARIS.

/ TNCLE WIGGILT LONGEARS, the
y bunny rabbit gentleman. was one
day walking through the forest at
Woodland, near the Orange Ice noun
tains, wondering If he would have an
adventure. He had come back from
the seashore. where he and Nurse
Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy. his muskrat lady
housekeeper, had lived in a hollow
stump bungalow on the beach.
But, dear met exclaimed Uncle
Wiggily. as he looked around among
the trees 1T doesn't seem that 1 am
going 10 have much Of an adventure
here 1 might better have stayed at
the seashore."
And. just as he said that. all Of a
sudden he heard a sad little voice
saying:
'Oh. I never can do it, I'm stuck.
and that's all there is about it, Oh,
my. why did I ever try it,"
''Ha. There's my old friend trouble.-'
exclaimed Uncle Wiggily. twinkling
his pink nose until you could hardly
tell whether II was a diamond ring or
new dish pan. Some one is in
trouble, as sure as 1 have long ears.
said the bunny, "and I'm going TO
help them. I spose it's some Of my
animal boys and girls. like Sammie
or Susie Littletau Maybe some OF
them have climbed a buckleberry
bush and have become stuck there so
they can't get down. I'll help them.
So Uncle Wiggily peeked through
the bushes, and there he saw Billie
Bushytail. the squirrel boy. sitting
under tree with some books, some
pieces Of white birch bark for paper.
and a fireblackened stick for q pencil.
Why. Billiei' exclaimed the bunny
uncle. I thought YOU were stuck up
a tree and in trouble"
well. I'm in trouble all right" said
the squirrel boy. but it's about my
lessons. and not about a tree. There's

We'll, its better to be stuck about

"Oh, my Ha, Hat Nonsense Puff
puff laughed Uncle Wiggily. and
his pink nose twinkled this time like
a strawberry tart" Why, cherry pie
Is the easiest word in the world to
spell said the bunny. Here. just eat
a bit OF the pie first. and then you'll
never forget how 10 spell It."
So Uncle Wiggily took off his tall
silk hat, and inside it, wrapped in a
clean napkin, was a piece Of cherry

! very morning. Billie Bushytan ate
part OF it, and the bunny the rest. and
then the squirrel boy could spell
cherry pie as easily as you can.
What next2" asked Uncle Wiggily
"Oh, it's a big arithmetic example

Listen II I have Is cents. and want
TO buy a lonypop for one cent. a

much viii have left? Isn't that
hard?
We'll, it is pretty hard" said Uncle
Wiggily. But think can help YOU

VIII be TO take the Is cents, go buy

''Thatu be fun,r chatted Billie.
So he and the bunny uncle started
