NATION MAY SAVE

country's future military preparedness
viii not include use Of National Guard
Is the belief I'm some War Department
groups today. Practical killing OF the
National Guard, through the decision
OF Acting Judge Advocate Gen. Anzcll'
will necessitate substitution OF another
method Of reorganization OF the guard
In practically all states.
Thus far, IL is too early 10 know what
the country's attitude will be toward
the guard However. II is felt here that
political consideration and local COM
munity pride will result in an effort TO
revive the guard in many places. How
ever, general stan men, by reason Of
their training, are naturally favorable
10 a regular organization or 20 a system
which. centralizes In the War Depart
ment rather than in the states. This
spirit is believed likely 10 cause the
staff TO recommend some form Of uni
yersal military tralning-minus the

later TO present its views 10 Congress.
There is much doubt here that the

approval Of local attorneys, who find
II means for a speedy trial OF cases
and for the dispOsing Of minor cases
without going into Superior Court.

AMERICAN HEADQUARTERS IN
FRANCE, Dec. 25.-lBy Courier "a
Nancy.)-A vast sea OF tin-hais wave on
wave. swept before President Wilson
today as he reviewed eight thousand
American troops at Langrcs.
He told the soldiers they would get
the kind OF a peace they fought for;
that everybody at home was proud OF
them, just waiting the chance to ac-
claim them as conquering heroes on
their return.
The 5000 men who marched for the
President across a muddy field were rep
resentatiyes OF many divisions. II was
a dramatic moment. one OF the most
dramatic in history when the President
OF the United States on this Christmas
day stood before the American boys
who had come so far from home 20
fight and win. and congratulated them
on their Victory.
The President addressed the troops as
my fellow countrymen." He declared
that America had charted the plan for
peace and that all the nations concern
ed had accepted that chart. making the
process OF settlement comparatively
simple.
And" he said, everybody concern
ed In the settlement knows that II must
be a peoples peace and that nothing
must be done in the settlement OF the
issues OF the war which Is not as hand
some as the great achievements OF the
armies OF the United States and the
Allies"
After wishing the troops a happy
New York, saying IL was hard 10 bid
them a merry Christmas so far from
home, the President dined with the Of
flcers OF the Twenty-sixth Division.
All present wore decorations. Then
there was a long motor trip in the rain
with occasional flurries OF snow and
fickers OF sunshine.
The President visited the soldiers bill
lets. He was cheered all along the
route by the inhabitants. The party
halted once when an old French woman
