Wilson On Road To Health

Not since the Roosevelt boys hung
their stockings in a row under the
marble mantle in the east room, has
Santa Claus been called upon to load
his pack so heavily for his visit to the
White House as he will be this Christ
mas.
For Christmas time is to be a real
season of joy at the executive mansion
this year. In addition to the joys oc-
casioned by the foregathering for the
first time of all present, Wilson chill
dren and grandchildren and the re-
sulting holiday festivities of the
younger generation, there will be
added gladness and gratitude on the
part of the grown-ups because of the
fact that the President, grand
father, to those celebrating the day
with him, has passed the crisis of a
dangerous sickness and appears to be
on the way to health again.
So definitely has the Presidents
condition progressed in the past two
weeks that Christmas plans, held in
allegiance during the period when it
seemed that Christmas might wen be
a s~orrowfuI time at the White House,
are now being made to make the
White House a center of yuletide joy.
There will be a honey Christmas
tree, with tinsel and gew gaws and
twinkling electric lights to fascinate
Woodrow II, fully named Woodrow
Wilson Sayre, the youngest of the
Presidents grandchildren, who will
be paying his first visit to his grand
father. Woodrow II, however, prob
ably will MT appreciate it as much as
his elder brother and sister, Francis
and Ellen, aged 5 and 8 respectively;
for this is his first Christmas.
Ellen and Margaret McAdoo will al
so be among the juveniles waiting for
Santa to come down the big White
House chimney, ~untroubled by the
thought that as there are half a dozen
chimneys in grandfather's house,
Santa might choose the wrong one.
In addition to the grandchildren,
the White House Christmas party will

five AT MEETING
Each of Larger Allies Will
Have Five Representatives.
Other Nations Represented Ac-
cOrding to Extent of Interest.

Paris, Jan. 14.-France, Great
Britain, Italy and Japan each will
have five representatives in the peace
conference. This was decided upon
Monday by the supreme council en-
gagged in the preliminary work of Or
ganizing the peace procedure.
The British dominions, it was de-
cided, will be represented apart from
Great Britain. Canada. Australia,
South Africa and India will have two
representatives each and New Zealand
will have one delegate. Consideration
of the question of Russian representa-
ton was postponed.
The size of the representation of
each nation was decided upon not, as
proposed by the French plan in ac-
cordance with the part played by the
nation in the war. but following the
American and British plan in proper
ton to the extent of the interest Of
each nation in the peace settlement
The question of representation set
tied, the council began the discussion
of procedure. A proposal by Presi-
dent Wilson concerning the sending
of problems to technical committees
for xamination was adopted. At the
meeting on Wednesday. the council
will fix upon the methods of work and
the guiding principles of the confer
ence President Poincare will open
the plenary session of the peace con-
ference on Saturday with an address,

Recruiting for Service Is Being

Washington. Jan. 14.-Naval de-

recruiting for the permanent service
Is being pressed now so that the navy
may be prepared to man big German
merchant ships which the allied war
council is considering allotting to aid
in the task of bringing the American
army home from France.
Secretary Daniels said today he had
been in communication on the sub
Ject with Admiral Benson at Paris and
was confident that necessary person
mel could be supplied for the enemy
craft In looking over the list of ships
in German harbors, it has been found
that the larger German liners furnish
a transport capacity for 10000 men
a month. Mr.. Daniels said it was
anticipated that many young men
now in the service and eager to be
discharged after a short period at
home. would again feel the call of
the sea and re-enlist.

CUT THE DELEGATIONS
Movement Under Way To Reduce
Peace Meet Members.

Paris. Jan. IA movement was
under way today to reduce the proper
tionate representation of small nations
at the peace conference in order to
make the congress less unwieldy. I'm
der the original scheme. proposed by
France, delegates were to be appor-
toned according to the Importance of
the role their nations played in the
war. This apparently has been
changed so the various powers will be
represented according to the impor-
tance of their peace interests
This would not affect the five great
nations-the United States, Great
Britain. France. Italy and Japan
each of which would retain five dele
gates. The other nations would vary
between one and three representatives
with a tendency toward reducing the
number for the smallest allies The
British dominions may each have their
own voice in the conferences, on the
ground that each is a separate nation
and sent its own force to France
Diplomats who drew up the original
plan are understood to have no oppo-
sition to these changes. which already
have been discussed.

RUSSIANS Get IN
All the Nations Who Fought
Against Huns Admitted.
They Will Have Seats at the
Coming Peace Meet.

Paris. Jan. 14.-Russia may be rep
resented, together with all the other
nations that were engaged in the war
against Germany. at the first formal
meeting of the peace conference.
Whether Russia will have a delega-
ton probably will be decided at the
next meeting preliminary to the con-
gress. This will be held tomorrow.
The first question to come before the
actual peace conference will be that
of the proposed league of nations. and
it was made known today that it had
been planned for the conferees to
devote twelve hours daily to this work
if necessary until it is on the way to
completion.
There is some reason for believing
that the first plans for the structure
of a league of nations to be laid be-
fore the conference probably will be
somewhat composite, representative of
a consensus of opinion on the part of
the American. British and French
statesmen who have been discussing
the subject. 1t will not purport to be
a finished product but it is intended
to serve as a starting point for de-
velopment.

Progressive Leaders Demand
Meeting of Big Problems.
Say New Alignment VIII Wipe
Out Political Parties.
SOLVE READJUSTMENT PUZZLE.
Caution Against "Ostrich Tao
ties" in Handling Bolshevism.
OutlfA Necessary Legislation
To Combat This Move.

Washington, Jan. 14.-That a new
alignment of the people is coming that
will sweep away existing political par
ties unless they face and solve read
justment problems was the warning
sounded to Democratic and Republic
can chieftains today by Senators Ken
yon and Borah, progressive leaders.
They cautioned against ostrich tac-
tics" as a means of disposing of the
menace of Bolshevism in the United
States. They urged honest, fearless,
straightforward action by the gov
ernment and political leaders to cope
with construction problems affecting
the great mass of the American people.
Warming to Stand Patters.
After sounding the warning to
stand patters" in both parties that
"a terrific jolt is coming to them from
the American people" unless present
conditions are remedied, Borah and
Kenyon outlined ways of meeting the
Bolshevism menace to this country.
They represent the progressive group
in the senate.
Those in power, whether in politi-
cal parties or in the government, who
blind themselves to the menace of
BolSheViSm in the country are court
ing disaster said Kenyon. THE
workers of this country recognize the
menace. They don't want BolShevism.
They fear it. But they realize it is
spreading here, and that something
must be done to stop it. They look to
their leaders to stop it.
Appeals are being made to Repuo-
lican and Democratic party leaders to
put their respective parties on record
for a broad, wise governmental well
fare policy that will recognize the
rights of the workers as they have
never been recognized. One of the
| most conservative men in the Repub-
| lican party discussed the question wit h
me recently, because of requests frGEl
his Coz stituents that he get congress
busy on welfare legislation. He is a
party leader, a presidential possibility.
He realizes the menace. But all the
party leaders do not.
The People Want Action.
| "What the people want is action,
| not talk; results, not promises. The
! wise political party is the one which
will go on record for and then obtain
| laws like the following:
| 81. Creating at once a commission
on public works to cooperate with the
states in pushing necessary public
work during hard times and to act
as a buffer in absorption of surplus
labor IN the reconstruction period.
| This will remove the unemployment
menace which is growing by leaps and

KEEP The WIRES
p. o. Department Solicitor Pre-
diets Company Ruin.
Says Government Should Con-
tinue Control for Some Time.

Washington, Jan. IA Financial
losses and in some cases ruin for tel
ephone companies was predicted to-
day by W. H. Lamar. solicitor of the
postoffice department and member of
the wire control committee as certain
to follow unless the government oper-
alton of the wire systems was ex-
tended for at least two or three years
to permit a general reconstruction of
rates and restoration of normal condi-
tions.
Mr.. Lamar, testifying before the
house postoffice committee, said he
individually was opposed to govern
ment ownership of utilities, but
thought this question should be in
vestigated during the extended period
of control essential to prevent cha
otic conditions. He insisted that the
pending administration bill merely
provided for extended government
control and that the paragraphs di-
recting the postmaster general to ap-
praise and report on the value OF tele-
graph companies and to negotiate con-
tracts for purchase of telephone lines
in no way finally committed congress
to actual purchase of the properties.
Aside from other consideration
against Immediate return of the sys-
remained to be done toward the elm
ination of wasteful practices through
unification.
"As to whether the government can
operate the properties as successfully
as private owners can do under exist
ing conditions" Mr.. Lamar contin-
ued, Il am inclined to think may be
fairly determined in favor of such
control, but I am not at all satisfied
in my own mind that a system might

formation brought here to'ay by a
prominent Hollander, who just left
Count Bentincks castle, where he was
a guest.
He declared the former emperor
talks continually. His conversation is
rambling and erratic. He cannot
sleep at night and guardians of the

do SO.
He also is determined at times to
surrender to the British.
He Grows a Beard.
Amerongen, Jan. 14.-William Ho-
