Will eat his holiday meal in his room

his appetite fancies. This will be the
most complete meal the chief eXecu-

his illness last September.
Though the Presidents weak physical
condition will preclude presence of his

the White House. the other holiday
traditions OF the executive mansion
will be observed. and turkeys have
been ordered for all of the White
ployes of the staff. A number of pres

dren who live along the route from
the White House to the country club
in Virginia, where the President plays
golf when his health permits. 1t is
probable that Mrs. Wilson will dis
tribute these gifts personally on
Christmas day. SO far as could be
lea rned today, neither Mrs. Francis b.
Sayre nor Mrs. William G. McAdoo
will come to Washington to spend
Christmas with their father. as it has
been deemed inadvisable for them to
bring their children here just now. A

by the President in his room on

keep him company most OF the day,
but no risk of his overeXertion or eX-
posture to draughts will be taken by
those nursing him back to health.

Seeks Grounds on Which Re-
pubIicanS and Democrats
Can Agree.

ed today by Senator Hitchcock and
other democratic senators interested

ences will he entirely informal and
for the purpose of ascertaining
whether il will not be possible TO
reach some common ground upon
which the friends of the treaty on
both sides of the chamber can agree.
While no program for a compromise
has yet been suggested. IL is known
that some of the republican senators
will be willing to abandon the so
called preamble" of the reservs-
tons adopted in the Senate at the
last session. which would compel
three of the principal allied powers
to accept affirmatively the reserVa-
tions proposed by the United States
Another reservation which at least
one of the republican senators rs
willing to throw overheard is that
relating to Shantung.
Republicans will insist. howeNe"'
upon the reservation to article VII.
which reservation would make 1T clear
that the United States does not bind
itself to maintain the territorial
boundaries of the members of the
league of nations from external ag-
gression. They will also insist thai
the reservation relating to withdrawal
from the league and the reservation
eliminating all domestic questions.
and the reservation eliminating the
Monroe doctrine shall be retained
The reservation providing for with
drawal from the league of NATIONS by
a concurrent resolution of Congress
will likely be changed. if some of the
republicans have their way. to joint
resolution which would provide for
affirmative action by the President as
well as by Congress in Withdrawing
the United States from the league.
