Morris said, because if l would
give you the slightest encourage
ment you are liable to go to work
and figure where Mrs. Murat is
kicking to Mr.. Murat that she
couldn't make out with the house
keeping money while the Wilson's
is in Paris, on account Of having
to buy an extra bottle of Grade

like that, which you talk like Mr..
and Mrs. Wilson was in Paris on
couple OF weeks vacation,
whereas the President has come
here to settle the peace of the
world"
Did l say he didn't" Abe pro-
tested.
And while you are sitting here
talking a lot OF nonsense" Morris
went on, big things is happen
ing, which with all the questions
he has got to think about, I bet
yer the President oser worries
his head about little affair like

are experts in. Which l bet yer
every time the President tried
to get a little exercise by walking
around the promenade deck after
lunch there was an expert on

was all worked up to tell every
thing he knew about Jugo-Slobs
in a couple of laps, provided the
President lasted that long"
well, I'll tell you," Abe said,
"a man which employs experts to
ask advice from deserves all he
gets, Mawruss, because you know
how it is when you ask an advice
from somebody which don't know
thing in the world about what
he is advising you. He'll talk
you deaf, dumb and blind any
how. So you can imagine what
it must be like when you are
getting advice from an expert"

the President gets through he

"And the result will be that

said, "and they get a new Polish

of the countries engaged in this
here Peace Conference is coming
to France with a statement Of
the very least they would accept
and it is pretty generally under
stood that all such statements arc
subject TO a very stiff discount,
which that is what these here pre-
liminaries is for, Abc-to get
line on the discounts before the
Peace Conference discusses the
claims themselves"
"Wcll, when It comes to The

selves about league Of nations and
freedom of seas, am content
that they should be allowed a
liberal discount on what they say

off advice from experts, otherwise
the first time the President con-
suits one of them experts, if he's
going to wait for the expert to
get through, he will have to be
elected to a third term and then
maybe hold over, at that" Morris
commented.
Il should think the President
would be glad when this Peace
Conference is over" Abe said.
Say! For that matter he'll be
glad when it's started" Morris
said. Which the way it looks
now, Abe, the preliminaries of a
peace conference is harder on a
President in the way of speeches
and parades than two liberty loan
campaigns and an Inauguration.
Take, for instance, the matter OF
dinners, and ! bet yer before he
even goes to London next week
he would have six meals with the
President of France alone-I can't
remember his name"

81 thought at the time l read
about them experts coming over
to help the President in the
Peace Conference that he was let
ting himself in for something" "
Abe observed.

that's where Colonel House was
wise when he comes over on a
steamer ahead of them, because
it is bad enough when you are
crossing the ocean in winter time

States and to have to try not to

he said, the freedom of the seas
is like this he says You take

stands in the same relation to the

"And do you suppose for one

ner, Morris Perlmuttcr, in their
hotel room on the night alter
the Presidents arrival IN Paris. "a
President is only human, and it
seems to me that if they would of
given him a chance to go quietly
to a hotel and wash up after the
trip, understand, it would be a
whole lot better as meeting him
at the railroad depot and starting
right il with the speeches"
What do you mean-give him
a chance to wash up" Morris
asked. Don't you suppose he
had a chance to wash up on the
train, or do you think him and
Mrs. Wilson sat up all night in
day-coach?"
81 don't care if they had a
whole section" Abe retorted; 1T
amt the easiest thing in the world
to step off a train in a stoyepipe
hat, with a clean shave, after a
twenty-hour trip, even if it would
of been one them eighteen-hour
limiteds even, and begin right
away to get off a lot OF schmooes

press the surprise and qualification
he feels at such an enthusiastic
reception, in pccially as he prob
ably lay awake half the night try
ing to memorize the bigger part

But Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson amt
putting up at no hotel. They

planned.

We'll, what ever it is, he looks
like hearty eater, Abe" Morris
remarked.
"In fact, Mawruss, from what
seen of them French politicians
in the parade this morning." Abe
observed, none of them looked
like they went slow on starchy
foods and red meats, whereas take
the American Peace Commission
ers, from the President down, and
while they don't all of them give
you the impression that they eat
breakfast food for dinner exactly,
still, at the same time, if these
here peace preliminaries is going
to include more dinners than pa
rades, the French Commissioners
has got them under a big handi-
cap"
Maybe you're right" Morris
agreed. But my idee is that
with these here preliminary peace
dinners it amt such bad thing
for us if our Peace Commission
ers wouldn't be such hearty eaters,
understand, because you know
how it is when we've got hard
boiled egg come into the place
to look over our line, it's a whole
lot better to get an idee Of about
how much he expects to buy after
lunch than before, in especially if
we pay for the lunch. So if this
here President Lefkowitz, or
whatever the feller's name is, ex-
poets to fill up the President with
a big meal of them French a la
dishes until Mr.. Wilson gets so
good-natured that he is willing to
tell not only his life history but
also just exactly what he means
by a league of nations, y'under-
stand, the dinner might just as
we'll start and end with two poach-
ed eggs on toast for all the good
it will do"
"Still, it amt a bad idee to have
all these dinners over and done
with before the business of the
Peace Conference begins, Nav
russ" Abe remarked, because
h'afterwards, when Mr.. Wilson's
attitude on some of them four
teen propositions for peace be-
comes known, understand, it
amt going to be too pleasant for
Mrs. Wilson to be sitting by the
side of her husband and watch
the looks of some of the guests
sitting opposite during the fish
course, for instance, not wishing
him no harm, but waiting for a
good sized bone to lodge sideways
in his throat, or something"
"She is used to that from home
already, whenever she has a few
Republican Senators to dinner at
the White House." Morris said.
"But that amt here nor there,
anyhow, because after the Peace
Conference begins the President
will be so busy, understand, that
sending out one of the Assistant
Secretaries of State to a Busy
Bee lunchroom to bring him a
couple of sandwiches and some
coffee will be the nearest to a
formal dinner that the President
will come to for many a day.
Take, for instance, the proposition
of the freedom of the seas, and
there's whole lot to be said on
both sides by people like yourself
