President' Wilson will leave Paris for London imiuodi- ately after his Christmas visit to General Pershing's headquarters at Chauinont. This was learned here today although the details of the American executives nips are being closely guarded. During the morning the President walked through the (streets of Paris. i leaving the Murat palace quietly. Mr. Wilson was accompanied by his per sonal physician. Dr. Grayson, and Hiel usual secret service agents, prom enaded towards the center of Hip city. The. President wore formal morn ing attire. Very few persons recog nized the distinguished visitor and those who did politely respected his incognito. Because he has been unable to take his customary golfing exercise in the mornings, Mr. Wilson plans to take up horseback riding in the Paris parks upon his return to Paris-from his holiday visits. The President's afternoon program included the receiving of a delegation of students after the degree o: doctor is conferred upon them by the Sorbonne. The significant interview-was given by President Wilson to a correspondent of the London Times, in which he expressed his opinion that a "just and reasonable" solution of the peace problems will be reached. Person !n close touch with Mr. Wilson hold the opinion that he intends to follow his early methods while at Trenton at governor of New Jersey and later as president in WashtngVm by appealing directly to the people. There is no secret of the fact that the President is disappointed over the delay in getting down to the preliminary conferences. Officials close to the President hold that when the American executive traveled over 3.000 miles, foregng the chance of Bpending Christmas at home, in order to confer with all parties, Premier Lloyd George and A. J. Halfour. the British foreign minister, should have been willing to postpone their vacation in order to expedite Mr Wilson's speedy return to America, because of the congressional exigencies. President Wilson will no' discuss business nor official matters while in Kngland next week, defer ring that until his return to Paris. The Socialist newspaper. L'liu manite, today printed a critical article on the attitude of Premiei Clenienceau, saying: "The first result of President Wilson's visit Is that Premier Clenienceau renounces his view on the society or nations." Mrs. Wilson was greatly pleased with her visit to the hospital for blind soldiers, organized by Miss Winnifred Holt, of New York. She talked with some of the sightless soldiers and was the recipient of numerous souvenirs. She was especially interested in the exhibitior of the handiwork or the institution. President Wilson's plans fot Christmas were completed today. Hf will leave Paris for General I'ersh Ing's headquarters at Chauinont or Monday and will spend two da with the American troops. The program of Presidential ac tivities for today included the con rerrlng of the degree of doctor bv the Serbonne at 4 o'clock in the af temoon and a motor trip to Versailles earlier in the day. The ceremonies in connection with the conferring or the honorary de-gree were planned to be held in Paris grand ampitheater and included ar address by Dr. Alfred Croist. dean o' the faculty. I'oiversity or Paris. Officials cannot understand criti clsm the,t has been coming from rer tain-British sources concerning tha' portion of the President's address to the American congress on Decembet 2, in which he said he " took fot granted that Congress would carry out the naval program undertaken before the United States entered the war." (The part of the President's speech relating to the naval program follows: "I take it for granted that the Congress will carry out the naval program which was underta ken before we entered the war. The secretary of the narv has submitted to your committees for authorization that part of the program that rovers the building plans of the next threr years. These plans have been prepared along the lines and in accordance with the policy which the Congress established, not under the exceptional conditions of the war. but with the intention of adhering to a definite method of development for the navy. I earnestly recommend the uninterrupted pursuit of that policy. It would clearjy be unwise for us to attempt to adjust our program to a future world policy as yet undetermined. It l learned on the highest sn-thority that President Wilson did boV look for aiy criticism in this connection aa he had evidently intended the final sentence of the par- GO TO LONDON agraph just nuoted to make dea I ni "Pinion. the original con gressional act of lMti authorizing the American naval policy contain an explanatory clause calculated I prevent any misconception of the I'nited States policy. The act de fined that the money appropriated for naval expansion was to be re turned to the government when International tribunal was establish ei to enforce peace without the use of armaments. Officials point out that the inclu sloti or this language in the act as long ago as IftDi proved the sinceii ty of President Wilson and Secretary of the Navy Daniels. The qualify ing clause, it is understood, was sug gested by former Assistant. Secretar of the American Treasurer Crosby who is now in Paris as bead of th financial commission. He refused to make any comment on the naval sit uation today. Expression of President Wilson opinion, which have become public make it more and more .evident that I he Is going into the peace eonl'erenc with an open mind and willing to listen to any arguments the repri senlutives of the associated power tnuy present. This is pleasing to the. conservatives while the soda Isis and liberals are strong in sup port of Mr. Wilson's progiam for league of nations. One interesting sidelight - on I hi conference was the authoritative statement today that Russia will b unofficially represented at the roum table. The Russian situation will be placed in the hands of a special committee and it is understood that representatives of theanti-Bnlslu-viki will present their case. Lord Northclifl'e, famous English publicist, has sent an invitation to all the American correspondents to meet him today ai the hotel Ritz. It was regarded as possible that Lord Northclifl'e desires a closer entente between the British and the Ameri can press. Premier Romanones, of Spain, the first neutral statesman to meet. Pres ident Wilson, has come out for a league of nations. fhere is a iina:mous desire on the part of Spain to participate In any such society of nations." the Spanish premier said today. "If the conference should decide upon universal disarmament and the sup pression of obligatory military train ing' Spain would adhere to this men sure with happiness. VAGUE NOTIONS SHOULD BE LEFT FORMFUTURE Senator Lodge Declares That Business of Peace Conference is to Make Peace With Germany.Washington, Dec. 21. The task of the peace conference is to make pence with Germany. All other prob-'fins "having to deal with issues that at this time are vague and tin-known," should go over for future discussion. Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, of Massachusetts who will be majority leader when the peace treaty is before the senate for ratifica-'ion, laid down this doctrine today. Senator Lodge singled out five of the president's 14 peace points which he said should be considered by the peace conference and should not be dealt with in the treaty. They aie; 1 -The president's first point e-latlng to secret diplomacy. 2 ..The second point dealing with he freedom of the seas. 3 The third point referring to he removal ol economic barriers. 4. The fourth point declaring for reduction of armaments. 5 The last point, lor the ctea-ion of a league of nations. The definite suggestion that the peace treaty might te rejected, or at j 'east greatly altered if it came to the enate carrying provisions for tivk-nt the r. S. a member of the league f nations, was contained in the con-j hiding; words of senator Lodge's adit ess: ' "The American people desire a 1 urompt action., on peace with Germany as is consistent with safety." he said. "The attempt to attach the ir'lsiop for an effective league of) nations to the treaty of peace now. ..aKie- w.tli tJermatiy. ould be to! 'aunch the nations who have been "ihting Germany on a of boundless discussion. It would cause wide differences or opinion and wopld bring long delays. If the attempt was successful and a league of nation, with the powers about hich I have ventured to inquire veted in it. were to come here before the senate it might endancer the pea"'- tro?' and cause amendment. It would lead us to very lone delays." Senator Lodge thus placed himself , and hia followers in the Mnae on re -' ord in direct opposition to President Wilson. HEP.K'S A BAX MKTI-:n Newark.
