MILLERAND LIKELY TO BE CHOSEN NEXT FRENCH PRESIDENT tContinued from First Page.) morning registering reservations that were coming in for tables for the luncheon which is a traditional fea ture of such assemblings. Millerand Prefers His Post as Premier to That of Presidency By Cable to TU" Star and Chicago Daily News. Copyright, 1920. PARIS, September 15.?Official cir cles here are discussing the question of a successor to President Deschanel. No doubt Premier Millerand can have the office if he chooses, but he doesn't seem to want it. Through Marcel Hutin, correspondent of the Echo De Paris, he announced that under no circumstances would he quit his pres ent position, and a well Informed i politician said the premier had told his colleagues that he preferred a post ] of power and action to one of cere- | mony and representation. "But many elements are pressing M. Millerand to change his decision," continued this informant. "Public opinion, especially in the provinces, would like to see him in the presi dential palace. He has gained a popularity in France second to that of no other living statesman. In the second place, there are many politi cians who covet the premiership. They fear that M. Millerand may re main there indeflnitelv. The leader of this class is Aristide Briand. He wants to play a leading role once more and he and his friends believe [hat a way of ridding themselves of M. Millerand would be to elevate him to the presidential chair. Strong- Man Wanted. "Finally there is a large and power ful class which wants a strong man. n the presidential office in order to }ring about a reform in the constitu tion. These people believe that the listinction between the legislative, ixecutive and Judicial powers in France has fallen into obscurity. The egislature is almost omnipotent and -he executive is wholly subordinate :o it. The only means of righting this iB to Increase the powers of the presi ient It- is known that M. Millerand s in favor of such reform and has proclaimed its necessity in many tpeaches. His powerful personality ilone can succeed in accomplishing it. "Moreover, besides the rejuvenation jf the executive there is still another eform which Millerand and his friends tave at heart, namely, the reduction of the number of departments and with them the number of governmental employes. The burden of the presi dent staff is heavy and an increase in wages is asked for. This, combined with the notorious red tape and the superfluity of official servants in France, has determined the govern ment to take some radical steps. Created by Napoleon I. The present departments or provinces were created by Napoleon I. Neither railroads, steamboats or automobiles existed at that time. In the present age of rapid communication, the de partments are obsolete. The main question at issue there fore is whether M. Millerand will or will not accept the presidency. I learn on the best authority that Presi dent Deschanel's case is regarded as hopeless. He has recovered somewhat to be sure, after four months sojourn in the country and perhaps he can live the normal life of a retired in dividual hereafter, but it is believed that he cannot preside over the cere monies November 11 or perform the heavy duties of public office. .

With more than a hundred flags fluttering in the early evening breezes, and with fifteen bands play ing martial airs, the 5,000 veterans attending the encampment here marched down Pennsylvania avenue early yesterday evening, and assem bled before the east steps of the Cap itol, where they were addressed by Secretary Daniels of the Navy De partment. President Wilson, from the east portico of the White House, reviewed the marchers. Mrs. Wilson standing beside him, and at 4 ^ street Gen Pershing. Gen. John A.

The parade was witnessed by thousands, who lined both sides of the street along the en tire route of the inarch, which began at 17th street and the Avenue, and the various units were repeatedly cheered. *nvy.Marine Contingent. Following an escort of mounted po lice came a troop of cafalry, a de tachment of marines and unother from the Navy, each beirtg headed by a band from its particular branch of the service. Immediately behind the national officers of the encampment came the District of Columbia mem bers of the order, followed by the delegates from out of town. The pa rade started at 6:30 o'clock, and it was 8 o'clock before it had finished and the community chorus on the steps of the Capitol, under the direc tion of Charles L. Wengard, sang the opening number of the program there. Large automobile trucks carried the wounded soldiers in the parade, stop ping near the speakers' stand at the Capitol. The rear of the procession was brought up by a float represent ing the American Red Cross, and an other manned by members of the chemical warfare service, which threw a heavy smoke screen over the Avenue as It progressed. Address by Secretary Daniels. Secretary Daniels was ths only speaker at the Capitol exercises, an nouncement being made that Secre tary Baker of the War Department was unable to be present. The Sec retary was accompanied by Rear Admiral Coonts, chief of naval op erations, and was Introduced by A a Seymour, secretary of the Washing ton Chamber of Commerce. In beginning his talk, the Secre tary said he had the privilege, In the name or John Paul Jones and other American heroes of the sea, to greet the men who in various wars had carried the banners of the American republic to foreign shores. "American soldiers have the sat isfaction of knowing they were never called to war except as chivalrous crusaders in a righteous cause," Mr. Daniels continued. "In every war that has taken men across our boun daries our soldiers and sailors have not fought for themselves, but for human rights and human liberties. And our victories have been won largely because we never asked men to engage in war unless it was a war of righteousness. "Twelve wars or military expedi tions have jUllsd American youths (rem their nuns* across the seas or to landa oth?> than their own, and your organlMton represents all such events within ths last half century, In the latest alruggU the people were united behlnd'their Army and Navy a? never before, and the front line of our de^nse was not so much in Prance as ilwaa In the hearts of the American Itftple.
