are complete. He will leave Paris late

Yea r's day. The president's movements
while ho is with the army, which were
at first entirely in the hands of Gen.
Pershing, have been changed in one
respect. Mr. Wilson insisted upon tak
ing Christmas dinner with the troops
and eating from a mess kit with the
soldiers about him. He will have for
mal dinner with (Jen. Pershing and his
Officers later. After reviewing the
troops the president will deliver an ad

On his arrival at Chaumont to visit
the American army the president will

the prefect and mayor of Chaumont.
French and American guards of honor
and an American band. After his re

president, will return by automobile to
Chaumont. On the way he will stop
at several small towns where American
troops are stationed, to inspect the
quarters and talk with the men.
President, and Mrs. Wilson went
Christmas shopping yesterday, visiting
many of the principal shops during a
tour of two hours in the center of
Paris. Both have been about the city
before, but this was the first time they
ventured into the shopping district to
gether, as they often do in Washing
ton. They walked from the Mtrnit resi
dence down one of the principal boule
vards, going first to a widely known
American hook store, where Mr. Wil
son was at once recognized. After
making several purchases there the,y
went to some shops Mrs. Wilson de
sired to visit, and spent some, time
"window wishing.'' as It is sometimes
called In the United State. Many
members of the temporary. Ajnerltajv,
colony in the French capital saw them.'
The show wsndowl were ablaze with
light and full of pretty things, ' and
Mr. and Mrs. Wilson strolled fi'om one.
to anottrer arm in arm. stopping ..to
admire and chat and often to go Inside
'4 buy. They made remarkable pro
gress with Ft .-neb clerks, who did not
always recognise them. Few Parisians
ditfknow Mr. and Mrs. Wilson, but all
Americans, with whom the center of
Paris now teejgex. gave greetings, which
the presldeitlnnd his wife returned
with smiles ami bows.
When shoppfilg was finished and Mr.
and Mrs. Wilson had accumulated many
packages, an automobile driven by one
of the American motor corps drivers,
took them home. The president always
remembers those who are members of
his immediate staff at holiday time, and
this year they will have presents
bought In Paris.

in narrow escape
One of the narrowest escapes from
death during the war probably was that

son of Mr. and "Mrs. S. fleorge Hexter.

three weeks before the armistice was
signed.
Lieut. Hexter's name Is included in

While wit h the Ofith aero bombing
squadron, the first to cross the (!er
man border, the squfldron came sud
denly upon several German pursuit
planes. There were five occupants of
Lieut. ITexter's huge machine and three
of them fell victims to the German
planes outright. Only the pilot and
Lieut. Hexter emerged alive.
One bullet went through the Mem
phian's cheek, another broke one of his
coggies and a third creased his fore
head, the two injuries being only flesh
wounds.
Lieut. Hexter enlisted In the spring
of 1917. and trained at .nk Georgia
Tech ground school. He has been in
France for more than a year and was
slightly wounded once ' before. His
mother, Mrs. S. f). Hexter. is a sister
to Abe Goodman, of the Commercial

BY DAVID LAWRENCE
Tho News Scimitar's Special Corre
spondent. PARIS. Dec. 1H. Members of the
American mission to negotiate peace
feel thai the speech of Senator Knox,
cjeHvarad 'f tiursday 'Jst, was very un
fortunate ami embarrassing to their
work. Senator Knox's utterance was
prominently displayed both in the Brit

ing the strength Of the opposition in the
majority party in the American con
gress, iienator Knox's view that negotiations
to establish a league of nations should
be settled not at the present but by a
future congress, Is. of course, in direct
opposition to President Wilson's posi
tion, who holds thai an organization to
insure the future peace of the world
should he the first consideration at this
time.
Senator Knox confined bis opposition
to the league of nations, saying that the
present conference should deal only with
the issues between the allies atirl their
enemies. The speech of Senator Knox on
Saturday, however, was even more In
Opposition to the course of the presi

was taken to five of Mr. Wilson's 14
points. Senator- edge would defer not
only consideration on a league of na

armaments, freedom of the seas, secret
diplomacy and the removal of eco

A close friend of Senator Knox told
me that he believed the Inter would

(ion March, chief of atail, on 30
aiePSd foi air opinion aa to the ataius
of members ol the natlnnul guard BUb-
aequehl to their fttejiarta from ihe
federal service. Ills ineiuoi amlum called
attention lo a dlges; ol an opinion of
the juiige-iuivo, igM-general last JanU'
my In which II was said that when the
guanlsmsn were mustered out of the
Federal service they would revert to
their mllltla status and also tu Iholr
ale I nn In the national guard.
Hen. Anaell, in hie nplnwn, points out
thai tins opinion was based upon the
muster out and not upon discharge, and
gduetl
"As n mailer of fuel, Ihe opinion In
the digest in which this sentence occurs
holds, without qualification, thai ihe

cludes the national guard. Vurthor

How It Works.
The practice of the war departinenl
since demobilisation begun has bean to
honorably dlaeharge men of the im-
ofv)irgd to r el run to lMe-.U:nl) jnrr-i
aulla. If this were done In very,cM
the result would be to end the existence
of nearly every guard mill In the coun
try except a few organised after the
guard was drafted Into the federal ser
vice. Mustering out as qnlla without dis
charges may make reorganisation tin.
necessary, This undoubtedly win bl
soiiuhi Insistently, particularly in the
cane of famous guard orfanlaatlona wlrh
trnaaureil histories and traditions
There has been no announcement as vol
of the department's policy.
When rederalliatlon of the national
guard was enacted in lha national de
fense act of 91 a dual oath of alle
giance for the members of thai service
was required, allegiance primarily to
the federal government ami secondarily
tn the state government being sworn
by officers, and men alike wlnn I heir
oaths were talon Every national guard
mill in th untry was required to sub.
scribe in this oath
The language of ihe national defense
ad. however. Is specific In stating thai
when the national guard draft has been
applied by ihe president. Ihe member4
of the (,'iinrd are then dlsebargrd frog"
Ihe mllltla nf the country. The purpose
aimed ai waa to make the national
gusrd after the drnn a force that eouid
be employed outside the country which
could not be done under the con
atltutlon while Ita members remained in
the mllltla.
