PARIS, Dec 17. (Special.) President
Wilson's preference for simple living
Is endearing hlra to the French pub
lic They like to read of his rigid
adherence to the food .restrictions, of
his quiet luncheons and dinners en
famllie, of his drives to Versailles
and in the Bois de Boulogne alone
with Mrs. Wilson. They even applaud
his strict observance of Sunday, al
though their own fashion of spending
Sunday Is very different.
Presidential simplicity pleases the
Parisians because they deem it as con-
I '; vlncing evidence of the sincerity of the
President's democracy.
Simple Tastes Approved.
My concierge says of him: '
"He Is Just a good bourgeois who
knows what is In the minds and hearts
of the plain people all over the world."
The French are well aware of the
President's desire to get down to busi
ness and, eager as they are to see him
in public, they fully appreciate the
necessity of his losing no time in be-
ginning the conversations for which
he has come here.
The Informality that prevails In and
about the Murat palace Is a source of
great satisfaction to the President's
hosts. There Is no elaborate cordon of
a-oldlers. two doughboy sentries being
the only guards at the entrance. In
addition to the President's household
there never has been more than two
or three guests at the table, and these
were old friends.
Heals Are Not Elaborate.
Meals are prepared by Prince Murat's
chef. The Sunday luncheon consisted
of hors d'oeuvres, eggs, white sauce,
saddle of lamb, celery, fruit and cheese,
and for dinner there were thick soup,
filet of sole, hare cutlets, stewed chic
ory. Ices, fruit and cheese.
DINNER. IS GIVEN WILSON
.Ambassador Sharp Acts as Host to
President and Wife.
PARIS, Dec 17. The American Am
bassador, William Q. sharp, gave s
dinner this evening In honor of Presi
dent and Madame Poincare and Presi
dent and Mrs. Wilson. The guests in
cluded the Ambassadors to France, the
Presidents of the Senate and Chamber
of Deputies, the Ministers of Marine
and Foreign Affairs, Marshals Joffre
and Foch and the Prefect of the Seine
and their wives, the American dele
gates to the peace conference and Gen-
erals Pershing, Bliss and Harts.
A reception followed the dinner, at
which many notable men of France
and the United States were present. A
great crowd massed in front of the
Embassy acclaimed both Presidents.
President Wilson's official visit to
Paris came to a close last night. The
Paris edition of the London Daily Mail.
In discussing the President's reception,
says:
"He has had one of the most re
markable receptions ever accorded a
guest of the French nation, although
'the President has been careful to give
I his view that in him Paris has seen the
representative of the American Nation.
ine ceremony in tne City Hall was
no formal function given in honor of a
distinguished visitor, but a grateful
tribute to a sister republic whose aid,
arriving 'so opportunely, assured the
victory of the allied arms."
President Wilson has been deeply
Impressed by the magnificent recep
tion given him in Paris, the more so
that assurances are declared to have
come to him that the French people, as
a- whole, are sincere in their accept
ance of his principles and will uphold
them. That the people are supported
in this by the government seems to be
indicated by the first interview be-

U: S.-BRITAIN SAID TO
AGREE ON SEA POWER
LONDON TIMES SEES NO REA
SON FOR ANTAGONISM. '
Conntries Should Work Out Settle
ment of Maritime Questions,
Says English Newspaper.
LONDON, Dec 17. In the course of
an article analyzing the American
views on the freedom of the seas, the
legal correspondent of the Times, after
referring to modifications In these
views which he says have resulted
from the war, continues:
"Far from there being any necessary
antagonism between the British and
American views of the so-called free
dom of the seas, there Is revealed the
possibility of .n Anglb - American
agreement respecting the main lines of
the declaration of maritime rights and
duties to be worked out, not at the
peace conference, but at future con
ferences." Enumerating the points on which he
assumes agreement can even be
reached, the correspondent goes on:
"Both countries would doubtless in
sist 'upon restrictions being imposed
upon submarine war, while the prac
tice of strewing mines In the open sea
is condemned both by Great Britain
and the United States. They both
sought in 1907 to prevent abuses of the
practice, but were opposed by Germany.
Many questions affecting neutrals may
be reviewed with the hope of a reason
able settlement if Great Britain and
America take the initiative."
,The Times, in an editorial emphasizes
Its conclusion that there is no antag
onism between the British and Amer
ican views and it sees no reason why
an agreement should not be concluded.
In one form or another. It argues, the
doctrine of continuous voyagefas de
veloped by England in this war, "lat
terly with the full consent of the
United States," is sure to become a
part of recognized international law.

ages received before midnight last

Attorneys for the company asserted
It has the right to deliver the packages
accepted by it before the law became
operative. The arrest of an employe
of the express company and Carl S.

SIETEEYTH LETTER.
' . BY EDGAR B. PIPER
PARIS, France. Nv. 22. (Editorial
Correspondence.) Nearly 500 years
ago Joan of Arc heard voices from the
air divine, she thought and the world
believed and went forth and wrought
her miracle, saving France for the
French. Now, in the region where she
was born, and where her memory Is
stiy vivid with a rare and unquestion
ing reverence, the American doughboy,
with a mission not less sacred, has done
his full part in saving France for the
French.
The story has it that the voices (va
riously from St. Michael. St. Cather
ine and St. Margaret) told Joan that
the "King of Heaven had summoned
her to restore happiness to France and
to restore King Charles," and that she
was to "arm herself" and "put on men's
clothes," and that she would be "chief
in war."
Somehow she managed to persuade
the King (Dauphin) of the validity of
her Inspiration and she put on her ar
mor and was placed in command of
an army, and went to raise the siege
of Orleans, which by her valor and her
remarkable Instinct for strategy she
achieved. There are skeptics now who
deny the fact of the voices and' the
reality of her high inspiration, but
they do not deny that she gave life to
the fainting heart of France, defeated
the English Invader and .set up Kl;.g
Charles on his throne. The American
soldier, too. has heard the voices of
duty and humanity and justice, and he
has gone to the rescue of an enchained
people of the St. Mihiel region, and he
has delivered them from their captors.
"Mopping I p" Follows 27-Hoor Job.
Such reflections seize the thought
ful traveler who follows the Ameri
can Army over the scenes of his ad
vance through the St. Mihiel salient.
He cannot escape anywhere in this his
toric environment reminders of the
mystic virgin ' who recreated France;
nor can he fail to marvel at the rapid
ity and thoroughness with which the
practical-minded American soldier
shoved along the fleeing German
armies. For four years they had stuck

GtVERSTMENT FRIXTIXG .OF
VICE ERROR IX LIST
CORRECTED.
In today's list are the names
of 303 officers and privates who
apparently were incorrectly re
ported in The Oregonlan Tues
day as having "died of disease."
Although the list printed Tues
day faithfully followed the Gov
ernment copy supplied by the
committee on public Information.
The Oregonlan Is satisfied that
a -grievous error was committed
by the Government and that the
303 who appear in today's list
as "wounded, degree undeter
mined," axe now correctly classi
fied. The copy of the casualty list
that comes to The Oregonlan
from the Government puts cas
ualties under sub-heads indicat
ing their degree? The vital sub
head showing that certain of the
names were . of sthose wounded
was omitted and the last preced
ing sub-head indicated names of
those who had died of disease,
thus grouping two classes under
the one head.. The error was
first revealed by inquiries coming
to The Oregonlan from relatives
of men enlisted aa dead who had
received no official notification
other than that the men had been
' wounded. Inspection of the copy
reveals technical evidences of the
error that would be noticed only
by one searching for them.

An army of 95.000,000 lady bugs Is
being mobilised now for a great offen
sive next Spring against the aphides.
which have invaded the grain fields of
Oregon and Washington, soreadlng de
struction In Hunlike manner.
Announcement of the coming offen
sive was made yesterday by District
Forester Cecil, who will act as the
Foch of the ladybug army. Already
Generalissimo Cecil has concentrated
25.000,000 ladybugs In Winter quarters J
unco, witn excelsior, preparatory to
launching his Spring drive. The re
mainder of the great army of ladybugs.
Mr. Cecil said, now was hibernating
In the mountains of Oregon and Wash
ington. These bugs have been located
by forest rangers and county, state and
-reaeral agricultural agents.
It Is -estimated that each ladybug
will eat 200 aphides daily when the vast
army Is turned loose In the grain fields
or the Northwest, so that. the Spring
offensive ought to witness the ruthless
slaughter of 19.000.00fl.000 aphides.
Last year growers of the two states
lost many thousands or dollars and
much needed wheat. There are plenty
of ladybugs, natural enemies of the
aphid. In Washington and Oregon, but
they were not In sections where they
were most needed. Accordingly, efforts
have been made to locate the ladybugs
In the caches on mountain peaks, where
they hlbernat-s until Spring.
By packing the bugs In excelsior
and keeping tbem moderately cold they
may be preserved successfully until
their normal time of breeding. In the

Already 'Oregon's endeavor In the

Badges of previous causes have been
ousted by thousands to give place to
the 1919 membership emblem of the

Oregon, by the returns of the second
day. had signed the Red Cross roster
with approximately 44,995 names. Of
these. IS. 045 were mustered In the outer-state
districts, while Portland fur
nished 26.950. Both state and city
headquarters direct attention to the
fact that these reports are far from
complete and that the real showing,
could It be presented, would be con
siderably larger.
The outer-state figures, said Cam
paign Manager Wltham. represent par
tial reports from but 13 chapters out of
31, and are for the most part from
towns and cities, with no reports-from
country districts. Tomorrow should

Yesterday's city reports, according to

the field, 21 have thus far made ne
reports of progress to headquarters.
To State Manager Witham and State
Chairman Coman have been directed
many messages from Oregon counties,
evidencing the certainty of success that
prevails wherever the Red Cross stand
ards are lifted.
Campaign Manager C F. Gilbert, of
Hood River, for example, guarantees
100 per cent membership, with his dis

That several precincts have com
pleted their enlistments is the word
from Linn County, sent by Campaign
Manager C H. Burggraf. "Our district
Is billed like a circus." he exulted, "and
It's only a question of time and good
weather."
Complete co-operation reigns in Co
lumbia County, according to Campaign
Manager L. R. Rutherford, who reports
several districts completed. with
bright prospects for speedy emulation
by all the rest.
"We are using several hundred re
turned soldiers, in their uniforms, to
do the soliciting," advises Campaign
Manager George J. Walton, of Klamath
County. "Nothing shall stop us from
being among the first to finish."
Mrs. Elizabeth Folger Dodge, cam

Campaign Manager W. H. Smith, of
