PRESIDENT REVIEWS YANKEES
By ROBERT J. BENDER
(United Press Staff Correspondent.)
CHAUMONT, Dec. 25.-President Wilson spent Christmas in the heart of America's military organization in France. For the first time an American executive assumes the actual role of commander-in-chief of the United States army in foreign territory. 
After passing through the field of the Marne battle of 1914 and 1918, on a special rain, during the night the President arrives at American headquarters here early today. 
As he stepped from the train, French and American guards of honor snapped to attention, and an American band played "The Star-Spangled Banner."

GREETED BY PERSHING. 

Among those who greeted him at the station were General Pershing, General Wercel, French commander in this zone: the mayor and the prefect of police. 
The President and his party were driven in automobiles through the quaint streets to the Hotel de Ville. He was given a rousing welcome by dough-boys, Poilus and civilians as he passed through the beflagged streets.

TONGMAN SLAIN IN GRANT AVE. 
      _______

Yee Lip Chuck, a Sen Suay Ying tong man, is dead today, and Him Yee, gunman of the Yip Shing tong, who shot him last night, is in the City Prision, charged with murder. 
The shooting took place at Grant avenue and Clay street in the presence of several hundred Christmas shoppers, who crowded the narrow thoroughfares. 
With the first sound of the revolver shots, five of which were fired before Yee Lip Chuck dropped dead with a bullet through his heart, men, women and children scurried to safety, seeking shelter in doorways and behind standing automobiles. 
Witnesses said Chuck was walking along Grant avenue when Yee stepped from a doorway, and without a word, opened fire. 
Two of the five shots took effect and Chuck fell to the sidewalk, dying almost immediately. 
FLIGHT UP GRANT AVENUE. 
As he fired the last shot Yee ran up Grant avenue to Washington street, closely pursued by Everett Dana, member of the United States naval guard, 
Dana's shouts to Yee to stop were heard by Policemen Hexstrom and Glover, who joined in the chase, firing a fusillade of shots and causing a further scattering of holiday shoppers. Yee, meanwhile, had cut across Washington alley and was rapidly distancing his pursuers when intercepted by Policeman Fred Norman at Washington alley and Jackson street. Yee was recognized as one of the men arrested following the [?]. 

DANIELS TO REVIEW EUROPEAN SQUADRON
(By United Press.)
WASHINGTON, Dec. 25.-Tomorrow part of the fleet that helped keep the seas safe will pass in grand review at New York. Secretary of the Navy Daniels was to leave here today to participate in it. With him will be Chief of Staff March. Before leaving, Secretary Daniels declared the ships come back as victors. "In welcoming home the powerful dreadnaughts," he said, "the American people will greet the officers and men with pride and congratulations. These powerful ships, the equal of any in the world, in co-operation with the powerful British fleet, gave such predominance of sea power in the North Sea that the German fleet dared not invite suicide by coming out and offering battle."
