 Strong men became faint and sick at heart and retired early to the secluson of ther homes. The President and the en- tire official family are deeply affected. The President declared today that he had had little hope of seeing his aide again after 1t was known that hundreds had died in the catastrophe. He felt that Archie Butt would he one of the very last to leave the ship.
