Tho Treasury Department contcm-
plates establishing n precedent in the
method of paying President Wilson.
Since the days of Washington, the
president has been paid BY what Is
known as an accountable warrant
which means money to be accounted
for. A settlement warrant" which
closes an account has been given the
President only on his last pay day
when his services are debited on the
books against the credits which have
been made to him during his term Of
office. Mr.. Wilson. however. probably
will be given a settlement warrant
each month, and his salary account
with the government balanced monthly
as his term transpires. No one to-
day knows why the President Away S
h7s bccc paid BY an "s.rcorT;StIt, Wx.2.

Washington society under the Wilson
administration is the question agitat
ing the national capital preparation,
to the welcome breakfast To Mrs
Wilson and the women or the of1icia
family on April 8.
The noted breakfast bids fair TO b.
a Veritable mares nest because tn
limited number OF guests makes IT din
cult TO select the list, and no matte
who is invited some are bound to b.
left out who will consider themselve
,, aGGrievcd.
One cause OF grievance appears L
be that all the Democratic congress
sional and other Democratic womel
have not been able TO secure seats
; and many Of them arc objectins to tn
presence of women of other politica
faiths while they are left out.
Miss Katharine NJ. Dabney. foundc
of the Womcn's Democratic League
has stated that she considers such
social event during national calamit.
as not proper, and ii is said this view
is shared by some other Democrat
women OF prominence.
