geSts That Whole Ques-
ton Be Reopened.
ASQUITH NEAR MAKING
A SERIOUS BLUNDER
Present Attitude Makes Secret
glo-German Agreement
Seem More Probable.

London. Dec. 3l.-Efforts are still be-
ing made to induce the British govern
ment To reconsider its boycott of the
Panama Pacific Exposition. The Brit
ish committee docs not intend TO accept
a. final Premier Asquith's recent in
tlmation that the Cabinet would ad-
here TO Sir Edward Grey's announce
ment of last August. Grave disappont-
mcnt at that decision has already been
shown in the Liberal party and press,
and il is significant i'm this connection
that the governments usual mouth
piece. The Westminster Gazette,
should have suggested that the ques
ton may be reopened. II says:
1t has been stated that great many
eminent people are disappointed with
the decision of the government and
the names Of some great business firms
have been cited in this connection. We
hope that the subject will be further
explored. The question might well as
sumo q new aspect il these people
would say definitely if they are pre-
pared TO exhibit on "a substantial scale,
and if between them they could guar

one would like TO give pleasure to the
people of the United States, and all Of
US feel that it would he VexatiOus that

tion, but unless we know for certain
that private enterprise will come in to
make the exhibit a success the appear
ance Of the government on the scene
would not save US from criticism and
dissatisfaction when the time came"
II was precisely with the object Of
giving Premier Asquith this evidence
that the British committee asked him
10 receive deputation, but he de-
oiined to do so The British committee
is still anxious to put its evidence
before the government.

WILSON REFUSES TO GIVE
CLERKS HOLIDAY JULY 5

WASHINGTON. D. C. June e
Half-masted aags over the govern
ment buildings were not necessary to-
day to symbolic the gloom that set
tied over the several thousand gov
eminent clerks and employees when
il was learned that President Wilson
had declined to grant them a full
holiday July 8. Petitions had been
filed with the President setting forth
that as July was a holiday and
the following day. Saturday In
augurating the Saturday half-hollday
summer schedule. Il would be appre-
ciated II the chief executive would
make Saturday a complete holiday,
thereby giving the clerks three full
days in which to enjoy a vacation.
The Presidents deelination was due
TO the fact that he did not care to
establish a precedent
