the Atlantic fleet the first of next week.
The Presidents mind. according to
his friends, has been eased immeasur-
ably with the dispatch of the note to
Germany, If for no other reason By the
fact that the strain of preparation of
that document had been ended and the
responsibility for the next move In this
crisis placed on other shoulders rather
than the Presidents own.
The easing of the tension was espe-
ciaily apparent at the Cabinet meeting
this morning. The President and his
official advisers no longer were weight
ed down with the responsibilities of
formulating decision ON tire points
at issue.
The President had no engagements In
the afternoon and saw no visitors.
Moved by Coantry-Wide support.
During the day the President exam
ined with great deal of interest a
large batch of kilograms conveying edi-
torial comment on the note from news
papers In every section of the country.
The President was deeply moved by the
apparent urnnimity of approval which
had been given his note. and he ex-
pressed the same gratffca ton to his
friends at the tenor Of the many tele-
grams which poured into the white
House.
With the President on the Maytiower
when the yacht cleared from the navy
yard here at 10 o'clock were his sister.
Mrs. Howe; his niece. Mrs. Cochran,

ran: DR. Cary Grayson, the white
House physician. and his private secre-
tary. Mr.. Tumulty. No stenographers
