against him. He said there had been
Winnetka about the Presidents be-
thothal. In one, all the clerks were
talking about the affair, and several
had expressed opinions.
Burkitt said that later a man came
IN and remarked that the President
was going to be married. and added
Didn't wait long did he?" Burkitt
said he replied: Hardly a year. or
something Of the kind, adding: 1t
seems TO me that a man ought TO wait
al least a year before marrying,
and l don't see why the President
should he any exception"
Burkitt said that in both instances
he made the remarks casually and
meant no disvespect to the President.
The only person who overheard the

He is inclined 10 believe, he says. that
AR Wilson would press for settlement
with Great Britain as rapidly as possible
because this was in accord with Amer4-

Dr.. Dernburg cites as measures
available against England the refusal

that At the time he did not know that
