ments were completed today for Presi-
dent Wilson's return to Washington
early next week. Members of his fam

her summer home in Maine
After an early round of golf with
DR.. Cary T. Grayson. the President re-
tired to his study at Harlakenden
House. prepared to spend several hours
working on official business from
Washington. He expected to communi-
cate later with Secretary Lansing re-
garding the German situation. in Or
der further to develop his plans.
Long Stay Anticipated.
President Wilson will keep bachelor
quarters at the White House after his
return from Cornish early next week.
No members of his family will return
with him, Miss Margaret Wilson and
Miss Bones remaining at the summer
White House. With President Wilson
as companions will be Secretary Tum-
ulty, whose family tomorrow leaves for
Avon, N. j., for the summer, and DR..
Cary Grayson, the Presidents physi-
clan.
It is not known at the White House
how long the President will stay in
Washington, but it is expected that
he will not get back to Cornish for
some time and in anticipation of a
long stay here a number of the White
House servants have been called back
to duty. The servant force is divided
between Cornish and the White House,
but since the President has been away
a number of those serving here have
been on vacation.
A number of repairs have been made
inside the White House and Swinter
furnishings have been replaced by
summer ones.
Thorough Safety Precautions.
Thorough precautions for the protec-
ton of the President and the White
House have been made In advance, al
though police and secret service
officials are pleased that during the
bomb outrages and the attack upon Mr..
Morgan no threats against the Presi-
dent or White House have been made,
SO far as can be ascertained.
An innovation in the main White
House is the stabIishment of a check
ing Office for all bundles. parcels,
cameras, umbrellas, etc, which the
thousands OF NlSltOFS edcn DAY insist
upon taking to the building with them.
Wilson jackson. a colored messenger,
has been installed at the door entering
the basement of the main building, and
all visitors are required to turn over
various bundles and bulky articles to
him. receiving check therefor. An
officer in civilian clothes is handy in
the event that an unruly visitor would
decline to surrender his package dur
ing his visit inside the building.
Closer Watch on Strangers.
No changes have been made in the rules
regarding the admission Of visitors. The
basement. containing the exhibits of
chinaware Of past administrations. oil
paintings Of mistresses Of the White
House and other things of interest; the
big east room and its historical furnish
,ngs. with its beautiful view Of the rear
grounds of the Presidents home, are open
TO the public without restriction except
that Of the checking Of valuables, but
officers are keeping a closer watch on
strangers than at any other time in the
history of the building.
The private parlors, state dining rooms
and private portions of the main floor are
not open except by special card from
Secretary Tumulty. whose subordinates
are careful and issue few passes.
