WILSON TO BE HIS
OWN PRESS AGENT
President Decides to Re-
new Weekly Conferences
with Newspaper Men.
lFrom The Tribune Bureau ]


Washington, July 16.-After lapse
of more than year President Wilson
is to resume his weekly conferences
with newspaper men at the White
House. Now that he is a candidate for
reelection, he has decided TO take the
public again into his confidence on the
policies OF his Administration. How
far he will succeed in turning the
White House into the publicity bureau
maintained by some of his predecessors
is a question that is interesting many
Democratic politicians.
When the Mexican crisis first be-
came grave. more than two years ago.
on the plea of the delicacy of the situa-
ton President Wilson barred all ques-
tions concerning it from the con-
ference. Then questions on the ship
nurehase bill were ruled out, as was all
reference to the controversy with Ger
many. Finally. when the Lusitanla was
sunk, the conference was given up
Since then the President has never
seen the newspaper men.
The move was felt TO be mistake by
many of the Presidents political ad-
visers. They pointed out that while
the Administration remained silent its
opponents never did, and seized every
opportunity to misconstrue things De-
for the public.
Many times during the German
crisis the President was particularly
embarrassed by the press agents O
the Teutonic powers, but, except ior
occasional public condemnations, nc
.d;d not undertake to counteract them
So long as he was confident that he
was right. the Presidents friends de-
oloro no never troubled to convince
other people of his course. He shranK'
even at the expense of much personal
ronularitv which he would have liked
from performing mis- duties in the full
glare of publicity. lie dIsliked even
more using the press for propaganda
nurposes or as a weapon against Con-
cress in the struggle over legislation.
But with Vance Mccormick, Robert
Woolev and other newspaper men
d;roctinp the Democratic campaign, the
President has been brought 10 realize
the Importance Of publicity.
The resumption of conferences is the
result.

KING OF GREECE
TAINTED AT FIRE
Rescued by Soldiers when
Flames DESTROYED Summer Home

kthens, July 16.-King Constantine
had a narrow escape from death in the
fire which destroyed the royal summer
residence at Tatoi last week. Inc
King was trapped by the flames and
tainted, but ie was rescued by soldiers
and removed from the danger zone.
The fire in the forest around the
chateau is apparently under control,
although it is still burning on the
slopes of the Parnes Mountains, which
are covered with oaks and pines.
Thirty-two persons already have lost
their lives IN the fire, of whom twenty
eight were members of the Royal
Guards. II is feared there is little hope
of rescuing the chateau's commandant
ard twenty soldiers under his COM
mand.
The police are convinced the fire was
started by accident.

7 HUGE SHARKS
CAUGHT In BAY
Each Eight Feet One Inch
Long-Schools Seen in
Ambrose Channel.

Two great blue sharks, each measur-
ing eight feet one inch and weighing
more than $50 pounds. were caught off
Staten Island yesterday. Both were
captured by W. H. Kinlock, Of New
Brighton, and landed at Oakwood, two
miles south OF New Dorp.
Fishermen arriving later at Staten
Island said they had seen huge schools
Of blue sharks, many Of them from
twelve to fifteen feet long. swimming
in New York Bay and Ambrose Channel.
Kinlock. with his two sons, made two
trips, one in the morning and one in
the afternon. A shark was caught on
each trip. He used steak as bait and
fshed with large two-barbed hook
attached to a small rope 1t took an
hour or more to land each shark.
Hundreds of persons focked 10 Oak
wood when the news of the catch
spread. The two monsters were cut
open and their teeth taken as souve-
Mrs. Nothing was found in the
stomachs of the sharks but small fish.
Although no sharks have been seen
near Coney Island or Brighton Beach,
several proprietors IF bathing pavil-
ions took extra precautions yesterday.
At the Manhattan Beach Baths wire
nettings were sunk far out beyond the
breakers. They were considered suf-
fciently strong to prevent the heaviest
fish from breaking through.
Lifesavers at Coney Island went out
further than usual to patrol the outer
edge of the breakers. Many of them
carried spikes, eel forks and similar
weapons. 1t was thought that if they
could not wound a shark, should they
happen to see one, they could at least
warn the bathers.
The bathers, however, seemed TO en-
tertain no fear of maneaters. Thou
sands bathed at Coney Island, and at
South Beach, Manhattan Beach and
other places along the shore the num-
bers in the surf were in no wise dimin-
ished.

u. S. AMBULANCE
AT NEUILLY SPLIT
Lopp's Activities Cause
Separation of Field
Section.
By FRED B. PITNEY.
rBy Cable 10 The Tribune

Paris, July 16.-The long expected
snlit in the American Ambulance at
Neuilly has come. The field section,
under A. Piatt Andrew. has broken
away from Neuilly and established
itself in separate quarters, with sep
arate repair shops, parks and Offices.
II even has its treasurer and its funds
unconnected with those Of the Neu-
lily Ambulance.
Official announcement Of the separs-
tion has just been made. For long
time there had been extremely un-
pleasant conditions in the hospital, ow-
ing to the way in which George Wash
ington Lopp had been allowed by
Laurence V. Benet, chairman of tn"
executive committee, to dominate the
hospital affairs. After Lopp hac
beaten his wife and stepdaughter, and
after his wife had sued him for di-
vorce Andrews friends urged him 70
take the field section away from the
hospital
Opportunity for this action came
when Lopp and Benet were forced of
the transportation committee of the
hospital, after the arrival on this side
of Mrs. William X. Vanderbilt. The
transportation committee being thus
disrupted, Andrew took the field sec
ton away from the hospital before any
new means OF control could be organ
lied.
In the last year the field section had
grown from three groups OF twelve
cars each to eight groups of twenty
five cars each, and had always formed
the most attractive part of the hos
pital, serving as the chief means Of
recruiting members in America nd Sc
curing funds. Without il Benet and
Lopp are shorn of the chief part Of
their glory as head and soi-disant head
of the hospital. Instructions also have
been given 70 Lopp not to give in
future any orders in the hospital.

BY ERNESTINE EVANS.

Mr.. Hughes had gone TO town.
Bridgehampton was as drowsy and
as empty of reasons for a place on the
map as a village in Arkansas. The
driver from the station didn't see and
the butler didn't see why any one had
come TO the sober and dull red house
where the Hughes family choose TO
spend the summer Of their campaign

The butler granted that an appoint
ment was an appointment, and set me

sleepy hour.
Then Mrs. Hughes came down. She
wished to seem glad, but she was not
glad. She extended an aristocratic
hand. She was making a formal well

unteered for service with a Canadian
contingent in the European war and
