reception Saturday evening in the lobby
of hotel at Hot Springs where be and
Mrs. Wilson are spending their honey

fore a fireplace near the hotel entrance.
Mr. Wilson greeted each cordially, and

blue lace sleeves and high collar. At
the tea, Mrs. Wilson officiated at small
table set apart for her and her husband.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson took a long mo-
tor ride and three mile walk Saturday
after rainstorm had driven them from
the golf links. They motored to Warm
Springs, Va, and returned by circuit
GUS route, alighting at Healing Springs
three miles away, and walking the re-
mainder of the distance. They walked
leisurely, stopping several times to talk
with children who trooped out TO meet
them.
Information regarding the situation
with Austria was forwarded to the pres
ident by Secretary Lansing Saturday,
but its nature was not disclosed. Mr..
Wilson would not comment on the pos
sible effect of the sinking OF the liner
Persia, saying he could not form any
opinion until he had more complete in
formation.
Many messages of New Years greet
ing came to the president, several Of

speech at the banquet of the New York

he is reported to have said:
America has been reluctant to match
her wits with the rest of the world. When

most incredible to remember that only
yesterday they were afraid to put their
wits into free competition with the world!

there comes a doubt whether it was in.

as an eloquent, intellectual frieze to EN-.

NEW MONEY COMING
Coins Will be Minted After Iuly l---First Time Since 1891 Change Has Been
 Made in Pieces

Washington, May 30. Dimes, quarters and half dollars of new design will be minted after July 1, Secretary McAdoo announced today. For the first tune since 1891, a change will be effected in these pieces.
 The announcement disclosed that the half dollar has fallen practically into disuse. The new design was selected with the hope of restoring it to more general circulation.
 The half dollar and dime models were made by AdolpH A. Weinman and the quarter dollars by Herman A. MacNeill. Both are sculptors of note.
 The face of the new half dollar bears a full length figure of Liberty with a background of the American flag flying to the breeze. The goddess is stridlng towards the dawn of a new day, carrying laurel and oak branches, symbolic of civil and military glory. The reverse side shows an eagle perched high upon mountain crag, wings un- folded. Growing from a rift in the rock is sapling of mountain pine, symbolic of America.
 DESIGN OF 25-CENT PIECE /
 The design of the 25-cent pic ce is intended to typify the awakening of the country to it's own protection, Secretary Me- Adoo's statement said. Liberty, a full length picture, is shown stepping toward the country's gateway bearing upraised a shield from which the covering is being drawn. The right hand bears an olive branch of peace. Above the head is the word Liberty and below the feet '1916.' The reverse side bears a figure of an eagle in full flight wings extended and the inscrip- ton United States of America and E Pluribus Unum. !"
 Both the half dollar and the quarter bears the phrases Tn God We Trust. /"
 The design of the dime IS simple. Liberty, with a winged cap, is shown on the foreside and on the reverse side is design of bundle of rods and battleI axe, symbolic of unity.
