Wilson Sets Record
For Method and System
in White House Affairs
CBy Associated Press,

washington, March 5.--Oldest at
taches of the White House regard
President Wilson as the most methodi-
cal systematic, time saving CHIEF
executive within their memories.
From the very first Of his admins
tration, the Mexican difficulties and
the European war have added i'm
measurably to the duties OF the presi-
dent, but he has managed to maintain
q strict schedule for his working
hours; he never has been Known
through personal fault to be late with
an engagement and has religiously
conserved his time.
"A White House caller booked for a
Ave minute interview with many a
president often got an hour. If one
arranges q five minute interview with
Mr.. Wilson, one gets exactly five
minutes-no more-and the way Is
cleared for the next caller.
Although during his first adminis-
tration the president took no real
vacation, he managed to maintain a
regular program of physical recreation
necessary to conserve his health. He
never has been out of touch with the
nations business. When at the sum-
mer White House at Cornish, N. H., or
Long Beach, N. j., staff of secre-
taries was close at hand. All during
his urSC term the pf6SlQSnJ was not
away from the White House more
than two weeks at time on trips
travelling about the country and he
never has gone further west than
Topeka, Kansas.
; Friends Of Mr.. Wilson say he dis
likes the idea of going into the coun-
try, but enjoys himself when he does
90.
Many word pictures of the president
at work and at play have been written,
but those closest to him say that his
every day life Is a natural one for a
man who never has been wealthy and
has grown up In an atmosphere of
regularity ana natural living.

PAPER
DEPLORES
THEPLOT
(Ry Associated Press.l


Berlin, March 4, via London, March
5.-While some of the German news
papers have received the news Of the
German Mexican intrigue with com'
parative indifference others have
vigorously denounced the. policy OF
Foreign Secretary Zimmerman and
among these latter is The Tages Zei-
tung. Count Won Reventlow, former
ly one OF the most ardent advocates oi
unrestricted submarine warfare and q
geneIal supporter of extreme meas
ures, writes in The Tages Zeitung:
"As result of the publication OF
the German offer to Mexico sentiment
which has hithertofore been divided in
America is now solidly behind the
president. The circumstance or its
possible results are hardly calculated
to fiji us with pessimism. However
those circles who have been basing
hope for the preservation of peace on
divided public opinion in the United
States are now forced to deplore the
turn things have taken and to doubt
which. so far as Mexico is concerned
may be stigmatized as bringing a
lighted match in contact with pow
der cask.
Viewed from this angle, the offer
to Mexico is wholly incomprehensible
in view of the Mexican conditions and
the further fact thatea an allied Mexi-
CO held out no more promise than the
one which would have exploited auto
matically a German-American war.
The offer Of such an alliance would
seem to rest largely upon a lack of
intimate acquaintance with Mexican
affairs and American relations. Those
desiring policy permitting a return
OF the United States to normal rela-
tions after the war cannot help but
deplore the German alliance plan
from this viewpoint alone. Mexico is
q frontier neighbor of the United
States and the German offer will not
be forgotten so soon. 1t is to be deep
ly deplored that the chancellor and
foreign secretary neglected to seize
the opportunity yesterday to express
themselves concerning this episode
and their political policies"
In opposition to The Tages Zeitung,
The Lokal Anzeiger strongly supports
the policy of Secretary Zimmerman.
The Anzeiger says:
Americans have not the slightest
reason to be provoked at our inten-
tions. without treachery which brought
the German offer to the knowledge Of
the United States government, the
Mexican government would not have
learned of 1t until after the United
States had declared war on us. 1t is
well known that President Wilson at
tempted to incite not only one but
every neutral state to break off diplo-
matte relations with us"

Inaugural Parade Was
Remarkable Patriotic
Demonstration--3O,O 900
Enthusiastic Marchers
CBy Associated Press.)

Washington, March 5.-The in
augural parade today was more than
a mere procession as part of the GER
emonies; 1t was a patriotic demon
stration.
AS the marching host Of some 10000
tramped from the capitol to the White
House before thousands of Americans
the martial music and unmistakable
note of national patriotism recalled to
many the days Of more than 80 years
ago when the federal armies marched
in review over the same route.
The nations fighting men. men who
have fought the nations wars and
men who will be called to fight them
in the future-alI were represented in
the long line. Resplendent in gold and
blue and grey, they marched in review

| Mr.. Wilson does many things per-
sonally that could easily be done FOL
him by others. Frequently he walks
from the executive offices to the White
House to get book or letter when he
could more easily press a button and
have someone bring 1t to him. His
liking for directness OF action explains
why on more than one occasion he has
walked to different government de-
stead of summoning them to the White
House. He has never allowed prec-
edent to interfere with the course he
thought the most direct.
The time the presidents working
day begins depends upon the season
Of the year. Ordinarily. in winter he
gets up between and 1850 o'clock
but In summer he usually arises
earlier ometimes at or $3.50 o'clock
He believes in daylight saving when
ever possible.
When he first came to the White
House he attended to most of his off,
cial work in the morning. and played
golf in the afternoon. but this winter,
he reversed his program. and played
golf in the warm morning hours, and
worked in the afternoon. He goes
golf1ng either with Mrs. Wilson or DR..
Grayson soon after breakfast, and
works on his mail from noon to /
o'clock. In the afternoon he sees cali
ers and signs official papers, except on
Tuesdays and Fridays. when the cabi-
net meets. Ordinarily an hour on
Monday, Wednesday and Thursday
afternoons is set aside for the recep-
tion Of members of congress.
After dinner generally about z
o'clock. the president does no work
unless ii is absolutely necessary. He
either reads. plays billiards, or goes to
a theatre. Detective stories. poems,
and autobiographies are his favorite

No Turning Back From New
Responsibilities OF America
Mighty Crowd Sings
America" as Wilson
Appears Before Them

Washington. March 5.-As the
president advanced TO the rostrum
someone in the crowd began sing
ing America. The strains were
taken up in mighty chorus.
The president with barred head,
smiled at the demonstration and
cheers swept over the crowd as he
faced them. The crowd cheered
as the president came from the
throns while waiting for him TO
take the oath, "Hurrah for Wood
row Wilson," was repeatedly
shouted. The Apresident and also
Mrs. Wilson smiiinaly aeknow-
lodged the pIaudits Of the multi
tude. The president took the oath
and shook hands Immediately with
the chief justice and the vice
president.

address while the crowd leaned
forward, but the high wind made

Of them began TO leave.

Mandamus proceedings were brought
by Pronovost and Cossette against
Brunette, and Pollock decided for the
plaintiffs. Brunette then appealed.
The supreme court holds that the
public schools of North Dakota are
under control Of the legislature and
the respective school boards have no
other powers than those which the
statutes confer uopn them.
"The legislative policy in North Da-
kota," says the court. "is that the pub
lie school in the common districts Of
the state shall be maintained in build
ings owned by the public. Where the
common school district already owns a
school building which is adequate to
the needs of the district, and there are
not nine children residing two and
one-hah miles therefrom 20 that ad-
ditional accommodation il needed for
such persons, 1t has no authority or
power to lease another building and to
remove the school thereto"
A. T. Cole was the attorney for
Brunette and Fowler g. Green for
Pronovost and Cossette. Judge Bruce
wrote the opinion.

Red, White and Blue
Only Color Scheme in
Great Inaugural Event

Washington, March 5.-The red,
white and blue displaced all other
colors in the scheme Of decorations
for President Wilson's inaugural. The
green and white, and the mixture of
gay colors of other years were entire
ly. submerged in the display of ma
tional colors.
From every stand they fluttered,
from every public building. The folds
of the flag rippled from the crowded
stands along the line of march as IL in
answer to the salute of the same
colors borne by the marchers. The flag
swung or dropped from balcony, win
dow, and housetop. 1t fiuttered in the
hands of cheering spectators. 1t hung
suspended in stately dignity at thou
sands Of homes. On the line Of march
and OFF the line Of march, everywhere,
the city displayed the flag.

The first German spy to be shot In
England during the present war was

For two or more years, Lody, pos.
