vately in White House on
Sunday, March 4

Washington, Feb. 8.-While no de-
cision has been reached officially, there
is q strong sentiment in high quarters
favoring the abandonment Of the pub
lie inauguration ceremonies on March
s. The plan is simply to have the
President take the oath of office IN the
White House on Sunday, March 4. The
Army and Navy reception at the White
House probably will be abandoned.
IL is felt that the President, facing q
great international crisis, should not
be called upon to participate in any

Washington. Feb. 3.-The navy will
furnish conveys for all American
vessels sailing for the war zone. Until
arrangements for such conveys have
been completed the government will
discourage American shipmasters from
sailing for European ports.

tion was furnished by the naval forces
Although conveying a merchantmen

pretending that tho commencement OF

risk than to take the far greater rlsk
Of having the vessels sunk because un-
protected.
Convoying a merchantmen, under IN
ternational law, gives that snip the
status of a war vessel OF the same ma
tionalit- as the convoy. An American
merchantman conveyed by an Ameri-
can destroyer, therefore, would have
the status of an American warship. A
German submarine attack on vessel
so conveyed would be equivalent to an
attack on an American warship.
To Protect All Traders

as a breach Of neutrality. But as the

In Boys Role

Pretty little Vivian Martin plays
the stellar role in Her Fathers
Son." which will be the new pic
ture attraction at the Colonial to-
morrow. She appears as Frances

the time she masquerades as a
boy, and then again appears as
her own girlish self.
The picture has been staged
with the well-known Morosco
fidelity to artistic detail, and a
clever cast is seen in support of
Miss Martin. Alfred Vosburgh,
Herbert Standing and Lucille
Ward have important roles.
