With the President.

AS to who is coming with the
President and Mrs. Wilson. It is
generally accepted that the French
Ambassador and Nine. Jusserand are
on the President George Washington.
There is a report that Mrs. John W.
Davis, wife of our ambassador to
Great Britain is on board, though it
would seem at least equally likely
that, if. the Lansings are coming in
couple of weeks. she would wait
and come over with them.
For the Lansings and the Davises
were notably inseparable when they
were all in Washington together.
have seen no statement as to the
Italian Ambassador and Countess di
Cellere, but the latter wrote one of
her particular friends here a fort
night ago that they expected to re-
turn on the George Washington with
the Presidential party, and should
be here early in July, anyhow. Meth
er the French nor the Italian embassy
have any International least not
for publications. to the return OF
theiS respective chiefs They expect
them very soon, now" They do not
know that they are coming with the
President, but it seems very likely
that they may"
Vance Mccormick, and Bernard Ba-
ruch are said to be with the party,
and, according to current reports,
there is "a whole bunch of French
war brides on board" by the grace OF
the President himself. to whom they
made a fearful appeal, when they

ordered home, and no provision had
been made to take them along. In
view of the White House matrimonial
record of this Administration Presi-
dent Wilson could scarcely have fail
ed TO come to the rescue. And Ger
tainly to those young French women
coming to this country in this way
Will be the very crown OF their ro-
nance.
Also Miss Margaret Wilson. who
went over last fall, to sing for the
soldiers, under the banner Of the Y.
II. c. A, is on board.
Ambassador and Mrs. Davis, by the
way, have moved from 80 Berkeley
Square, where they entertained the
Lansings not long ago, and the Amer
lean embassy at London is now loca-
ted at 80 Gresham place Julia Nc
Donald Davis. who is finishing her
course at Wellesley, is to accompany
Mrs. Davis when she returns to Eng
land, and understand that Mrs.
Davis niece. Katherine Lewis Wat
son. OF indianapolis, will also go back
with them to remain indefinitely.
In general the Presidents official
family stayed peacefully at home over
.
packing grips TO go up to New York
to meet their chief on his return.
Secretary Daniels has arranged for
them to go down the bay on the bat
tleship Pennsylvania, the ia SshIp of
the fleet, which will meet the George
Washington and escort her to her
dock. Sounds like a most interesting
excursion doesn't il?
Acting Secretary of State and Mrs.
Polk will presumably join the party
in New York. Mr.. Polk went of last
Wednesday for 4 short vacatiOn-to
~ away about ten days-joininG Mrs.
Polk and their family at their sum-

Park. y. Y. Then they arc going to
Me, where they have a
cottage for the summer. and Mr..
