dent Wilson did not make known un-
til after he arrived at the capitol that
he would not attend the Inauguration

dent Coolidge. After he reached his
room at the capitol he requested that

be invited to see him. He told them
that because of the steps leading into
the chamber he did not think he could
attend the ceremonies there
Mr. Harding extended his hand and
said: "Good-bye Mr.. President,
know you are glad to be relieved of
your burdens and worries. l want to
tell you how much | have appreciated
the courtesies you have extended to
me-"
The president then left his room &C
companieG by Mrs. Wilson, Rear Ad-
miral Grayson, his personal physician
and Joseph P. Tumulty. his secretary.
He went to the ground floor in an
elevator and then walked about 300
yards to the exit at the east entrance.
He hesitated once during the walk.

Admiral Grayson who accompanied
him from the capitol addressed him as
"Mr. President"

WASHINGTON. March 4,-Woodrow
Wilson leaves the White House today
to resume the role of a private citizen
and again take up the practice of law
"a profession in which he has not
been active for forty years. With
Bainbridge Colby, the retiring secre-
tary Of state, the retiring president has
formed partnership and the new firm
will maintain Offices ill New York and
Washington.
Mr.. Wilson'S announcement that he
would take up law again, came as a
surprise to all Washington which had
been led to believe that for the next
few months at least he would go in
for a life of recreation and rest and
then probably pursue in some unan'
rounced way, his work for world
peace. 1t was thought. too, that the
outgoing President would take up the
business of literature where he left OFF
when he quit the presidency of Prince
ton university to enter politics and
become governor OF New Jersey.
Frail in health with his body racked
by IS months of illness it had been
supposed by Mr.. Wilson's closest
friends that he planned nothing else
than rest But, Rear Admiral Grayson
his personal physician, says he is able
TO take up legal work and .could even
possibly appear occasionally before the
supreme court of the United States, to
which the retiring president soon will
make application for admission to
practice.

LONDON IS AWAITING
INAUGURAL ADDRESS
(By Associated Press)

LONDON, March 4-Dispatches
from the United States have given
London newspapers little basis for
editorial comment relative to the new
administrations prospective foreign
policy, and London Journals have as
sumed waiting policy until Senator
Harding makes his inaugural address.
A New York dispatch to the London
Times declares it is understood MI
Harding will follow generally the pol
icy of Senator Henry Cabot Lodge,
which is declared to contemplate sep
aration from Europe, no permanent
military alliances and no economic
commitments that might endanger the
sovereignty of the United States. At
the same time the dispatch declares
Mr.. Harding is said to have taken the
attitude that the United States will be
ready at all times to give her assist
ance when she thinks it advisable and
fitting to do so.

PAPERS SHOW
UNEASINESS; Want
HERRICK AS ENVOY
(By Associated Press)

PARIS, March 4.-Underlying edi-
torial comment upon the inauguration
of a new president of the United
States in this mornings newspapers
there was a certain amount of uneasi-
ness as to the effect of Mr.. Harding's
policy on the European situation. The
Inauguration of Mr.. Harding was Civ
en- much attention, but he was more
or less of an unknown quantity to
most of the editors.
The Journal declared it had conf
dence in the uprightness and broad
political sense of Mr.. Harding to re-
pair as far as possible the conse-
nuences of Mr.. Wilson's mistakes.
The appointment of Charles E. Hughes
as secretary of state was considered
by the newspaper as an evidence OF
good will to France and hope was ex-
pressed that Myron T. Herrick. would
be appointed ambassador to France.

however, that any obstruction would
not have regrettable consequences for

will help on that resolution which will
bear the United States toward the
economic conquest of the pacific and
the union of the two Americas"
The Cablegramme. new daily rep

duce them only at the exact minute
when they will have the greatest

WAY AROUND
GERMAN GULF
Vague Hints Say Discussions
Going on to Surmount Diff
culties Arising from Repara-
tions Problem.
AWAIT THE next STEP
CBv Associated Press)

LONDON March 4-Vague hints
that discussions were going on be-
tween the allies regarding the posi-
bility of bridging the gulf between
them and the Germans were heard
here. Nothing tangible, however. de-
delegation told newspaper men they
had heard nothing from Berlin rela-
tive to the address made yesterday
by Premier Lloyd George in present
ing an ultimatHh to DR.. Walter ST.
mons.
Todays' newspapers engaged in
speculation regarding the extent of
the allied military measures to be
adopted if the Germans failed to meet
the terms laid down by the supreme
council in Paris.
The Daily Mirror claimed to have
information that the British war Of
flee was ready to place division of
infantry at the disposal of Marshal
Foch, and the newspaper said it was
understood that the British would oc-
cupy Duesseldorf. Andrew Bonar
Law remarked in the house of COM
mons recently, that the number of
British troops on the Rhine numbered
, 12,9O9
Foeh's Opinion Quoted.
Marshal Foch, it was declared by
! the London Times, believes the allies
sufficiently strong in occupied dis
tricts of Germany to hold Duisburg,
Ruhrort and Dusseldorf. if necessary.
A dispatch from Brussels said a bat
! terry of artillery had been dispatched
to German territory by Belgian troops.
The speech of Mr.. Lloyd George to
| the German delegation yesterday drew
! high praise today, even from anti-gov-
ernment organs. The majority of this
mornings newspapers professed little
expectation that the German govern
ment would yield
