Weeks. which is his White mountain
playground.
The President explained that he
had come to New Hampshire for the
sole purpose OF playing. and while
he said that America had many Sc
rious problems, she can solve them
better IL a little play is mixed with
much work.
Mount Prospect, the temporary sum
mer White House, is built at the top of
one of the smaller mountains, survey
ing the Franconia and Presidential
ranges of the White mountains four
miles from the public thoroughfare and
the same distance from telephone.
Unlike some of the Presidents 9th er
vacations, this Is an outing de luxe.
Although the gate to the Weeks estate,
which is locked, by the way, Is hardly
more than the ordinary gate Of a pros
porous farmer and il adorned by the
usual tin mail box with the name
John w. Weeks" painted upon II in
huge black letters, the entrance TO the
estate is belying.
Vast Wealth Reflected.
The remainder OF the domain is the
very evident property of a wealthy
man. from the $4,000 road leading to
the home and the valuable blooded cat
tie grazing on the mountainside, to the
wonderful lodge which tops the noun
tain summit.
Amid such surroundings the ma
tons Chief Executive seeks today
only rest and play. He is slightly
tired from his long mountainous
journey of yesterday and his late
afternoon game of golf at Craw-
ford Notch.
The President was the most fortu-
nate of the motoring party for he
was the only one who was not
forced to change cars because of
breakdowns in the long uphill pvll.
One party of press association cor
respondents were forced 20 do a bit
of mountain climbing when their car
broke down, and they trailed into
Crawford Notch far in the rear Of
the President.
To Shun Routine.
The President does not wish to
lay down a. hard and fast program
for each day that would be too
much like White House routine. He
will rest, play golf or motor as the
spirit moves him, but he expects to
play golf some time during the day
over the mountain view course at
White Field.
Mrs. Harding is resting at the
mountain estate, and under the advice
OF her physician will remain most OF
the time at the lodge enjoying the
cool, clear weather and the relaxa.
ton from the White House duties.
In the absence of Mrs. Weeks, who
Is in Europe, Mrs. John w. Davidge.
daughter of Secretary Weeks. is
acting as hostess to the Presidential
party, which includes Senator and
Mrs. Frelinghuysen OF New Jersey,
Senator Phipps Of Colorado, Senator
Hale of Maine, Secretary Christian,
and some friends of Secretary Weeks.

cause the life of the nation depended
upon her sea strength.
Asquith's speech was generally re-
garded as an answer to Premier
Lloyd George. He based his plea for
curtailment of sea ornaments upon
the need for financial retrench.
ment to cut down the heavy tax
burden of the nation.
The parliamentary fight this after,
noon conferred about the proposal
for the immediate construction OF
