WILSON IS TO
PRACTICE
Will Enter Partnership With
cambridge Colby, Former
Secretary of State.
(ey The Associated Press). .

WASHINGTON, March 3.-Wfth a
brief announcement that he will re-
sumo the practice of law President
Wilson today gave the first indication
of what he intends to do after leav-
ing the white house.
Wholly unexpected and quite un-
known to the presidents closest
friends, it was officially announced at
the white house offices that Mr.. Will
son would enter a partnership with
cambridge Colby, the retiring seCre-
tary of state, of New York and that
the new firm would establish offices
in New York and Washington.
No information of the character of
practice Wilson and Colby win under
take was made available and all ques-
tions We're met with the reply that the
official announcement contained all
there was to be said. Secretary Colby
refused to discuss the subject at all.
The general assumption in Wash
ington is that Mr.. Wilson and Mr..
Colby will engage largely in the prac-
tice of international law, a field to
which the world war and its after
maths promise to contribute largely
during the next so years. Some Of
the presidents friends think that
through his activities in law practice
he may. find some way to continue his
work for world peace, but they do not
know lust how he would do so.

fore he thought of college professor
