WILSON WILL CUT NO FIGURE
Harding May Call at White House on
Evening OF March Third, Merely
to Pay his Respects.

St Augustine, Fla.--While the cabi.
net awaits his final decision, Presi'
dent.elect Harding has determined up
on the details of the inauguration AT
Washington on March 4 The custo-
mary ride Of the president and presl'
dent.eect will be dispensed with Mr.,
Harding will go to the capital just in
time to be sworn in at noon, President
Wilson will have gone there some
time earlier in the day to sign the
bills of the dying congress and thus
to make them into law.
1t would seem from present indica-
tions that the outgoing President OF
the United States will cut less of a
figure in the inauguration of his sue.
cessor than ever before in the history
of the United States. This is not due
to any design on the part of Senator
Harding but. inasmuch as virtually
all OF the inaugural customs are TO
go by the boards this year, II would
seem that President Wilson, after he
signs bills in the marble room OF the
senate, will fade completely out OF
the picture.
While no arrangements have been
made to that end it is the general sup.
position that Mr.. Harding, on the al
ternoon OF the third of March will
call at the White House and pay his
respects TO President Wilson.

The United States contends. more

under international law to seize the

status which existed before the war
shall be restored
