WILSON TO PRACTICE
LAW With COLBY
Announcement of Opening of Of
fees in New York and Wash

(By Associated Fress)

Washington, March 3-Bullc-
tin-President Wilson announced
today he would resume practice
of law" in partnership with Balm
bridge Colby, retiring Secretary
of State. The firm will maintain
offices in New York and Wash
ington.
The Presidents announcement,
wholly unexpected, will recall to
the public mind one of his least
known attainments-that OF be
ing a lawyer. He graduated III
law from the University of Nir-
ginia in 1881 and praCticed i'll At
lanta in 1882 and 1888. In 1888
he began his career as Il college
professor.
No announcement was made
the character OF practice the new
firm will take up but thepresump-
tion is it WILDE international law
and collateral work. The office
announcement is taken to mean
that Colby will have charge in
New York and Wilson will look
after affairs here. Perhaps no
announcement Of any nature sur
prised Washington more during
recent months.
Undoubtedly there will be much
international law business in the
next so years arising out Of the
world war. Wilson's store Of in
formation on international affairs
is very wide.
