tically 10 the first day Of his vacation

uled TO arrive at st. Augustine. which
will be the presidents vacation head
quarters, at o'clock this afternoon.
The run through Virginia and the Car
olinas has so far been without Incl
dent.
II appears, however, that Mr.. Hard
ing has settled these matters in so far
as he needs deal with them inn
mediately. This is said to be his view
at all events. He has let his position
be known upon each of the pressing
issues, and in effect gives notice that
those concerned can agree with him or
disagree, if in the latter case, they
wish TO assume the risks.
1t was learned yesterday afternoon
that there had been no sudden decision
on the Presidents part to go 10
Florida, although his purpose to take
a rest had been guarded with unusual
secrecy.
The President may be gone a week
or 10 days, or even two weeks. He
made no promises before leaving as TO
the date Of his return.
a measure OF surprise was felt after
his departure became known over the
decision OF the President 70 take a va
cation at a time when the treaty fight
IS most acute: when the bonus situa-
ton had become even more unsettled

issued Tuesday; and at time when a

bers OF his party, which in addition
to Mrs. Harding. secretary. Christian
and Brigadier General Sawyer, his
personal physician. includes Attorney
General Daugherty. Speaker Gillett,
OF the House; and Under Secretary
OF State Fletcher. all appeared TO be
enjoying the trip immensely. The
President intended y go out for a
round OF golf when he reached St
Augustine this afternoon.
While his vacation plans for the
week had not been announced early
today IL was understood Mr.. Harding
might take fishing trip down the
Florida coast OF several days as the
guest OF Edward b. Mclean. publisher
of the Washington Post. on the lat
ter's houseboat.

from Hampton Roads for the Near

eminent officials viewed with satisfac-
tion the lessening of the tension be.
tween the Nationalist Turks and the
British. In official circles here the be.
lief prevails that the Turkish accept.
ance of the armistice plan would re.
suit in peace conference.
While there was no official utter
ance on the subject. 1t was generally
understood that the United States
would have an observer sitting in at
such peace parley TO see that Amer.
lean interests were taken care OF.
Meantime. the destroyer hotilla or
dered to Constantinople is carrying
extra supplies for the relief of
refugees.
The mission Of the destroyers IS en-
tirely pacific. They will be used by
Admiral Mark Bristol. United States
High Commissioner at Constantinople,
wherever they are needed to take care
of American lives and property or to
transport Americans or other refugees
out of the danger zone.
When the IL vessels reach Con-
stantinople some of the destroyers
now there probably will be ordered
back TO home waters.
The British and other Allied Gov
ernments clearly understand the posi-.
ton of the United States. though there
has been no official interchange of
views. Informally the American posi-.
tion has been made known. Thus far
no suggestion or intimation has come
from foreign capitals that the United
States would he invited TO join in any
way in handling the Near East prob.
