 Finally, one moro big contrast from the standpoint Of reporters. Tn the last war, Wilson, who always really hated press conferences, prac- tleally gave them up. So far, in the present war, Roosevelt, who seems to enjoy his press conference cs, has mostly kept them on his scheduled Tuesday afternoons and Friday mornings.
 In his last press conferences, we saw Wilson tense, hlgh-strung, worried, Tn OUT bi-weekly confer. Onces with Roosevelt, we see a Pres- ldent who Is serious when serious things are discussed, but who is quick to zee the funny side Of things and parry qulp with gay duip.
