LAMONT MAY RETIRE.

Story That Oothwalte la to Become Secretary of War. Columbus, Ohio, May 15.—There is a hint here that amounts to a conviction that before this year expires ex-Con-gressman Outhwaite is to be made secretary of war. The story is not denied nor is it admitted in confidential Ou-

thwaite circles. Mr. Outhwaite is en route to Europe, to return July 1. The president, Mr. Lamont and Mr. Outhwaite are known to be very close friends. The talk at this end of the line has been sub rosa, but is printed in full now so far as it may be without violating confidence.
