Lawrence F. Abbott, president and publisher of The Outlook, thinks that the New York Times was “very unfraternal” in printing the story that connected President Roosevelt to The Outlook. It was published through the efforts of William C. Reick, who has previously been affiliated with the New York Herald. The Outlook intends to ignore the story, except for giving a brief statement to reporters who “flooded the office with inquiries.” Lawrence is pleased with the conduct and record of the Atlantic Fleet in Australasia and Japan.
