sent to Russia as Ambassador Of the
United States. IL will be only after a
thorough airing in the Senate Of dis
closures made by United States Senator
]. Hamilton Lewis in his confidential let
ter to the Illinois editor. Furthermore.
there seems to be some doubt now as to
whether the President himself VIII stand
By Pindell.
The publication of the Lewis letter was
a source of great embarrassment to the
administration yesterday, and has been
particularly depressing to Secretary of
State Bryan. who declined TO make any
comment on the letter.
Members OF the Senate seemed dis
gusted over the apparent attempt to
make a political football of one of the
most important diplomatic posts in
Europe. The Republican Senators indi-
Gated that they would mold up the ap-
pointment II IL is sent in on Monday. as
President Wilson had intended. Sem
ators were particularly Interested in Nj.
Lewis insistence that the Ambassador
ship would go to PindeI !. provided he
would surrender the pos: at the expira-
ton OF year; also n his assurances
to the Peoria editor that he woulI have
nothing to do in st. Petersburg.
At the White House no comment was
made on the alleged Lewis letter.
Mr.. Pindell is publisher Of the Peoria
Journal Seemingly 1t has been a deli
cate task for the Administration to find
something that would meet with the
editors approval He first was talked
of for the office of Comptroller OF the
Currency. Then the Collectorship of In
ternal Revenue for the Peoria district
was offered Pindell He refused II. Next
he was approached on the subject of tn
postmastership OF Peoria. Finally It was
agreed that he should SO to Russia as

DR.. Lowell in an interview said:
These criticisms of my deductions are
made by men who are not experts, and
who. therefore, have no authoritative
opinion on the subject
