foreign onicers by its kindly and con-
true diplomacy-it presents the argu-
ments OF this government with q
forcefulaess and logic which cannot
be ignored and which have led the
allied foreign ministers, 1t may be
authoritatively stated, already to con-
slider steps whereby they may escape
the just criticism of the United States.
At the risk OF revealing state secret.
1t may be said that this latest note
was drafted by Robert Lansing. the
very able counselor of the state de-
partment, assisted by Chandler An
derson and James Brown Scott, both
trained diplomats OF no small expert
ence. The admirable character of
this communication affords ground
for hoping that the president has
learned where to seek the ablest adj
vice ON foreign affairs at his COM
mand. AS is well known to those ''ol
the inside" President Wilson long
ceased to rely on Secretary Bryan to
handle delicate diplomatic negotia-
tons. He made the blunder, however,
of turning to his sol-in-law. Secretary
McAdoo, at whose door lies the re-
sponsfbiiity for some of the admins
tration's most unfortunate diplomatic
plumbers. Mr.. McAdoo, however, has
been seriously Ill and in his absence

ablest advisers In his administration,
three men who, 50 long as he permits
them to guide him, will not lead him
astray.

that the first break In his cabinet win

that his retI, ement is close at hand.
Nj. Garrison, who bids fair to go
down in history as by far the ablest
member Of the Wilson administration,
although too loyal to utter q word Of
criticism, is known by his intimates
to have differed radically with many
OF the most important policies Of the

table by Messrs. Bryan. Daniels, ct n.
1t is an open secret that, had Mr..
Garrison had his way, no American

ever have found its way into Mexico
because of his fear that ultimately
they would be turned AGAINST Ameri-
can soldiers and sailors. On numer-
Gus occasions his views on foreign
policies have been rejected and he
has nov reached a point where he
never Expresses his opinion on any

Of congress who have sought to SUD-
