Break with President

Bv ARTHUR CoNsTATTNE.

Reports Of a breach between Secretary
OF state Lansing and President Wilson
and the possible retirement Of Mr.. Ian
sing from the Cabinet were current last
night. Rumor has it that Frank l. Polk,
counsellor for the State Department, will
soon become Secretary.
The latest talk about a split between
the two officials is virtually a renewal
of the rumor which was rife when Mr..
Lansing went to Ashevnle. y. c. on q
short vacation about two months ago. 1t
is no secret among those on the inside
of administration circles that there has
been a lack Of harmony in the views OF
the President and Secretary Lansing on
several issues.
One complaint Mr.. Lansing Is reported
to have is that the President has acted
too independently in q number OF in
stances and has not conaded in him 10
the extent that he believed his position
as Premier called for.
