Kce-Pres:dent Mafshaii--AH or Nothing
tFrom the New York Sum-

In the confusion OF expert legal and
constitutional opinion on the unprece-
dented situation which President VIII
son is now evoking or provoking there
is one thing which pught to be perfect
ly clear.
The President OF the United States
cannot delegate the functions and
nowers vested In his sole person by the
Constitution. If he is unable TO exercise
any longer these functions and powers
himself they are transferred 10 another
officer Of the Government. But they are
not transferred by his action, his ap-
pointment, his volitlon. They are trans
ferred automatically by the constitu-
tiOnal provision, and the President
from whose hands they pass has no
more TO do with the process OF trans
fer in case Of his "inabilty" 10 exercise
them longer than he has 10 do with the
procesg of transfer in case OF his
death.
Therefore when we read reports Of
an attempted arrangement by which
Nice-President Marshall is 10 give up
his Pacific trip and stay in Washington
In order TO discharge that part OF the
Presidents duties which concerns the
reception and return of bills passed by
Congress and sent 20 the President for
signature or veto we are filed with
amazement.
In the constitutional system OF the
little Republic Of San Marino there
are two Executives. They are not call
cd Presidents but Capitani, II our
memory is right. In the san Marino
Government a division Of powers be-
tween the two Chief Executives is con-
ceivable. One Of the Capitani might be
away attending as Capitano a peace
conference In Rome or elsewhere and
exercising from that distance by tele-
graph or telephone part Of the Joint
functions OF the dual office, while the
other Capitano remained on the noun
tain to take care Of administrative
matters requiring the immediate pres
ence OF the qualified Executive.
But in the Government OF the United
states Of America such an arrange

SPECIAL PRAYER SEASON.

A campaign OF special advent work
was lnaugurated in the Episcopal
Churches here and throughout the
country yesterday. Rectors were asked
10 appoint a messenger and interces-
sion for each parish. Endorsement Of
the campaign had been given by the
board OF missions.
Messengers have been appointed 10
carry appeals TO women members OF
the church. These messengers will
wear their distinguishing badges, and
will visit the church women and ask
them TO pledge themselves TO prayer
for special purposes.
A conference for prayer was held at
Georgetown yesterday. Similar con-
ferences were held in st. Andrews
parish house last Thursday and Fri
day and at Dover Saturday. Parishes
which have not completed plans for
work in the campaign are asked to
communicate with Mrs. Frederick
Brlnghurst, president OF the diocese Of
Delaware, or with Mrs. w. II. Beacon,
secretary.

THE PEACE CONFERENCE.
From the New York TrIbune.

FROM the New YORK Tribune.
President Wilson has plainly selected
Americas representatives at the peace
table on the theory that there will be
little left for them TO do after he him
self has visited Paris and sketched out
the broad outlines Of the great settle
ment. This Is hazardous theory to act
on. There may be no great differences
among the Allies over the broad out
lines Of peace. All Allied terms have
been strikingly similar when couched in
general and cOlorless phrases. The rub
viii come when the conference gets
down 10 details. The vital question is
whether the application Of the princi-
pies enuncated by the Allied govern
ments and embodied roughly and some
what obscuely in President Wilson's
fourteen articles is TO be fellcitous or
bungllng.
No one can contend that American
opinion will be adequately represented
In the conference by these appointees
They will be merely the agents there OF
the administrations policy, whatever
that may be. They will seek merely TO
carry into effect the Presidents personal
judgments. The Senate--the coordinate
branch Of the treatyamaking power
and the American public as a whole.
will be eft inarticulate.
When at the end Of the Revolutionary
War the treaty Of peace was made at
Paris I'm which Great Britain recognized
the independence Of the United States,
our government was represented by
John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, John
jay and Henry Laurens.
When the Treaty Of Client was signed,
at the end Of the War Of 1912, the Amer
ican commissioners were John Quincy
Adams, James A. Bayard, Henry Clay,
Jonathan Russell and Albert Gallatin.
When the Treaty Of Paris was signed,
in 1899, ending the war with Spain, the
commissioners were William r. Day,
Cushman K Davis, William p. Frye,
George Gray and Whitelaw Reid.
Now, in the conclusion Of a world
peace, after the greatest Of all wars, the
United states is to be represented in the
most critical portion of the final labors
by Robert lansing Edward NJ. House;
Henry White and Tasker II. Bliss.

ment is inconcelvable. II is not war
ranted by any consideration OF the con-
yenlence OF the absent President. Moth
! ing In our Constitution or statutes
comes within three thousand miles OF
permitting It.
There cannot possibly be at the same

thence discharging by mail or cable a
portion OF his constitutional powers

Washington, constitutlonally dlscharg-

President Wilson, in his extremely
lucid writings, has described the Vice
Presidency as that singular offlce." II
Is not, however, so singular as this
proposed division OF powers would
make it.
II Is a question Of all or nothing,

as President in the absence Of President
Wilson. An admission by President
Wilson Of Inability" 10 discharge such

deyolve upon the Vice-President all the

MAN POWER BILL UP TODAY SENATE MAY ACT ON THURSDAY
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON. Aug. 1S.-The three day vacation recess agreement of the house expires tomorrow and while the senate's arrangement runs to August 26, leaders hope to set it aside and get to work Thursday on the man power bill extending the draft age limits to IS and 45 years.
 The death of Minority Leader Gal finger is expected to curtail the senate's session tomorrow. If quorum of the senate attends tomorrow, Chairman Chamberlain of the military committee is expected to renew his request for annulment of the vacation agreement and ask the senate to begin considera- ton of the man power measure. De lay in setting aside the vacation agree ment would postpone action on the man power legislation until the follow ing Monday at least.
 With the national war prohibition measure having the right of way in the senate at that time under a previous agreement the man power measure could be considered only during the early part of each day unless, as is not improbable, prohibition advocates should consent to side track their measure temporarily.
 The man power measure will be taken up tomorrow by the house mill tary committee with Secretary Baker General March and General CrowdeI scheduled to appear The prospects arc that the bill will be passed by the senate before the house is called upon to act.

SECTOR DIVISIONS
 USED FUR ATTACK

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN FRANCE, Aug. 1S.-(By the Associated Press)-The victories of the French army on the Avre and at Thiescourt were won by some of the less re- nowned divisions which generally are known as sector divisions" meaning divisions charged with holding parts of the line while the duty of attacking the enemy was assigned to units that had earned the title of shock troops"
 These divisions, without a glorious past to inspire them and without re- Inducements, attacked the Germans with an ardor which shows a fine spirit pervades the entire army. These so-called "sector divisions" have obliged the Germans to bring up re- Inducements and to resort to all ex- pedients to stiffen the resisting powers. Several fresh divisions participated in the enemy's counter attacks upon the positions recently captured by the French around Ribecourt and Canny- | Sur-Matz. In the Thiescourt region Bavarians have been brought up to lend aid to the Prussians. Some of the endorsements nave been brought up by cavalry, according to prisoners. This they say, is the result of the inclina- ton of men to disappear on the way. The German artillery men now are provided with hand grenades, as a measure against surprise by the French | infantry. Some of these gunners cap- tured said they preferred to be taken
 prisoner rather than fight with grenades.
 The artillery men also were dis contented because the men sent to
 reinforce them were without sufficient
 training, some having been sent to the batteries after a fortnight's prepara-
 tion, prisoners said.
