 Senator Smith of Michigan, Republ- can, said President Taft had confer red with Diaz on the internationa1 bridge at El Paso. but did not go into Mexico
 Resuming his speech. Senator Sher- man deplored the influences of tho world with which the president would come in contact and declared when he reaches Europe, ''the whole American atmosphere that ought to surround the President is 1ost.'
 The effects of such influences, he said, often have been felt by nations
 "A kiss of a sensuous womap." said Senator Sherman, has been known to change the history of nations"
 We ought not to put in temptation" he added, after pause, while Sena- tors and spectators in the galleries laughed.
 Senator Sherman contended that the ordinary functions of the Presidents office cannot be performed while he is abroad that he cannot make civil ap- pointments, pardon or reprieve offen- ders, order troops to preserve order, or erform any of the routine acts.
 Sovereignty is not of a migratory character" he said,
 ,"The President of the United States is not the President in a foreign land, he Is an alien, shorn of all his sovere ign powers. He has no power of his own volition to transfer the seat of government to an alien country"
 Referring to the resolution of Rep resentative Rodenber gog Illinois in- troduced in the House yesterday call ing upon the vice president to assume the office of President, Senator Sher- man said his own resolution goes further and declares the Presidents s office vacant. The vice president, therefore, he argued. would cease th' be the senate's presiding officer and w"uld become president "in fact" until another is elected in 1920

successfully"
 The Presidents trip to attend the peace conference, Senator Sherman said, was without Justification, and ''insidous mischief might result" He insisted that the Presidents depart. ure would suspend the legislative power fthe government during his absence" because while congress can pass bills they cannot be singed or ve- toed by the President in accordance with law
 Senator Sherman argued that since under the law, congress established Washington as the seat of govednment, federal sovereignty resides at this point and 1t cannot be transferred to any other point except by act of con- gress." He added that because of the importance of ending questions and "the dangers now on our Mexican bor- der" the presidents absence might result in grave menace.
 Senator Curtis of Kansas, Republi- can, interrupted to read from a decis- ion of the supreme court of Oklahoma, holding that when the governor of that state left the borders of the state the lieutenant governor automatically served as governor until the return of the chief executive. The rovisions of the federal constitution, he said, are identical with reference to the presi- dent leavng the country.
 Senator Thomas of Colorado, asked Senator Sherman to dscus the dues ton of who should serve during the absence of the president Senator Brandegee of Connecticut expressed the belief that the constitution pro- vides that the vice president shall serve in the absence of the PsesidenS but that in the event of the inability of the vice president to serve. then congress might arrange for the sue cesion. Senators Thomas and Sher- man declared that the right of success sion is fixed by law.

not practical to turn about and try to
climb over the barrage. Ii takes u very
highly specialized scout machine To climb
to $4,000 feet and the heavier machines
can not achieve that altitude under any
circumstances.
The longer the airman hc~itate~ To- run
