| hours, leaders on both sides began e
think suddenly Of the future-it begar
with the news headlines relative to TO.
nights Wilson.Taft meeting In New
York-and they were not happy.
The crisis OF the past week has beer
curiously revealing. Huge new issues
have been created and defined and
sharp outlines have ben revealed ir
men and in affairs. Big men have
grown suddenly bigger Little ones
have dwindled. The Republican party
leadership is now shared by two men
Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Lodge. The Demo-
Gratis have only one leader and he is
determined-ss he has always been
to retire from politics after the close
of the Presidential term.
Democratic Shiftlessness
The Democratic tradition OF shift
lessness has been sustained in the
present session. The Democrats in
ability to get along with each other
has been freshly proved. The leaders
in Mr.. Wilson's party have failed him
wofully when his need for them was
very great. Disruption OF the party is
regarded as almost certain within the
next year. And disruption on the Re.
publican side seems inevitable, too.
The prospect of Republican ex-
President and Democratic President
side by side on the same platform in
a war against the acknowledged lead =
ers Of their respective parties has a
more than piquant interest under the
circumstances. Obviously, the cloak
rooms said sleepily last night, the next
years will be Republican years. But
who will be the Republicans? viii the
Republicans be the party Of Mr.. Lodge
or the party OF Mr. Taft? Two days
ago tho betting would have been two
TO one for Taft. Today II would be
three to one because Of the implica-
tions Of the meeting arranged for this
evening at the Metropolitan Opera

ment TO his enemies. The anti.Wilson
whips in Congress remembered with
bitterness that while they are done
up for lack Of sleep and generally ex.
hausted the President remains the
most tranquil man in Washington
Three days ago IL was being said
that Mr.. Wilson was up against an
actual disaster. This morning when
they glanced at the headlines and be.
gan to reckon and consider the Senate
leaders remembered that the Presl.
dent has way OF his own with dis.
asters. He meets a disaster, ad.
dresses it politely. reasons with it in
the best Of good temper and in little
while has it working diligently in his
behalf.

Advantage With Wilson

In the light of today that miracl
seems to have been performed again.
The advantages of the situation in
America are still very heavily upon the
Presidents side. When the debate of the
last week is analyzsd it is apparent
that Senator Knox and Senator Lodge,
the only two men whose anita gonism 10
the league of nations is TO be seriously
considered. have actually committed
themselves to the principle Of a league
OF nations not the Presidents league,
but a league. nevertheless.
Meanwhile the Fates, which accord.
ng % the Washington legend, do
everything for Mr.. Wilson but black
his boots. have again, been busy to
smooth his cours..
The need o. some or the powers
which stood out most stubborniy
against some Of the provisions urged
by the President in Paris has become
suddenly more acute. Their need for
the moral support OF America and for
membership in a league OF nations and
for peace has become more pressing
almost over night.
II would be possible for the Presi
dent utterly TO disarm his critics il
ne were to return unexpectedly 10
the United States with a league OF
nations constitution revised and made
even more explicit in the clauses
written to protect American rights on
this continent. Some such elimination
is not impossible. And any politician
who intends to make an anti.leagueof
nations campaign i'm the meantime
must build his plans upon very peril

Taft Well Supported

Mr. Taft is now assured of the sup
port of all the people whose faith in
President Wilson is instructive. And
he is assured besides, OF the support
of many who refuse to be led by par
tisanship. In the Anal analysis he
may be supported by vast number
of Democrats. He may be supported
in a pinch even by Mr.. Wilson. One

Take Maps on Desks

Scarcely a dozen Senator's remained
in the chamber during the early morn
ing hours, and even the efforts OF the
few on watch to hasten the moments
with raillery and dialogue did not pre-
vent a member here and there from
dropping his head on his desk for a
brief period of repose.
There was little evidence Of senatorial
dignity In the scenes in cloak and com
mittee rooms where members slept, some
OF them fiat on their back on table tons
and others huddled together on as
sembled chairs. Senatorial snores could
be heard as far as the doors of the Sen
ate chamber, A small supply OF army
blankets was soon exhausted and the
fortunate Senators found them a COM
fort as the chillness preceding dawn
crept through the Capitol.
