Feeling Said to Be General.

Those who have been in committee
conferences say that the general feeling
Is that II Mr.. Burleson Is not invited by
the President to retire. the hopes for
democratic success in 1920 are pretty
small
The members of the committee rea-
Ike that they have a very stiff fight
on their hands to oust the Postmaster
General, because he is understood to
be protege of Col. House, and it Is
a we'll known fact that tho President
is influented' by Col. House as by no
those omciaNy delegated to be his ad-
visers by the votes of the American
people. .......
But the national committee is going
ahead with, its fight. 1t Is realized
that the appeal to the President must
be made by the real democratic work
ers, the men who help to swing cleo
tions. SO that there may be no sus-
p1cfon Of ulterior motives. It must be
made by the Presidents personal
friends and we'll wishers and not by
those who have come to be recognized
as critics Of the administration.
Mr. Cummings May Act.
Although 1t would be a very dis
tasteful task for Chairman Cummings.
other members of the committee seem
to think that eventually he win be
asked to head the committee to wait
on the President asking for Burle-
sons political scalp. or that II It
seems more likely to succeed, Mr..
Cummings may be requested az part
Of his duties as chairman to arrange
for q private appointment with the
President.
Members of the committee say that
they are hearing from all parts Of the

Mr.. Wilson Stirs Sensation.

PARIS, April % (by the Associated
Press).-President Wilson's emphatic
declaration that he will not yield on
the Adriatfc question has created the
most profound sensation in the peace
conference. He has thrown down the
gauntlet to the supporters Of secret
treaties in a manner which almost
took away the breath Of the delegates
who have been urging compromises
on points covered by many secret docu-
meilts and at variance with the Presi-
dents fourteen points.
President Wilson's sweeping declara-
tfon, while aimed directly at the Adri-
attic problems. also reaches the Kiau-
Chau controversy, in which Japan re-
lies on secret agreements made with
Great Britain, France and Italy in 1917
to support her in her claim to the con-
cessions held by Germany in Shantung.
