ington Today

New York. July 2s-secretary Of
State Lansing 'farriAed here yester.
day from Brest on the steamship Rot
terdam. The Secretary accompanied
by his wife and a small party of State
Department attaches, was taken off
the ship at Quarantine and brought
to this cfoy on revenue cutter. He
will remain here over night and go
to Washington tomorrow.
Secretary Lansing declined posi-
lively to discuss foreign affairs,
either as they related to the peace
conference or to Mexico. He said he
would make no statement until he
reached Washington.
Mr.. lansing made an effort to gel
into wireless communication with
Undersecretary Polk, who sailed yes
terday to take the place OF his chief
at the peace conference, but atmos-
pheric conditions were such that 1t
was impossible to exchange messages.
The only statement Mr.. Lansing
consented to make was in reply to
question as to whether he contem-
plated retiring from the cabinet.
"No, ! will net resign" he declared
alphabetically. II have no thought or
resigring."
