REASON
IS ADVANCED FOR
WILSON'S ACTION


ton by Robert Lansing that Vice
President Marshall should take over
President Wilson's duties during his
illness was the direct cause of Mr..
Lansing's resignation, according to
information today from source
usually we'll informed.
The suggestion was made months
ago, but came to Mr.. Wilson's ears
only recently. A few hours after
ward, it was stated, he acted to force
Mr.. Lansing out of the cabinet.
Relations between the president
and the secretary of state had been
chilly for more than a year, accord
ing to this information. The presi-
dent, it was said, regarded Mr.. Lans-
ing's suggestion as personal af-
front, and as "the last straw" 1t
climaxed long series of irritations.
The president, it is believed, felt he
could not resume his active work in
cooperation with the man who had
suggested his presidential duties
should be delegated to another.
Therefore, he virtually demanded Mr..
Lansing's resignation.
With regard to the reason given
calling cabinet meetings is point
ed out that Mr.. Wilson knew of these
meetings, had known of them for
months, and that, therefore, they
could not have precipitated his sud-
den demand upon Mr.. Lansing for
information concerning them. DR..
Grayson was at some of the meetings,
and Attorney General Palmer, at the
time of the coal strike crisis, told the
president the conclusions of the cabi-
net with regard to it, and laid them
before him.
Colonel House Peacemaker.
Colonel House, it was learned, in
tervened to preserve bearable rela-
tions between the two while they
were in Paris, but after their re-
turn to the United States, when Col.
onel House no longer saw the presi-
dent, this influence was removed and
the bitterness between the two men
increased.
Nomination of a new secretary of
state was awaited with intense in
terest in Washington today as the
next development in the virtually
forced resignation of Secretary Lam
sing.
Thozc most likely OF be nominated
ere believed to be the following:
John W. Davis, United States am
bassador to Great Britain.
Frank L. Polk, under secretary Of
state and now acting secretary for
thirty days after the resignation of
Lansing, and Newton D. Baker, secre-
tary of war.
The disposition at both the White
House and the state. department to-
day was to leave the Wilson-Lansing
break a closed incident.

MCCORMICK ASSAILS
ADVOCATES OF PEACE
PACT COMPROMISE

Washington, Feb. Ex-senator
Lodge called up the peace treaty in
the senate at l AZ p. m. today and
at once moved that the senate take
up his proposed amendment on the
reservation relating to withdrawal
from the League of Nations.
In the opening speech of the de-
bate on the treaty, Senator McCor-
mick, Illinois, a Republican "bitter-
ender," assailed those trying for
compromise reservations.
I'VE are invited solemnly to- wit
ness the reduction of an irreducible
minimum" said Senator Mccormick.
eve are summoned to share in the
ransubstantiation of a resolution
which cut the heart out of the cove
nant, into one so superlatively inter-
pretative that. to Americans it would
seem to assure their peace and Sc
curity, while to Europe it will appear
to guarantee their participation in
every future war, even against the
American conscience and judgment.
"At the moment when Democrats
at the other end of the avenue an
at the other end of the capitol have
broken the leash which bound them
to the White House, some Of them
seem to be coming to heel.
Senators proposed to ratify the
treaty and at the very moment when
the horrid and spectral truth has ar
peared in Europe to compel the af-
frighted people to cry out for re-
vision. In the very hour when the
majority leader and the majority in
the senate are about to be justified
by events, it is proposed that they
shall yield the safeguards to Amer
peace and honor"
He quoted the statements of Earl
Curzon and others in parliament to
show the need for revision of the
treaty.
Mr.. Mccormick criticised Senator
Lodge, his party leader, for being
willing to discuss compromises of the
Lodge reservation, comparing Mr..
Lodges compromise negotiations
with uncompromising attitude of
Daniel Webster on questions involv-
ing the American constitution. He
said:
"The venerable senator from Mas
sachusetts sits here in succession to
a great son of the old commonwealth
whose name today is cherished above
all others who have been senators,
not for the compromise which he
made to secure his own ambition,
but for his uncompromising defense
of the constitution of the United
States whether it were assailed by
those who would destroy it through
secession or by another who threat
ened it by an act of usurpation."
In spite of extremely inclement
weather, the usual large crowd filled
the senate galleries in anticipation
of lively debate. Mr.. Lodge did not
call up the treaty earlier because of
the debate on the sale of German
ships and because of the lateness of
the hour he permitted Mccormick to
speak Immediately after the formal
motions incident to calling up the
treaty had been made.
This prevented general debate. It
also prevented Senator Hitchcock
making suggestion that article ten
be taken up first in order to deter
mine at once whether there is any
use going on with the debate. By get
ting the withdrawal reservation be-
fore the senate, Mr.. Lodge has for
the time being forestalled any effort
to take up the question of article ten.

BEAUTIFUL PICTURE

No stories have attracted more at
tention during the past few years than
the adventure and romance woven
around thelives Of the famous North
western Mounted Police of Canada.
The men have occupied a foremost
place in American and English fiction,
all of them founded on truth and based
on the actual happenings of the of
ficers. And the story told at the Pal
ace theater tonight, "The Rivers End, :"
reaches out in pleasing manner and
adds another success to their already
long list.
The story deals with three years
chase of man, wanted for murder.
The double lead is played by Lewis
Stone, that of the murderer and the
Mounted Police. Following a chase
lasting many months in the far north,
the man is captured and returning to
Canada, the officer is taken seriously
i'll. During the illness he is cared for
by the fugitive and a warm friend
shin springs up between the two men.
The wanted man returns to his
home in the role of the Mounted Po-
lice and the story following brings out
many amusing and heartfelt scenes.
