FRIDAY EVENING, FEB. 20. 1920.
THE CHANGES OF THE.

4 few months ago it was assum
ingly the unanimous opinion of .po-
litical observers that if the Demo
cratic national convention had been
held at that time President Wilson
would have been renomihated had he
desired the nomination. This would
have been in spite Of the traditional
objection to a presidential third term,
and in spite of the fact that the Dem
ocratic party is on record in the plat
form on which Mr.. Wilson was first
elected as opposed in principle not
only. to a third term for the prcsi-
dency, but to a second term. Today
it would be difficult to find a political
writer. Of any prominence who
would dare to say that President Will
son could be renominated under any
circumstances, no matter what effort
he might put forth toward that end.
The chances are that the original
estimate was correct, that six months
ago had the convention been held
then, Mr.. Wilson would have needed
only to have reached out and gath
cred in the nomination for himself,
and it seems equally certain that at
the present time his denomination
is an utter ~impossibility. 1t would
be difficult to say just what has
brought about this change in the sit
uation. In fact, the change is un-
doubleday due to a good many differ
ent factors. Possibly public opinion
itself has changed in some measure.
Perhaps Mr.. Wilson has changed a
little, and without question there is
an understanding Of Mr.. Wilson, his
character and his acts differing great
ly from that which prevailed some
months ago.
Recent acts by the president which
have tended to make his renomina-
ton impossible are quite consisten.
with the great deal that has gone be-
fore it. They represent the opera
ton Of the same tendencies, the same
display of personal characteristics
The conditions of the times, however,
have rendered them more conspicu-
GUS, and have served to emphasize
o strongly Mr.. Wilson'S intracta-
bilitN and the domineering nature of
his character. Seemingly without
purpose or excuse he has antagon-
lied almost every element in his own
party so that whatever element of
party ahesion existed has been en-
tirely lost Whatever the Democratic
parry may have in store for us, the
denomination Of Woodrow Wilson is
among its possibilities.

his action in this respect II now
made the specific eason by the
president for his dismissal.
Everyone knows that the real rea-
sons were entirely different from this
particular one. and tho president
would have commanded public re-
spect by stating tho = real reasons
frankly, and not seeking to manufac-
ture a cause for dismissal out Of .
series Of entirely natural. and proper
acts. 8f

THE LANSING EPISODE.

4 There has been wide comment
both in this country and abroad over
the dismissal Of Secretary Lansing
by President Wilson. Regardless of
the nature of the domestic comment
from other standpoints, there seems
to be no difference Of opinion what
ever as to the i~nadequacy. of the
specific reason given by the presi-
dent for his action. 1t is understood
everywhere that the secretary of
state Is the appointee Of the presi-
dent, and that to insure the proper
functioning of the government presi-
dent and secretary must be in har-
mony on those matters Of policy with
which both must deal. Any other sit
uation would be intolerable. II at
n time it develops that the views
of the two are 30 widely divergent
that the required harmony cannot
exist it goes without saying that there
must be a separation. A secretary
who knows himself to be out OF har-
mony with his chief may resign, or
the chief, realizing this situation.
TS ~ANSe lno 4V0ASudIOu> 6A0 ALL
this may be done without any sacri-
fices of"dignity on tho part of either.
The separation under those .condi-
tons may be brought about in a way
entirely honorable to both parties,
n It may not even involve any i'm
pairment of amicable personal rela-
lions.
1t is evident from the correspond
#eifce that there has been abundan.
caus for the retirement of MI. Lam
sing from President Wilson's cab
met, md that this cause has existed
n been growing for a long time.
There wa no reason why, when he
considered tha- the proper time had
come, Mr.. Wilson should not have
requested the resignation Of his sec
Rotary, telling frankly as his reason
tnaf 1t Q be necessary for him to
nave q man in that responsible posi-
ton more in harmony with his own
policies. Had the resignation been
requested simply on those grounds.
while there would undoubtedly have
been discussion as to which odacial
were IN the right on the matter. IN
yoived, there could have been no
Question as. to the .propriety of the
presidents action. But the o
on which the dismissal was based IN
the correspondence 4. utterly futile
aIdlchildfsh. The president has been
tncapacitatAd for several months.

CHATTER xIn-continued.

Inc yellow country ROAD merged
into macadam, h macadam into as
emily, slowly rolling through streets
filled with playing children who gar
nered the last daylight moments. On
one corner a hand-organ was per-
forming, and the group %disporting it
self to the flat, tinkling music broke
apart to shout after the car, waving
grimy hands.
Hello, Mr.. Corrie!". one shrill
voice came to the motorists.
The driver lifted his hand in salute,
glancing at his companion with a
blended mischief and diftidence so
delightful, so much like the old mer-
~ Corrie Rose, that Gerard laughed
in sheer sympathy of pleasure.
"They seem to know you, Gorrie I"
"They ID. At least. what they call
knowing me. You see, I blew out a
tire here, on the way home after you
sent me in to the postof1ce, last
week. and about three dozen Riddles
gathered around to watch me change
it. Bully little frogs; they nearly lost
all he kit Of tools trying to help me.
And talk! SoI-well, 1 gave them all
a spin about the square, in blocks of
as many as could hang on at a time.
and l set up the ice creams ali
around. 1t seemed my treat. You
don't mind? 1 suppose they are full
of germs and want washing, but I
Just remembered they were kids"
Il certainly do not mind" Gerard
ssured. He wanted to q some
thing more, but found his thoughts
singularly i~narticulate. There was a
certain verse commencing with TN
asmuch-' that he would have
quoted to Corrie,l had they been OF
any blood but the reticent Saxon.
''They remembered part of your
name" he added instead.
THAT was all I told them. The Ho-
tel Marion?"t
yes. speed up all you dare, our
time Is short"
The time was indeed short. AZ
they came down the avenue, Gerard
uttered an exclamation, catching
sight of a man who descended the
hotel steps toward q carriage.
Gross the street! There he goes.
He was promptly obeyed. The car
shot across the street regardless Of
tramc rules. and was brought shud-
dertng to q halt beside the left-hand
curb. Gerard sprang out and went to
join the man who had stopped be-
side h carriage to waittfor his pur-
suer. 81, ~

The supreme council is sending d
formal request 10 President Wilson
that the United States government
lake the mandate for Armenia.
The council decided to ask Presi-
dent Wilson To arbitrate the boun
daries of the new republic OF Ar
menia.
There seems 20 be a division on
the part of the council as to whc Ier
the region of Erzerum and is vi
entity should be included in the ter
ritory of the Armenia republic. The
Turkish nationalists are strongly
claiming Erzerum.
The council awarded a mandate
for Mesopotamia and Palestine TO
Great Britain and a mandate for Sy.
ria to France. In placing Palest ne
under a Br tish mandate the council
established within the ancient limits
OF Holv Land what Is called the Ma
tional Home for the Jews.
The terms of the mandate protect
the national rights of Jewish citi-
zens of other countries. That is 20
say a Jew of American British
French or other nationality may re-
tain his nationality although he is
also a citizen of the state of Pales-
inc The rights Of Arabs also are
protected, there being 10000 in Pal
estine and 100000 Jews.
