and France jim particular have gotten
out of the treaty everything that they

do nothing to alter any of the unjust
clauses Of the treaty, except by unani- |
nous consent Of the members of the
league and the great powers will never
give their consent to changes in the In
terests of weaker peoples. He also

could really understand it, it would un-
questionably be defeated, but wonder
ii they will ever understand what it let's
them in for After speaking thus
about the Presidents pet measure, even
though it be true, Mr.. Lansing was
hardly the proper person to function
as Secretary Of State. If it had not
been for the Presidents illness, his re-
signation would doubtless have been
called for long ago. A sense of wound
ed vanity may also have helped to turn
Mr.. Lansing against the President. At
the peace table, the European nations
were represented by their premiers,
who had practically all the say, while
in the American delegation the Presi-
dent was the real power, the Secretary
Of State playing not even second fiddle,
that prerogative having fallen on Col
House. It probably did not occur to
Mr.. Lansing that premier Of a Euro
pean government is, practically, the re-
sponsible 4 head Of the government.
while under our form of government
the Secretary Of State is simply the
mouth piece of the President, his SER

President Wilson has been very un-
fortunate In choosing his official fam

Bryan, "the. greatest Roman Of them

Sophia was a stunning figure in i'm

with an air of naughty formality. Her
