(COpyrlRlt, 19GO,
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20 - Three
days outside of Washington, talking
with people in all walks of life, people
in New York state, Michigan and llli-
nois, has given the writer an idea of
how a cross-section of American pub
lie opinion feels about the Wilson
Lansing break. And the odd part OF
1T is that on my return to Washing
ton. l find hardly realiza tfon of the
astounding political effect which the
episode has had.
The national capital has so many
sensa tions that It is often calloused
to cabinet designations and regards
them as mere flurries. 1t is true that
the editorial expression has been al
most unanimous in condemn1ng the
abrupt dismissal of Secretary Lansing
but even editorials are sometimes
brushed aside in this intensely poll
teal year by administration men as an
ephemeral hysteria, bound to pass
sooner or later.
DisapprovaI is General
Not so. however, is the judgment
Of the average man I encountered in
such places as Binghamton and SYRIA
cuse in New York state, Detroit. or
Chicago and on the trains travelling
between these points. Never in my
own experience has it seemed to me
that opinion was so uniform.
Democrats and Republicans alike
disapprove of what the president has
done but the regrettable and signifi-
cant fact. however, is not mere con-
demnation Of what has happened, but
wonder about what will happen. No
matter where one went, the question
that was shot back was: Did the
presidents illness have anything to do
with that Lansing letter."
Try as one might to offset such an
impression. there is no doubt that
every act Of President Wilson from
this time on will be subjected to an
embarrassing scrutiny. The incident
has made amazing inroads on that in,

telephone company to grant five cent
increase in wages. y operators en-
ployed in the Cambridge City exchange

cents an hour, and asked 80 cents. The
demand was made early in the week,
and the company was given until
Thursday noon to meet it. Nothing
was done by the company. and all
operators left their switchboards
Thursday noon.
I'VE are not going to give in to
them. and we have already enough

WILSON'S REPLY IS
SAID To SHOW j. S.
STAND UNALTERAbLE
(By Associated Press,

WASHINGTON, Feb. 90 The po-
sition of the American government on
the Adriatic settlement has been made
so plain in President Wilson'S reply to
the Allied note that administration Of
ficials believe the way to further argu-
ment in the subject virtually has been
closed.
1t was said today, however, that by
this time they did not mean that the
door to further to exchange had been
shut. On the contrary reply to the
presidents latest communication Is an
ticipated and final agreement be-
tween the great powers of the vexing
question expected.
The president throughout the ex-
changes now in progress Is understood
to have made it perfectly clear that
the United States can not accept the
settlement reached by Allied prem
iers, and concurred in by Italy, and
which was made the subject matter OF
the ultimatum of Jugo Slavia last
month.
He is, also said, to have made it
equally clear that enforcement of the
Adriatic terms of the secret treaty of
London Negotiated before this country
entered the war. would be wholly un'
acceptable to the United States.
The presidents note still is in the
hands of acting secretary Polk, to
whom it was sent yesterday for study
and it was said at the state depart
ment that it would not be dispatched
today. 1t probably will be put on the
cables tomorrow.
BERLIN, Wednesday,, Feb. 20 -
Newspapers here are giving unusual
prominence to- dispatches from the
United States bearing on the wilson
Lansing episode, and also the attitude
of president Wilson, on the Adriatic
question. With little, editorial com.
nent there's attempts to establish the
fact that there is a ''insurrection
against Mr.. Wilson at home and
abroad" This is based wholly upon
the cabled information through Hol
land and Switzerland to the effect that
American newspapers are taking the
part of Mr.. Lansing.
The Tageblatt declared that Mr.
Lansing's case has been converted
into Mr.. Wilson's case" and that while
great nation. who was hailed as the
United States, outsiders are forced to
make the somewhat depressing obser
vations that the annointed of the
great nation. who has hailed as the
herald of the world democracy and
liberty, is closing his career in open
contradiction of the will of his people.

Commerce Committee Re-
ports Favorably on Meas

for Bond of Hearst.
PROTECTS FROM LOSS
(By Associated Press)


WASHINGTON, Feb. 2O-The sen.
ate commerce committee today ord,
cred favorably reported Chairman
Jones' bill, prohibiting the sale OF the
80 former German passenger liners
except as may hereafter be provided
by congress.
While no record vote was taken on
the bill, the committee previously
adopted a motion, 10 to 8, proposing
that the sale be prohibited. Senators
Edge, of New Jersey; Fernald oil
Maine; and Nelson of Minnesota, all
Republicans, voted in the negative
Those supporting the motion were:
Chairman Jones and Senators Ball,
Colt, Lenroot, McNary, Republicans; !;
, end Chamberlain, Fletcher. Kirby
Ransdell and Sheppard, Democrats.
$5,0O0000 Bond Asked.
While the committee hearing was
in progress, counsel for the shipping
board appeared before Assistant JUS
tice Bailey in the district supreme
court, to urge that William Randolph
Hearst, on whose taxpayers petition
a temporary injunction against the
sale has been issued, should be placed
under $5,000000 bond to cover posi-
BILE losses to the government, due To
Inc Iy1HS up Vi SloII W iSSoi ~ "
ceedings.
They estimated the daily prospec
tive loss of $4,000 and also pointed
out that contract to sell the Swanee
for $2,O0O000 held up by the in
junction, expired today.
Counsel for Mr. Hearst contended
that only nominal bond should be re
quired as board officials had told
congress all bids had been rejected
and that no sale would be made with
out specific permission Of congress
Would Stop Future Action.
Mr.. Hearst sued, it was stated, moi
for his personal gain, but in the pub
lie interest, to prevent loss to the
government, and counsel added thai
a bond of $5,O00,OOO required of a
single taxpayer would prevent pub
lie spirited persons in the future from
applying to the courts in similar cas-
es. Justice Bailey said he would fix
the bond tomorrow.

forcement so as to permit the states
by referendum to authorize the sale OF
2.75 beer and 10 percent wine was pro-
posed in a bill introduced today by

My bill' said Mr. Minehan, merely
provides for sane. reasonable and
logical method of enforcing the prohi

American spirit to impose arbitrary

personal habits, upon the ApErican
