Republicans TaLkatiUe
 But Democrats Silent
Lansing Sensation Is Thought to Have More Behind Ii Than Mere Calling Together of Cabinet During
 the Presidents Illness
By HUGH ". ROBERTS

but it was judged significantly strange that none of them defended MT. Wilson for his act of dismissal per SC. Pri- vately, certain of the democrats dis cussed the case to the extent of stat ing that when differences between a chief executive and a cabinet officer develop, the cabinet officer should re- tire or be elected. But none of them agreed with the President that Mir. Lansing in having called meetings of the cabinet during the serious illness of MT. Wilson was actually desirous of assuming execsutive authority. or the reins of government.
 It is not the opinion of any demo- cratic senator, as matter of fact, that Mir Wilson took his action because of Lansing's convening of the cabinet. Otherwise, these senators would hold all other cabinet officers equally at fault for as Secretary Lane explained this afternoon, the interdepartmental sessions were arranged as a result of mutual agreement. and the call was is sued by Lansing simply because of his premier rank as a member of the cab met
 It is known that President Wilson and his Secretary of State have been at loggerheads for more than a year. and democratic members of the Senate in private discussions declared that it would have been wiser had the Presi- dent so explained rather than left the impression that he was moved to dis miss his secretary on the allega ton that he sought to usurp his authority and office during his period of desper- ate illness.
 Two causes for the lansing dismissal are judged pre-eminent In Europe, MT Lansing differed with the Presi- dent respecting the surrender of the Chinese province of Shantung to Japan. This fact was established in the testi> mony of William c. Bullitt before the foreign relations committee of the Sem ate. Later, when compelled to nego- tiate with Mexico for the release of William O. Jenkins, American consular agent, Mir. Lansing served an ultima tum as a result of which President Carranza would have been compelled instantly to release the American or resist invasion by United States troops. This action did not meet with the Presidents approval, and immediately thereafter, as result of Mir. Wilson's modifying efforts, the Mexican crisis was averted.

washinstou Bureau Lhe Ass- Hsrals


 Washington, February 14.--(S Specially Regarding the sensational dismissal of Secretary Lansing, by President Will son. it was a remarkable fact today that no republican senator refrained from excessively expressing himself. and no democratic senator permitted himself to be quoted.
 Republican comment ranged from the very conservative statement of Senator Capper of Kansas that If the President and MT. Lansing could not agree, the separation should have been brought about to the intemperate utterance of Senator Morris of Nebraska. that "the Lansing incident only proves the gen. eral belief that the President is in- capacitated."
 It was not regarded as unusual that the democratic senators refused to dis cuss the reason advanced by the Pres ident for his action respecting Lansing.

OPTIMISTIC IN
 SPITE OF SQUALL
By HOLLAND


 New York. February 12-(SpeciaL)-- )-- To a man of reputed financial wisdom and of long experience in the securi- ties market who is also in somewhat intimate association with the Federal Reserve Bank, the remark was made this morning by a man of capital that he continued to be an optimist- He looked upon the recent furry in the se- curities market as only momentary and not dangerous squal1.
 In reply he was told not to let his optimism carry him for the present into the securities market. That 1t would be the better part for him to wait until mid spring when the possi- bility is excellent that there will be a change noted and that optimism would again prevail in the securities market. This remark differs only in phraseology from others that have been made recently by men of experience who have to do with banks as direc- tors or managers and who must watch carefully the course of events.
 An international financier whose banking house if of high repute and who has achieved very great things said to a friend this morning that he is by nature and also aby experience an optimist- Yet he could not help wondering whether the public had not not gone a little wild. It seemed to be spending too much money upon things which are not necessities of life. The wage earners who have been receiv- ing pay envelopes which have contained money in unprecedented amounts are chief among these heavy spenders. Furthermore to the experienced eye warning comes from across the sea which wise men in the United States in taking to sail, husbanding their re- sources and making preparations for possible reyerses in our business life. This man pointed to the monition contained in the report that our exports are beginning to fall off. Thomas w. Lamont ventured to say few days ago that business men of capacity are be ginning to apprehend a falling off in exports not becauserof lack for Amer ican goods but because so many of the other nations cannot pay. Then too there is the unprecedented fall in the quotations of the foreign exchanges. WHAT MONEY WILL DO He furthermore said that in these days if will be easy for money to buy securi- ties to be turned into money at least, at anything like their real value.
 Others have made remarks of like tenor. They confirm the impression that the bankers and the financial leaders are now of the opinion that there may be further depressions in the securities market and in fact there may probably come conditions which will be far from satisfactory in this last month of the winter and the early months of the spring.
 It is evident that many men of capi-

 GLASS AND EXCESS PROFITS
 Word comes from Washington that
 Seantor Glass who has recently been
 transferred from the treasury depart ment to the United States Senate is considering the expediency of offering
 a resolution which if adopted by both houses and accepted by the President will repeal the excess profit tax Sen ator Glass has met many of the Amerf- can bankers and also some business men since last summer. From them all
 he has learned that one of the causes of the high cost of living and of the
 most grievous of the complaints made
 with reference to the present tax law
 is the excess profits tax. The Senator knows that the men who framed the
 tax law contemplated the imposition | of the excess profits tax because in | their belief the payment would come
 directly from the rich or we'll Ito do. It would be a wealthy mans tax but it | has been discovered that this tax is passed along and ultimately reaches | the tnsumer and that it is he who pays 1 it. 1t would be in the interest of bust ness and also the government. accord D
 ing to the alleged view of Senator | Glass, if this clause in the tax law be repealed The repeating of it would
 serve to correct some of the evils or dangers which have been ascribed to the present tax law.

ADDRESSED HOUSE TODAY

Eamon De Valera, president of
the Irish Republic" addressed the
Maryland House of Delegates today
in response TO an invitation from
that body. He was met at the rail
road station here by a delegation of
House members and before going TO
the House. exchanged greetings with
Governor Ritchie in the latter's office.
-Ireland's case" Mr.. De Valera
said in his address, was based on
the principles of self determination
Lloyd-George had admitted that self
rule for Ireland if submitted TO a
plebiscite would prevail 8 TO /. Now
there are two Governments in Ire
land he said. one exercises its power
on the authority of its people and the
other is imposed on it by England
1t remains for Ireland to secure Off
cial recognition from this country.
This it lacks, but he claimed for
ireland the sympathy of America, cit
ing the recent action of Congress as
proving this.
As soon as Mr.. De Valera conclud-
ed his speech he left Annapolis.
