'silar phrase has II they wiz hear him
the first time. & ri
There Is some speculation as To-
whether the President VIII call meet
fngs on Tuesday and Friday morn
ings, as he did during his stay here
last summer, before starting on the
journey that ended In his illness, or
will be content with meetings on
Tuesday only, as was the custom for
time before the war broke out.
Opinion rather fayors the latter pro-
gram.
The peace treaty is hardly one that
would be formally taken up by the
cabinet, as the state department Is
the only government portfolio directly
concerned with that issue, though
there is no reason why the Presidents
official advisors should not discuss
it. Incidentally the question Is be-
ing asked in Washington: What
would be the result il President Will
son refused to allow Congress to re-
cess or adjourn this summer until our
peace status with Germany Is definite
ly established? True the President
has no police power TO hold the Con-
gress in session unless it be by call
ing an extra session Immediately af-
ter 1t adjourns. but the moral weight
of message saying the interests OF
the country demanded some action
looking to a resumption of a peace
status would be enough to accomplish
the same purpose.

and this and exped clients designed to-
help our late allies recoup their
strength while protecting the obi
cations Of this government to, Its own
citizens may well command the at
tertion OF the cabinet.
Another issue that concerns the
state department, the department Of
commerce, and to some extent the
treasury department is that of resum-
Ing trade relations with that part Of
Russia controlled by the sovietists.
Agents of that country have been in
America for several months, bidding
for everything from army shoes to
locomotives and some American man
ufacturers have gone SO far as to sug-
gest mandamus proceedings against
the Secretary of State to compel him
to allow goods to be shIped to any
Russian port. The state department
contends in reply that nothing would
be gained by such procedure as none
of the soviet representatives has
enough money, to make trade with
them profitable.
The United States shipping board
Is not represented in the cabinet, but
the American merchant marine is of
vital concern to the administration,
and Secretary Payne, as former chair
man OF the board, can supply his COL
! leagues with whatever information
they was On that subject. Some very
| definite suggestions about South
American trade routes and trade re-
lations were brought out at the sec
ond Pan-American financial confer
ence held early this year, but no
authorized" cabinet meeting has been
called since that time to discuss their
value.
Daylight saving in the government
offices in Washington is something
else which may come before the cab
met. President Wilson is expected
TO favor 1t, as he vetoed the bill which
repealed the daylight saving law and
Congress passed 1T over his protest.
It was said at the White House this
week that nothing is before the Pres
tdent on, the question of local day
light saving plan. but an early effort
by some officials to have such
scheme put into effect, either by ex-
ecutive order or legislative action,
would surprise no one.
Nor is 1t to be expected that a cab
met meeting would be adjourned this
month or next without the subject OF
the coming campaign being preached.
Only one cabinet officer, Attorney
General Palmer, is in the field for the
presidential nomination, but every
member, and the President as we'll
will take more than an academic in
terest in the pre-convention campaign
and the issues it involves.
The foregoing constitutes but few
of the important things which the
cabinet will have before 1t when 1t
meets, not forgetting matters OF de-
partment policies that tho new sec
retaries will want to discuss. All Of
them are anxious to get the Presidents
views in a personal talk with him,
and when he calls meeting he will
need to call only once. AS the pop

WASHINGToN; April 2.-Resump-
ton OF cabinet meetings is looked for
very shortly; by those in close touch
with the White House, where Presi-
dent Wilson'S increasing activity,
coupled with the announcement that
he wiils1eave about June is for Woods
Hole, Mass, lends color to the BELIEF
that he will soon gather his official
faulty about him in weekly or semi
weekly conferences.
Only q few days ago the President
on one OF his motor rides crossed the
Potomac river and drove as far as
Alexandra. Va. in an open touring
car and his physician, Admiral Gary
Grayson, has suggested that the chief
executive may even try few holes

Massachusetts,.
Publication OF. the correspondence
in connection wfthdthe resignation of
Secretary OF State Lansing made 1t
certain that no more gatherings of the
cabinet about the long table in the
executive office would take place un-
til President Wilson was at the head
Of the board. After numerous chang
es the cabinet seems to be perma-
nentiy organized, and its members,
particularly the newer ones, are anX-
ious to meet with their chief and dis
cuss departmental problems. But be
1t soon or later, when next the Presi-
dent meets the ten department heads
he viii find them a different group
from that he last saw seven months
ago.
In that time five of the cabinet Of
fices have seen change. Secretary
Lansing, Glass, Redfield and Lane have
gone. and Secretary Houston will sit
1t the chair of the head OF the Treas
ury Department, while his old place
as Secretary of Agriculture will be
filled by Edwin T. Meredith. The
other new faces around the cabinet
table will be Joshue T. Alexander,
Secretary of Commerce; cambridge

II is believed that President Wilson
Will have some very definite ideas to

when, in this locality, the mercury

Canine Curiosity.

The curiosity of the dog is pro-
nounced IL observed for a few min
utes. 1t Is quick TO notice strange
dog OF person and the value OF the
watchdog comes from the fact that
Il wants to investigate every noise.
II is very interesting to watch a dog
when II meets beetle. At first he
seems to be little afraid of the tiny
creature, but finally he can't resist any
longer. so he plucks up enough ,cour-
age to touch 1t with his paw. Then,
realizing that II has not hurt him, he
smells It and rolls 1t over and over
with his nose. Then, after he has sat
isfied his curiosity, he walks away and
leaves the beetle to go its way II he
has not put It out of commission with
the strenuousness Of the investigation.
