ENGLISH PRESS
SAY WILSON IS
BACK IN FORM

London, Feb. 14.-Concerning the
resignation Of Secretary Lansing,
the Pail Mall Gazette says:
President Wilson's return to po-
litical activity has been announced
by a sensational stroke" During
his illness. the newspaper adds, all
kinds of reports were current as to
where the real seat Of authority
lay insthe conduct of the American
administration.
"The curtain now has been
thrust aside,- the article continues,
"and we have the lively spectacle
Of the president not only using his
prerogative. but employing it to
discharge his chief legal adviser" Z"
The newspaper considers the
presidents self-assertion "emerges
all the stronger for his enforced
rest and he is evidently going to
take up the reins of government
again in a spirit that will not par
ley with opposition"
The Westminster Gazette says.
1.-THE dismissal of Secretary
Lansing by the president is dra-
matte illustration Of the peculiar
power assigned to the head of the
government by the American con-
stitution. What it is, exactly, that
Secretary Lansing has done is not
very clear, but he would appear to
have applied on his own account
what has been described as the
American principle Of one-man
management, while President Will
son insists on a monopoly Of the
idea"

Washington, Feb. 14.-The rail-

have agreed to accept the recon-

hold their wage demands in abey-
ance temporarily, it was annOunc-
ed today.
President Wilson informed the
men of his intention to appoint

thoroughly into their claims. On
this basis the union leaders agreed
to delay further demands for in
creased wages and called a con-
vention of their general committee
men to be held in Washington on
Feb. %.
Must Have Advice.
The union leaders reply to the
presidents proposal to handle the
controversy in this manner did not
end the question finally. They
made 1t clear that they desired
word from officials who are in
closer touch with their member
ship than they, the delegates who
have been comforting with Direc-
tor General Hines since Feb. 3.
As one part of his reply the
president requested the mainten-
ance of way men to withdraw their
strike order.
Offers Best Efforts.
The president set forth these
principles as covering the manner
in which grievances Of the unions
should be dealt with:
.In the event that in connection
with the return of private control
provision shall be made by law for
machinery for dealing with rail-
road wage matters, shall prompt

such law confers power upon me,

power to bring about the earliest
practicable organization of the ma
chinery thus provided.
I'm the event that no such pro-
vision is made by law for dealing
with these matters. / shall employ
the influence of the executive to
get the railroad companies and the
railroad employees to Join promptly
