, ing all previously Indicated angles. In this connection, it is interesting to note that while Vice President Marshall re-
 sronded with alacrity when President
 Wilson asked him by wireless from Paris
 to preside over a meeting of the cabinet,
 the willy Indianan refrained from any thing which by the most captious inter-
 pretation could have been regarded as
 even a desire on his part to take charge of affairs during Wilson's illness.
 The thrusting of Lansing out of the
 cabinet has made him a candidate for the
 Senate in New York This is discourag- ing to Norman F. Mack, who thought that without a struggle he could receive the democratic nomination. But the sym pa thy for Lansing which the Wilson ac- tion aroused is demanding that he run. His friends say that he would make a for midable candidate inasmuch as he has not taken active part in either of the d:verting New York controversies. those involving prohibition and woman suf- frage.

Washington. February 1s.-(speeial)- The real reason for the dismissal by President Wilson of Secretary Lansing, according to an unusually well-informed source of news, was not:
 The calling together of the cabinet by the erstwhile Secretary of State. the break between the President and Lansing respecting the award of Shantung to Japan, or Lansing's war-like procedure against Mexico when that country played hide and seek with Consular Agent Jen- kins.
 The real reason. according to this source was an alleged ill-advised statement by Secretary Lansing to the effect that dur ing the Presidents period of inecapacity tc discharge the duties of his office. Vice President Marshall should be called to serve in an emergency which was taxing the powers of the statesmen of the world
 This was the final straw, according to the information at hand The discussion of this new angle to the situation will cba.bly be as interesting as that regard
