Washington, February 12.-(SpeciaL)-
1t was a very bold game that political
buccaneers, in the interest of w. G. Nc
Adoo, attempted at the expense Of George
White, chairman of the national commit
tee, but it is certain that the game has
resulted in failure, and will soon be an
incident only for memory.
AS soon as the call by 40 of the mem
bers of the committee was issued, aud
the demand was made that the commit
tee be assembled March /, the fine italian
hand of Thomas B. Love of Texas was
discerned Recent confession on the part
of Robert w. Wooley, erstwhile member
of the interstate commerce commission,
that Mr.. Love had acted on suggestion
by him does not eliminate the imputation
that these men were willing to run the
risk of party friction in order to gain a
momentary advantage for their chieftain.
1t develops that these gentlemen had
devised a programme as result of which

AMERICANS LEAD
ENGLISH COUSINS
Yankee Rhodes Scholars at
Oxford Take More Firsts and
Seconds Than Britishers
BY Associated Press

Concord. N. H., February ia COM
parison OF records which shows that
American Rhodes scholars take more
firsts and seconds in the honor schools
OF Oxford university than the English
honors men is contained in a statistical
study OF the work of the American
scholars published in the January num-
Der of the American Oxonian issued to-
day. This magazine is edited by Prof.
Frank Aydelotte, American secretary OF
the Rhodes scholarships.
The study of the Rhodes scholars
records was prepared by Prof. r. w.
Burgess of Brown university. In it are
collected for the first time facts con-
corning these men. their preparation in
the United States their records at OK
ford and their careers since their return.
About four-fifths of the men take the
Oxford b. A. degree in one of the final
honor schools and one-fifth take research
degrees. Although the Americans lead
the English honors men in firsts ana
seconds, their standing is not SO high
as that of the English scholarship men
who are trained from their public school
days in the type of work represented by
Oxford examinations
Five hundred odd Rhodes scholars have
been appointed from the United States
representing 172 American colleges and
universities. At Oxford one-half of them
Studled law, one-SlXth modern history OF
economics, one-sixth humanities, includ-
ing classics and English literature, and
the remainder studied a wide range OF
professional and cultural subjects. OF
these who had a year or more at Ok
ford before the war, 70 per cent repre-
sented their colleges on one of the va
rious athletic teams Fourteen per cent
represented Oxford against Cambridge
in athletics.
More than one-third Of the scholars
on their return to this country have
gone into university or college teaching
about one-fourth are practicing law
more than 10 per cent are in business
and the others have engaged in gov
errment service social and religious
work, medicine scientific, literary and
editorial occupations.
Professor Burgess points out that the
expectation Of Cecil Rhodes, founder oil
the scholarships, "or at least of some
OF the early writers on the subject was
tkat the Rhodes scholars would enter
politics ''in the English sense or &c
into the diplomatic service
But neither Of these lines" says Pro-
lessor Burgess. affords career in the
United States for a man with his own
way to make; the organization of the
diplomatic service rather than the
scholars or the scholarship plan is "a
blame for this imperfect fulfillment OF
early exDectations."

SECRETARY DANIELS
TO BE HONOR GUEST

Washington, February lz.-(SpeciaL)
The members of the naval affairs com
mittee of the House will entertain Sec
rotary of the Navy Daniels at a din
ner to be served at the Hotel Wash
ington Monday evening The action of
the committee in deciding thus to honor
the secretary was unanimous. 1t waa
regarded as a distinct mpiiment that
the republican members were as will
ing to honor the secretary as the
democratic members. In explana ton, it
is said that the secretary and the
members Of the committee have gem
orally been in agreement despite the
animosity against Daniels displayed by
the republican press of the country.
Arrangements for the dinner were
completed by Representatives oliver
of Alabama, democrat, and Darrow of
Pennsylvania, republican.

1t is the opinion of well-posted demo-
cratic politicians in Washington that Mr..
Wooley and Mr.. Love acted without au-
thority from McAdoo. It is said that
McAdoo is entirely too intelligent a man
to arouse animosity when no object, by
any construction, could be conserved by
such action. At this stage of the game
it matters very little, it is pointed out,
whether the chairman of the committee
is friend of James Nj. Cox or w. q.
McAdoo. Neither of these gentlemen
carries the democratic party in his hip
pocket. and while both are favorites with
the party today, four years hence neither
may be.
AS Representative Flood of Virginia
pointed out, the record of the party to
serve in the congressional elections two
years hence, must be made in Congress.
Activity on the part of the committee at
this time. or prior to the congressional
elections, could serve no purpose, ne
added And, in the opinion of every
prominent democrat in Washington, it is
entirely too early to stage an inter-
party struggle between prospective can
didates for control of the executive COM
mittee Instead of aiding the party, II
is agreed in Washington that such use
less struggle would in all probability de-
velop friction which would not disappear
prior to the campaign four years hence.
PLAYS TO G. o. p.
Mr.. Love, in the opinion of democrats
of washington, did just as the republic
ans would have had him do. Ever since
the election last October the republicans,
through their never-silent publicity, have
insisted that the democrats transform
their defeat into riot; and admit sucn
state of affairs by agreeing that inn

was. part of the strategy to assist the
. republicans in the enactment of neces-
sary and constructive legislation, and to
expose them ruthlessly whenever they
yielded to their natural tendency to be-
come spoilsmen at the expense of the
public. The wisest and most practical
democrats agreed that this course would
be the surest means of restoring the
party to power.
LOVE MISGUESSED
But Mr.. Love evidently thought the
time ripe to strike a blow, not for the
party, but for one individual member OF
the party. He has given intense salts
faction to the republicans, who insist
that his programme be followed, and has
inspired William J. Bryan with renewed
lust for office and authority to mold the
party as he would have it nodded.
Mr.. Bryan, through prominent Ne
brasSan, has already announced that he
with his brother. who serves as his
claque at conventions, will proceed to
organize the party without regard for the
lowest OF highest stratum BY ignoring

the plan of Mr. Bryan to win with the
remaining third.
But the party is saved, for the time BE-
ing, from its Loves and Bryans. 1t is
safe to predict that there will be no early
meeting of the executive committee.
