 Lodge Critfcfxes
 Out of the situation, there Is renewed criticism of Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, the repub- lican leader of the Senate. It is argued that in other days, re- publicans, when their majority was less than at present, could do as they desired to do. But Lodge has proved himself only human and as such unable to overcome entrenched forces of numerical strength and great de- termination.
 The democrats have not played politics. They have not been obstructionists regarding the treaty with Germany, and the tax bill. Senator Underwood, democratic leader, has insisted that the republicans be per- mitted to proceed respecting these matters. But when the refnnding and tariff bills are up

GRAYSON'S STATUS
BEING DISCUSSED
Admiral May Continue to
Treat Mr.. Wilson After He
Leaves White House.

Naval circles are discussing the
question of the probable status of
Rear Admiral Cary T Grayson follow
ing the coming change of administra-
ton. What is to be determined pri-
marily is whether he is to retain
his station in this city either as an
official physician of the next Presi-
dent and his family or to enable
him to continue his professional
treatment of President Wilson after
the latter resumes his status as a
private citizen.
According to the Naval Register.
Admiral GraySon is attached to the
naval dispensary in this city, but his
duties there do not interfere with his
attendance on the President. Though
officers of the Medical Corps of the
Army and Navy are not supposed to
engage in private practice in addi-
tion to their regular duties, it is said
that there is nothing in the law or
regulations which would prevent Ad-
miral Grayson from continuing the
treatment of Mr.. Wilson as private
patient. provided an arrangement is
made for the retention of the medical
officer on the Washington station.
Gossip has it that the President
elect and Mrs. Harding will have
their own civilian physician at the
White House, but that Admiral Gray
son will remain on duty in this ci ity
so that Mr.. Wilson will not be de-
prlved of the benefit of his profess
slonal services, under an arrangement
20 be made between the two.

BIRMINGHAM. England. February
4.-The British government formally
proposed a cancellation of all inter-
allied debts, but the proposals were
unacceptable to the American govern
ment. said J. Austen Chamberlain,
| chancellor of the exchequer, in a
speech to his constituents here today.
ITO make them again." Chamber
lain continued, would be, I think, be-
meath our dignity, and would render
us liable to miSconception of our

Sought No National Advantage.
I'm making them." he added. I'VE
sought no national advantage for
ourselves. We proposed a solution
in which we should have foregone
claims larger than any remitted to
lieved it would be in the interests of
good relations among peoples, the
rehabilitation of national credit and
the restoration of international trade.
Our great international debt is due
to the obligations we undertook on
behalf of our allies. If we had had
only ourselves to consider we should
have been particularly free of ex-
ternal debt at the present time"
Desired a Clean Slate.
Mr.. Chamberlain prefaced his re-
marks by saying that he would have
preferred at the close of the war that
the whole interallied debt had been
wiped out, SO as to start with a clean
slate.
There was no proposal for a settle
ment of the international debt among
the allied and associated powers,
whether for a total or partial remis-
sion. which the British government
would not have been prepared to be
a party to, he declared.

RHODES SCHOLARS
FROM u. S. AHEAD
IN OXFORD HONORS

CONCORD. N. H., February 5.-A
comparison of records, which
shows that American Rhodes
scholars take more firsts and sec
onds in the honor schools of Ok
ford University than the English
honors men. is contained in a sta
tistical study of the work Of the
American scholars published in the
January number of the American
Oxonian, issued today.
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
government service, social and re-
Hgious work. medicine, scientific,
literary and editorial occupations.
Prof. Burgess points out that the
expectation of Cecil Rhodes,
founder of the scholarships, cor at
least of some of the early writers
on the subject" was that the
Rhodes scholars would enter
politics 'fn the English sense" or go
into the diplomatic service.
But neither Of these lines" says
Prof. Burgess. affords q career in
the United States for a man with
his own way to make; the organi-
zation of the diplomatic service
rather than the scholars or the
scholarship plan is to blame for
this imperfect fu1fllment of early
expectations"
