Extraordinary as the fact seems
President Wilson never consulted his
secretary of state in any way what
ever relative 10 his plan for league
OF nations previous to the departure
of the American commission for Par
is on December 4. 1918. While at
Paris the president neither asked
Secretary Lansing's advice as TO any
provision OF the covenant nor did he
discuss any phase OF this vitality inn
portant matter with him personally.
Naturally Mr. Lansing drew the In
ference that his counsel was unwel-
come to the president. Nevertheless
in the discharge OF his duty he had
on December 30. 1918. addressed a
careful memorandum to the presi-
dent marked Secret and urgent.
offering definite suggestions as to
how the proposed league OF nations
might be constituted so as TO avoid
the constitutional and practical OBJ
jecions which he felt sure would ar
Use If the plan that the president had
in mind was carried through. This

can hardly believe that such an i'm

true. We are riding a hobby. and
riding to a fall" Up. 61.)
Surely this is SUFFICIENT to estab-
lIsh the reputation of Mr.. Lansing
not only as a prophet but az a states
man.
Time and again Mr.. Lansing en-
deaVored by personal memorandum
and otherwise to put before the pres
ident wiser. more practicable and
more constructive counsels. The re-
suit was always the same. The pres
idont. for reasons satisfactory to him
self. would not discuss the views and
suggestions OF his secretary OF state
nor indeed would he even acknowl-
edge their receipt.
On the meaningless OF the term
self determination, and on the con-
Beuuent danger Of its indlscriminatc
us Mr.. Lansing was clear and expli-
cit. On the rather casual assump-
lions. legal and otherwise. Involved
in the systems OF mandates he was
searching and sharply critical. To
Lord Robert Cecilia plan, which, II
adopted would have placed In the
hands of the Five Powers the con-
troll OF the international relations
and the direction In large measure
Of the foreign policies of all nations
he was vigorously opposed because Of
its frank disregard OF the fundamen-
tai principles Of International law,
and lite overriding OF the rights OF
the small states. For President Will
sons fundamental principle Mr.. Lam
sing endeayored TO persuade him TO
substitute the self-denying covenant
under the terms of which each high
power would guarantee
its own conduct and international
action rather than the security and
freedom from attack of any power.
This ingenious plan was rejected by
the president without consideration,
although it appears to have COM
mended itself to Col. House (p. 79)
and also to Mr.. Henry White and
Gen. Bliss (p. 124.)
1T is obvious that President Will
son wa sthe only one OF the Ameri-
can representatives at Paris who Ia
yored the affirmative guaranty. but
as he possessed the constitutional
to determine Independent
ly the policy of the United States, his
form of guaranty was written into
the revised draft of covenant sub
mitted TO the commission on the
league of nations and with compar-
atively little change was finally ad-
opted in the treaty of peace with Ger
many" ="
THE sincerity of Mr.. Wilson's be-
lief in the absolute necessity of the
guaranty which he proposed to the
preservation OF international peace
cannot be doubted. While his ad-
visers were practically unanimous In
the opinion that policy, as well as
'rinciple demanded change in the
guaranty he chung tenaciously to the
affirmative form. The result was
that which was feared and predicted
by his colleagues. The president
alone must bear the responsibility
for the result" Opp. l24-sJ

When Wishes Come True

Mcn and women have always had wishes
almost as long as they have had wants
wish is only want plus the luxury tax
anyhow.
Primitive men didn't have any way to
express their wishes they generally lust
went out and took what they wanted-if
they could get it.
Later people thought that superstition
would make their wishes como true and
they wished rings, new moons white
horses and scores of other systems of
their own Children today still hold to these
fancies
Now, when you have regular life-sizcd
wish to be satisfied, YOU take ii to the wish
inss market'-The Dispatchs Classified Sec
tlor--and get what you want
Whether your wish is to buy or SELL to give
or get service or employment-you will find
scores of opportunities of all sorts awaiting

at once. But the general. Erum-
bling against q "maniac afflicted
by the fear Of revolutions" took up
his hammer and continued the "im-
portant" task.
On March IL It became impos-
sible to hide the truth any longer
from Nicholas. He knew that
extraordinary measures were neccs-
sary Immediately and resolved TO
return to Tsarkoie-Selo.
The imperial train left Mohilef
that night. Twentyfour hours
later they learned that the insur.
gents had occupied a station thirty
one miles south OF Petrograd. and
1t was impossible to reach Tsarkoie
Selo.
The Car decided to 20 to
Pakor, the headquarters of General
Roussky, commander-in-chi Of the
north front.
Roussky informed the Emperor,
March IA, regarding the latest
events in Petrograd. The EN-
peror asked him to telephone NJ.
Rodzianki, the president of the
Duma, that he was ready to grant
every concession demanded IL the
Duma thought It would bring or
der to the country.
"It is too late!' answered Rod
zianki.
Was that the TRUTH The revolu.
tionary movement was limited to
Petrograd and its immediate en-
virons. And in spite of propaganda
the Cars prestige still was strong
with the army and wholly intact
among the peasants.
The Emperor was left with only
one alternative. To abdicate or
march on Petrograd with the loyal
troops. But the latter would be civil
war In the presence of the enemy.
Nicholas did not hesitate. The
morning of March Is he sent tele.
gram to General Roussky announc.
ing to the president of the Duma
his intention to abdicate in favor Of
the Czarevitch.
Several hours later he sent for
Prof. Fiodrof, the court physician.
and said:

frankly. is the malady of the Care.
witch incurable?"
"Sir," answered Fiodrof, Science
teaches us that It is an incurable dis
ease. Nevertheless those afflicted
with It sometimes attain old age.
Alexis is at the mercy of an acci.
dent.
The Emperor, lowering his head,
sadly murmured:

to me. All, well! Since II

MICHAEL ALSO RESIGNS.
The Car had fallen. Germany
was on the point of carrying off its
greatest victory. There was still
time for the educated part Of the
nation to recover their self-posses-
sion and group around the Grand
Duke Michael, who by the act of
abdication was to be constitu-
tional sovereign in the full signifi-
canoe of the term.
Russia was not yet in the grip OF
one of those great popular move
ments which lodges all logic and
precipitates a nation into the whirl-
pool Of the unknown. The revolu-
ton was exclusively the work of the
middle class OF St. Petersburg, OF
which the major part would not
hesitate to rally around a new mon

of the Duma had but shown them
the example.

nation-they did not know that any.
thing had happened.
The grasping eagerness for
power, coupled with fear, caused
the extremists to let slip this last
chance to prevent a catastrophe.
The day after the abdication OF
the emperor, the Grand Duke
Michael. on the advice OF all the
members OF the provisional govern
ment with the exception OF two,
also renounced the throne. He
turned over to the constituent as.
sembly the task Of deciding what
the form Of government was to be.
CZAR ARRESTED.
This was fatal. The disappear.
ance OF a Car left in the souls of
the masses an immense void they
we're powerIcss to fill. They were
left to themselves, disabled and
fluctuating, in quest of an ideal, OF
a belief to replace that they had
lost. They discovered around them
only nothingness.

1917.
The Emperor was convinced that
any concessions under existing cir
cumstances would be taken as a
sign of weakness which, without
removing the discomfort caused
by widespread privation and suf-
fering due to the war. would
diminish his authority and hasten
a revolution.
The opposition Of the Duma
made clear tho powerlessness OF
the Russian government in time
of great danger. The Duma could
not meet tho situation. Intrigues
redoubled when only the union OF
all parties could bring the nation
safely through the great war.
LUDENDORF"S PERSPICACITY.
Why did they not understand
that at such a time . revolution
would place tho country at tho
mercy Of its enemies7 That fact
was we'll known in Germany.
IT often had dreamed" says
Ludendorff In his Memories Of
the War" that a revolution IN
Russia would tighten our military
task"
Germany was the only country
in Europs which understood Rus
sia. German statesmen knew
Russia far better than did the
Russians. For three years they
had studied tho Czarist regime.
which, in spite Of its glaring
faults, was the only authority ca
pable Of prolonging Russia's re-
sistance. Therefore. by every means
possible, Germany sought to cause
the overthrow of Nicholas III.
This is why It was necessary
for Russia to maintain at any cost
the existing regime until the end
of the war. After that, democratic
reforms would be feasible.
The Emperor was governed by
two very powerful sentiments: He
loved his country and the people
intensely, and was determined to
fight the war until a definite VIC
tory was achieved.
so blinded were his opponents
by passion they did not under
stand what moral force II was
for the people to have a Car de-
tcrmined to conuuer; they did not
understand that his idea alone
could bring the country to victory
and save It from German slavery.
PLOT AND COUNTER PLOT.
The position OF the Car was ex-
traordinarily difficult. The extre-
mists on the right saw their safety
only in compromise with Germany;
consequently, Nicholas was the
obstacle to remove so that he could
be replaced by another sovereign.
The extreme left desired victory,
but without an emperor; therefore
the Car was the obstacle which
revolution must suppress.
Whilst these two parties were
carrying on an intensive campaign
against the Car, sapping the foun.
dations Of monarchy and thus max.
ing themselves the unwilling tools
OF German propaganda, the moder.
ate party adopted the most danger
Gus line OF conduct. 1t was. how.
