that be either would repudiate them
or resign his office. President, Wilson
was at the time on his speaking tour
in the West. To say that he was no
set br Bullit's‘. (correct) story and his
quotations of the secretary of state
puts it mildly. Officials in the presi-
dcntial party who knew the workings
of the president's niind,‘ expected

for when the president returned to
\Vashington. These same officials bx
‘i‘eve now that the breakdown whim
sent the president home a very sicla
man was the only thing which pre-
vented it.
Mr. lansing. however. never saw
the pscsidcnt azain. and did all his
busincss with the ('llief executive in
writing. The relations between the
men remained very much strained.
and then Mr. lensing}; action in call-
ing the Call'net toaether brought tht-m
to the breaking point.
Those who were present at the first
cabinet meeting described a rather
tense and dramatic scene. Congress
was full of' rumors that. the president
was so disabled as to be constitutio..-
ally unable to discharge the. functions
‘of HS office. Thetc v.15 talk of what
lmight be done to place Vice-president
'Marshall at the head of the govern-
ment and how Congress mizrlit go

Item of the president‘s illness. It had
not then become known that he had

in one of the arteries in his bra'n
There were even ugly rumors that the
picsitlent might not be in possession
of all his faculties. Some Scnators
were even contemplating some action
to find out “whether we have a presi-
dent or not." as one of their number
Wt it. Thc ugly stories Were of
course all disposed of and shown to
be unfounded yissip by the later de-
velopments, but they were circulated
and widely credited at the call 01
Secretary Lansing.
The secretary of state. it should be
stated. believed he was supported by
precedent in cal’l'n‘g the cabinet to-
gether. Looking up the historical rc-
cord he founti it had been done. when
President Garfield lav ill for weeks af-
ter having been shot by an a’ss‘assin.
and that. it had been done before that
when President Taylor bad a long ill-
ness and ultimately succeeded by Vice.
president Fillmore.
Th \Niron cabinet assembled "the
first day wi:h a fceling ofappreh'en-
sion, for none of the members knew
the extent. of the pi'esl‘dent’s illness,
but expected to be «informed of it.

president th.t1 ‘.\lr_ Lansing had called

time, Secretary Lansing had nooppor-
Whit." to reply because some time of
the member2 stepped into the breach
and asked Dr. Gruyson to say to n...
president that the only purpose of the
meeting was to inquire the state or
his health and to send him a message
of loyalty and encouragement. At that
point the meeting broke up without
havingr transacted any business. but
it did not end the so-called cabinet
conferences.
It has not been made plain whether
President Wilson knew since then that.
the Cabinet members had been as-
rembling and talking over interdepart-
mcnt affairs. but the meetings have
been held in the cabinet room l‘n the
executive offices and if th'e president
(‘lfl not know it. it probablv was be-
cause those surrounding him did not
tl‘lnk it wise to tell him.
The best opinion of those “on tho in—
side“ is that the president (lid not
know until last week of the regulari-
iv a: which the cabinet was meet! ng
at the call of the. secretary of state,
because at about the time at whicn
the president‘s first letter to Mr. Lam-
sing is dated. the \Vhitc llouse offices

There was. however, no hinfthfit the
ending of the meetings marked a se-
paration between Mr. “’ilson and Mr.
Lansing.
Now that the. break has come am";
Mr. Lansing has left the cabinet. much i
mav be revealed of the extent to which '
the secretary of state and the presiei
dent differed in matters of policy
Quite aside from the differ-end ’at

or differences {n foreign policy. and

would have left his ofilce some time

to spare the. president upheaval

today that he was making rapid 51nd,“

Chairman Porter, of the House For-

"I am not inclined to accept this

“There is nothing in the Constitu-

If We accept the president’s construo
fi'on of the Constitution, it would be I
violation thereof for two of the
secretaries to hold a conference in the
absense of the president.
“Mr. Lansing has faithfully served
Mr. Wilson for his rights. I think the

Makes Dissatisfaction
DK'BLIN, FED. 14.~Dismissal of Sir
Joseph Byrne, the Inspector-General of
the Royal Irish Constabulary, has pro-
voked an outcry in all sections of the
irish press.
Sir Joseph has been at the head of
the police since the Irish rebellion,
and has administered all the police
measures taken to suppress the Sinn
Fein party. His friends say that he
has never disobeyed any Government
order given him. Neverthelcss, his
dismissal is treated as if it Were the
sacrifice of a. popular official.
It is no secret that he disagreed with
the Government on the question of en-
forcing conscription for the army last
year, and reported strongly against the
possibility of its being carried out.
There is reason to suppose also that
the various measures lately taken for
the protection of the police, the arm-
ing them with bombs and so forth,
scanned to him more likely to make
the position of the police difficult and
dangerous.
The explanation of the dismissal
most widely current is that the Gav-
ernment contemplate further meas-
iures which would make the police still
lmore of a. military force, and possibly
associate soldiers with them in the ex-
ecution of their duties. and that. Sir
Joseph Byrne disapproved.
