President Wilsoa declared to Secretary Lansing : "I have been struck ly the number ! 3f matters In which you hare appar- I sntly tried to forestall jny JudgTneot S by formulating actloa and merely isling my approraj." j la Tlew of this statement the pres. j Ident declared It would relieve him S of embarrassment to have "an opportnnlty to select some one whoBe mind : ! p wonld more wllllag-iy go along with j mine." ; Secretary Xanslng declared fee j zould not "permit to pass unchal- i lenged the Imputation that, In calling j Into Informal conferences the heads ' of the executive departments, I 1 sought to ursuxp your presidential ; authority." IINTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE! WASHINGTON. Feb. 14. Official Washington was astounded today b;. .Secretary of State Lansing's rcsignati in lolio.ving a sharp rebuke from President Wilson for having called cabinet meetings during his illness. 1 1 was manifestly the concensus in there will b further sensational developments m this most amazing page jn I the history of the administration. Th' . resi l"tit's loiter to retary Lansing is generally interpreted us an acknow! -edginent Hint ho was unaware of what, tr inspired during nearly four months of li's illness. WAST INVESTIGATION. Certain members of otuigress have -I1 ready suggested that there should be a'. invesi i gat.ion as to the conduct of thoveriiiin nt during these months. Thero whs also consid -ralde ciriosn as to whether other resignations would follow that of Mr. Lansing. 1 1 is knov . that Secretary Lansing ha not alwa.vbeen the prime mover in the calling cabinet meetings, but that he has simp, acted as ranking leader in calling th meetings, often at the suggestion of other nvnibers. LANSINO NOT BLAME ABLE. During the coal strike crisis, when specia.1 meetings of the cabinet wer 'ailed, it was distinctly understood at the White House thrit the meeting' were caiied at the request of pecretaty of Ia.bor Wilson. At other times it has been understood that, other members desired the cabinet meetings and ih' Secretary Lansing simply acted at th' request of cabinet members. Th" resignation of Secretary Lansing had long been expected but the stat department let it be. known that thsecretary would remain in office until hfelt tha.t he had th opportunity to resign without embarrassment to the president. SPLIT AT PAHJS. That Secretary Lansing split with th'president at the Paris reace conferen, . and subordinated himself to the presidtnt's wishes, was well known in Washington.
