AIDES RUNNING DEPARTMENT IN CHIEF'S ABSENCE
WASHINGTON. April 7. This ia the training season for cabinet possibilities. At the present time there are three men, not members of President Wilson's cabinet, who are handling the three most important executive departments of the government They are getting actual experience at running a department and should circumstances occur to make it necessary for the president to pick a new cabinet officer these men would receive serious consideration, because it could be claimed in their behalf that they have had a whirl at running government departments ard proven themselves of sufficient caliber. It cannot be recalled when there were so many cabinet officers absent from the National Capital as at the present time, except during the hot months when Washington 13 more or less deserted. Mr. Lansing has already shattered the length of time during which a Secretary of State was absent from Washington. He has been at the Peace Conference since last December and is scheduled to remain until it has concluded its work. Three Are Absent. Secretary of Navy Daniels recently landed in France. He found It necessary to go to Europe to discuss future naval policies with members of the Peace Conference. Secretary of War Baker is Just concluding a trip of inspection which took him to the Pacific Coast. After he returns to Washington he will remain but a short space of time before making bis third trip to Europe since the United States entered the war. Some one must take charge of and direct the affairs of these departments during the absence of the secretaries. Naturally the question turns to the men who are acting in the absence from the capital of Secretaries Lansing, Baker and Daniels. And this brings us back to three men in training to demonstrate their cabinet possibilities. Frank Lyon Polk, Counselor for the State Department, Is acting head of his department Benedict Crowell, the Assistant Secretary of War, is taking Mr. Baker's place, and Franklin D. Roosevelt, Assistant Secretary of the Navy, occupies the place of Mr. Daniels. The State, War and Navy Departments are three important German Institutions, and the Empire State furnishes two of her citizens for the emergency. Mr. Polk and Mr. Roosevelt are from New York and Mr. Crowell is from Ohio.
CLEMENCEAU
(Continued From Page One) of his theories. It was not until Lloyd
George appeared upon the scene that
real chaos and paralysis arrived. Mr. Wilson has succumbed to the influence of Lloyd George because Lloyd George has skillfully and characteristically employed Mr. Wilson's theories to reinforce his own political purposes and devices. He has thrown his great Influence and his superb
power of maneuvre behind every pro
ject which made either for compromise with Bolshevism or for weakening the terms which had been sketch
ed to make peace a strong peace. Insists on Fourteen Points. The difference, as one sees it here, between the policy of the president and the prime minister, has been that the president has with ever growing vehemence insisted upon the most literal translation of the Fourteen Points, as if they were heaven born commandments, without regard to their effect upon the map of Europe, the security of the small peoples or the ultimate safety of France, while Lloyd George, without any Fourteen Points, without any formula, without anything in a political sense, has for purposes not yet disclosed, used the principles of Mr. Wilson, the necessities of France, the ambitions of Italy and the universal terror of Bolshevism to set the whole peace conference by the ears, paralyze action, promote discord and produce something approaching a hopeless mess. We talked about open Covenants openly arrived at. We are now in the presence of a peace being negotiated behind closed doors, and double guards without a single public statement issued or permitted. Four men, removed from every restraint, separated from
all association and advice, three of
them exercising absolute or almost absolute censorship of the press of their own countries, are In reality the masters of the world. Even this groiMnuA fravfistv on the name of demo-
rni nlo'tit ho fnrelvn If the f our i
would act but they cannot They have j
done nothing for two weeks out tear to pieces what had already been pro-
vutnnaiiv ooTflpri unon. ud wniie rev- i

quire the price of peace with Bolshe
vism and the size of concession wnicn must ha mail a with Oermanv to Der-'
suade her to sign a peace which they
have not yet agreed upon. I wish I
could convey to my American readers : the nxtent of the real tragedy that !
underlies this outward comDinauon or. paralysis and chaos.
France Endangered when this, nmce la made. France
will be left in Europe face to face with the next German storm. Her northern provinces have been laid in ashes, a million and a half of her best are dead, France is financially ruined
and if the nation which saved au 01 us is to be saved for us and the world it
run nriv ho unveil bv eenerous ana
sympathetic understanding on the part j
of those who fought wltn mmce are
the facts of the situation, ir no English and Americans consent in and
abet any arrangement that leaves
France insecure, France will be lost tn hnth nt nil and there will be a
tragedy almost unequalled in history.
I wish I could also present to my American readers the spectacle of the m man whrt t slttlne with three ren-
tntlvoq of countries suDDOsed to
be allies, striving wltn eucn sirengxn i as remains to him after the tremen-1 Hnna offYirtn hv which he secured vic
tory, by such strength as remains to
him with an assassin's bullet stm in his body, to save his country from that nitn which is dav bv day being
sketched and urged by those who sit
with him behind closed doors, ino ticer whn last vear hunted the enemy
is now being hunted by his allies.
As for the league of nations, it nas disappeared from the computation of onv thonehtful observer here. Some
formal documents will doubtless bej
alamort htr nt loast aoveral of the na
tions represented. It will almost asi rertftinlv h releeted bv others and as
a spiritual and moral force it will n6t
exist as a result of the progress or events in the last two weeks. The political opponents of Lloyd George have a phrase to describe his influence upon interesting young idealists associated with the peace conference. They say that the British prime minister "despiritualizes," those with whom he comes in contact. At least the conference of peace has been desplritualized. In the meantime, as I close this article there comes for a second time the formal announcement that the Italians have determined to withdraw from Paris, on Monday. This seems to indicate that the peace conference has again provisionally assigned Flume to the Jugo-Slavs. It remains to be seen whether the Italian gesture will be as effective this time as it was before, and if it is whether somebody will repeat it on behalf of the Poles, for there is nothing to be said for a Jugo-Slav Fiume which cannot be said with even greater emphasis for a Polish Danzig. U. S. "Movie" Propaganda Protested by Canadian (By Associated Press? VICTORIA, B. C, April 7. Mem
bers of the British Columbia legisla
ture have protested against the widespread use of American war films in British Columbia theaters. Attorney General Farrls said he had ben asked to have the provlncal censor to take action. American war films have been popular throughout the Canadian Northwest. Because of Canada's limited motion picture resources, dealers have accepted the American films, supplmented by British weeklies and other foreign films. Major Burde, one of the leaders of the forces opposing American war pictures, has been quoted as declaring: "It's a Btrange thing that even in our own houses we hardly ever see a Canadian soldier on the screen. We 6ee nothing but the American army winning the war. The stars and Stripes waves all over the place in spread eagle bursts." While Malor Burde has "high re-
I spect for the qualities of the American
officers ana men ne saw in Europe, ne said "there seems to be a big propaganda proceeding in the United States and we are the victims."

The remainder of the republican candidates are all incumbents.
Bishop Thomas J. Shahan. The French government has made Bishop Thomas J. Shahan, rector of the Catholic University of America, a Chevalier of the Legion of Honor. The honor was conferred upon the bishop for his splendid work in the cause of humanity during the war.
