LONDON, Feb. 12. "Where
has President Wilson disap
peared to?" is the question to
which the Evening Star demands
an answer to-day. The newspa
per says that if these wore the
uays of the Arabian Nights, in
stead of the prosaic twentieth
century, it might well be believed
that his death was being con
cealed for reasons of state.
The Star remarks that It is one
of the queer anomalies of Repup
lican government that a Presi
dent can practically disappear
from public sight so easily. ,

Despite1 the violence contained In the
1 statement of Mr. Hartshorn to-day and
, that In the speech of W. Lunn. Lnhnr
member from Kothwell, in the House of
Commons last night, the gravity of tho
situation must not bo overexnggerated.
The radical polloy outlined by Mr.
Hartshorn Indicated that there was a
possibility of the failure of the Labor
plan, for three reasons. They are:
1. The meeting of the miners' federa
tion executives holds the possibility that
tho miners .henselvea will repudiate
these executives' direction of affairs and
adhere to the political programme of the
Labor party, although the consensus
nerc is tnai tnis is improbable. Mr.
Hartshorn and .Mr. Lunn represent not
only the radical coal miners but Mir.
numerically u:id politically the most
powerful.
2. Tho meeting of the Trades rtninn
Congress, which the miners demand be
called, may not support the strike.
3. The result of the miners' own haunt
ing, which, after all, may bo against
the strike.
Indeed, the two labor soeecheti in.t
night, one by William Brace, president
of the South Wales Miners' Federation
and the other by Mr. Lunn, Indicated
that Labor Itself wob facing a critical
division.
If the preliminaries to the coal strike
do not determine whether Labor lines up
with the coalitionists, hoping eventually
for an Increase In wages as an alterna
tive. At the tune of the negotiations
last summer the brotherhoods, at the re
quest of the President, did not press for
higher wages. The railroad workers
base their pleas for an advance In wages
now on the increase ln the coat of living
since the last general wage raise In 1918.
The labor leaders conferred at tht
American Federation of Iabor to-day
and elected B. M.' Jewell acting president
of tho railway department of the Ameri
can Federation of Labor, Timothy She

neers, ana u. J. Aiamon oi tne uraer or

issues from tho conferenco between
Director-General Hlnes and the rail
road men," declared "Gov, Allen of Kan
sas to-night, "thero'll bo no railroad
strike In my State. In the first place
tho law forbids It, and ln tho second
placo tho chairman of the Kansas
strike committee of the Railroad Mailt

Clov. Allen declared that Ills State's
new anti-strike and anti-lockout legis
lation made possible his optimism. Ad
dressing tho Chicago Har Association
he described the functions and already
numerous activities of the Kansas
Court of Industrial Relations and then
said that what this court Is doing for
Kansas it easily could do for thu en
tire nation.
"Already we have seven cases on the
ouri uochci and the court Is mi; leu
dAvs old. Three of tliefcn ox-ies were filcil

these cases direct negotiations between
employer and employee failed and. ac
cording to tho law, they havo fetched
their troubles Into this court where mat
ters will be adjudicated. Mtanwhile
work Is going on as usual.
"Tills court Is founded upon the prin
ciple that government should have the
same power to protect society against
the ruthless offences of an industrial
strike that It has to protect against rec
ognized crime."
Poyefrior Allen said that the court had
tho power to determine all Industrial
rontroversiei -which might "threaten to
hinder, delay or supenJ the operation
of such Industries as those nffcetlng
rood, ruci, clothing and transportation.

Washington, Feb. 12. Republican
leaders of the Senate and House ln
conference to-day virtually determined
to Insist on the postponement for one
or two years, or until tho present large
jovernment expenditures "can be re
duced, of all legislation providing for
tho granting of bonuses or other aid
to service men. It ls expected similar
action will be taken on the question of
universal military training because of
tho present need for" economy.
The attitude of the Kepublldans Is
not one of hostility toward' the propo
sition, It was empnasizett, uui me
unanimous belief that the state of(
governmental finances absolutely pro
hibits any legislation along this line
at present.
Iteports that tho American Legion's
representatives are planning to press
next week their demands for a soldier
bonus and tho approval of universal mil
itary training were partly responslDie
for tho action to-day. Llkcwlco there
nro many members of both parties who
havo been urging this legislation,' as
shown by tho numDer of bills Intro
duced. The position of the Republican lead
ers will be presented to the Legion rep
resentatives, and because of the present
financial situation confidence Is ex
pressed on both sides of the Capitol that
the service men will agree to the post
ponement, Inasmuch as a virtual pledgo
will ba given to grant the aid la tho
form of a cash or bond bonus ornoans
to buy farms and homes when the
Treasury Is hi position to 3tand the ap

The action on the bonus question was

Washington, Feb. 12. Aa a result
of tho disposition of the Administra
tion Democrats to regard tho proposed
new reservation to Artlclo X. of tho
Lcnguo of Nations covenant as not a
real effort to compromise, and the fail
ure of Senator Lodge (MasB.), the Re?
publican leader, to find the necessary
sixty-four votes for Its adoption, there
was a noticeable diminution to-day in
tho feeling of optimism over the out
come of the treaty fight.
Senator Hitchcock (Neb.), tho act
ing Democratic lender, expressed his
feelings with unusual frankness thin
afternoon. He said ho was strongly
disposed to leave to the Republicans
the whole task of finding a way' out
of the situation, pointing out that thoy
have the majority, have taken the In
itiative In bringing tho treaty back
before the Senate and now might an

outcome.
Underwood Still Hopeful.
i
Senators Walsh (Mon.) and Hitch
cock held confercneea to-day with
some other Democrats, Including Sen
ators Simmons j(N. C) and Glne.i
(Vn.), about tho situation generally,
and later talked frankly to Interview
ers. They agreed that they never
would accept, as a basts of settlement,
the latest proposed reservation deal
ing with Article X., arid jyew Hltio
disturbed at reports that Senator Un
derwood (Ala.) , was undertaking to
enlist a sufficient 'number of Demo
crats back of that reservation to on
ablo It, with tho Lodge forces, to count
the two-thirds majority.
The report circulated through the Sen
ate that Mr. Underwood had declared
himself In favor of the new Article X.
reservation, and had agreed to present It
to Democrats In the effort to enlist
enough of them to put It through. But
Senator Underwood denied It.
"The facfls," he said, ''that I have
been for two days so b'my with appro
priation matters that I have not kept up
with treaty doings. It Is.true that I have
talked to sorne on our side, but not on
the basis of an effort to produce votes.
I understand, however, that some polls
are being made on both sides of tha
chamber; not, I believe, with regard to
any particular form of reservation, but
to determine If It Is possible to bring tho
necessary number of Senators together
on some basis to get ratification."
More Democrat Favorable.

partmental estimates of about 35,000,

The fact is admitted that the Lodge
reservations, If they come before the
Senate precisely as they were adopted in
November, will get moro Democratic
support than ever before. That does not
mean that they will have a chance to Una

ocrats who would be willing to accept
the Lodge formula admit that It has no
chance of adoption. There are distinct
lines of cleavage among the Democrat
which make unification of the necesaarv

does not make any difference about tho

Senator Thomas said to-day that he
would not only vote against ratifica

economic clauses of the treaty. He
thinks that to ratify It would be a
sacrifice of the national honor quite un
thinkable. In view of the fact that the
treaty repudiated the solemn undertak

States with Germany to make peace on

points and subsequent addresses.
Senator Walsh made olaln that he
thought the attacks on tho treaty's eco
nomic rearrangement of Europe had
come too late. If they had been madu
last summer, when tho President was
fighting ln Paris for a treaty that would
be reasonable and workable, they would
havo sustained the President and might
have enabled him to bring home a better
treaty. But there was no such help for
him when he needed It, and now it is
too late, according to-, the Montana
Senator.
