"jT'T Left to right: Uoyd George of England, Orlando of Italy, Clemenceau of Franca and Wilson of America. ' (By Central Fress) LONDON. Oct. 24.--The laet of the "Big, Four' hai gone the way of hla predecessors: Truly, fame ia fickle and fleeting The four great men who guided the destinies of their respective na tions and of the world In the world war, Orlando of Italy, Clemenceau of France, Wilson of the United States and Lloyd George of Great Britain, are no more politically sseaKlngr. ... A few short years ago Clemen ceau, "The Tiger" was hailed as the "Saviour of France. Wilson was acclaimed as the champion of world democracy: Orlando was the hero of Italy, and Lloyd George was pronounced the greatest of the great. And where are they now, Or lando, wartime Premier of Italy, whose patriotic stand almost broke up the Versailles Conference and caused him to be hailed as a na tional hern in Italv. was the first kAa fall from the pedestal of ppp- ular favor. . , - j It- His Cabinet . resigned Jn June, Al19. Since then Orlando has sel- iS dom been mentioned as a figure in Votary's affairs. , With the fall of nis ministry unanuo sunK into uo livion that, perhaps, never will be lifted. . France followed Italy's example In repudiating the man she had onoe hailed as "Saviour." In Jan uary following the political death ; or Orlando. Premier Georges Clem enceau suffered a similar. fate. The lion-hearted Frenchman, as much responsible as anyone for the allied victory In the world war, was de nied a vote of confidence in the French Chamber of Deputies, and he too stepped out of office, a o ltitical outcast. Clemenceau is a fighter. His title, "the Tiger," bestowed upon him for his relentless antagonism to Germany, shows that, but it is doubtful if tje ever will return to power in France. The chief ob stacle In his path is his advanced age and it la doubtful if his am bitions lie In that direction. "The Tiger" can forget politics and live contentedly In the knowl edge that he, more than anyone else saved his beloved France from another 1870. In the case of President Wllon the handwriting on the wall was visible sometime before the elec tion of 1920 overwhelmed him. his candidate, party- and principles. Hailed as the world's saviour in London and Paris at the. close, of Ike itfar his "tjopularltyV gradually waned. Then the United States Semite repudiated the Treaty of Versailles and the League of Na tions, twins of Wilson's brain.

He joined his colleagues of the "Big Four" in comparative oblivion. , . . Will he come back where the others have not? He is a fighter perhaps not of the type of Clem enceau but a fighter nevertheless, and it Is just as possible that the coming general elections in Brit ain may return him to power. .

The one achievement of the Hard ing administration about whlcn Republicans have boasted loudest and longest the Disarmament Conference has so far proved to be only a flivver. The avowed pur pose ot the Conference was to re duce governmental expenditures by reducing- armaments, and when Mr. Hughes proposed his plan for scrapping a limited number of first Una arshlps, he was acclaim ed a great statesman, and again mentioned for the presidency. Th trusting people foresaw an Immediate reduction In govern ment taxation and believed that the first step had been taken for a general reduction of armaments hy all nations. The Washington Disarmament Conference, however, like most of the acts of the Hard ing administration, only raised the hopes of the people without ful fillment. It served the temporary political purpose of helping to re store & fast of waning confidence in the Chief Kxutlv. But no battleships have b. en st rapped, no expenditures hava leen reduced by reason theraof, aid ths public ! now Informed by the Haoratary of the Navy that no battleships will lie scrapped until tha treaty has been ratified by the last of ths sub scribing powers. Neither r ranee nor Italy haa ratified ths treaties and so far aa knuwn no Influence nor pressure ha been brought to bear upon them to do so. Mr. Hughes has been excursloning to Houth America. Mr. Harding ha been busy with Ohio politics. It is not strange that tha admin istration has shown no anxiety shout accomplishing practical re suits through the complete rati fication of these treaties. Mr. Harding and hla advisors wars long opposed to the tMsarmament Con- li-ren.e, which w,n culled Int.i be l"K by .1 resolution of Penator Hota!) nn.l supported t.y Iipiiio rrals mid ProKresHive llrpubllcana.
