By EDWARD W. piCKARD
WOODROW r WILSON'S death,
which occurred on the morning
of Sunday, February 8, cast a shadow
of gloom over the entire country. For
three days, while the body of the great
Idealist lay In , the family home In
Washington, the business of the nation
was almost at a standstill, for con
gress was In recess. Qij Wednesday
afternoon the remains of the twenty
eighth president toere laid .to rest in
the crypt of the National cathedral]
and for one minute the natlon'stood si
lent- and facing the east. Everywhere,
IK America and In foreign landss flags
were at half staff; and. in many cities
memorial, services were held. It was,"
nn impressive- tribute .to one who, as
the years pass, '. .will be . gjv^n yev
greater recognition . for ? his devotea
work for humanity.
Only in Germany and Italy was the'
tribute refused. ] Germans' hate Mr.;
WlTfcoh's memory, because jthej believe,
lie , led" - them to /'surrender by . false
pr(oml/5ea. Italians cannot forgive him
for his refusal to permit thefl* to grab
Flume and Albania as spoils war.f
The German : embassy In W&shingtop'.
had ^he unenviable distinction of belngi
the onlj^one whose flag was not flown'
at half staff until the afternoon of the-'
funeral.', "This was In harmony with;
lnstructlpns from Berlin, but It was;
said In that city tjiat Ambassador,
Wledfeldt might be recalled because'
of the Incident. ? , '
'The services for Mr. Wilson In his
home were private, attended only" by
President Coolldge and the relatives'
and .close friends. Then, through the'
silent city "''the- funeral procession
moved slowly to Mount St. Alban,
where- standi 4he-an&nlshed Protestant'
Eplscopftf cathedral. In the Bethle
hem chapel gathered a throng of not-;
able personages of this and other
countries, and all about the altar and;
the casket were heaped the many
floral wreaths, shields and clusters
that expressed the sorrow of nations
and organizations and Individuals. The
casket was -carried In by three sol-'
dlers, three Bailors and two. marines ?
the same men who bore the cotlln of ]
President Harding last August. Among'
the honorary pall bearers were former
associates of Woodrow Wilson In col-,
lege and In official life. Bishop Free
man conducted the simple services, the.
choir ^ang as recessional "The strife
1 8 o'er, the battle done, the victory of
life Is won ; the song of triumph la be
5un." T^hen, after the chapel had
?lowly emptied, a slab In the aisle was
raised and the cbsket was lowered Into
the vault beneath.' Accompanied by'
the members of the family, Mrs. Wil
son entered the crypt, and as the final
part of the burial service was recited
there came from without the music of
ps, sounded by Staff Sergeant
Wltchey of the Third cavalry, on the
same bugle he used In sbundlng taps
at the tomb of the Unknown Soldier
on Armistice day of 1021. The call
was echoed by another bugle far across
at the shrine at Arlington.
WHEN the senate resumed Its sit
tings Thursday after the three
day recess the fight to get Secretary
of the Navy Denby out of the cabinet
was renewed with vigor. The Demo
crats and some of the Insurgent Re
publicans were determined to pnss the
resolution asking the Prescient to call
for Denby's resignation. That gentle
man Issued a long defense of his i
course in relation to the oil lenses.
"When 1 came into office." he said, "I
was very shortly convinced that the
(TIT rraprve tanrls which trad been set
aside by congress for the benefit of
lie navy were being drained by pri
vately owned wells adjolnlnc those j
reserves. M.v conviction that these
lands were being drained was tiased
upon a number of reports and state- I
ments of those who knew ? govern
mental nnd other experts."
He told how and why the transfer ,
of the naval oil reserves to the In
terior department was made and about
the provisions for storage tanks at
points where the naval experts
thought tHey should be located. In
conclusion he said : "I affirm that the
leases were legal and did carry out
the expressed wlllv of congress. . They
prevented the further loss of millions (
of dollars' worth of oil. They placed
oil on the coast and In the Hawaiian
Islands, where It could be reached
quickly tn case of emergency. Thty
greatly increased the power of the
'navy to defend the United States,
which* In Its essence Is Its principal
duty.", ; ?
Albert B? Fall having refused to
eatlfy further before the senate pftm
rnlttee on the ground that he might
'ncrlnrlnate himself and that the com
mittee'- had lost Its authority to con
tinue the Inquiry, the committee de
cided, on advice of Special Counsel
Strawn and Pomerene, not . to permit
lilm to testify unless he. waived Im
munity. This presages drastic ac
tion against Fall later. Subpoenas for
many other witnesses were issued and
it was said the committee was to
bring about , further startling dis
closures.
William G. McAdoo arrived In Wash
ington and it was understood that hei
would -be given the. chance he asked
to explain t<5 the' committee the na- 1
ture df, the services he gave to Dohenyjj
In return for $160,000. No one doubts
that tjiose services were entirely'
legitimate, but McAdoo's best friends;
do not deny tbpt his candidacy for
the presidential nomination has suf
fered a severe blow. similar case'
Is Thfe'odore Roosevelt. His Connec
tion* with the oil affairs was of -the
slenderest, yet It Is ?aid that his
gubernatorial boom in New York Btate
Is waning fast. Not Justice nor fair
ness, but unreasoning public senti
ment rules in both Instances.
py\.VlD LLOYD GEORGE 'ha*
A-' aroused a lot of animosity by a
badly timed Interview In ' which he'
tells of his recent discovery of "a se
cret compact" signed In April, 1919, ,
between Woodrow Wilson and former
Premier Clemenceau concerning the
occupation of the Rhlneland., He salt! :
"I always have been attacked as the
villain in the piece. I have Just re- !
celved. the documents from the foreign
office. The French now wish tt> pub
lish an agreement between Mr. Wilson
and M. CJemenceau and desire me to
agree/ This 1b a little late to ask my
consent. I never have seen the docu
ments before."
Thjq British foreign office says Lloyd
George's story Is Inaccurate; that the
French government wished to publish
a . "Yellow Book" containing certain
documents connected with the drafting
of some articles of the treaty of Ver
sailles and asked the permission of
the British government; that the lat
ter as a matter of courtesy first sent
the proof sheets to Lloyd George, and
that' he did not reply or return the
proof sheets. M. Clemenceau and An
dre Tardleu warmly deny the truth of
Lloyd George's statements. The for
mer says : "If Lloyd George will pro
duce a secret agreement between Wil
son and me, I will pay the repara
tions." Tardleu told the chamber of
deputies : "The text that Mr. AVIlsoil
accepted on April 20 at f p. m. In
conversation with M. Clemenceau and
myself had been In the hands of Lloyd
George as well as those of Mr. Wilson
for 15 days. It was the same text tl\at
Lloyd George. absent f-om I'arls on
the 20: h. nccepted on the morning of
the 22d after a last resistance. The
clauses In question became articles
428 to 432 of the treaty of Versailles."
It appears that the former prime
minister has done the cause of Inter
national amity a dj- sen Ice and has
not displayed hts customary tact.

PRIME MINISTER MACDONALU
of Great Britain says the British
recognition of the Russian soviet gov
ernment is absolute and ^vithotfl quib
bles. He also says both Russia and
.Germany must be admitted to mem
bership In the League of Rations and
that he believes France "wlU consent
to this. Concerning British relations
with France, he says the "hesitating
and negative attltujJ?" of the British
government has been abandoned. Al
ready, at his suggestion, the French gov
ernment lias agreed to quit its sup
port of the separatists In tHe Palat-.
lnate and the Rhlneland. This; auto
matically answers a strong protest
sent last week by Berlin to Paris com- -
plaining of the French aid to the
separatists and demanding" that con
ditions In the Palatinate be re-estab- ,
llghed in accordance with the treaty..
Germany also asks the withdrawal of

that it Is planning to march on Mos
