Lane, Edited By His Widow And Publish ed Today. - BOSTON. ' Oct. 2t. (liv tbe Asso cicated i'ress.) A series qf history making letters, describing in detail the American war cabinet and giving au in- 'tiinate picture of Woodrow Wilson as he appeared while presiding -over the secret meetings of his official family, is made public today. The letters;'-written ' by the late Franklin V. Lane, secretary of the interior in this cabinet of -President Wilson from 191U to 1920, have been col lected and edited by his widow' Ann? Wintermute Lane, and have been pub lished by Houghtou M if Ilia Company. The volume is just off the press. The "correspondence reveals, among other things, how , the president fre quently lost putivuee with the tremen dous problems confronting him, and how at other times discouragement crowded him to such n degree that often he was prompted to turn upon his advisers when they failed.to agree with him. The letters give a description of Mr. Wilson's attitude on preparedness be supposo has ever been under this or any he regarded the proixisal to arm mer chant ships, describe his opposition to anything npproaching the "code duello'' spirit at it time when the United States was neutral, and then, when 'great ques tions were pressing for -discussion,, tell how he encouraged his cabinet to talk of trivialities while he went along on his own course to solve the huge problems facing his administration.

' The president said he did not wish see either side win for both had u equally indifferent to the rights of itrals, " Mr. Lane wrote to his brother February-17, 1917, commenting on a ticularly animated cabinet discussion. )n the subject of prepa redness, even ew months liefore the United States ered the war, Mr. Lane quoted Persi- nt Wilson a being "not in sympa- Writiug again to his brother, 'ebruarv 2d. .191 7, Mr. Ijiiic said: "At. our dinner to the president last night he said he was not in sympathy with any great preparedness that F.n- !re would be mad ami money-poor by jtho end of the war." , Continuing, Mr. Lane udded a few observations of his i own. j "The army and the navy are so set and stercot,VH'd and stand-pat that I am almost hopeless as the wise, large and f o moving them to wholesome job," ho wrote.

STATE STEAMSHIP LINE ENTHUSIASM IN BOSTON Governor Morrison's Proposal For State-Owned Coast Wise Ship Line Commended By Boston Officials. BOSTON, Oct, 24. Considerable in terest in being taken in this vicinity in the plans for the organization of n com pany, with the state of North Carol in: as the principal stockholder,, to operate a fleet of steamships between Js'orth Car olina and north Atlantic, ports, as pro posed by Governor Morrison, of the southern commonwealth. The plan, which it is reported will be laid before the North Carolina legisla ture after it convenes in January, was highly praised by officials of the Boston government, the chamber of commerce, the New F.nglnnd Maritime Association, and distinguished men who not only have the interests of New F.ugland at heart but who have sought 'long, and inces santly against freight differentials ana "extortionate ".rates. The propisitlon of Governor Morrison is or special interest xo Aiassacnuseus just at this time. Ex-Mayor Johu F. Fitzgerald, democratic candidate for governor, is wising ins campaign ou just n,:u this issue. : The republican udministra tion in this state, us well s Senator Lodge, have been bittrly criticised for the present deplorable condition of tho port of Boston. The White Star line as well u the Cunard are preparing to abandon this port after 50 years of service. " Kxtortionatc freight rates have ruin ed not only the port of Boston but New Kugland as well," stated Mayor Curley this afternoon, "Only recently I was forced to go into tho south to purchase coke for our municipal coal yards. Freight rates were such that we could not even attempt to haul "iU.OOO tons over the road. " ; "I spent two days in search of ships and two days more arguing with the sec retary of the navy before 1 could get government fchips to bring the coke here. " Philadelphia, Baltimore and south ern rates are impossible anil it's high time that some action was taken. Gov ernor Morrison, of North Carolina, can depend ou Massachusetts arid Boston for any possible ussistancu anil co opera- "Governor Morrison is to be -commended most highly for . . advancing this plan," declared ex-Mayor J-'itr-gerald. "For years and years I have fought theso miserable freight rates. We have just completed weeks of hearings before, a commission from Washington in an at tempt to secur some reasonable adjust ment, some justice, but what was ac complished.' Nothing. "New Lnglnud business and 'shipping have long been crucified by unjust freight rates until tho port of Boston and New York as a trade center have ben commercially ruined, "Thin is tho one issue I am busing my campaign for governor upon and naturally the plan of Governor Morrison interests me very muchc. " New Kiigland interests will greet the North Carolina plan with intense satisfaction.- There is not the slightest .doubt 'of that." "No section of the I'nited States has suffered more through extortionate freight rates than bus New Knglaml," stated au official of the ehamlter of com merce. "Long have we sought some solution without success. The North Carolina plan will meet' with instant approval here, und hearty co-oK-ration whenever ami wherever possible." B0NAR LAW'S CABINET IS SWORN IN TODAY LONDON. Oct. 2.1. (By the Asso ciated I'ress.) The cabinet of Prime Minister Andrew Bonur Law was sworn in at .Buckingham Palace this morning. As a result of the taking of the oath of office the members of the cabinet began to function as the new government im mediately. With this act, the coalition ministry of former Premier . Lloyd George . offi cially passed info history. Karl Grey and members of his late cabinet went tu Buckingham .Palace and surrendered their seats of office to the king. The ministers of Mr. Bonar Law's new gov ernment received the samo symbols of power in turn from the hands of their monarch. Thus closed one of the most exciting eiKichs of the political history of Knglaml. King George,' having at tended to all the necessary . 'functions in Ithe changing of-the ministry,'. returned to Sandringham to join the royal family. Except for the opening of another chap ter fraught with equally interesting pos sibilities, including that of the election ranipagn, the country would be prepared to settle down to that tranquility which has been -made the chief cornerstone, of the new conservative political temple.
