The hand of fate which gave vie- tory to the Republican party at the polls last Tuesday has suddenly im- printed itself on the situation in the TUnited States Senate as it affects leaders and committee chairmen, something hardly less important than anything which happened in the election of a new Congress last week. The death of Senator Lodge means no mere ing of w veteran Sena tor. Nor does It signif simply the addition of a younger fil'llu(ihl’ n\‘lh(\ administration group from New Eng- land.

The Idaho Scnator has been opposed to many administra- tion polic ncluding that on Rus- mia. but on foreign policy. too, the Ropublican party and the administra- tion needs not an obstructionist, but an aggressive leader. Senator Forah is a ! person and a daring perso He is flexible and the administration will get more done with Borah's co-operation than with his opposition. Senator Borah is the ranking mem- ber of the judiciary committee, but, s between that and foreign relations he Is more likely to choose the lat- ter. Senator Hiram Johnson of Cali- forn‘a will succeed Senator Sterling as chairman of the immigration com- mittee and Senator Cummins prob- ably will g0 back to the chairman- ship of the committee on interstate commerce after March 4 when his duties as presiding officer of the Senate are ended and Charles G. Dawes bacomes Vice President. When Senator Borah becomes chair- man of the Senate foreign relations committee he leaves as his successor in the judiciary committee, Senator George W.

This xives the Western Progressives an- other commit chairmanship, but so far vital legislation is con- cerned the only important shake ups are those which affect the Senate committee on interstate commerce and the foreign relations committee.

By the Associated Press, EW YORK, November 10.-—Sev- eral hundred lcading Jews of New York and various parts of the United States assembled at the home of Adolph Lewisohn here yesterday to organize a national campaign for the raising of a $1,000,000 fund for the economic _rehabilitation of Jews in easten Europe. The movement, known as the O. R. T. fund, has for its object the transforming of Jewish traders and business men, who have been ruined by war, pogroms and anti-Semitic boycotts, into artisans, mechanics and tillers of the soil.

It will be difficult to fill his place In the Senate. No man in the country was more fa- millar with our forelgn relations, of which he had made a special study.” Senator Swanson of Virginla, rank- ing Democratic member of foreign relations committee, said: the death of Senator Lodge the courn try has sustained a distinct loss, No man in public life was more thor- { oughly acquainted with our very gov- ernmental affairs and no one was more potential in the Senate. Espe- clally was he conversant with our foreign affairs—as much so as any man in the country. He knew both the details and the broad policy con- nected with the foreign relations of the government. He was a clear and forceful speaker, with.a veln of sar- casm most effective. He was skill- ful as Republican leader, having t diplomacy and ability to hold t gether two discordant elements of that party when possible, as to accomplish effective legislative re- sults.

He was an extremely industrious man and possessed an unusually retentive memory. He has been conspicuously identified with the consideration of practically all the important legisla- tive enactments of Congress during the past 30 years. “In fact, Senator Lodge was the best trained legislator with whom 1 have been associated, and, Whether or not one agreed with him in all of his opinions, his importance in the public life of a nation cannot be overestimated.

Town, Home of Senator Since Boy- hood, Pays Tribute. By the Associnted Press. "NAHANT, Mass., November 10.—THe bells on public buildings in this town, home of Henry Cabot Lodge since boyhood, rang at 15-minute intervals today. Although he usually spent his Win- ters in Boston when not in Washing- ton or abroad, Senmator Lodge was always regarded as a resident of Nahant. It was from Nahant that he first entered public life, winning an election to the Legislature in 1879. He was frequently seen on horse- back riding along the streets of the town or across the beach to Lynn. On such excursions, kept up until his {llness last Summer, he was always unattended. He loved the sport and often .said that conversa- tion spoiled horseback riding for him. He was moderator of the annual town meeting for years. Except on the occasion when the League of Nations discussion was in progress in the Senate and this year, when the condition of his health pre- vented, he had not permitted any other interest to interfere with his dutes as moderator in presiding at the annual town meeting. From his position as leader of the United States Senate and one of the outstanding figures in national af- fairs,.he would return to his home town and preside at discusslons re- garding the emall routine of a little New England town, and the town meeting frequently was turned into a homecoming reception for Nahant's dietinguished citizen. He also served the town as a trustee for many years. — Mrs. G. 0. Knapp Dies on Ship. GLEN FALLS, N. Y, November 10.— Mrs. George O.
