Lane, Secretary of the Interior in the Cabinet of President Wilson from 1918 to 1920. have been collected and ediled by his widow, Anne Wintermute Lane, and have been published by Houghton Mifflin Company, The volume is just off the press. ‘The correspondence reveals, among other things, how the President fre- quently lost patience with the tre- mendous problems confronting him and how at other times discourage- ment crowded him to such a degree that he was prompted to turn bitterly upon his advisers when they failed to agree with him. The letters give a description of | Mr. Wilson's attitude on prepared- ness before America entered the war, tell how he regarded the proposal to atm merchant ships, describe his op- position to anything approaching the “code duello” spirit at a time when the United States was nevtral and then, when great questions were pressing for decision, tell how he en- couraged his Cabinet to talk of trivi- alities while he Went along on his own. course to solve the huge problems facing his Administration. “The President said he didn't wish to see either side win, for both had been equally indifferent to the rights of neutrals,” Mr. Lane wrote to his brother on Feb, 17, 1917, commenting on a particularly animated Cabinet discussion. On the subject of preparedness, a few months before the United States entered the war, Mr, Lane quoted President Wilson as being “not in sympathy.” Writing again to his brother, Feb. 16, 1917, Mr. Lane said: “At our dinner to the President last night he said he was not in sympathy with any great preparedness—that Europe would be mad and money- poor by the end of the war.” Con- tinuing, Mr. Lane added a few obser- Miicne oS ae fe army and navy are so set and stereotyped and standpat that I am almost hopeless as to moving them to the wise, large and whole- some job," he wrote, ‘They are gov- erned by red tape worse than any union. The Chief of Staff fell asleep at our meeting to-day. Mrs, and Morpheus in one.” Again to his brother, Feb, 25, Seo- mtary Lane wrote: “On Friday we] had one of the most animated sessions of the Cabinet that I suppose has ever been held under this or any other President. it all arose out of a very innocent question of mine as to whether it was true that the wives of American Consuls on leaving Ger- many had been stripped naked, given an acid bath to detect writing on thelr flesh and subjected to other in- dignittes. “Lansing answered that it was true, Then I asked Houston about the bread riots in New York.

The President turned on them bitterly, espectally on McAdoo, and reproached all of us with appeal- Ing to the spirit of the ‘code duello.’ We couldn't get the {dea out of his head that we were bent on pushing the country into war, Houston talked of resigning after the meeting. Mc- Adoo will—within a year, I believe. I tried to smooth them down by re- calling our past experiences with the President, We have had to push and push to get him to take any forward step.
