There are certain additions, each one expensive, which add

, When tln? cabinet met on (Vctober 5,
\?s?fph I' Tumult/* private McretHry to
lie president, lattuod a formal statement
xplaiuing the ivasoua for the confer
micc. He ?aid:
"The cabinet was called t> consider
?uesllons in which more than one tie
larUncut was concerned and also discus*
ho industrial conference, lie referred
o the tirwt conference called l?y the pre**
'dent with the hope of nll?y4ng the in*
biatrial mirest."
In his statement, Mr, Tumulty said
ihat Hear Admiral (J ray son, Mr Wilson's
;>hj"^Ician,s wan present and "suggested
'hat only urgent matters be brought to'
'Jhe president's attention.
Thereafter until this week, the cabi?
net met more or less regularly. During
the coal strike it met twice' a week in
in eRVirt to avert the waik out of the
miners and several week# agu it was
'ieeided to have meetings every Tuesday
and Friday.
During the oo>al wage controversy the
president was said at the White House
to have been advised of the meetings
find to have been kept informed as to
the progress his advisers were nmking
towards a settlement of the ooOtrovysy.
He fiwaMy took the mwtter out or the
cabinet's bands and suggested a settlo
ment wliich tlie miners accepted.
The correspondence between the presi
dent and Mr. Lansing, which resulted
in Mr. I>unsiug's resignation was made
public Friday night at the state depart
ment an hour after Under Secretary Polk
had conferral at the White Hojise with
Secretary Tumulty., ?
Mr, I/auMiug, in his final letter to the
president." said that "in thus severing
?ur official association" lie felt that he
hou-ld make public a statement he had
M'epared recent'y slewing that he had
'?iot been unmindful that the continu
ance of our present relations was impos
:bV and that it was his duty to bring
hem to Jin cud "at tin; earliest moment
'nmpntm'e with the public interest ''
"Ever since January, 1010," Mr. lean
ing contiuucd, I have been conscious of
he fact that you no longer were disposed
welcome my advice in matters pertain
'ig to the negotiations at Paris, to oUr
V>reign service, or to international nf
i.irs in (general.
He .added that had he followed bis
?>erson<al inc'ination he would have re
trained because he felt*it his duty to
"cause you no embarrassment in carry
log forward the great task iu which you
vere then eng>a?'<?d." /
Again Mr. Tensing said that while
he had been "surprised and disappoint
ed" at the frequent disapproval of his
suggestion, he had never failed fco follow
the president's decisions, "however dif
ficult it made the conduct o'f our for
?ign affairs."
Mr, T.-a using accompanied the presi
dent to Pari? in D.vemlber, 1018, ax one
of that American peace delegates, but
Vs friends have said that white Mr.
Wilson was at the peace conference.,
Mr. Jyansing was virtually without au-'
?hority and that naturally he felt this
keenly, since the other allied and asso
ciated countries were represented by the
nremiers and not the heads of their gov
ernments.
Mr. Lansing finally returned from
T*aris bofore the work of the American
peace delegation was concluded being sue-]
ceded by Frank L. Polk, under secre
tary of state. The friction between him
self and Mr. Wi'son continued after he
fame hack to Washington.
During the president's {liness the Mex-1
:can issue again came to the front with
?he kidnapping and subsequent arrest of j
American Oonsu'nr Agent Jenkins in
Mexico After the Jenkins case had been
discussed at cabinet meeting presided
?wer by Mr. Lansing, the state depart
ment sejrt a note to Oarranza bluntly
'varning him that further "molestation"
^f Jenkins would "seriously affect the re
'at.ions of the United States and Mexico,
'or which the government of Mexico muBt"]
ifisimip moIc responsibility.
President Wilson was advised of a]
-ituation which apparently had grown
?>eute, and he was said at the time to
have p^rsonaMy takeq charge of the mat
ter. Tlie Mexican government delayed
ts rep'y for some time, and ?ubso*rucnt
v Jenkins was released on bail furnished
Sy J. SaHer Ilansfn without the consu-1
'nr agent's knowledge. Jenkins' case
Hill is pending -in Mexican courts, hav-;
'ng been transferred from the Puebla 1
*ti\te court to the Fedoral supreme coyrt,
which the state department bad contend
ed was the only tribunal which had
jurisdiction in the ease. No further|
actfnn has been taken by the American
tovernment so far as had been announ
ced.
While a few members of the cabinet
have conferred with Mr. WUson since
he was taken IB, H was said tonight that
whatever burines* he had had with thej
president had been carried on by daily |
?orre^mndence.
Hof??re the prMtdeot left 6u l?in wo*t

Every time we sell an EMERY Shirt, we try to call our
customer's attention to some of the details that are going
to give him such complete satisfaction.
An important feature found only on EMERY Shirts is
the EMERY Nek-ban-tab. You know how annoying it is to be
compelled to pick and fumble at the back collar-buttonhole,
when it comes home from the laundry, starched down tight.
That's when you're thankful fnr the Emery Nrk-han-tah.
A little pull on the tab, shown in illustration, and the but
* V (
tonhole is open instantly f">r the collar-button to slip right in.
The beautiful EMERY designs speak for themselves,
of course. But we like our customers to realize that the
perfectly balanced patterns in fronts and cufFs are the result
of real shirt-craftsmanship and not of accident.
The $nefty Nrk-ban~tab
described in another paragraph, is
here shown in detail. One little
pull and you're in "high gear" for
inserting your back collar-button.
And that's usually the time you
want all the ?pe6d there is?when
you're changing to a fresh shirt.
Other EMERY features are the firmly fastened clear pearl buttons ; seams closely
stitfched with l>est thread ; buttonholes that don't break out.
Although we sell the best of nil men's furnishing's, we sell nothing we can recom
mend more siiipcxely than Shirts.
