WASHINGTON Nov. lit. A por-
tcntioas and complicated inter-
national slln ution now fates President
Wilson and for the next few weeks
will engage his attention and that of
his advisors to the practical exdu-
Hion of nil bin the most urgent of
domestic subjects.
In tile last days of the campaign
Pceretary l-ansliig frequently spoke of
Hie necessity of postponing action on
the more delicate International iiies-
teins le'a ise tUe uncertainty of the
outcome of the political contest had
a dlroct heai inn on I he success or
failure of some of the administration
policies.
I no Hand Now!
From now on the president ex ee(
to deal with all foreign questions with-
out embarrassment und he is receiving
from his advisors i summary e.f the
uutstantliiiK issues sir essential lo tak-
ing stoel: of the basic situation which
must be met now that international
relations have returned to their place
of Importance. While It Is not evi-
dent that there will be any funda-
mental change in policy freedom from
fear that any move at all would be
misinterpreted ns inspired by an in-
ternal political struggle has been re-
moved. President Wilson nnd Secre-
tary Lansing feel themselves able to
. net with a single eye to the Inter-
national situation and their Immedi-
ate conferences on the president's re-
turn to Washington indicate how
pressing they feel the situation to be.
Rig Problems l'p.
Tho president must decide how the
United States shall meet the Herman
submarine question on the one hand
and the entente allied trade restric-
tions on the other whe'.her the re-
taliatory legislation shall be enforced
whether tho traditional theory of Iso-
lation shall be abandoned for con-
certed neutral action and whether the
country shall have an aggressive or
a passive policy toward the peace con-
ference the war after the war and
the permanent league to enforce peace
which the president has accepted in
theory. And during the rest of the
war shall America attitude be gov-
erned bv a decided benevolence In the
Interpretation of International law ac-
cording to its own best Interests or
shall It be strictly legalistic regard
less of whom it affects
Complications Looming.
Most .pectueular and disquieting of
the problems Is the stibium ine ques

are pending one Involving a loss of
six American Pves two otners in

ment covered a distance of nearly two

ELECTION LAW ISSUE
I Man of Action to Contest
Results to Me Worked

Sporiiil to Tho Worlil.
OKLAHOMA CITY. Nov. 10. Tho
si ssioti of the Republican state
central committee hero Monday prom-
ises to be one of tht most interesting
that has been held for some tlmo.
The real purpose of the gathering
is to i n t 1 1 n ej a plan of action in refer-
ence to a proposed contest In tho fair
election law results.
However there are other matters
that may be Injecte I into tho meet-
ing. For some time there l.as been
cm sulci able dissatisfaction about the
conduct of Chairman Arthur flelssler.
It stems that hu has been unable to
harmonlc some small fiu-tiotis exist-
ing In the parly since the Mcliraw-
ilarrls conlest; and it Is reported
openly that the executive committee
Is not working In harmony with tile
present chairman.
Tin re has been some talk about John
I . Appleby causing a row because he
was demoied from the state secretary-
ship and it is well known Unit he
tried to cause dissension al the last
cominiltce meeting Just prior to the
election. It is not thought probable
however that he will piafve t0 he fac-
tor enough to cause any serious trou-
ble. There are many members of the
committee who will not stand for the
.removal of Mr. Kncelanil In favor of
I Mr. Appleby and In case the in. liter
did eiiine to a clash a third man will
I be selected as secretary.
It Is not altogether Imptobuble thai
the re will be many members of the
i eomiiiillee ill Oklahoma Clly who w ill
j be open in ilielr declaration that the
committee needs an entire leorganl-
.atlon Including a new chairman sec-
I rotary and certain members of the
i xeentlv e roinmiiiee.
While some members of the com-
mittee ami other prominent Kepublle-
ails w ho have the welfaie of I he party
at heart are already ill Oklahoma City
