LEAGUE OF NATIONS.

MARKED DIFFERENCES AMONG U. S. REPUBLICANS.

Washington. July 19.-There is an atmosphere of Republican rout in Washington to-day. The premature forebodings about the disintegration of the Republican ranks have come true, and now there is enough evidence of divergence of opinion and desire to separate from the Republican lock led by Senator Lodge to justify the plain statement that the developments of the week find the Republican side of the Senate exactly as predicted by Senator Hitchcock weeks ago, when be said that be convinced that his Republican opponents were hopelessly divided.

Several factors have contribu:- ed. Perhaps the most precipitous is the effect of the return of the President, which daily has been more pronounced around the Capitol. His influence, bis inter- pretations and explanations have directly or indirectly brought members of the opposition to a point of declaration and these decisions, whether publicly made or in private, have drawn others with them. Directly after Senator Colt's speech onThursday.Senator Kenyon, Republican-Progressive. privately said that he would make his own declaration of viewpoint soon, and that it probably would follow the general lines laid down by his colleague from Rhode Island.

Senator Kenyon, Republican. of Iowa, is one of the strongest members of the group of middle- western Senators who have been reticent about following the lead of their fellow-Progressive, Senator Borah. In fact, it has been known that they entertained no such denunciatory views of the League and the President's programme as he daily expounds. And the decision of Senator Ken yon, the able Chairman of the Senate Committee on Education. and Labour. is expected to be the keynote of the action of a number of Progressives who have been close to him and with whom he has been in frequent conference. Senator Kenyon was among those invited to visit the President. yesterday at the White House: the other callers were Senator Capper. of Kansas: Senator Kellogg, Minnesota; Senator McNary. Oregons all of whom are source of worry to Senator Lodge, when he attempts to count votes repudiating the work of the Americ in Peace Delegation.
