(Special to The Guardian.)

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.—~A new element oi‘ explanation for the sen- sational ‘ejection from the Cabinet of Secretary of State Lansing by President Wilson developed today in high official quarters. it was reported that one, it‘ not the most impelling reason i‘or the action of the President, was the selection ol‘ Elihu Root, presumably after the Stntp Department ‘had been sound- ed out, as the “distinguished man from America" to aid in the form-

ation of ii constitution for the course 0t‘ international justice in accordance with the plans of the

member States of the ‘League of Nations.

Mr. Roofs selection, while made some time ago, was not formally announced until the recent meeting of the council of the League in London. The gossip in diplomatic circles to the effect that the Presi- dent was not asked whether he thought the appointment of Mr. Root was suitable, chiefly becausei the council under the treaty is ireei to name whoever it thinks best. United States diplomats overseas, though. knew long in advance of the official announcement of Mr. Roofs appointment, that he had been selected for the position and they naturally communicated the information to the State Depart.- nient while in the best informed circles the belief that Viscount Grey's letter was the spark that started‘ the White House bonfire per
