Washington. May 16.-President Wilson
tonight made public a frank and intimate
review of his three years In the White
House and his impressions of foreign and
domestic problems which he delivered
confidentially last night at the National
Press Club. He spoke of the difficulties
of the presidency and particularly of the
motives which have guided his handling
of the European situation.
America, the President said, is for peace
because she loves peace and believes the
present war has carried the nations en-
gagged 80 far that they cannot be held to
ordinary standards of responsibility" But,
be one of the great nations of the world
and therefore must act more or less
from the point of view Of the rest of the
world
eff I cannot retain my moral influence
over a man except by occasionally knock
ing him down." he said, eff that is the
only basis of which he will respect me,
then for the sake of his soul, have got
occasionally to knock him down.
The President declared that he had
heen kept awake nights considering the
European situation because there might
come time when the United States
would have to do what did not desire to
do And the great burden on my spirits
has been that it has been up to me to
choose when that time came" He added
that he did not conveve that he had been
elected President to do as | pleased. If
7 were. it would have been very much
more interesting he said.
Impressions of public men as a class
were given frankly by the President with
the comment that some were great and
some sweled. He also discussed the re-
lations of the newspapers to the affairs
of the nation and sounded warning that
false information about foreign affairs
was more than likely to lead to trouble.
In domestic matters" said the Pres
ident during his address. Il think l can
in most cases come pretty near guess
where the thought Of America is go
ing; but in foreign affairs the chief
element where action is going on in
other quarters Of the world, and not
where thought is going on in the Unit
ed States Therefore I have several
times taken the liberty Of urging upon
you, gentlemen, not yourselves to
know more than the State Department
knows about foreign affairs. Some OF
you have shown a singular range OF
omniscience. and certain things have
been reported as understood in admin
!strative circles which have not heard

to decisions which are said to be my

munication at all.

ObregOn's Attitude

General Obregon, it is learned, enter
ed the conference with much apprehen-
sion as to the real purpose Of General
Pershings swift march into Mexico in
pursuit Of Villa and his raiders. In
Mexican eyes. it is said. 1t seemed as
though a great force armed with can
non and all impedmenta of war could
not be moving merely in pursuit Of ons
bandit chief and his handful of follow.
ers. Undoubtedly Obregon reflected
fears felt in Mexico City that the ex-
petition was in reality step toward in
PREVENTION by the United States.
The American conferees were able TO
convince the Mexican war minister and
through him Gen. Carranza. that Presi-
dent Wilson's announcement Of the pur-
pose of the expedition told the whole
story that it's mission was only as de-
scribed. to dispense or capture the BAN
dts and return across the lines. The
striking accomplishment Of Gems. Scott
and Funston lay in the fact that they
succeeded in doing this without making
any pledges as to when American troops
would be recalled.
The change in Gen. Ohregon's view
was clearly indicated by promises he
ence. promises approved by Gen. Car
rama and which he is now carrying out
with promptitude and vigor, according
to official reports from army officers and
consular officers in Mexico. II Is these

Mahaney's Statement

Rowland B. Mahaney, federal com
missioner of Cancellation, in making
the announcement, said that the wage
dispute was happily adjusted and that
the men would continue work in ac-
cordance with their acceptance of the
proposition presented by General
Manager Bardo of the road. Mr.. Bar
dos proposition included an increase
of GA per cent. in wages. Mr. Maha-
ney said:
While all that the men demanded
was not conceded by the management
a substantial increase in wages and
some appreciate benefits in working
conditions were granted The accept
and when decided upon was made in
the best possible spirit, arguing well
for the permanence Of pleasant rela-
lions between the employers and the
men. | cannot speak too highly OF the
consideration exhibited in a most diff
ficult and perpleXing situation by the
representatives of both sides. Perhaps
the most complete presentation of the
settlement is set forth in the letter
dressed for delivery to Mr.. Brado, as
follows:
"'After carefully considering Mr..
Barie's proposition of yesterday as COM
pared with the one which, through you,
he submitted today and which we In
formed you could not be accepted we
have decided in the interest of peace
and in the furtherance of an amicable
adjustment of the controversy to with
draw our rejection of the proposition
submitted yesterday by Mr.. Bardo and
to accept the same.
while naturally not entirely salts
fed with many of the features and
provisions of the proposition which we
thus accept, we deem it preferable to
forego certain advantages which we be-
lieve we ought to have and receive
rather than precipitate a commercial
and industrial struggle which would in
evitably interfere with the business
prosperity not only of all the New
England states but in an appreciate
degree also of the country at large.
You are, therefore, authorized to
communicate this acceptance to Gen.
Manager Bardo and to assure him that
while not satisfied in all respects. we
are nevertheless glad to give this ex-
ample Of cooperation in the effort to

on the army reorganization bill as

which with staff troops, scouts, etc.

organized would total $4,000, making
a total Of 7ls,5oo available.

very few questions in cross examina-
