Sclmltarl,

ABOARD PRESIDENT WILSON'S
SPECIAL, Sept 10.--President Wilson
did not make much of an impress
sion at Omaha. His audience was
interested and occasionally enthusias-
tic, but much of Mr.. Wilson'S argu-
ment went over their heads. The
street crowds showed surprising apathy.
II seemed more like Columbus, o.. than
any other place visited. Little OF the
rip-roaring enthusiasm OF Des Moines
or st, Louis or Kansas City came out
OF the multidues who lined the streets
awe-struck or sat respectfully atten-
tive In the big auditorium.
After the meeting. talked with sew
eral influential Republicans and some
Democrats and the concenEua OF opln-
ion was that Ar. wilson had not ad-
vanced much chat was new or soul
stirring. l inquired whether the peo-
ceding speeches OF the president and
whether the ground work OF HIS argu-
ment was not already familiar TO them
through the newspapers. They said
perhaps that has something 10 do with
II. But they just couldn't tell why Mr.,
Wilson who really set the town going in

that the presidents subject didn't in

Europe would In due course rehabilitate

disinclination to analyslze the treaty
but an impatience TO get out of the
way Practically the same viewpoint
Of the impatience Of the people was
given by some leading Republicans
They couldn't understand the senates

on this issue, but mind you we're not
with Wiison--and II he runs again he
won't get Democratic support either,
was the way they expressed II.
Again and again an undertone OF
political apprehension Is encountered
among Republicans who hesitate to in
dorse Mr.. Wilson's journey or lend
themselves to the processes OF persua-
sion which could helr get the treaty

At the head of the five-mile line rode
the commander Of all soldiers under the
Stars and Stripes. Behind him, as a
guard OF honor, swung "Pershing's 5
own" the composite regiment of 6-foot
infantrymen who had followed him
through the flag -bedecked streets of
foreign capitals.
Enormous crowds have packed Fifth
avenue in days gone by but never in
the clty's history had such a multitude
turned out for any pageant,
The broad avenue was banked from
the far end Of Central park to Wash
ington square with dense masses OF hu-
manity. Thousands stood where there
was room only for hundreds. Myriads
waited for hours under leaden skies,
when they knew they had no hope Of
seeing the procession. Every window
and every roof along the way was
packed with spectators. Countless thou
sands stood at the eastern edge Of Gem
tral park and at least 100000 sat in the
city's grand stand and those erected
by spectators. The cheapest seats
were $500, but the last Of them were
sold hours before the starting bugle
sounded,
