1T means the rejection of the trea-
ty," said Mr.. Wilson. and the crowd
at Cheyenne listened in solemn awe.
Mr.. Wilson's threat to regard the
reservation on article x as a rejection
OF the treaty Is not an empty one.
He has fully considered the conse-
quences of his statement. He was in
clined to go as far as that in his Salt
Lake speech, but absence of definite
advices concerning the Senate's in
tentions may have swerved him from
his original purpose. At any rate. he
made the issue clear when he reached
Cheyenne. where he declared also that
the organized forces of opposition
outside the congressional halls were
the hyphenated Americans and pro-
German forces which tended toward
disloyalty during the war.
The issue is final," he said: I'VE
can't avoid it; we have got to make
It now, and once made we cannot
turn back. We must either go in and
guarantee the peace of the world or
stay out until some dark and disas-
trous day and seek admission with
Germany"
