President to Act.

President to Act.
This was the composite impression
brought back to the Capitol yesterday
by two Senators-FalI, of New Mexico,
a Republican, and Hitchcock, of Neb-
raska. a Democrat-who were named
by the Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee TO see the President on the
Mexican situation and to ask his
views Of a resolution requesting him
to withdraw recognition from Car
rama and TO sever all diplomatic re-
Iations with the government of Mex
leo.
The Senators were closeted with the
President for more than twenty-five
minutes. and It was the first tine
since the President was taken SICK
that he was seen by a Republican
Senator. The greatest interest wss
therefore attached to what Senator
Fall said after the interview.
Condition n Surprise.
Il was most agreeably surprised by
the Presidents condition" were the
first words of the New Mexico Senator
when he returned to the Capitol. He
was propped up slightly in bed-lyins
on his baCk-when we entered his
room and he shook hands with both
Senator Hitchcock and me. His mind
was perfectly alert: he was able to
grasp everything that we said. ano
he asked me to put in memorandum
form for his information the substance
OF the facts told him. 1 talked prac-
tically all the time and gave him my
reasons and proof of my charges for
a severance of diplomatic relations
with Mexico.

Dr. Moses Was
Wrong, Wilson
Tells Senators

President Wilson asked Senator
Fall to transmit for him a mes

Some weeks ago a letter from Sem

President was suffering with a
cerebral lesion and that although
he might recover he never again
would be any force in public life.
Il hope that you will deliver a

BULGARIANS
RETURNING TO
PRE-WAR WORK
Internal Condition of Coun-
try as Peaceful, Says
Ivan Guichof

Geneva, Switzerland. Sept %
Bulgaria is one of the most tranquil
states in Europe to-day, says Ivan
S. Guichof, formerly Bulgarian Min
ister of Foreign Affairs and now
minister to Switzerland.
Instead of resorting to revolution.
the Bulgarians have returned to
their farms and peace-time pursuits,
believing this to be the only way of
curing the ills caused by two sue
cessive wars, the minister adds.
NJ. Guichof ascribes this peaceful
internal condition and the opposi-
ton in Bulgaria to anarchistic or
communist propaganda to the fact
that the majority of the Bulgarian
people, eighty-fve per cent, are
peasants, owners of their own land
and homes. This is sufficient, he
says, to show that the people so con-
stituted as the Bulgarians will al
ways be averse to communistic ten
denotes.
Another reason for internal peace
is the fact that crops in Bulgaria
have been good.

ned, too, to have series of month
