to put into practice in the state OF

THE PRESIDENT IS
MENTALLY ALERT
REPRESENTATIVES, OF FOREIGN
RELATIONS COMMITTEE HAVE
INTERVIEW WITH HIM.
CAN COPE WITH QUESTIONS
Is Well Informed On the Mexican Sit
uation, But Says Matter Must Be
Given the Most Serious Con-
sideration.

Washington.-Two senator's, delegat-
ed by the foreign relations committee
to confer with President wilson on the
Mexican crisis and report whether in
their opinion the president by reason
Of his illness was unable TO exercise
his functions, left the White House
after a conference of three-quarters OF
an hour with him, agreeing that he
was in touch with recent developments
and was mentally keen enough to form
judgments on the questions confront
ing the nation.
The discussion with the president
produced no definite conclusion as to
Mexican relations, but it was regarded
everywhere as bearing on subject OF
endless speculation in congressional
circles -whether the long illness OF
the chief executive has to any extent
rendered him physically incapable OF
the duties of the presidency.
Propped up in bed, the president
talked Of many features of the Mexi'
can tangle. With right hand and
arm free above the bed cover, the
senators said, he shook hands with
them and took up and read papers
which we're on the table beside him
He was described as weak and nerv.
Gus, but 1t was said he TESTED about
exaggerated reports of his illness and
promised within a few days to give
congress his advice on what is should
do about Mexico.
ale appeared to be a sick man,
said Senator Fall afterward, "but ment.
ally alert and perfectly able to cope
with any question with which he might
have to deal He appeared to me Ger.
tainly in as good mental condition as
any man could be after being Ill for
nine or ten weeks"
The other delegate of the committee,
Senator Hitchcock, Democrat, Of Ne.
braska, said the president seemed
greatly improved since he saw him two
weeks ago.
my opinion is that he has been a
very sick man, but is improving" said
Senator Hitchcock. HE has pretty
good idea of the Mexican situation
and although he did not give a final
decision on the subject, he indicated
that too many serious considerations
were involved to warrant any hasty
action"
The conference with the president,
which the foreign relations committee
decided to request after Secretary Ian
sing had told it that he had not seen
his chief during the recent Mexican
negotiations, was quickly arranged
when the two senators got into touch
with the White House. They we're told
that II they considered it urgent to see
Mr.. Wilson they would be permitted
to do so. An appointment accordingly
was arranged for $3.50 in the afternoon

TREATY
BE BESUBMITTED
PERHAPS TODAY
President Spends an Hour in
Discussion of Treaty
Questions With Demo
cratic Senators.

| Washington, July 2S.-Senators who
conferred with President Wilson during
his visit to the capitol late today said
the president planned to submit i'm
mediately. probably tomorrow, the
French treaty, under which the Unit
ed States and Great Britain would aid
France in the event of German aggre-
CATION.
The president remained at the capt.
tol about an hour discussing with the
democratic senators many questions
regarding the peace treaty. The sena-
tors said the president gave no indi-
cation as to when he may give the
senate further information on the
Shantung provision OF the treaty.
The question of reservation, it was
said. were only briefly discussed.
Developments followed renewal Of
senate criticism of the presidents de-
lay and headed off a plan discussed
among republican leaders to drop con-
'sideration of Versailles treaty until the
French treaty is submitted
Although 1t was said they had reach
ed no final decision it became known
that tentative plans were under way
to suspend committee consideration
and force the senate recess II the pres
ident left Washington on speaking
with France.
The beginning today of the tenth
week of senate debate on the peace
was accompanied by many evidences
or expectancy that statements from
President Wilson soon might clarity
the two issues around which discus
sion has conferred Shantung and reser-
vations.
Indications. at the white house that
the president might within a few days
take a public stand regarding the reser
vation proposal led senate leaders to
believe that the lines of that controv
ersy might speedily be drawn. Wheth-
er the president would express readi-
ness to accept reservations or other
not imperiling the league
covenant remained a subject Of con-
but more than one republican
senator who had seen him at the
white house believed his stand will not
De an uncompromising one for unre-
served ratification.
The hope of development regarding
he Shantung provision was based on
he presidents diplomatic converse
ions with Japan to secure a pubic
decision of her future policy regarding
he peninsula including preferably the
of the secret understand
