The misfortune Of "Kidron" is keen

the general ride his charger at the
heads of the parades in his honor.

been considered as second only to the

ON BOARD PRESIDENT WILSON'S
SPECIAL TRAIN, September TO-
President Wilson was heading due
west today on one of the longest legs
of his countrywide speaking tour for
the peace treaty. Nearly the whole
day was given over to travel the only
stop on his schedule being short one
at Bismarck, N. d.
After his strenuous day in st. Paul
and Minneapolis Mr.. Wilson arranged
to sleep late while his special was
speeding across the North Dakota
plains. He made three addresses yes
terday in the Twin cities of Mime
sofa. and in order to protect his
voice DIR. Grayson again prescribed
against rear platform addresses at
way stations.
Holds Up Well.
The President was holding up well
under the strain of his speaking
schedule. but DR.. Grayson insisted
that he take things as easy as
possible.
Word of the approach of the presi-
Dental special had travelled ahead,
however, and in many small towns
and even at country crossroads knots
of people have been found since the
trip began waiting for a glimpse OF
the chief executive and Mrs. Wilson.
They were out on the rear platform in
most cases to wave at the crowds. and
the President shook hands wherever
a brief halt was made to change en-
gines. At one crossroads just outside
a little Minnesota town more than
fifty farmers had parked their flag
draped automobiles near the track to
see the train roll by.

He expressed his doubt of the in
ability of any country to send troops
into Mexico without its resulting in
war. He had prefaced his testimony
with the remark that he did not ia
vor" war. but it was developed in
his testimony that one of his sons was
a soldier in the Pershing expedition
in Mexico.

explaining he had had no opportunity
to study the subject carefully. The
greater part of his time spent in
Mexico was during the administration
of Porfirio Diaz. when, he said, one
did feel a greater security in travel
ing than now, and when as full pro-
lection as possible was given mis-
