II HE country is beginning to wonder how
1 many times il is necessary to tell thing
to the United States Senate before that body
believes what it hears. Every few days for
months. inQuiring Senators have insisted upon
knowing all over again whether or not Presi-
dent Wilson believes in the treaty OF Yer
saiilcs; whether or not he stands by The cove
nant OF the league OF nations, and whether or
not he would accept a compromise on Article
X. OF that covenant
40, every time the question has been asked
OF him has Mr.. Wilson felt inclined to answer
ii. But he has put himself ont so often to
inform Senator'S as 10 his attitude that it
seems amazing that any one should longer

the second time he made Il tour OF the country
for the sole purpose OF defending the treaty.

Foreign Relations Committee. and with the
utmost irankncss answered all questions put
to him. When the Jackson Day dinner was
held in Washington he forwarded commun-
cation TO his fellow Democrats stating that he
would accept no reservations that tend TO null
lily the treaty. When the Democratic caucus
oi the senate mot some time thereafter he
said the same thing with all the impressive
ness he could command.
withsauding ali these expressions OF
view; Notwithstanding all his declarations of
opposition TO killing reservations and his
carncstncss in demanding the unmutatcd ac-
ccptancc of the peace treaty, tho Senate re-
manned uncertain regarding the Presidents at
ttude. Members OF that body wanted TO hear
the story all over again, and the patient MIR.
Wilson consented once moro TO tell it. He
has now submitted letter to Senator Hitch
cock in which he declares emphatically that
nc Will not stand for the butchcry OF Article
X. or the notification OF any other provision
Of the treaty. lie will accept interpretations
OF the document but nothing more. Perhaps
the Senate BY now is convinced.
