PRESIDENT WILSON'S MISTAKE.
NEW YORK, April 18
Senator Hitchcock, in a speech at Omaha to-day said that the President ,was an invalid. He was in broken health, depressed in spirit, and bitterly disappointed at the failure of the Sena,te
to ratify_tho Treaty. He had known nothing "but weakness, weariness and pain since his breakdown last September. . President Wilson, of course, made mistakes. He made a mistake ■when he proposed to negotiate the Treaty without. taking a few leaders of" the Senate into his confidence. Ratification of the Treaty would have been ieasy had he done this. The President lacked tact and foresight. He unwisely assumed that if he performed his duty the Senate would do.its duty and consent to the ratification <*f the Treaty.
