"MADAMS WILSON"

DECIDES FATE OF NATIONS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) LOS ANGELES, 16th March. Diplomatic Paris, which originated the formula "Cherchez la femme?" in seeking a solution of all problems, diplomatic and otherwise, is now holding up its .hands in righteous indignation at the expressed fear that American women have either any interest or influence in international affairs. French diplomatic oirclcs are now excitedly referring to "Madame Wilson,", and tho gossips of the Embassies in Paris speak of the receipt of long reports from. M. Jusserand, Ambassador to Washington, outlining what is called his undignified treatment in Washington. The report is rumoured to relate to the detailed circumstances of the Ambassador's efforts to see President Wilson for a diecussion of a reservation to the treaty and his ultimate accomplishment in seeing only Mrs. Wilson, who discussed the question with him at length. . , . In London, diplomatic circles talk" ofthe "Stuart Case." Major Crauford Stuart, who was attached to the Embassy staff, is said to have made a foolish remark at a private dinner concerning exchanges of calls between the President and Mrs. Wilson and the German Embassy, under Bernstorff's regime. The story goes that when the remarks reached Mrs. Wilson a. demand for the recall of the officer followed. It is denied that the officer made the statement. The fact remains that during the President's illness his wife transacted a great deal of public business.*
