PRESIDENT WILSON
HIS MENTAL CONDITION. EARLIER RUMOURS REVIVED. (By Telegraph-—Press Assn.—Copyright.) (United Service.) WASHINGTON, December 15. Received December 17, 12.20 a.m. Reports of the deadlock in the Treaty discussion and the passivity and lack of resource in the presidential attitude have revived doubts regarding President Wilson's mental condition. The Daily Mail publishes an interview with a distinguished American politician who says that while the physicians insist that President Wilson has not suffered a stroke, it is undoubted that his condition is most serious. In a state of nervous depression, he requires the maximum of quietude. “We are told that barring something unforeseen the President will recover and resume his duties, but his inability to receive Lord Grey is striking prima facie evidence of his helplessness. The whole situation is mysterious and baffling. To best-in-formed Africans one thing stands out clearly, that is that President Wilson is practically eliminated as a potent factor in affairs.
