By EDWARD MUTTON (By. fcpeeial Leased Wire) Washington," Oct. ""!. Ending his silence which he hai maintained since ha left the White Route on March 4, former Proaident Wilson is quoted by loth the Washington Times and the Washington Post this mprning with taring denounced the action of the Henate in ratifying the separate peace treaty with Germany. That the. Senate would ratify it in the face of its form er attitude he is said not to hare be lieved. The newspapers' stories niv baited npon statements aaid to been made by Mr. Wilson to a former high oflicial of the government h . called on tlie former President about .1 week ai. Mr. Wilson is said to have declar, 1 Hatty that the separate peace trea:,. with t.eririniiy, Austria und Hun.:, are the crowning disgrace of the Vn . States that those who think the Isu.i of Nations as an issue before' i American people is dead are in err -, that it is an issue that is full of lit-., a breathing, vital issue that ia to be heard from again and again until the United States takes its place as a mem ber of it, nr until that time arrives when this country is part nf some in-j trnatiotial organization hose mission Trill bo to prevent wars. Chiefly Concerned Over League. Tho former President is described "py his visitor to have been keenly alert upon current political matters, but his ehirf concern is said to be aa to the Ixague of Nations and the peace trea ties that he deplored the action of h; Senate In ratifying the treaty that it did, declaring ita action a great disap pointment to him, that he believed this action would prove to be the greatest misfortune that could befall this coun try. As to what he purposed te do him self to keep the issue of tha League be fore the people there come no state inent, but the impression said to have Iieen produced upon his visitor is that Mr. Wilson will coutinue in some way to keep before the country this matter ivhich he holds to be vital. From the two papers and from others ho have seen Mr. Wilson the report j that Mr. Wilson is now in better health than at any time since he left tha White House. His color is reported .as being good, the sparkle of his eyes bright as he listens to a good story or tells one, showing the keenest interest iV topics that are discussed. His np petite is pronounced to be excellent and that he is putting on flesh, in fa.'t his eondition is said to be such that if he so Sesirej he will be fully able to go direct to tha people in speeches and advocate the entrance of the l'nite.1 States in the league. While he is said to talk of the League he declines to discuss any matters connected with the coming armament eonferenoe or mat ters pertaining to Far Eastern matters. Keenly Interested In Affairs. The picture that is drawn of the former President is that of a man who is keenly .alive to the affairs of this country, deeply interested in public matters which ha keep in elose touch with, a reader of many newspapers, in rood spirits aid with health improving in a marked degree. And above all 'rungs the accounts given concerning him is that the rii-ceji.ty for this couu try entering the Lenpuc. of Nations he holds as the dominnnt matter affecting the interest, of this country and its people. Mr. Wilson, accompauicd by Mrs Wilson and her brother, John Randolph Boiling, attended the performance at Keith's theatre last night, the party oc copying seats in the extreme rear a." the house, as is the custom of Mr. Wil ton. There was a big oration for him as he left the theatre and entered his automobile, more than !Vmj persons crowding about the doo of the theatre and hailing him with cheers and waving of hands.

The body of one of them, Walter Ware, was found in the ruins and that of the other fugitive is supposed to be still beneath the debris. Seven members of tho passe were slightly wounded in the attack. Sheriff Bond and K rgeant Boyer are roppflsed. to have hern killed when they attempted to collect a fine imposed upon Ware for violation of the prohihi tiop laws. When they failed to re turn today, a search was started which lesulted in hhe 'discovery of tho bodies near the negro's home.

WAITING ATTITUDE OF - GOVERNMENT CONTINUES No Modification Of Indicated Intention To Leave Dealings To Labor Board Washington, Oct. 23.--A waitu g at titude towards th" impending railroa strike still prevailed in oflicial circles today and no modification of the in dicated intention of the administrati n to leave all direct conduct nf dealings with it .to the Railroad Labor Board was observable. The cut ordered by the Interstate Commerce Commission in western grain rates remained the only salient move of the government in the railroad situation since the strike call. Calculations upon this, prepared for the Association ef Railway Executives, indicated that the freight decrease given western shippers would mane a dif ference of two cents a bushel "ci sver nge shipment of wheat between produc ing districts and primary market (enters. What the future course of the com mission towards freight reductions which are considered directly involved in the labor situation, would be, oflicial observers were not disposed to predict. Notwithstanding, there were indications that an early decision might be reached by the commission upon the second de mnnd for extonsivo rat - reductions be fore it, that carried in the petition filed in behalf of hardwood lumber pro ducers and manufacturers.

The railroad executives appear to have in mind that no better ti e could bo linel than How- to make a strenuous frglit to break the labor unions in so thorough a manner as to put them out of busine- for yeas. That there, is an idea on the part of the railroads looking t tins t be sesen by any one who "reads as he runs."
