bot Bodge, the senior Massachusetts
senator, attacked President Wilson

eral weakness of the executive in
the handling of all matters connected
with the foreign policies of the na
tion, during hla administration. Th ■
lamentable weakness of the first Bus
itania note was entirely due to Wil
son, the senator said.
Furthermore, Lodge declared, had
it not been for the members of the
cabinet, the note would have been
still weaker. Bodge asserted that the
president was practically forced to
take off a postscript which h lm<!
added to the note and which still
further weakened that communie.i -
tlon, by the threat of the cabinet to
resign in a body In the event that be
would not consent to do so
Lodge said that lie was entirely
sure of ills statement as he had ob
tained tie information from Dr
Charles Bailey of Tuft's Medical col
lege who In turn had learned the facts
of the carefully concealed episode
from Henry Breekcnrldge, former as
sistant secretary of war.
