If it will lighten the spirit and add to the resolution with which we take up the task, let me re- peat for our nation, we shall give no people just cause to make war upon us. We hold no national prejudice, we entertain. no spirit of revenue, we do not hate, we do not covet, we dream of no conquest, nor boast of armed prowess. " If, desipte this attitude, war is again forced upon us, I earnestly hope a way may be found, which will unify our in- dividual. and collective strength and consecrate all America, materially and spiritualy, body and soul, to national defense, I can vision the ideal re- public, where every man and woman is called under the flag for asgign- ment tq duty, for whatever service, military or civic, the individual, is best filted, where we may call to universal service every plant, af . all in the sublime sacrifice for COWfitry, and not one penny of war profit shall enure to the benefit of private. indi- vidual, corporation or ¢dmbination, but all above the normal shall flow into the defense chest’ of the nation.

Mrs. ‘ Harding Washingtcn, Mar. Mrs. Warren G. Harding found hey servant problem solved for her when.she hecame mis- tress of the White House today.

Wilson the highly interesting unwritten chap- ters of Woodrow Wilson’s life. They would make a volume of far more en- grossing reading than anything, that ever had been written about him. Such a volume might include the inside” story of the, break with Col- ons! House, bis former confidential cdavisor; it, might tell how Mr. Wilson: rousing Mr. Clemenceau, the French premier, from bed at 2 o'clock one morning, practically charged the French delegates with tampering with the records of the peace conference proceed ngs. night teil how Mr. Wilson made up hi re” some other Cab- inet of soon after the resignation of Secretary Lansing but desisted, be- cause, he said, it would only add to the popular impression that he “couldn't get along with anybody”. It might also tell what Mr. Wilson “said with a smile” to Lloyd George concerning the relative strengths. of the British and American navies, and it might disclose that Mr. Wilson went to the peace conference prepared to withdraw, as he threatened to do, in ese things, however, if they do e public, probably will do so by the pen of the historian after Wood- row Wilson has heen assigned to his praper niche in the .wall of history.

Mr. Wilson’s retirement: to private life , not likely to release them for public) Onsumption. 7 Moral Leadership Until ‘the. beginning of the World War Mr. Wilson held the attention of the country with his swift strokes at getting legislation from Congress. With the coming of the war he devot- ed the last two years of his first term to an attempt to keep the United States out of the conflict, and as the seem- ingly inevitable drift toward war set} in jhe gradually assumed the diplo-| matic leadership of the nations arrayed against Germany and her allies, and | her allies, and finally assumed what) his partisans characterized as the moral leadership of the world. During the diplomatic correspond- ence with'Germany he dispYayed many homely human’ emotions. ‘ On May 7. 1915, when Mr. Wilson heard the news of the sinking of the Lusitania, he was almost at the end of his patience. Like a man making a last elfort to avoid a quarrel with a wife who has just laid on the last stvaw, he ciapped on his hat and went out and walked around the block. He knew how to give vent to his emotions on other occasions and has, been known to say something strdager than the “tut-tu” whica has been ac- credited to him on having made a faux pas at go. However cold and aus- tere he may have been accounted in his dealings with public men, those who-have been privileged to view his family life from the inside of the circle testify that he is intensely human. In Shadow of Capitol What part he niay take in public af- fairs in the future, living as he will almost under the shadow of the dome of the Capitol, is causing lively specu-y lation. So far as the records show no other President has remained in Washington after going out of. office. Mr. Wilson first intended to live in Baltimore. He and the present Mrs. Wilson settled it, by playing a game the President invented during an idle hour on the steamer George Washing- ton. on one of the trips to and from the peace conference. It was a game of percentages with certain scrores allotted to the various advantages or amusements of life of which both were most fond. Baltimore, as the game worked out, had the highest total. But breakdown and continued illness in- of the servants since the administra- tion of former President Taft. Pre- vious to that time a steward was in charge. Only the expense of the personal Servants which a new -president and his wife may choose to have accom- pany them to the White House is borne by the chief executive. Mrs.! Y@rding has retained the services of (Inez \reWhorter, her cook, and a chauffeur, but she found at the White House four cooks. retained by the gov- ernment and tour chauffeurs. The matter of supplying the White] House table may not prove as sim- ple for atl food purchased whether for the private. table or for state func- tions must be paid out of the pocket of Caterers to the White Hcuse usuaily are selected by the housekeeper unless the -‘First lady of -the land” desires to follow particular preferences which may pre- viously. have “been formed. FRIDAY, MARCH 4, 1921 {sure you get BROMO.) = in 1919 tervened and it was decided to remain in Washington, where almost all of Mrs. Wilson’s family reside. - The new home, bought recently, is on an eievation in the northwest resi- dence section not far from a site long held by the Imperial German Govern- ment, for embassy. Mr. Wilson: ex- pects to spend the future almost on the spot where the, Kaiser expected his ambassador'to sit. / Because of the secrery which has been thrown around his physical con- dition, the country is probably most interested in that just now. Mr. Wil- son is convalescent—so far as naturé permits—from what medically is called thrombosis—a blood clot in one of the arteries on the right side of his brain which impairs the motor nerves in the left arm and leg. He can walk short distances alone with the aid of a cane; longer distances require the use of a wheel chair. Walking up and down stairs 1, ,precarious experiment sel- dom attempted. Mr. Wilson was not stricken on the League of Nations speaking ‘trip in the west as is hopularly supposed, but with'n a week after he returned to the White House. Warning signals of the coming attack were what caused his return. For three days after he came back he seemed to’ be improving; in fact he took a motor ride the day be- fore he was, laid low, and on the night before played’ billiards. The seizure came in the night, at an hour when the President was alone, and he was found stricken just before daylight. Grew a Beard For a week his life was despaired of, but. bis;xeal condition was kept secret by. his. family. Then came’ a turn for the better and for many weeks the President was confined to his bed —hb bed in which Abraham Lincoln be- fore him probabl¥ had passed many a night of pain and sleeplessness of a different natu Even the White House barber was not admitted to the room, and Mr. Wilson, usually clean shaven, grew a beard, and made hum- orous remarks to his physicians and family as he brushed it for amuse- ment several timés a day. In the midst of the illness an un- looked for muscular complication set in and refused to yield to treatment. While physicians and surgeons anxi- ously consulted downstairs as‘ to whether the President’s ,physique could withstand the shock of a sur- gical operation’ and had about decided that it was a life or death chance, a nurse arrived with the news that, na- ture had interwened and that the oper- ation would be unnecessary. From that moment slow recovery set in. * flotor nerves. which had: refused to respond to needle pricks showed signs of reaction. Pretty soon Mr. Wislon was about in a wheel chai A few weeks later he Ws tearding’ to iwalk again with the support of an attend- ant. Massage, electricity and every thing known to science, were employed to coax his muscular faculties back in- to action. Then he got out-of-doors for motor rides, and received some vis- itors. He took up a routine of a few hours work each day dictating to ste- nographers and increased, the time as strength gathered. One evening he surprised Washing- ton by going to the theater and walk- ing only with the aid of a cane which he humorously. called ‘my. third Jeg.” He probably never will play golf again and may never deliver another public speech although he will write what he has to say, in what extended measure no one knows. His friends say it may be a large one. Washington wil] now have a Presis dent’ and one of the two living ex- Presidents on its hands and official- dom is very -much interested to se@ how it will work-out. RE-APPOINTS 0. E. LOFTHUS 0. E.
