The True Story of "Woodrow Wilson By DAVID LAWRENCE.

Those who held office under Liim Hved in fear of L disfavor—they re- pressed ticisme, Those with wihom he were involuntarily prejudiced st him——they exag- serated his defects and minimized his virtues ern and im © yet emotional, culm and paticut yet quick tempered «nd impulstve, forgetful ot those who hud served him yet devoted to mauy who had reudercd but minor serviee, unforgiving and ficrce in his con- iempt for who had dared to ree with him, vet generous with even to the extent of appoint- n to hih office, precise and ike and yet upon occa without m than intuftion itself, scclusive yet a cru- sader for the larger purposes of de- ocruey—thus might his characteris tic - contradictions be incoherentl; &rouped in a series of puradoxes. Wilsou at Close Range. . And even these are not all the at- tributes of the strange personality of Woodrow Wilson, The author knew Woodrow Wilson for eighteen vears, stood at closo rauge through the rise and fall of his eventful carcer, felt the throb of his ciforts for a better human- ity, watched the inconsistencies of pol- icy develop, perceived the boldness by which almost ulone he cmbarked on najor programs. and often took note the eccentricities of a personality perplexing to all but those who blindink accepted its leadership, This mun whose words during the world war were broadeast to the four cor- rs of the earth, as had happened to a0 other Amerfcan in history, is not intended to give ald and comfort cither to those who saw in Woodrow Wilson an ecmpirical opportunist of boundless ambitlon, arbitrary and iyrannical in the exercise of his power or those who with partisan zcal placed the stamp of unqualified approval on his acts personal and polltical, his singular concepts of party discipline or international inter- course, Rescnts “Pitiless Publicity.” Tho author essays a task of his- torlcal disclosure because in all the rears of his acquaintance with Wood- row Wilson no favor was sought and none given. No obligation was in- curred, no political allegiance estab- lished. Most of the time it fell to the author's lot as a newspaper Te- Dorter to ste behind the curtain of events. It was a ecrutiny based upon & professional labor prompted by the lived None xall more ve never-ending demands of present-Gay | journalism, a scrutiny resented at times by Mr. Wilson himself, toler- ated upon occasions as a necessary evil, but never wholly accepted by him as the corollary of that “pitiless publicity” which in an unguarded moment of impromptu speech he cotned as a slogan for his first ad- ministration. Books né doubt will be written re- vealing various aspects of “Woodrow Wilson's life hitherto inadequately outlined. Letters, documents, conver- sations, passing remarks—these will serve to chart more accurately the turbulent course of his extraordinary career, but there can be no departure oy those who know the truth from SPECIAL NOTICES.

Turning points there were in the career of Woodrow Wilson, separated, i i 1 indeed, by intervals of besetting cir- cumstances, but climaxes’ nevertheless ‘\\hh'h marked assuredly his progress from the clofstercd atmosphere of | the college to the forefront of the world stugeé itself in the greatest crisis of modern times. They were lke wcts in a drama with a touch of comedy here and there, a triumphant rise over enemies who wished him il and plotted his defeat, and a tragic eollapse at the moment he | most necded the physical strength to carry forward his greatest battle. Turned Defeat Into Triumph. Secmingly connected as 1f by pre- | destination were the major occur- rences in Woodrow Wilson's ' life. Defeat at Princeton forced him re- luctuntly into the realm of national | politics.” Repudiation of the man who ihad practicaly made possible h nomination as Governor of New Jer- in 1010 won nation-wide atten- tion even, as the ery of “ingrate” was | { raised. His sensational victory at the | { national convention in 1912, after an unprecedented series of ballots, took on the fervor of a crusade. The col- | lege professor who had become in his day the most noted authority on the doctrines of constitutfonal gov- ernment had the unexampled oppor- tunity to put his theory Into actual | practice. | Again and ‘again Woodrow Wilson, | sure-footed, confident, self-reliant, so far as the outside world was con- cerned, seemed on the verge ofa great | blunder, only-to be saved therefrom | by tho insistent counsel of his col- | leagues and advisers. As fascinating ;45 the tale of what Woodrow Wilson | wanted to do but did not is the story of the spectacular things he did do, | some of them, too, tn direct opposi- ton to his most faithful friends and | counselors. i Romance Ran Through Carcer. | Romance, which in the lives-of all great men has played a dominating | Tole, runs through the drama of the Wilsonian carecr, affecting him at times most profoundly. In all history perhaps there is no statesman wi was as deeply influenced or as quici stimulated in intellectual vigor | by an atmosphere of feminino bril- liance. It raised him to the loftiest | ihelghts. Chivalrous, always whole- some, susceptible to the charms of | those he loved, the unpublished writ- ings of Woodrow Wilson apart from affairs of state constitute a most re- markable collection of literary gems. The world missed a great novelfst n Woodrow Wil spontaneity was genius itself. 3 The death of the first Mrs. Wilson. in 1914, nearly wasted away the moody husband who survived her. ! The courtship and' marriage follow- ing a tomb-like melancholy of six months in the Whité House which lalarmed his physiclans and family gave Woodrow Wilson the inspira- | tion to carry on in the great war. It | was the largest single factor in pro-1 longing his life four years and a half beyond the {ll-omened day When there came an end to his famous speaking trip for the league of natlons. Conistency to the Winds. i Consistency he often threw to the obstinacy reared ftself tm- | bly at moments when compro- mise would have won the day. That which happened before his physical collapse must be judged differently than that which occurred thereafter. Hud he retained his health, Woodrow Wilson, just as sure as day follows night, would have mccepted reserva- tions to the Versailles treaty and secured thercby the acceptance by the United States of membership in | the league of nutions. He was almost persuaded to do so on his sickbed, but | his {llness induced a consclousness ot’ i martyrdom which, togethey with the exclueion of outside advice, made him 1irritable and inflexible. The purpose of this biographical | defense of the temperament of Wood- | row Wilson nor to cast X-rays of penetrating critictsm on his mode of self-expression. The story is untold- | ed for no other purpose than to place on record a dispassionate narrative of the man who traveled into the ac- customed path of the politician prac- tielng the arts that make for per- sonal popularity, but the road that combined personal magnetism with the sheer power of intellect—a road that marks the unparelleled ascent of a college professor to the throne of moral leader in a world torn between | intense commerecialism and Christian idealism.
