. THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGION, D. C., ‘The True Story of Woodrow Wilson By DAVID LAWRENCE. CHAPTER XIV. Why Mr. Wilson Chose Bryan as See- retary of State—The Beginnings of Currency Legislation. It was while Mr. Wilson was in Bermuda that he encountered his first bit of world diplomacy. The British government maintains at Bermuda a governor general, who was instructed on that occasion to extend every hos- pitality to the President-elect. Just what instructions beyond that were given him is a matter which is known only, of course, to the British govern- ment. but in any event the governor general took occasion during one of his social chats with Mr. Wilson to discuss the status of the Panama canal tolls controvetsy, pointing out the hope of Great Britain that Mr. Wilson might be able to bring about a reversal of the action of Congress * in exempting American vessels from the payment of Panama canal tolls and thus discriminating against Brit- ish vessels which had been guaran- teed equal treatmest under the Hay- Pauncefote treaty. Woodrow Wilson had an opportu- nity to discuss the same question ‘Wwith Ambassador James Bryce before the latter left for England. He had a profound admiration for Mr. Bryce, begun in Princeton days, when the noted ambassador had visited thera. Valued British Support. Mr. Wilson was cognizant of the value of British support as opposed to British hostility in world affairs, but he was much more impressed by the sfact that the Hay-Pauncefote treaty seemed to give Great Britain rights which the act of Congress had taken away. Mr. Wilson knew also that the slightest indication of American friendship for Great Britain would ir- ritate the Irish-Americans and would cause Germany to look askance at American policy, a reflex of which might be German-American opposi- tion. Indeed Mr. Wilson's fears were fully confirmed on these two points a few months later when he asked Congress to repeal the law that had been passed in a previous session by +. which American vessels had been ex- empted from the payment of tolls. Count von Bernstoff, the German am- bassador, realized that a victory for President Wilson in the circum- stances would be construed abroad as the growth of an entente between the United States and Great Britain. He worked tooth and nail to defeat the purposes of Mr. Wilson. As it happened, the President-elect little dreamed while he was in Ber- muda of the far-reaching importance of the Panama canal tolls controversy on world diplomacy. make the appeal in behalf of Great Britain on the ground that a treaty | had been violated was a momentous one as will appear in subsequent ex- Pposition of the Wilson foreign poli But even though Mr. Wilson reai- ized and feared that he would be con- fronted with important questions of foreign policy he did not think they would become paramount. His mind was fixed during the Bermuda vaca- tion on the all-absorbing task of picking a cabinet. Tusk of Cabinet Making.

Pa mates_ebee: AINTING 101 His decision to | political | the majority | ized better than Woodrow Wilson the difficulties that might ensue if | he failed to melect Willlam Jennings | Bryan for a portfollo in the cabinet. | No one, on the other hand, had been as keenly aware of Mr. Bryan's tem- peramental fondness for the stump and public speaking rather than the involuntary silence and seclusion im- posed by tradition upon a Secretary of State. Mr. Wilson felt from the | start that Mr. Bryan's position as a | leader of the democratic party in | three separate campaigns entitled | him to the ranking position in the cabinet of a democratic administry- | tion. Plnce Offered to Bryam. One of the first things Mr. Wilson ' d1d on his return from Bermuda early in December, 1912, was to offer the scoretaryship of state to Mr. Bryan, ' and the latter accepted. The tender was made verbally and was kept a seoret for many weeks. Col. Edwin M. House, who had become identified with the Wilson pre-convention cam- paign, began at once to enlist Mr. Wilson’s interest in currency reform, | on which he had spent many years of study. The President-elect sanc- tioned a trip by Col. House to Flor- ida to let Mr. Bryan know in a gen- eral way of the plans for currency legislation and to win his support. It was Col. House's tact and skill on this mission that prompted the Presi- dent-elect to rely more and more on | the judgment of his new-found ad- viser, The colonel had the happy idea that John Bassett Mogre, America's most eminent authority on international law, could be persuaded to accept the Position of counselor of the Depart- ment of State and that the team of Bryan and Moore would satisfy pub- lic opinion, especially that part of it which did not believe &fr. Bryan would follow a conventional policy in_handling foreign affairs. Looking “back on the hopefulness with which that plan was launched one cannot help feeling that it was a splendid_example of the kind of thing which looks well on paper but never works in actual practice. It was a good political move, but bred its disappointment later on. Mr. Moore was a stickler for traditional { procedents. “He is now one of the } Judges on the Court of International Justice at The Hague. Mr. Wilson respected tradition and precedent only in so far as they presented an | opportunity to create a new prece- jdent. Mr. Bryan, whose heart was as big as the world itself, felt that precedent and law were compelling lonly in so far as they conformed to principles of Christian morality and the broader faith of civilization itself. Worked Well With Bryan. As a Secretary of State Mr. Bryan i surprised Mr. Wilson by his zealous advancement of certain fundamentals ;a! foreign polioy, and though the ]Presldent and Mr. Bryan disagreed {on the use of physical force instead {of moral force in issues with Ger- many. there is no doubt that the { Bryan-Wilson combination was a closer one than either man had j dreamed it would be in the days of 1912, Their emotions frequently were aroused in the same way—their sym- pathies stimulated by identical oir- joumstances. Points of difference were many, but the decision to take Mr. | Pryan into the cabinet was a plunge ) into the dark by Mr. Wilson—it was i simply & conviction that the demo- cratio party should be kept united and that Mr. Bryan had earned first place in the cabinet. While of ourse, was the principal work upon which 'Mr. Wilson was engaged when he returned from Bermuda, he began a series of conferences with congre sional leaders on prospective leg| lation. It was in the little cottage at Princeton that Col. House and Rep- resentative Carter Glass, chairman of the House committee on banking and currency, first laid before Mr. Wilson ithe essentials of the plan which in time gave the United States the fed- eral reserve act now on the statute books, substituting for an antiquated currency slstem a structure in keep- ing with the business expansion of the country. 4 The bold and outspoken manner in which Mr. Wilson, as President-elect, discussed what he intended to do as President on the major issues, name- ly, the tariff and currency reform, gave many of those about him the impression that he was overconfident. Mr. Wilson, however, had a sublime faith in the power of public opinion, Neither the tariff act nor the federal reserve act, as finally written into law, were actually what Mr. Wilson warited, but their fundamentals were what he had sought from the begin- ning. He believed public opinion was behind him and that a chief execu- tive who could marshal public opin- ion would compel Congress to aban- don filibusters and dilatory tactics and enact constructive measures.

HYATTSVILLE, Md., March 8.—A large dwelling on the Independent Ice Company's farm of the Wash- ington-Annapolis Defense highway, near Lanham, Prince Georges county, was destroyed by fire this afternoon about 4 o'clock. The house is said to be owned by William T. Amos of Washington, who recently purchased it from William Braswell. The estimated value of the property is $30,000 and it is be- lieved to be covered by insurance. The house destroyed contains six- teen rooms and had just been remod- ele Mr. Amos, it is understood, con- templated opening up a subdivision.

FRENCH PRINT TEXT OF “SECRET" PACT Yellow Book Reveals Clemen- ceau-Wilson Agreement While Lloyd George Was Absent. By the Associated Press, PARIS, March 8.—The document approved by President Wilson and the French premier, M. Clemenceau, in the absence of the British prime minister, Lloyd George, on April 20, 1919, at the peace negotiations, and referred to by Lioyd George in a recent alleged interview as a “gecret treaty,” is one of the features of the French “Yellow Book,” issued otday. The document as published is not signed; it comprises a text which is virtually identical with that which was finally approved and inserted in the Versallles treaty, with the excep- tion of the important second part of paragraph 3, article 429. Provides for Delay. The omitted paragraph is the one providing for delay in the evacuation of German territory if, after fifteen years’ occupation, the guarantees against unprovoked aggression arg not considered sufficient. The Yellow Book shows that the document was submitted was the “blg four” two days later, Lloyd George being present, but Premier Orlando, the Italian representative, being absent. The manner in which the document is presented and the explanation concerning it are evi- dently intended to expjode the theory that it was a secret document. Text of Accord. The official text of the accord as approved by President Wilson and M. Clemenceau on April 20,°1919, is as follows: “First. Between the governments | of teh United States and the republic | of France it is agreed that any vio- lation by Germany of the engage- ments taken by her nceording to the terms of the articles and the letters A B C of the present treaty shall be regarded as a hostile aet against the signatories of the treaty and calou- lated to disturb the peace of the world. “Second. A pledge is to be taken b the United Sattes of America to come immediately to the assistance of France if any unprovoked move- ment of aggression against her is made by Germany. “Third. This pledge 1s to be sub- Ject to the approval of the executive council of the league of nations and is to continue in force until it is agreed by the contracting powers that the league itself affords suffi- cient guarantee.” s - Many a successful business has been built on a foundation of Star want ads.

Ellerman, president of the Farmers' National Bank, | Fairfax, South Dakota, savs that | after suffering from deafness for|| many years he can now hear the| slightest whisper, and is so proud and happy of his own good for- tune that he wants every one who is deaf or hard of hearing to know | about ft. After trying everything | he could hear of without success, | Mr. Ellerman finally saw the an- | nouncement of a New York firm| stating that they had effected a | new hearing device called the| Acousticon, which would enable | any one whose auditory nerve was| a0t _entirely destroyed to hear as| perfectly as those with normal | aearing. As this firm offered to| s%nd their product on Ten Days| Free Trial—no deposit—no C. O. | D.—he decided to try it. To his| vtter amazement and delight, he found that this remarkable in- vention enabled him to hear all| sounds as clearly as when a boy.| He has since recommended it to || a number of his friends, and they | also report most satisfactory re-| sults.
