One Word Altered.

As late as the Winter of 1918 —in ftact, while he was on his way 1o the peace conference—he disclosed to one of his confidantes that for many months before the United States entered the war he was not sure that the drastic application of | the British naval blockade would not <o shape public opinion in America so as to make it dificult to avoid an open rupture with the allles and Great | Britain in particular. \ Choice of Evils.

They will make auarantees for the peace of the future or they will make their peace without America. And if we make this peace, I will so inter- twine the principle of the League of atlons with its terms that no man able to accept one without will be the other.’ The President’s friend asked him what he proposed to do if he failed to have his viewpolnt accepted. “I can always take my peace mi sion and go home,” Mr. Wilson re- plied with a gesture of finality. The succeeding events proved that Mr. Wilson carried out his intentions as he outlined them to his friend. He did intertwine the peace terms with the League of Nations, and he did at one time effectually threaten to take his peace mission and go home. e . TLabor i a good cure for melancholy.
