TO HILT MILT f. f rhe The sternness ness of ot Woodrow Wilson his his' secretary declared was just the r reverse side of ot his human nature and made made maie nothing more natural than that should he have become the champion I of ot sm small ll nations The presidents president's Ins in insistence In- In s stence upon article X of ot the league 1 covenant c was explained as a wish a wish to

came carne from Germany to America when the American mind was ready for war this same Woodrow WoodloW Wilson became the most uncompromising uncompromising uncompromising un un- un- un compromising advocate of ot the most stringent measures for conducting the war thereby to hasten the end of ot the war war warThe The speaker recalled the presidents president's 3 speech to officers of the

the plan for combining combining combining com com- bining the allied powers In the West under the supreme command of ot General General General Gen Gen- eral Foch in order that all the allied forces forces' could be c concentrated on the German forces to crush them The grave fault which Secretary asserted he found with the president was his ignorance of how to play to the gallery He does does' not know how to capitalize his virtues for the front pages of the newspapers he said He is dreadfully dreadful dreadful- ly poor publicity material Human from his heart to his finger tips he does not know how to put his humanity on exhibition As his friend and admirer I have loved him better because he did not I There was as something too fine In his nature for the dramatics and Ings of ot the political g game e as it is usually played I AFFECTION ON DENIED HIM The secretary told of ot a a. journalist who wished to have the president do doone doone doone one of ot the stunts that the public dearly loves loves' to read about and of the comment comment comment com com- ment of the president He said to me you ou must realize that I am not built for these things I do not want to be displayed before the public If It I tried to do It I would do It badly I want people to love me but they never will willI I have never forgotten the wistful tones in which he spoke those last four words But they never never wilt will Secretary Secretary Secretary Secre Secre- tary said Two final pictures Mr said he desired to draw the first that of I the president in 1917 a straight vigorous vig vig-
