The French capital was en fete for the oc-casion. December 24 he went to England and thence to Italy. lie returned to Paris January 8, after a Journey that resembled a "triumphal procession." After the preliminary sessions of the peace conference President Wilson re-turned to the United States In Febru-ary, returning to Paris March 15, 1819. He signed the peace treaty June 28, 191!), and returned to the United States July 8. His second term as president expired March 3, 1920. After his retirement from the presi-dency Mr. Wilson lived quietly, making a partly successful fight to regain his health. He occasionally went to the theater and rode much In his car about the environs of Washington. He bought a home in Washington and In 1921 formed a law partnership with Bain-bridg- e Colby, who had been his secre-tary of state, succeeding Robert Lan-sing. He took part in the funeral pro-cession of President Harding In Wash-ington and was the recipient of much public attention. Mr. Wilson's last public utterance was last fall. November 10, 1923, the eve of Armistice day, he spoke by radio to the American people, defending his peace policy and saying that the Amer-ican people had withdrawn into a "sul-len and selfish Isolation which Is deeply Ignoble because manifestly cowardly and dishonorable." Armistice day Mr. Wilson briefly ad-dressed thousands from the front steps of his home, concluding thus: "I am not one of those that tiave the least anxiety about the triumph of the principles I have stood for. I have seen fools resist Providence before and I have seen their destruction, as will come upon these agutn utter destruc-tion and contempt. That we shall pre-vail Is as sure as that God reigns. Thank you." Chronology of Wilson. Woodrow Wilson, twenty-eight- h president of the United States of America, was the most prominent world-figur- e of the events growing out of the World war, the most momentous of all wars. His place, as history will fix It, can only be conjectured. Hun-dreds of millions placed him at the senith, as they placed the at the nadir. The great war brought to the front many men whose names will live In honor. In the Inst analysis three men stand out: Wilson, Lloyd George, Clemenceau. Of these three It was Wilson who held the world's eye Wil-son, the human phenomenon of the times, until fifty-fou- r no more than a college president and political writer anfl at sixty-thre- e on a pinnncle of fame and honor and power unsur-passed If ever attained by any man in history. It Is Impossible now to differentiate between Woodrow Wilson the man and Woodrow Wilson the head of the most powerful nation of earth In wealth! material and fighting men. Certainly he could not huve reached the place he held without great ability and ex-traordinary capacity for leadership. By virtue of his place he became a focus of world attention as soon as the great war began. Before the armi-stice was signed he had become a great moral leader with the ear of the peoples of the world. Only as such could he have forced upon the allied world the unofficial acceptance of his project of a league of nations, with its the poles. Senator J. Thomas Heflln (Dem., Ala.), when representative spoke on the floor of "Woodrow Wil-son, the greatest apostle of world liber-ty and democracy since Jesus Chvlst." 8enator Thomas W. Hardwlck (Dem.) of Georgia, said January 21 In the se-nate: "I believe In a written constitu-tion. I believe in a strict interpretation of It . , . and I believe that unless we leave and abandon this mad satur-nalia of Imperialism here at home and return to the ancient principles of our fathers there will be no safety nor happiness for the people of this re-public." Senator Albert B. Cummins (Rep.) of Iowa expressed the half-wa- y view when he said In the senate January 23: "I think President Wilson is the most Intensely practical statesman of this or any other day. He began his administration In the belief that the executive office had not the power that It ought to have. He has accomplished more In the direction in which he set his face and his mind than any other man, either In this generation or In any former generation; and the only criticism, If it be a criticism, is that he has not marched In the right direc-tion and has done things that he ought not to have done.", In the process of wresting from con-gress nil the powers he believed the Constitution conferred upon the execu-tive, President Wilson made many po-litical enemies who questioned not his ability, but his motives and methods. Woodrow Wilson was born Decem-ber 28, 185(5, in Staunton, Va. He was the son of Rev. Joseph It. Wilson, a Presbyterian minister, and' Jessie (Woodrow) Wilson. In 1885 he mar-ried Ellen Louise Axsen. They had three daughters Jessie (Mrs. Francis B. Sayre), Eleanor (Mrs. W. G. and Margaret. Mrs. Wilson died August 10, 1914, in the White House. December 18, 1915, Mr. Wil-son mnrrled Edith (Boiling) Gait, a descendant of Pocahontas. The first 29 years of Mr. Wilson's life covered his boyhood and education. The next 25 were devoted to teaching and writ-ing. With his election to the gover-norship of New Jersey In 1910 began his active political career. His chro-nology follows: 1858 Family removed to Atlanta, Ga.

The enthusiasm evoked by President Wilson's visits to Pnrls, London anil Rome was proof of his unique pluce In the regard of the people. It was evi-dent that he was to Europeans not so much s man as a voice a voice put-ting Into words what they wanted and had not been able to express ; bis Ideas end Ideals were a sort of religion to them. But he showed himself a statesman as well s a voice. He plnyed the game masterfully. He established sympathy between himself and his man or his crowd. He made fw if any mistakes In taste or Judgment. He "matched his mind," to use his own expression, with the best of Europe and be got his league of nations before ttie peace conference and got It adopted. President Wilson's two months In Europe mny be divided Into phnses. When he landed the attitude toward the lengne of nntlons was this: The government of France was antagonis-tic; Greut Britain's was suspicious; Italy's was skeptical. The first phase, his triumphant progress through France, England srd Italy opened the eyes of these governments to his hold Wi the people. The second phase, the prellmlnnry work of the rence con-ference, convinced these governments that President Wilson had nn idea rather than a set plan which he pur-posed to force upon them. This sim-plified the situation and the rush to climb on the bandwagon becan. Contemporary estimates of President Wilson at home were as wide apart as To pnrtlnilnrlze would be largely to review the political history of the last six years. The railroad situation, how-ever, may be cited as an example. Representative E. H Denlson (Rep.) of Illinois said January 15, 1919, "Government ownership of railroads will be the dominant political Is-sue in the next national campaign and Mr. McAdoo will of course expect to bo the candidate of his party. He will hope to capitalize what hus been done for the railroad men." President Wilson was In 1910 upon a pence plutform. October 25, 1918, Just before the congressional elections, he issued an Hpeal to the voters of the United States asking them, If they had approved of his leadership and wished him to continue to be their unembarrassed spokesman In affairs at home nnd abroad, to ex-press ttipmseives unmistakably to that effect by returning a Democratic ma-jority to both houses. The result of the elections was to change the po-litical complexion of both houses as follows: 05th congress Senate, 51 Democrats and 45 Republicans; house, 215 Republicans nnd 213 Democrats, flfith congress Senate, 47 Democrats end 49 Republicans; house, 239 Re-publicans and 193 Democrats. President Wilson in attending the pence conference made several new departures. He left the country during office. He took the office with him, signing nets and making appointments while In Paris. He Ignored the senate, though he Is empowered by the Con-stitution to make treaties "by and with the advice nnd consent of the senate." He appointed as the American rcpre- - A British scientist Is said to have a care for fatigue but It la likely that the tired business man will stick to the pretty girl show.

Third, the smaller but very Important group of car owners , of ample means, only a small percentage of whom as yet realize that Chevrolet as an eatra car virtually costs them nothing, due to the reduction in their transportation expenses effected by it.

About 1819 two men came over from the United States and started a print-ing and engraving business which to this day Is known as Perkins, Bacon & Co., Ltd.
