Tor this the coun- H try will be thankful. Hi Woodrow Wilson has been an ex- H iraordinary man In mentality and vis- H Ion. For a number of years he swayed J H the destiny of the world, and during H Lhat period more pooplo waited for his I Hi words of hope than ever gavo atten-1 H tion to tho utterances of any one man.
