WILSON IN HISTORY
President Will Take High Rank
 as Statesman.
Even Ills Most Bitter Political Op- ponents Must Admit Him to Be Figure of Exceptional Intel
 lectuaI and Moral Power.

If man could sit down today and write the estimate of Woodrow Wilson that loyal Americans of 50 years hence will stamp with their approval, 1t would be work to which his descend ants and followers might point with pride. It is thing which none can do and few would attempt; yet the read ing of great mems characters is one of the most fascinating employments of the intellectual life. The secrets of the past supply an infallible guide to the events of tomorrow.
 Perhaps the man never lived who would have held so resolutely and skillfully the course of external and intellectual neutrality that President Wilson followed for almost three years, in the face of incessant and ter rife onslaughts from both German and and-German sides. Under the stress of this pressure-insidious, adroit, vio- lent, resourceful-his resistance in de- votion to what he thought was wise, right and necessary to be done estab- lished. him in all discerning and can did minds as a figure of exceptional intellectual and moral power.'
 The exceeding mobility of MT. Will sons mental equipment has borne fruit in frequent changes of opinion. This Is a fault, if we compare 1t with the rather ideal quality of being right in the first place and sticking to it; but it Is a wonderful virtue if we take 1t from the point of view of man in- experienced in international relations, especially in the acute issues of unpre- cedented world conf1agration - as which of us was not? Who could have come out of the still, cool valley of peace and the cloistered shades Of the, university into the terrifying storms of this awful war and not have been driven at times into blind pockets of the hills, from which retreat was inevitable? Nobody asks for men who never make mistake. We hope their errors may be as few as possible, but we pray that they may have the grace to abandon them for the true course as soon as they are seen to be wrong.

Not an Army at War, But a Nation

The power against which we are ar rayed has sought to impose its will upon the world by force. In the sense in which we have been wont to think of armies there are no armies in this struggle. There are entire nations armed. Thus, the men who remain to till the soil and man the factories are no less part of the army than that in France, than the men beneath the battle flags. It must be so with us. It is not an army that we must shape and train for war; 1t is a nation Presidents Draft Proclamation.

Why He Didn't Salute.

General Allenby, one of the two field officers responsible for the advance on the Mons-Lens sector of the western front, tells a story of one of his colo nels who was strolling about the camp before breakfast one morning attired principally in pajamas, a raincoat and an eyeglaSS.
 A new recruit approached him, stared, and passed by. The colonel ragged.
 Why the deuce don't you salute?' he asked.
 The rocky was the picture of injured innocence.
 "We were told not to salute when improperly dressed, sir."
 ''But you're fully dressed, my lad," replied the colonel.

 q suffered with catarrh of the stom- ach and indigestion for twenty years and for eighteen months I had to live almost entirely on cereals. My stom- ach was full of gas and suffered with awful headaches all the time. I was nervous and couldn't sleep. I spent nearly all of one whole year in bed and fell off in weight to one hundred and eighteen pounds.
 "After using three bottles of Tanlac, I had increased in weight from one hundred and eighteen pounds to one hundred and fifty-two-making an ac- tual gain of thirty-four pounds-all my troubles were gone and I was feel ing like a new man.
 Although 1t has been a year and half since Tanlac relieved me of my awful catarrhal trouble and indiges- ton, I still retain my increase in weight and feel simply fine all the time. I've been eating anything I want-in fact anything anybody else can-and sleeping like a child every night. Being made into a strong, healthy man after suffering as long as did is enough to make me rejoice and Pm glad to fndorse Tanlac be- cause know what it will do.'
