Wilson's heart and established the con-
idence which is now exercising its in
fuence in the national councils.
Mr.. Dodge later became one of that
numerous fraternity of "original Will
son men," He contributed heavily to
both the Wilson campaigns. He stood
out prominently among the Wilson sup
porters, very few of whom represented,
as he did, great vested interests. The
Presidents action in refusing to protect
with armies the American investments
in Mexico earned him the distrust of
most large investors. But here was

the humblest service, which he entered
Immediately upon leaving college. He
is now reputed to be the best informed
man on near-Eastern affairs in the
United States. His Office in the Cor
gregational Building in Boston is a sort
OF state department, to which con-
fdential reports come as though by
natural gravitation, where long-visioned
policies are formed, where informa-
ton Of both the common and the in
fammable varieties is filed for refer
ence. Though the American Board does
not control all the American missions
in Turkey, it has become a sort of un-
official clearing house for mission ac-
tivities. Now that the war is on, max
ing communication with the Orient
difficult, it has taken on an almost
diplomatic character.
Of former Ambassador E!kus and b;s
extraordinary success under difficult
conditions in Turkey the public is
well informed. He ably carried on the
work of his predecessors, Mr.. Straus
and Mr.. Morgenthau, in dealing with
