Paris, Dee. 16.-Paris has discovered

discovered Paris, and Paris has discov.
cred Wilson.

Of the love and wine Of France, because
he knows how to smile. we thought

"It pleases us TO find that this grave
man is vivicious. The president who
smiles is one of the grand dynamic
forces of the world"
Another writer said:
Wilhelm dreamed of marching
through the Arches of Triumph, but it
was Wilson who did it.
owe got a good look at his face as
he was smiling. We have seen Ameri-
can generals during the past year. They
were as impassive as warrior monks
bound to a holy war. Wilson s smile
made up for them all. He smiled a
smile of pure happiness, without AFRO
gance, without effort. The smile of a
just man who is bound straight for par
adise will be such smile as that. +"
