sense attitude that has added greatly to
the prestige OF his paper.
1t is not only President Wilson that
Bailby finds lacking. though In him
France put her greatest trust.
"Mr Wilson defends his great ideal OF

use concealing the fact that thus far the
Peace Conference has achieved far less
than what was to be expected, con-
sidering the personality OF It's members.
No great man, he writes, has pushed
himself head and shoulders above all
