WHY WILSON COLLAPSED

cation which symbolized the instinc-
tive trust of the smaller nations in
America, and their hope in Wilson's
leadership. l came into the office one
morning and found two as extraordi-
nary figures as ever came to Paris.
They were Polish peasants. clad in
their own home-spun natural wool,
red-embroidered, with Cossack caps
of shaggy black fur. They had with
them Polish priest to tell what they
wanted. 1t seems that they were from
little pocket settlement of Poles in
the mountains of northern Austria,
and that in the boundaries that had
been set at Paris they were included
In the new nation of the Czechoslo-
walks.
They told. and the priest inter-
preted. how they had heard in their
President. who was at Paris. had said
that people should be free, should
have a right to determine how and
by whom they should be governed.
They wanted to be in Poland, not in
and so they had set
out to walk to Paris to tell the Presi-
dent so. As soon as they got out of
their own native mountains they lost
their way-so they told me-and turn
ed aside to inquire Of Polish sheep
herder. He was a man." said the
priest, who knew the stars and the
way to 60" This sheep-herder. when
they told him their story and what
they were going to do said he, too,
wanted to be free" ESQ the priest
expressed it,, and came along with
them to watch the stars and point
out the way to go.

first covenant of the league of ma

there was one-a President returning
for the first time from a foreign coun-

world-and made his speeches in Bos-

presented the case. the arguments.

a vague popular disappointment at
not getting more specific reports of
what had happened at Paris; what
the actual situation had been; what
were the forces at work and the how
and why of the various articles.
Now, there was q wonderful and
highly dramatic story of the fight for
the league. Some of the ablest men
in the world sat in at those night con-
ferences in Col. Houses Office at the
Crillon Hotel; there were dramatic
clashes between powerful PERSONAL
ties symbolizing the struggle between
fundamental conceptions of interna-
tional policy-like the clash on the
race question. which ran throughout
the sessions of the league of nations

history of the origin of the covenant

Walked Hundred Miles.

They walked some hundred or more of
miles into Warsaw. where their story
attracted the attention of a patriotic
Polish society. which sent them on to
Paris. And they came Gown the
houlevards straight to the Crillon
Hotel to find President Wilson. They
actually did find him. l saw the
three Of them-the two peasants and
the astronomer who knew the stars,
and the priest who talked for them

Presidents house anu into his booked
walled study And l could smell the
very odor of their thick woven wool
garments. redolent of the SOIL in that
unfamiliar place.
/ think that no one who was in
Paris will ever forget the way in
which the people Of the little OPP
pressed nations of the world turned
to America for leadership-or staked
their passionate hope in the principles
of Justice laid down by President
Wilson. And it now appears that
there are those in America WHO would
shake off every claim to such leader
ship because 1t involves new duties
and responsibilities,
Well. the President saw and heard
scores of such foreign delegations; he
received patiently the representatives
of many organizations of working

American people-one cannot see the

been no clear or definite picture Of

Never Failed to Impress.

Even when hardest pressed he never
failed to make a powerful impression
upon every one who came into contact
with him. 1 saw many of his visitors
soon after they left him, and the re-
action was unfailing. 1 remember ask

who had come into personal contace

President.

but unfailingly what was highest ana

his notable speeches, than he was
