BY contrast the crisis which ap-
proaches grows out of good rather than
Ill feeling. In France, Italy and Eng
land the coming of President WilsoH
was hailed by the mass of the people
as the promise of new era. Mr.. VII
son was welcomed in no small sense as
savior of society, as the guarantor
of a new world. There was at most
difference only in degree in Rome, Lon
don and Paris.
The consequence was to give Mi.
Wilson position almost unique in MS
tory He had, and | think he retains,
the power welded by Bismarck at the
conference of Berlin-although 1t flows
from far different sources-and no SIN
gle man at the congress of Vienna had
comparable influence. 1t was and in a
measure it remains the expectation OF
great masses of European publics that
Mr. Wilson is to bring durable peace
to the world. He has become flgure
quite unlike that of Lloyd George, Gle
menceau, Orlando, who, after all, are
mortals known as such to millions, but
Mr. Wilson is symbol rather than
man.
Temptations Great.
In this situation the temptations are
manifest and tremendous, yet l think 1t
would be the general consensus of opin-
ion that the president has acted with
admirable self-restraint. The first aWk-
ward moment when it remained to be
disclosed whether he came as Caesar or
as a conferee went off satisfactorily
Millions of people welcomed him with
an enthusiasm which gave him obvi-
| ous power, but he made no effort "a
use that power unfairly, unreasonably
or so far at all. -,
Thus in a sense after the first period
| of action the president disappeared from
the public which had welcomed him. He
| was lost to view and-this is the point
Thereafter nothing has happened OF
| all things which were most expected
| and are most desired. What the pres
ident thought, what he seeks, what his
views are on the main questions re-
mains unknown to any single individual

all-important, questions. his views are

and conveniences of life, for. an end not
merely to the horrors OF hghting, out
to the only less real horrors of the ex-
sting twilight zone between war and

Conditions Awful.
The conditions Of ordinary life pass

One pays enormously for little, not
merely the foreigner, but also the ma
tive. Food Is dear, scarce, unsatlstac-
tory; railway transportation Is nap
hazard. Mails are infrequent, Order
and organization have as a consequence
of the war gone out of life. The
grimmest and the most intimate per
sonal problems press upon all people
and as the pressure grows their inter
est even in thing as important as the
peace conference diminishes. ,,.,. =
The reaction from these conditions is
the ever-growing demand that there
shall be decision, not debate, in the
peace conference. The world IS oe-
ginning to demand some peace, any
peace rather than perpetuatlon OF the
present condition, and In this SITUATION
