President Wilson's Leadership

William E. DOdd, Tn the fale ReFleW
 There has seldom in al history been such lnasterful leadership of the varied clements of a distraught people as that shown by the President in 1916 and 1917. And as the result came a national unity in the United States such as had never before been witnessed. The war was made crusade for democracy. lmme- diately the war in France and England took on a more solemn tone. Liberals and radcals-all those forces of Europe which desired to establish more human and brotherly system in the world at the end of the war-rallied to Wilson. He became more democratic himself and he made the United State more democratic than she had ever been since her first great Declaration. Autocrats took to cover everywhere. British la borers. French socialists. and Italian radicals ranged themselves behind the American leader; Poles and Bohemians and Serbs turned their hopes disappoint- ed at home for hunderds of years, to the man in Washington.

in event of war. In case any large force were needed the regular army would be pulled to pieces and built up again, because part of 1t would neces- sarily have to be taken to organize new units, and, of course, the new units would have to be built up from the bottom. This system, in my judgment. would practically repeat all of the mis- takes of the present war.
