st. LOuis.-Displaying a high con-
f1dence that his fellow citizens in
the great majority agree with him in
his desire to end war forever, and
that they will see to it the peace
treaty with its League of Nations in
clusion, is ratified by the Senate, Pres
ident Wilson is making successful
way across the country on the long
journey he has undertaken for the
purpose Of laying before the plain peo-
pie report Of his work in Paris and
explaining to them just what the
league means.
Thus far In his travels, he has
everywhere met with warm greetings,
both in the great halls where he has
spoken formally and in the little cross
road hamlets where his train has
halted at times, and he has exchanged
words with the villagers who pressed
forward to greet him. He feels, and,
does not hesitate to say so when
challenged with his travelling com
panions, that the American people
want no more Of war and want to be-
come part Of the league so that there
may be no more war. He struck his
keynote when he said in his first ad-
dress, in Columbus, Ohio:
"This treaty was not intended mere
ly to end this single war; it is meant
as notice to every government who
in the future will attempt this thing
(what Germany attempted) that man
kind will unite to inflict the same pun
ishment. There is no national tri-
umph to be recorded in this treaty.
There is no glory sought for any par
ticular nation. The thought of the
statesmen collected around that table

they had gone through, Of the losses
they bad incurred. ef that great

every Christian prince and man Of
power nourished this one great dream
Of every pious person of the Middle
Ages.
On his return from the first voyage
to America he made a VOW, hoping to
use his portion Of the possible treas
ure acquired from the trip, to furnish
within seven years an army of 4,0O0
horse and $4,000 foot soldiers for a
crusade and a similar force within the
five following years. This was not
forgotten. Before starting on his
fourth voyage he wrote to Pope Alex
ander VII mentioning his vow and in
forming him Of his sorrow at not being
able to fulfill it, due to his arrest and
removal from power.
When his outlook was brightest
many royal favors were granted Co
lumbus. Some of the royal promises
never matured. In a very imposing In
strument known as the majorat, dated
February %, 1893, he provided for his
family and disposed Of the wealth that
he expected would surely flow into his
Golfers. He made provision that the
one supreme ambition of his whole
life be carried to its desired end.
In one of the articles of the docu-
ment appeared the words, Because at
the time started to go and discover
the Indies it was with the intention of
supplicating the king and queen, our
sovereigns, that the revenue which
their highnesses might have in the In
dies they should determine to spend
in the conquest of Jerusalem" His
will provided for a crusade directed
by his descendants.
During the period of his disfavor,
while jealous enemies were intriguing
against him, he recalled that his VOW
remained unfGlfllled. He considered
it his duty to arouse his sovereigns to
the enterprise, to remind them that
1t was originally proposed as the
great object 10 which the profits Of
his discoveries should be directed. In
the library Of the cathedral of Seville
there still exists the manuscript vol
ume that he prepared with the aid Of
a friar, quoting all those passages Of
the Bible and in the writings Of the
Fathers which he conceived to contain
prophecies of the discovery Of the new
world and the recovery Of the holy
sepulcher, events which he attempted
to show would succeed one another

Voyage Which Resulted In the DIE
coVery Of America Undertaken to
Procure Wealth to Save
Jerusalem.

History reveals that the discovery
of America was the working out Of
an effort to recover Jerusalem. 1t Is
surprising that the one great ambi-
tion of the life Of Christopher COlum-
bus, and one of the reasons for the
trip which ended in the discovery Of
this continent, is almost unknown.
This was his scheme for the liberation
of Jerusalem from the yoke Of the in
fidel Turk with the aid Of the wealth
that he hoped to acquire through his
voyage.
In his writings, his journals, his will
and his pleadings to the Spanish SOW
ereigns there has been recorded ample
evidence of this great passion Of an
adventurous and stormy life. He
quoted the holy scriptures and prOphe-
cies therein to prove that he had been
selected to accomplish this and that
the holy sepulcher was to be returned
20 the Christians through him as a
divine instrument.
Before sailing from PalOs on his
first voyage to America he exacted
what he believed to be a promise from
the king and queen that whatever
profitF might accrue as a result Of the
adventure should be employed for the
crusade In his journal, under the
date of December 26, 1892, we read the
hope that his men find "tuns" Of gold
and spices Gin such quantity that, be-
fore three years the s0vereigns Will
undertake to prepare to go and con-
,quer the holy sepulcher," "that all the
profits of this, my undertaking, should
be spent in the conquest of Jerusa-
lem."
This plous ambition is ascribed to an
incident which occurred while the
Spanish sovereigns were at war
against Granada, during the siege Of
Baza, at which Columbus was present.
While before the city two friars ar
rived with a message from the grand
Soldan of Egypt in which the MOslem
threatened to put to death all the
Christians in his domlnions and de-
strOy the holy sepulcher at Jerusalem
If the war against the Moslems Of Gra-
NADIA was not terminated.
The Indignation of Columbus was so
intense at this menace that he formed
resolutions that were never forgotten.
That he should aspire to the recovery
of the holy place was not unusual, for

Making Gas From Wood.

Experiments on wood as part Substi-
tute for coal in gas making have been
carried out in France. The wood used
was sea pine in the form of billets cut
from the middle of the trunk. The
charge of the wood was about half the
weight of that of coal, and carboniza-
ton occupied half the usual time.
When running one retort with wood to
