; Aboard President Wilson's Special
Train.-It was the presidents COM
plete utter devotion to the great cause
he was advocatinP-the instruction Of
the American people as 10 the merits
Of the league of nations, that resulted
in the illness that caused the sudden
: termination in Wichita. Kansas, of his
speaking tour. For more than three
weeks, with but occ 4sional days of ~e-
taxation, he had been giving the ulti-
mate ounce of his physical strength
and the last atom of his mentality
! to the task of laying before his fell
low-countrymen his explanation OF
what the league is anu what it means
to the future of the world.
He Won The Hearts OF The Folks
And everywhere he talked he won
; the hearts and the allegiance of his
Thearers. After the people had listen
ed to his expounding Of the league the
objections to it which had been raised
by his opponents seemed trivial The
people saw the thing as it really is.
They coulJ not help but do so, after
his brilliant answers to all the criti-
cisms made by those senators who are
against the pact. But, in accomplish
} ing his task, Mr.. Wilson overstrained
himself.
: Had Been III Several Days
For several days before the aban-
Comment Of the tour, those travelling
. with him noticed signs Of nervousness
about him; but it was only the insist
ence Of DR.. Grayson, his physician,
which caused him to give up his work
p He wanted to speak In Wichita, where
a splendid crowd waited him In a city
that was beautifully decorated In his
honor, but Dr. Grayson would not per.
NIT this. and insisted upon Mr.. WI
= sons immediate return TO Washington
: These close to the president assured
him, and he himself believed, that he
has won his case anyhow, and that
- the few remaining speeches could not
5 have added greatly to tho effect he
l had already produced throughout the
t country,
81 Wanted To Discuss ShaHtuns
r The president had intended at w
e chita to explain further the EhAntung
j matter; how IT was Germany, and not
China, from whom the peninsula waa
taken by Japan, and that only through
n the league Of nations could the pos
a session be returned TO China, its real
and original owner. Mr. Wilson's last
. | speech-at Pueblo, Colo-was one Of
the most powerful he delivered during
his tour. He had intended. On he
