And the Senate claims he didn't"
Morris continued. And now Mr.. Will

to prove that he was right in going
to Europe. and maybe when he gets
back from this speaking tour. the
Senate will claim that he didn't put it
over again. and he will have to go on
another speaking tour to prove that
he was right in going on the first
speaking tour and what Is going to be
the end, Abe?''
at certainly looks as if when a
President begins to travel, it's got to
keep on travelling" Abe commented.
And when a President travels, it
amt a case of Mrs. Wilson saying:

does not lessen the debt of the
yictors to him. There is not a
nation that must not acknowledge
that whatever humanity pene-
trated through the horrors Of
war was mainly at his mediation.
The story is only half told. Every
day new instances are forthcom-
ing. The debt is largely on the
Allied side. The Turk was foe
to be dreaded, because of unprin-
cipled ferocity. To him war was
a blanket excuse for slaughter.
The Turk stood on the sill of vic
tory for nearly four years. Only
one voice was ever needed in Con-
stantinople. and it was that of
the emissary Of the Holy Father.
