is a Christmas tree. the grove adjoin-

this lavishness of Mother Nature along

The Presidents Work At Paris

From The Louisville CUurler-JournaL
Reviewing the history that has been
made at Paris the past five months, II
is impossible TO escape the belief that
its results would have been very dit
ferent but for President Wilson'S
presence. While some of the Old
World statesmen who sat II the peace
table We're in their dreams, 10 2 Ger
tam extent ideahsts that they did not
regard ideallsrn as much Of 2 workable
theory IN the condition that confronted
them. The President did, and unques-
tionably il is due to his fidelity 10 that
conviction, his patience, persistence
and diplomacy, that 2 peace treaty III
timately Was drafted which approach
es as near as il does the ends for
which, in lis latter stages, We profess
ed TO fight the war
That the treaty attains those ends
completely, that II is al that il should
be, no contends. But with It's
provisions for 2 League To promote
world peace il marks the most en-
hghtened and advanced step ever
taken In the march Of civilization and
offers the most hopeful charter ever
formulated for the emancipation Of
mankind from the law Of the jungle,
which heretofore has been the law Of
nations. And for this the credit must
be given Woodrow Wilson more than
10 any other man.
