A s he stood at the clerks desk in
IA the hall Of the house of repre-
sentatives on the evening of April 2,
1917, President Wilson was the central
figure in one Of the great moments of
world history. Not only his own people
but mankind stopped to listen.
The president had been reelected
only five months before because "he
kept us out Of the war" Alas, the
war would not keep out Of the United
States. 'r
The war took on new fury, with the
resumption Of ruthless summarizing,
which Germany had modified the year
before at our demand. The president
thereupon handed the German ambas-
sador his passports, and next he pro-
posed that we should arm our mer-
chant ships. The filibustering sem
ate failing to give him this authority,
he proceeded himself to arm them. But
shipping vanished from the sea, with
its hidden terror, and at last he called
the newly elected congress in extraor-
binary session to "receive a commune
cation-concerning grave matters Of
national policy"
No other president in the whole
course of his service has had to make
so many momentous decisions as
Woodrow Wilson has had to make in
