kearful asked.
"It Is impossible to define the state
of mind that would adopt a policy or
lack of policy such as the President
followed in Mexico" Wilson replied.
Based on his other policies and
practices 1t might be said that the
policy grew out of obsession OF the
President that all power rests with
the Executive.
Il believed the President assumed
office believing that he held a man

Then comes the big conqueror,
death, to finish the greatest fight
ing career this little fighting planet
has ever known.
Alexander, of course, was plan
ming more fighting. His feet was
ready to sail for the Arabian
coast. He had been carousing,
once too often, at the house of
friend. Even "Jove-born" Alex
ander was not made of iron. The
dreaded swamp fever of Babylon
had seized him and he was DOOM
ed. On the 18th of June, eleven
days after he was stricken, he
died, having first shaken hands
with his veteran fighters as they
passed, weeping by his bed. He
was too weak to speak, but recog-
nized each one, and showed recog-
milton in his eyes.
Many whispered poison" as
they always did in those days. 1t
was not poison, it was death by
fever. After surviving catapults
and swords, the greatest fighter
was killed by a mosquito planting
fever in his blood.

ordered the horse led away. Alex
ander, then a small boy, said,
that is too good horse for those
men to spoil because they haven't
the skill"
Philip was afraid 10 let his boy
try the savage horse, but young
Alexander managed him easily.
Plutarch says once more "he went
straight to the horse, took him by
the bride, and turned him around
toward the sun. This he did on
the theory that the horses fright
was due TO seeing his own shadow
dance up and down on the ground
before him. He then ran along by

Next picture: Philip marries
a young woman named Cleopatra,
although Olympias was still living.
There was as much politics as love
in Philips marriage with Cleo
patra, as also later, in Marc An
tony's marriage to another Cleo
patra, descendant Of one of Alex
ander's generals. Philips Cleo
patra was Macedonian, Olympias
was not. Attalus, foolish father
of Cleopatra, at the wedding drank
to the hope that there might re-
suit a genuine Macedonian sue
cessor to Philips throne. That
was too much for Alexander, al
though he had accepted meekly
enough another mother in the
family. He hurled his beaker at
the head of Philips new father
in-law, shouting: "You scoundrel
what do you think ! am? Am l
a bastard?"
Philip started sword in hand
to attack his son, but half drunk,
slipped and fell. Alexander,
laughing, uttered his famous
taunt. "Here, gentlemen, is q man
who has been preparing to cross
from Europe into Asia; but he
has upset in crossing from one
couch to another" They ate lying
down on couches, in those days.
