The caffeine of coffee

TO WORK FOR WORLD PEACE

Ex-President Wilson in recent in
terview denied that he intended writ
ing history of the Paris Peace con-
ference. He said that the actions and
deliberations of that body should be
written by historians other than him
self, because of his close connection
with the Paris conference.
When that history is written by an
unprejudiced historian large portion
of credit will be given to Woodrow
Wilson for his arduous patriotic work
in connection with that great event.
In this interview the president
said he would devote himself upon re-
tiremnt to private life to a continua-
tion of his efforts toward world pcace.
The delegation that called upon Mr..
Wilson said they were deeply touched
by the presidents faith in the ulti-
mate accomplishment of his efforts
towards peace and by the almost bril-
liant good humor with which he is
leaving the White House.

red to Mrs. Harding, wife of Presi-

The Rail Splitter" an anti-Catho-
lie paper, has this statement:
Word has come to this office to the
effect that Mrs. Harding has chosen a
Roman Catholic woman as her private
secretary, which gives the pope an
other spy in the White House for the
coming four years. We are writing
Mr.. Harding relative to this matter.
Imagine, if you can, the consterna-
