carried the balloon with il. Starting
from St. Louis, he landed in the top Of

woods in his 1919 fight. The balloon
was in the air about twenty hours and
covered $50 miles. Won Hoffman was
not expecting either the pine woods or
the chill Of Canada on this trip. accord

were expecting to land on someone's

accordingly. Instead. they spent three

DETECTIVES OF THE LEGION
National Commander Galbraith Out

The detectives of the American Lee
gion for the year 1921 were told by
F. W. Galbraith, Jr., national com
mander, in recent speech In Gin
cinnati, at dinner attended by LIE
gionnaires and business men.
Mr.. Galbraith cited the disabled
mans problems as the Legion's para
mount concern and termed the finding

"Woe unto the man." he added, TOR

fully stands in the way of paying the
honorable obligation the government
owes these men. Whoever he is he
will have to get out"
He warned against the activities Of
the I. w. w. and kindred organiza-
lions and outlined the position of the
Legion as follows:
"The time has come when a line
must be drawn between loyal and dis
loyal Americans. We do not claim to
have a monopoly on patriotism but
because Of our service our loyalty is
4 little clearer to our hearts and is q
little more intense. We intend to
crush this thing, II 1t ever raises its
head, that we already have fought and
licked"
Mr.. Galbraith also spoke Of the de-
sire of the Legion to unite with the
veterans associations of the allies, In
order to promote international amity.

enthusiastic" he said. "They declare
that we believe ourselves to be the
only patriots. God knows we are not.
If we were 1t would be sorry day for

them to help US because without their
good will and assistance we can ac-

EITHER Woodrow. Wilson nor

them it would be folly to try to fore
tell. Nevertheless, much Of the record
of the presidency is made un and
closed, and may be summarized at
least, although 1t is perhaps foolhardy
to venture into the flames of passions
that blind men alike to the merits and
dement's of almost every president
while he remains the central figure Of
partisan strife. "a statesman is
politician who is dead" said Thomas
B. Reed.
In this age of ours, when men are

WILSON WILL ENTER
INTO LIFE OF sECLUSION.

WASHINGTON, Feb. president
Wilson plans to go into virtual seclu-
sion for time after March 4.
Freed from the responsibilities of Of
fee, which have weighed heavily upon
him during his convalescence, Mr.. VIII
son, his friends say, will shut himself
in for intensive rest and quiet in his
new home.
he will deny himself to all callers
except Immediate members of his fam
lily, it is said, and few intimate
friends.
No formal engagements are expected
to be made by the president until he
shall have adjusted himself to private
life after some ten years in public life
and even the writing he has planned
will be postponed several months, his
friends say.
Mr.. Wilson is understood to have
received invitations to spend part of
the summer out of Washington, but
because of his delight with the weather
here last summer, it is regarded as I'M
likely that he will accept.
For possibly six months, his friends
believe, his life will be taken up with
recreation. The chief diversion since
his illness has been reading. He is
said to have practically exhausted the
field of detective stories, and more re-
Gently has taken up novels and light
stories. He also has given some time
to political and historical works and
poetry.
Since his resumption last week of at
tending the theatre, the president is ex-
pected to continue as his health i'm
proves to find more occasions to avail
himself Of this recreation. He also is
expected to continue his daily automo-
bile rides.
