WRITES WILSON
 HIS DEDUCTIONS
 ON THE ELECTION
pr. Scale Harris Tells Sen- timents Inspired by Armistice Day
 Memories

Moved by the sentiments of Armi- stce Day and the lessons drawn from the national election, Dr. Scale Harris, president of the Southern Medical association. has written to Woodrow Wilson, first citizen of the world" drawing some Interesting de- auctions. Dr. Harris, who was lieu tenant colonel in the medical corps two years during the war. and editor of War Medicine" in France, was in Paris for 10 months during the war and while the peace conference was in session.
 His letter to the former president Is as follows:
 My dear MT. Wilson: Armistice Day brings memories of events that led to the allies victory. The world owes more to you than to any other man for Germanys defeat. Your keeping your head when the jingoes were blaming you for not rushing into war kept us out until the coun- try was ready to support you in carrying on war. Great men have told me that the draft act could not have been passed day earlier than it did. If the United States had de- pended on a volunteer army, we could not have carried the millions to France that turned the tide of bat tie against the Germans.
 Your words carried hope to war worn France and other allied eoun- tries that kept them from making German peace. Your diplomacy shortened the war By one or two years. Your wisdom in not break ing diplomatic relations with Bull garia, thus keeping her minister in Washington where he learned the hopelessness of Germany's position. caused that nation to first lay down arms. Your policy of the self de- termination of peoples resulted in the dlsintegration of the Austro- Hun garian empire, causing that country to desert Germany. Your announcing to the starving Germans that the allies would not make peace with Germany's imperial government caused the overthrow of the Kaiser and broke the morale of the Ger man soldiers at the front. Your di- plomacy in ending the war year or two before it otherwise would have ended saved hundreds of thousands of American lives and millions of Europeans now are living who would have been sacrificed had it not been for your wisdom.
 Insane Jealousy
 "Your efforts for everlasting peace would have been successful had it not been for the insane jealousy of a few republican senators, whose vicious suggestions that the League of Nations meant overthrowing our constitution, caused a majority of Americans to have brain storm in 1920. America's failure to enter the T crime of the age next to Germany's bringing on the war. Millions are TOW dead In Europe and millions more will die of hunger or disease resulting from malnutrition because of this insane jealousy of republican leaders.
 There Is mass, or national, in- sanity, as well as insanity of individ- uals. The German nation was Insane following the leadership of her para noiac Kaiser Austro Hungaria, Bull garia and Turkey followed the Kaiser's insane delusions. No one doubts but that the Russian nation Is insane today.
 The Greek nation was crazy to give up Venzoelas for a regal nonentity- The French nation is insane with fear of Germany and with the am- DlllOH IO QOlnlndl0 4IQlOPSs Aiio tetA to French army, eager to enter Ger many and overrun Europe, Is the greatest menace tC world peace to- day. This would not have been per- mitted had America joined the League of Nations with your ideals dominating in that body. It was in- sanity that caused the French to re- pudiate Clemenceau, who kept France from making German peace in June. 1918. The British people kept their heads longer than any of us but reason seems to have been de- thrlned there with the overthrow of her greatest statesman.
 'Our country was crazy in 1920 or 1t would not have substituted for your high ideals the policy of greed, selfishness and prejudice of the re- publicans. Tuesdays elections show that the people of the United States are recovering their sanity. When history Is written. unless it be dCne by liars like those employed by tho Encyclopedia Britannica, you will be recorded as the greatest statesman of this or any other age.
 Please remember me to the angel by your side, Mrs. Wilson; and to your devoted physician. Cary Gray son.
 With best wishes fer your future health and happiness. am, sincerely yours,
