NOTE Of WARNING
Ex-PREsIDENT BREAKS LONG ST.
LENcE TO BID NATION HEED
CAUSE OF DISTRESS
WAY FROM REVOLUTION CLEAR
Present Unrest Challenges Churches,
Political Organizations and All
Leaders of Humanity

Boston, Mass.-Former President
Woodrow Wilson, breaking for the
first time the silence that has envelop-
ed him since he was stricken with NJ
ness following the signing of the
Treaty of Versailles, writing under
the caption ..The Road Away From
Revolution" sounds a warning that
civilization cannot survive mater
tally unless it be redeemed spiritually.
I'm these dreadful and anxious days.
when all the world is at unrest and,
look which way you will, the road
ahead seems darkened by shadows
which portend dangers of many kinds
says the n who commanded the ship
of state during the World war, at
is only common prudence that we
should look about us and attempt to
assess the causes of distress and the
most likely means of removing them"
Then, avoiding the partisan as he
analyses the existing state of Ameri-
can civilization, the writer goes briefly
to the point Of the matter by making
essentially what is a religious appeal
for a better understanding between
the "haves" and the 'have nots.p
Real ground for the universal I'M
rest" he asserts. "lies deep at the
source of spiritual life and leads to
revolution"
The cause of the Russian revolution,
which he calls the outstanding event
of its kind in our age, was, in his view.
a systematic denial to the great body
of Russians of the rights and privil-
eyes which all normal men desire and
must have If they are to be contented
and within reach Of happiness"
THE world has been made safe for
democracy. There need now be no
fear that any such mad design as that
entertained by the ~insolent and igno-
rant H~ohenzollerns and their counsel
ors may prevail against 1t. But dem
has not yet made the world
safe against irrational revolution.
supreme task, which Is nothing
less than the salvation of civilization,
now faces democracy. There is no es-
II. unless everything we have
built is presently TO fall In ruin about
and the United States, as the great
est of democracies, must undertake IT,.
1.-The road that leads away from
revolution is clearly marked, for 1t is
by the nature Of men and Of
organized society. 1t, therefore, be-
1ooves us to study very carefully and
7ery candIdly the exact nature Of the
ask and the means Of its accomplish

1.-The sum Of the whole matter is
his, that our civilization can not sur
i've materially unless II be redeemed
'piritually. Here Is the final challenge
0 our churches, to our political organ-
and to u capitalists-to ev-
who fears God or loves his

SLAYER OF RENOvh
MERCHANT WILL HANG
hoy Walsh Found Guilty of Numbering
Albert johnson In Store
HoIdup

Builder. Mont-Roy Walsh, on trial
in the Jefferson county district eourt
for the murder of Albert johnson, at
Renova, July DC. was found guilty in
the first degree by the jury, which
fixed the penalty at hanging. SEN
tence Is to be pronounced August 8.
After Walsh had testified, the de-
Tense rested and arguments were be-
gun.
Walsh contradicted himself In sew
eral important particulars, after hav-
Ing admitted hat he had accidentally
fired the shot which killed johnson,
and denied afterward that he had
made the admission. He attempted to
Introduce a letter which he had writ
ten his attorney shortly after his ar
rest, declaring that he had been shot
at just after johnson had opened the
door of his store In response to a sum-
mons.
This shot, he suggested, had been
fired by one of two men with johnson
just before he had closed his store,
and was the one which killed the mer-
chant. In the letter he also contra
dicted a previous statement that his
own rifle had been discharged when
he stumbled. The rifle, he asserted,
had not been fired for at least 30 days.
Judge Bennett, however, ruled the
letter out of evidence as a privileged
communication between lawyer and
