journey that resembIed a "triumphal
procession"
After the preliminary sessions of the
peace conference President Wilson re
turned to the United States In Febru-
airy, returning to Paris March 10, 1919.
He signed the peace treaty June %,
1919, and returned to the United States
July s. His second term as president
expired March 3. 1920.
After his retirement from the presl-
dency Mr.. Wilson lived quietly, making
a partly successful fight to regain his
health. He occasionally went to the
theater and rode much In his car about
the environs of Washington. He bought a
home In Washington and In 1921
formed a law partnership with Balm
bridge Colby, who had been his secre-
tary Of state, succeeding Robert Ian
sing. He took part In the funeral pro-
cession Of President Harding In Wash
ingtoR and was the recipient of much
| public attention.
Mr.. Wilson's last public utterance
was last fall. November 10, 1923, the
eve of Armistice day, he spoke by radio
to the American people, defending his
peace policy and saying that the Amer
/ lean people had withdrawn into 'sul-
len and selfish isolation which Is deeply
| ignoble because manifestly cowardly
and dishonorable."
Armistice day Mr.. Wilson briefly adj
dressed thousands from the front steps
of his home, concluding thus:
Il am not one of those that have the
least anxiety about the triumph Of the
principles I have stood for. 1 have
seen fools resist Providence before and
l have seen their destruction, as will
come upon these again-utter destruc-
ton and contempt. That we shall pre-
vail is as sure as that God reigns.
Thank you"
