Strange as it may seem to those

MIDDLE AND WESTERN STATES
SWEPT BY TERRIFIC BLIZZARD
Woodrow Wilson to Be Buried
Tomorrow; Services Very Simple

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8. = Mrs.
Woodrow Wilson adheres to the de-
cision to have only simple funeral
for her late husband tomorrow,
without military pomp although the
active pall-bearers will be soldiers.
Although the Government has of
fered to lay the body temporarily
or permanently in the Arlington
Memorial, the family reiterated the
wish that it be placed temporarily
in vault at st. Albin's Cathedral
which looks down upon the former
Presidents home.
Among those seeking to change
Mrs Wilson's decision, was Chief
Justice Taft who declared the world
would not understand If SO great
an American was carried to his last
resting place without ceremony be-
fitting the place he held in life.

LLOYD GEORGE
LAUDS WILSON
Former British Premier Says
Wilson Will Become Great
Figure in History.

CHURT, Eng, Jan. 5.-At his
new country home here, former
British Premier David Lloyd George
said:
Woodrow Wilson will become one
of the great figures of history. He
was a man and therefore had his
weaknesses, but he was the first
to embody the ideal of the frater-
nifty of nations into a concrete plan.
Like the founder of Christianity
who was a central figure of history,
and like Lincoln, he pursued his
ideal to a tragic death
His work will be carried on to
his glory and the permanent benefit
of mankind"
"The tragedy of it all is that
Wilson's failing was his inability
to subdue personalities and his re-
fusal to give up personal animosity
'If as President he had been will
ing to sacrifice personal prejudices
to obtain the general support of his
people he could have realized his
League of Nations ideal.
when / visited him in Wash
ington, he was still as bitter as ever
against his opponents But after all
he was tenderfoot in politics.
Lloyd George said the hatred be-
tween Wilson and Roosevelt was the
most savage he had ever known.
