Text OF EulOEy.
Eleven years Of intimate associa-
ton with Woodrow Wilson through
three years Of which ran a mighty
current Of international conflict, have
buildeV in my heart in blocks of
granite an affection, an admira ton,
and love that have continued to
this, eventful hour" declared Mr..
Tumulty.
Death, SO terrible and forbiddins
a thing which but leads to wider
worlds and a worthier life, has, at
least, some kindly aspects. 1t
softens the asperities of politics and
brings us now to clearer under
standing of what Woodrow Wilson
sought to do and the great goal of
peace which he longed to reach" said
Mr.. Tumulty.
''It is too bad that this figure. like
a mighty oak, has toppled over and
fallen when his voice might have
called us back to those knightly days
when his influence was used to helI
depressed nation and to bring peace
to a stricken world. Like Lincoln
