nor would he ever permit 1t so to
be used. The trouble with his
peculiar kind of humanness was
this-it did not bubble, 1t did not
effervesce. 1t did not sparkle. And
was only shy; they mistook his
gentility for austerity. But that
kind Of man will live in the hearts
and thoughts of men forever.

Wilson: neither did they UNDER

that he is dead, we shall get new
and clearer glimpse into that big
heart, and then perhaps we shall
see how full 1t was of love for
honor, justice and humanity. The
spark transmitted by Woodrow
Wilson may shoulder for genera
lions under ashes, but the ap-
pointed time will come when 1t
will flare up to bring peace to a
stricken world. And then those
who misunderstood him and mis-
interpreted the fine things he
rub their eyes and wonder and
regret.

then watched the things he had

PARIS, February ANDRE Tar
deau. in the Echo National, writes:
'The people of France will not
forget that If Woodrow Wilson might
have been mistaken in certain poll
| tical aspects of the peace. he gave
his whole mind, soul and will to
the war. He fell fighting on the bat
tlefield of peace for those ideas of
collabora eion to which the short
sighted egoisms who put the world
where it now is have persisted in
! turning their backs.
France, after honoring him. be-
came unjuStly severe to him. When
time shall have struck just mean
our country will remember that this
great associate in the war was de-
:irivcd of office for having wished
to remain our associate in peace"
LOeuvre says:
NO man ever. after raising such
high hopes. finally caused such deep
disappointment"
Great Democratic Figure.
"a great democratic citizen, who
threw the Irresistible force of his
country into the balance of the war
in our favor" says the Petit Parisien.
1T was not granted to him to realize
his conceptions, but French women
are mourning today, for each of
whom he saved child. husband or
brother; they. lament him. To Will
sons memory France will be eternally
grateful"
Stephane Lauzanne, in the Matin
says: ITO him we owe to great
degree the entry of America into the
war he welded three Amer
icas. Atlantic, Middle and Pacific, into
unity"
The Intransigeant says: Woodrow
Wilson could look back with pride
on having powerfully aided by his
personal action the defeat of Ger
many in defense of an invaded, ruined
people"
The Temps, in its leader designates
former President Wilson as "a great
figure"
One of Peace'S Victims.
Woodrow Wilson," says the paper,
can be regarded as one of peace's
victims-that peace of 1919, which
devoured its makers. with possibly
two exceptions, Pachitch and Benes."
The Temps recalls Mr.. Wilson's op-
position to the entry of the United
States into the war, quoting phrases
from his speeches and writings, is
ance without, it explains, any inten-
tion of diminishing the credit due
him later, but as showing that "if
tomorrow any one defends the demo-
the so-called Wilsonan principles he
will be committing fraud. for Mr.
Wilson spoke and acted according to
circumstances and perhaps never had
clear conception of the illusory
ideals with which he is credited"
The paper then goes on to say that
France and the allies ought to have
a lasting gratitude for Mr.. Wilson
for three reasons" setting these forth
as follows:
Big Troop Movement.
"Incredible acceleration in sending
American troops to France after the
German offensive of March, 1918; his
replies to Germany's request to OBJ
tain an armistice in October. 1918,
which certainly contributed to the
overthrow of the Hohenzollerns, and
his determination to found a society
of nations. which was without plan
but the idea was none the less gener-
ouS"
Woodrow Wilson's chief fault, for
which he paid dearly" the Temps de-
clares. was love Of glory and love of
enjoying it alone

Tumulty Tells of Misunder-

Wilson Labored.

Joseph p. Tumulty. secretary to
former President Wilson during
both his administrations, issued
the following statement on the
death of his former chief:
Il am broken hearted by this
terrible news. Eleven years of in
innate association with this great
man, both in New Jersey and in
the Capital of the nation, have
builded in my heart in blocks of
everlasting granite an affection,
an admiration. and, / trust, a 10y
atty. that has continued to this
eventful moment.
America never needed more
than at this critical hour the sus-
tanning force of the broad ideal
ism of Woodrow Wilson, and 1t Is
too bad that this figure, like
mighty oak, has toppled over and
fallen when his voice might have
called us back to those knightiy
days when his influence was used
to help a depressed nation and to
bring peace to a stricken world.
He was not only human, but he
was great. His humanness. how
