The world missed a great novelist
in Woodrow Wilson. His spontaneity
was genius itself.
The death of the first Mrs. Wilson
in 1914 nearly wasted away the
moody husband who survived her.
The courtship and marriage follow
ing a tomb-like melancholy of six
months in the White House, which
alarmed his physicians and family,
gave Woodrow Wilson the inspira.
ton to carry on in the great war.
1t was the largest single factor in
prolonging his life four years and
half beyond the ill-omened day when
there came an end to his famous
speaking trip for the League of Ma.
tions.
The Physical Collapse
Consistency he often threw to the
winds, obstinacy reared itself i'm.
placably at moments when compro-
mise would have won the day. That
which happened before his physical
collapse must be judged differently
from that which occurred thereafter.
Had he retained his health, Woodrow
Wilson, just as sure as day follows
night, would have accepted feserva-
tions to the Versailles treaty and se-
cured thereby the acceptance by tho
United States Of membership In the
League of Nations. He was almost
persuaded to do so on his sick bed, Z
but his illness induced a conscious
ness of martyrdom which, together
with the exclusion Of outside advice.
made him irritable and inf1exible.

study, however, is not to construct a
defense of the temperament of Wood
