Former President
Wilson's Life End
Death Came Peacefully at Wash
ington Sunday. Entire Country
Sorrows

WASHINGTON Woodrow
Wilson, president of the United
States for 8 years and the second
Democrat elected to that office
since the civil war, died at his
home here Sunday.
He had been in broken health for
years and his condition became criti-
cal four days before death relieved his
sufferings.
Rear Admiral Cary T. Gravson
personal physician to Mr.. Wilson dur
ing the turbulent Years of the war
presidents administration attended
him in his last illness, doing all within
his power to assure a painless, peace
tul passing to the man whose path for
the last decade was one of rocks and
brambles in public life e Other doc
tors were also in constant attendance
and consultation.
Animosities Buried
Only the mature judgment of history
can assign Wilson his certain place
He lived and worked and ruled in the
years that produced Kaiser Wilhllm,
Lloyd George, C1emenceau, Kitchener,
and other men who occupied whole
chapters in world history He reached
the worlds summit of applause DUR
ing the Paris Peace conference and his
ebb, as broken sin body and fame, as
he rode down Pennsylvania avenue
through the sunshine of March a, 1921,
away from the white house forever.
Born of Stern Scotch Presbyterian
stock, Wilson had much of the cold
austerity of Scotlands craigs. To him
there were only two classes of men
those for him and those against him.
He saw no middle ground. Few out
side of his immediate circle loved him,
and he loved few. Millions admired
him for his admitted strength of Wis
ion, idealism and indomitable courage.
Millions hated him for his intolerance
to views other than his own and for
the ruthlessness with which he oppos-
ed. His was lonely, self-controlled
personality.
Yet, with body broken and old age
creeping fast upon him, his closest
friends say he mourned that he could
not awaken love in the hearts of the
people for whom he felt he had done
so much, for whom he had advanced
his ideals.
Wilson's political death softened the
animosities of ruthless politics and the
passing of the ex-president IS today
mourned by nation that always had
the highest respect for, his deep learn
ing. diligent devotion TO what he be-
1ieved were the worlds ideals and
which he adopted as his own.
Mr.. Wilson was born at Staunton,
Va. IS wears ago.

here t cday in official circles, confirm
ing the London report that the pro-

II could not he ascerfained whether
the proposed treaty will contain any
reference with regard to the Jewish Ma

stated that none of the provisions of the

is probable, however, that no such II
motion will he made in the treaty. 1t
is understood that the treaty will CON
fine itself strictly to the question of
American rights in Palestine and will
not touch uuon any outside Political
matters.
1t is anticipated here that the con

ACTING HIGH COMMISSION
Err PLACES SOLUTION OF
IMMIGRATION PROBLEM
SQUARELY UP TO JEWS.
Sir Gilbert Clayton Tells Jewish Col
Onists Of Enek Jezreel That When
They Extend Their Settlements,
Greater Number Of Immigrants Can
Enter Palestine.

Jerusalem-Sir Gilbert Clayton, Act
ing High Commissioner of Palestine,
minced no words in replying to the pc
tition of the Emck Jezreel colonies for
the removal of Jewish immigration re-
strictions, in stating that the solution
Of the immigration problem in Palestine
rests squarcly with the Jews them
selves. Sir Gilbert, in his answer to
the petitioners, declared that II more
colonies were established in the Emek
where the Keren Hayesod built seven
new agricultural settlements last year
the way would be cleared for bringing
in greater number of immigrants.

his answer to the petition. that l an

new immigrants, and | may say that il
my opinion the solving Of the immi
grafton question is dependent far more
on you than upop the English Govern

Upon you lies the obligation to eX
tend your land possessions and to pro
vidCI those conditions which viii onabl,

for the present restrictions remember
that in the latter months many NOR,

an urgent call from responsible Rus.
Sian Jewish leaders, belongs the sug-
gestion that an investigating committee
headed by Mr.. Louis Marshall, proceed
to Russia for this purpose.
A great moment in the history Of
Russian and American Jews presents
itself When one recalls the historical
visits of Sir Moses Montcdore and later
Dr. Ilerzl TO Czarist Russia and their
encouraging influence which are still
remembered in every Jewish household
in Russia, one feels the high Importance
of this suggestion.
The mere appearance Of Jewish
leader of the calibre of Mr. Marshall
before the oppressed and hOpless Jewish
population in Soviet Russia. would in
still new hope into our half despondent
Russian bretheren and encourage them
to continue their struggle toward n
better time. The observations and di-
rect personal impressions brought back
from Russia by Mr.. Marshall to this
country would no doubt create an un-
usually stirring appeal to the hearts
and minds of American Jews. This ap-
peal would beyond doubt fructify II gem
erous and wholehcarted response.

Russian Jewish history terminates.
