President himself.
complete and most competent sur
Vey or the Wilson period from one
specially qualified for certain i'm.
portant parts of the work. A clear
picture OF men and affairs at a vital
point in history. An amazingly
worthwhile book to the student, q
most interesting one to the general
reader. A curious characteristic of
Mr.. Wilson stands out here as it
stood out in THE Letters of Col.
House, as 1t stands out in an intimate
study of Mr.. Wilson. Either Wood
row Wilson drew to him men strange
ly like himself in certain respects or
he made them over through associa-
ton into his own likeness. Probably
1t was the former. Not necessary to
go into the House likeness to Wood
row Wilson. You'll see it for your.
SELF. Here the kinship between the
former President and this writer is
that of the mind, of a certain supe-
rlority of the intellect that registers
IN an intolerance toward those of
lesser endowment of smaller attain
ments. Within the informal discus
sion or the Cabinet here, there is the
same arrogance as Mr.. Wilson had
toward the smaller men around him.
Many pages here go into evidence
that certain colleague really hadn't
any brain at all, that he was child
in thinking and pest in futile activ-
tiles. l mention this, not at all in
criticism, but only in noting the fact
that either Mr.. Wilson made certain
associates over into his own intel
lectual likeness or he deliberately
picked men of that sort. Which,
wonder? However, this has nothing
to do with the validity and scope and
quality of a most absorbing political
and personal study of great idealist,
great dreamer, a great actor in one
of the worlds momentous periods, of
great political beacon for youth to
follow and Of q very human man.

FEUD SUSPECTS HELD
ON SHOOTING CHARGE
Three Jailed at Stuart, Va, Ac

Enemies in Gun Fight.
By the Associated Press

by the Associated Press.
ROANOKE, Va, February Ser
nest Shelton, Frank CLANCY and Ora
Turner were placed in Jail at Stuart
last night following their arrest at
Fayerdale, in connection with the
shooting to death Sunday afternoon
of David Cox, his brother, Mayard,
and Turner Hall, who were slain in
a gun fight said to have been the
elimination of a moonshine gang
rivalry, according to word reaching
here. They were taken to Stuart in
custody Of Sheriff S. e. Mays and his
deputies.
The trouble between Hall and the
Cox brothers began short time ago,
a witness said, when a still believed
to belong to Hall was destroyed by
revenue officers. who are alleged to
have been supplied with information
by the brothers
Hall. with Shelton, his brother-in-
law, it il said, retaliated by raiding
a still alleged to belong to the Cox
brothers, destroying the outfit and a
quantity of whisky, at the same time
driving the brothers away.
This affair was said to have been
followed about week ago by the
ambushing incident when Bunyan
Nichols was wounded. 1t was as a
result of this that Hall is reported to
have sworn out the warrant charging

were held in readiness nearby as If
they were in Shanghai.
At any rate no definite decision is
expected until it Is seen what is the
Chinese reaction to the American suG-
gestion that the warning factions in
China give an undertaking to keep
the Shanghai area free from fighting.
This proposal by Secretary of State
Kellogg is responsible in large meas
ure for the feeling of optimism over
the situation.
Another ray of hope is seen in the
report reaching London that Chu-
chow, advanced base of the Cantonese
armies in Chekiang, has been captured
by the forces of Marshal Sun Chuan-
Fang, the Cantonese being in retreat
toward the southwest. If this proves
to be correct, it will serve to allay the
fears for the safety of Shanghai.
Envoy FavOrs Diversion.
Mr.. O'Malley, who has been engaged
in direct negotiations with the Can
tonese foreign minister at Hankow,
Eugene Chen. is said to strongly adj
vocate diversion of the defense forces
to Hongkong. Chen refused to con-
tinue negotiations for an agreement
until the British agreed to withdraw
the forces from Shanghai, and Mr..
O'Malley is believed to hold the opin-
ion that only by compliance with
Chen's request in this respect can
there be speedy resumption of the
discussions.
Official circles in Paris also are
pleased with the American proposal
that the Shanghai area be made a neu-
trail zone. 1t was pointed out that the
United States was better able to make
the suggestion than other powers,
since it had no concessions in Shang-
hal.
Sweden Calls Out Missionaries.
