To Make the World Free Was Woodrow Wilson's Aim

mittees and other organized groups.
Up the academic ladder he climbed
at Bryn Mawr, at Wesleyan, at Prince
ton. AS his self assurance grew, he even
thawed to the extent Of becoming tenn
porarily a football coach at Wesleyan.
Soon he was acknowledged to be the
rising star of the Princeton faculty and
was broadening his reputation outside
the college by his books and lectures.
And when he was As something hap
pened which must have been almost in
credible to those who had known only
the shy little Tommy Wilson of Augusta.
The president of Princeton resigned;
and with the enthusiastic and almost
unanimous acclaim of trustees, faculty
and students, Woodrow Wilson became
the new president of.the university.
From this point on. curious spiral
pattern was to repeat itself again and
again in Wilson's career. He had an in
tense moral zeal; he had the ability to
frame an effective program Of action and
push it ingeniously, and, although his
health would always be frail, he was
somehow re-created by the presence Of
great audience, 50 that he could carry
on unfalteringly through a weary cam
paign and capture his hearers wherever

Washington at this time when he estab-
lished his family on Little Hunting
Creek
Augustine Washington, who was the
father of Gen. George Washington by
his second wife, Mary Ball, did not reside
on the Hunting Creek property very long,
since the home he erected in 1735 burned
to the ground four years later. Angus
tine died l743, and that year his eldest
son, Lawrence-by the first wife, Jane
Butler, who had married Anne, eldest
daughter of William Fairfax-rebuilt
the house-probably on the same
foundations-which he named Mount
Vernon, in honor of Admiral Vernon.
This alliance between George Washing
tons half brother and Anne Fairfax
naturally brought the two families close
together.
As to Lord Fairfax, the sixth Of this
line, we are told by Archdeacon Burnaby
that, Early in life he had formed an
attachment to a young lady OF quality,
and matters had proceeded so far as
to induce him to provide carriages,
clothes, servants, and the necessary ap-
pendages for such an occasion. Un-
fortunately, or rather let me say for
tunately, before the contract was sealed
a more advantageous offer was made to
the lady, and she preferred the higher
honor of being duchess to the inferior
station of a baroness.
This disappointment is thought to
have made a deep impression on Lord
Fairfax's mind and to have had no
inconsiderable share in determining him
to retire from the world and to settle
in the wild and, at that time almost
uninhabited forests Of North America.
"1t is thought to have excited In him
a general dislike Of the sex, In whose

he went But he was never quite one OF
the boys. He tended to hold himself
aloof, especially from men whom he
could not win over to his side.
At length there would come . time
when he would overreach himself. the
battle would be joined, and his enemies
would 90 savagely after his scalp. Yet
In each such crisis he was rescued by
scrne new opportunity which his grow
ing strength as q public leader had
brought his way.
AS president of Princeton he cham
pioned a series OF reforms, jammed
through the first ones successfully. then
tried to remake the social structure Of
the university on more democratic
lines and ran head-on into a violent
quarrel-the sort of quarrel from which
there seemed to be no way out but resig-
nation. He seemed to have been stopped.
But his ardor as a spokesman for demo-
cratic values had caught the attention
Of some shrawd politicians, and they Of
fered him the Democratic nomination
for the governorship Of New Jersey
Just In time to enable him to resign
from Princeton without humiliation.
Entranoed at being at last IN real poll
tics, Wilson storned the State and won
the election.

Fort Belvoirl To many this name
might mean only what 1t is today-a
suilitary training camp in nearby Vir-
ginia. But then, of course, after all,
that certainly does mean a great deal,
when we consider the part 1t is playing to
win the war-and it certainly is per-
forming considerable part in this con-
nection. But the name Belvoir is not
recent one, as some might suppose, since
1t runs back in American history at least
200 years, when it was the name of one
of the great estates of this country, and
in Colonial days, and subsequently, it
appears in records as often as Mount
Vernon, Hampton, Westover, Mount Airy
and other famous homes and estates
along the Potomac. Patuxent, Kappa
hammock and the James rivers.
The old mansion which once stood on
this vast property of Belvoir, was erected
by William Fairfax, who was the Colonial
agent for his cousin, Thomas, the sixth
Baron Fairfax, on site near the edge OF
the bluff, at the highest point, and over
looking the Potomac River. According to
the map, the mansion stood about mid
way between Dogue Creek and Gunston
Cove and Accotink Bay. Nearby is
Mount Vernon on the north side of
Dogue Greek, and Gunston Hall is south
ward of Gunston Cove.
Belvoir should be of rare interest to
all Americans particularly because of
the relation between it and the home Of
Washington, which is only 21a miles dis
tant to the south, and naturally it is of
much interest to Washingtonians because
OF It's historic value and its proximity
to the Capital itself.
1t is presumed that the Fairfax home
was built about 1875, for 1t is said that
William Fairfax accompanied Augustine

However, It was a year after the sur
render that Lord Fairfax died.
Lord Thomas Fairfax bequeathed
Greenway Court to his nephew, Col.
Martin, and his. barony descended to his
only surviving brother, Robert Fairfax.
Robert Fairfax died In 1893. The barony
then devolved upon William Fairfax
who built Belvoir, and who departed
for England on business trip in 1774,
and never returned to America. 1t was
during his absence, in 1888, while the
house was in charge Of a steward, that
through some accident the building was
burned to the ground and never rebuilt.
But the site Of the residence and some
facts relating to 1t are still obtainable,
although no positively authentic paint
ing or drawing Of 1t has yet been found.
About decade ago James F. Duhamel
visited the site of Belvoir mansion and
later gave an account of his visit for
the records Of the Columbia Historical

Bv Frederick Lewis Allen.

If you had visited Augusta, Ga, just
after the Civil War and had seen the
Rev. Joseph Wilson's little boy Tommy
playing about the Presbyterian manse
you would hardly have picked him as
future President of the United States.
For this child, brought up in the pious
and reserved atmosphere Of a ministerial
family, was not only an odd little shaver,
bespectacled and shy, but was also
curiously slow to develop. He did not
learn to read until he was 9, could not
read easily until he was IL.
You might have noticed that the intel
lectual life Of the Wilson family was
intense, that the boy was taught by
his father to be precise In the use of
words, and that he responded readily
TO the advice of teacher who told him
to frame q sentence mot as If he were
loading shotgun, but as If he were
loading rife" and so you might have
guessed that If Tommy ever caught up
with his schoolmates he might become
q teacher or writer. But you would never
have expected him to survive in the
hurry -burly of political strife.
And for long years thereafter you
would have continued to have doubts.
Tommy Wilson-who in time dropped
his first name for his middle one,
Woodrow-went on to Princeton, be-
came hugely interested in the study of
politics and particularly of 18th century
English politics, and organized college
debating club where political affairs we're
discussed in parliamentary fashion.
Deciding that the road to political
opportunity led through the law, he
went on to the University of Virginia
Law School. and there he started an
other debating club, at whose meet
ings he spoke brilliantly. But early in
has law course he broke down; his
physique simply could not Keep up with
his ambition, Recovering at length, he
tried the practice of law for while
but got few clients and hated the sor-
did conditions which a young lawyer
met, and 80, discouraged, he went back
to the academic shades, to study pol
ttics once more from books.
Taught at Bryn Mawr.
While studying at Johns Hopkins Uni
versity he produced a remarkable vol
une about Congress-but not the least
remarkable thing about 1t was that he
never saw Congress in action until after
he had finished writing it! Not until
he was almost % (and just married)
did this sheltered young man get his
first steady income producing job-as
an instructor in a newly formed wom-
ems college, Bryn Mawr. Surely, you
would have predicted, here is a man
destined to remain a spectator in the
grandstand of the fierce game of life,
If indeed he ever gets himself organized
in time to get anywhere at all.
But now young Wilson forged ahead.
He was an able lecturer, felicitous
writer. His grasp Of affairs was sure and
exact. Shy as he was in man-to-man
contacts, out Of place as he felt in a
= rough-and- tumble crowd, he knew from
the books all the principles Of admins
tration and leadership, and he found
that he could not only sway men from

company, unless he was particularly ac-
quainted with the parties, it is said he
was reserved and under evident con-
straint and embarrassment. But I was
present when, upon a visit Of ceremony
to Lt.-Gov Fauquier, who had arrived
from England, he was introduced to his
lady, and nothing Of the kind appeared
to justify the observation. He remained
in the palace three or four days, and
during that time his behavior was
courteous, polite and becoming man
Of fashion.
Lord Fairfax retired to America IN
1746. He found settled in Virginia his
cousin William Fairfax, who became his
agent and whose son eventually sue
ceeded him as the eighth lord.
For some time he lived at Belvoir,
the house of his cousin, on the banks Of
the Potomac.
Fairfax was interested In young
George Washington. and from the time
when the future President was . lad
OF Is, visiting Belvoir frequently, his
lordship never missed an opportunity to
advance his fortune.
In 1748 Lord Fairfax employed
George Washington and George William
Fairfax, son of William Fairfax, as sur
veyers. They worked for month in
the upper part Of the Northern Neck Of
Virginia
Later, however, Lord Thomas Fairfax
erected Greenway Court, in the beauti-
full valley Of the Shenandoah. where he
remained until his death In 1882, In his
Goth year and Is buried at Winchester.
Among his neighbors he was popular
and had many friends, and was un-
molested by the Wings, although frank
and open in his adherence to Great
Britain. But when the news arrived Of

As Governor he entered another spiral
He had owed his nomination to a group
of machine bosses. They had given it
to him without strings. but in the belief
that, after the traditional manner Of
wardroom politics, he would be grateful
and play ball with them. He did not;
he cut loose from them, swept a stiff
reform program through the State Leg
islature with strong popular backing,
and when the bosses turned to rend him,
went after them tooth and nail.
Another struggle developed which
probably would have gone against him
but so striking had been his guberna-
torial career that he was given the DEM
ocratic nomination for the presidency of
the United States. In the fall Of 1912,
with the Republican party divided, he
was elected; and at the age of 56 he
entered the White House.
On Familiar Ground.
Al President, once more he moved on
to success. Now he was on familiar
ground: for few men knew the govern
mental machinery Of the country as he
did. or had given thought as he had to
the great possibilities Of presidential
leadership. Wilson drew up a program
Of progressive legislation and with un-
precedented skill he marshaled support
for 1t in an unusually recalcitrant Con-
gress and carried it through, measure
by measure.
Again the opposition gathered its
forces. Unexpected problems arose to
plague Wilson. Frictions developed. Op-
ponents found him stubborn and stiff
necked. He Just managed to win re-
election and presumably would have
been in for a stormy second term had
not Germanys unrestricted submarine
warfare dragged the United States into
the First World War early in 1917. Now
he was the war leader of a united Ma
ton.
Wilson had hated taking the United
States into the war-had held back,
suffered agonies of indecision, resisted
for long time the clamor for battle
incurred the ridicule Of people who
thought this professor was devoid of
red blood; but when the time came, his
great war message-one of the memora-
BILE documents of American history
brought him new and Immense
prestige.
Throughout the war the President
conserving his limited strength by dele
eating his war duties to subordinates
was preparing himself and public opin-
ion everywhere for the greatest task
OF his life-that of framing the peace
In this work he was in his element. His

Q lasting settlement ito make the world
safe for democracy" chow ironical that
phrase came to sound laterD, his knack
for the strategy Of persuading masses
of men-all these increased his power
Acclaimed by Many Nations.
As the war drew to its end he ap.
preached his greatest moment 1t wa.
on the basis of his Fourteen Points-his
own idea of fair settlement-that the
Germans, beaten back from French soil

the surrender at Yorktown, 1t proved too
much for his national pride, and the
downfall Of the British cause wrought
by George Washington. the man he had
trained and nodded, was his death blow,
and snapped the attenuated thread Of
his existence. Indeed, in Wheem's Life
Of Washington" we are told: when
old Lord Fairfax heard that Washing
ton had captured Lord CORVALLIS and
all his army he called to his black
waiter. Come Joe! carry me to bed, for
1t Is high time for me to die" And then
the following lines are added:
"Then up rose Joe. all at the ,Dord,
And took his masters arm,
And thus to bed he softly led
