Whatever the troth of the whole affair, tie president H

he i deceitful or he regards himself as a monarch. If the

tor the true cause of the breach, he has attempted to de

Either construction is bound to discredit the president
fa the eyes of his countrymen and to force the conclusion
that Kr Wilson baa lost" his mental faculties to a degree
that makes him an ansafe leader. It is difficult to con
fceive that any sane man would expect the wheela of .gov

History will record that America saved the world from

gave up the fight solely because she saw an almost never
