Inside Story Of

a predisposition to ta.k ca'-A aaijy added to thia list of troubles, "Woodrow
Wilson took up the arduous duties of the Presidency with far less physical
equipment than the public generally gave him credit for.
Once in office the round of complexities which brought Mr. Wilson
praise on one side and damnation on the other was not long in starting, and
like a snow ball rolling down hill continued to take on volunje until the day
of his departure from the White House.
Once, In the midst of his seige of
prostration which accompanied the
I first stages of his present illness, he
j debated with himself whether he
; ought not to relinquish his office and
' give way to a successor. Later when
: health had improved and the Dem
ocratic convention at San JFrancisco
was balloting night and day to agree
on a Presidential nominee, Mr. Wll
; son debated with himself whether he
should he a candidate for a third
I term. It could not be said that
1 either subject reached the stage of
J "being considered." But it is known
j that Mr. Wilson gave the subjects
some thought.
These with many other things form
-the highly interesting unwritten chap
j ters of Woodrow Wilson's life. They
wo-ild make a volume of far more
I engrossing reading tnan anything
I that ever had been written about
; :ir-i.
feh a toIuiec might include the
"inside" story of the break with
! Colonel House, his former confiden
tial advisor; it might tell how Mr.
. AVIlson rousing Mr. Ocmcnccaii, the
! French premier, from bed at -j
o'clock one morning. practically
charged the French delegates with
I tampering with the records of the
peace conference proceedings.
It might tell how Mr. Wilson made
up his mind to "nre some oiner
Cabinet officers soon after the resig
nation of Secretary Lansing but de
sisted, because, he said. it would
only add to the popular impression
that, he "couldn't get along with any
body." It might also tell what Mr. WH
I son "said with a smile" to Lloyd
; Oeorge concerning the relative
: strengths of the British and American
navies, and It might disclose that Mr.
Wilson went to the peace confer
ence prepared to withdraw, as he
threatened to do, in its midst.
All these . things, however, if they
do become public, probably will do
so by the pen of the historian after
Woodrow Wilson ,has been assigned
I to his proper niche in the wall of
history. While the principal actors
,4n that series of dramas live, all these
: things are likely to remain behind
'the r.cenes. Mr. Wilson's retirement
to private life is not likely to release
them for public consumption.
Until the beginning of the world
war Mr. AVilson held the attention of
thet country with his swift strokes a?
getting legislation from Congress.
With the coming of the war he de
voted the last two years of his first
term to an attempt to keep the United
States out of the conflict, and as the
seemingly inevitable drift toward war
set in, he gradually assumed the di
plomatic leadership of the nations ar
rayed against Germany and her allies,
and finally assumed what his parti
sans characterized as the moral lead
ership of the world.
During the diplomatic correspond
ence with Germany he displayed
many homely human emotions.
On May 7, 1915, when Mr. Wilson
heard the news of the sinking of the
Lusitania, he w.as almost at the end
of his patience. Like a man making
a last effort to avoid a quarrel with a
wife who has just laid on the last
straw, he cla.pped on his hat and went
ou't and walked around the block. He
knew how to give vent to hs emotions
on other occasions and has been
known to say something stronger
than the "itut-tut" which has been ac
credited to him on having made a
faux pas at golf. However cold and
austere he may have been accounted
in his dealings with public men, those
who have been privileged to view his
family life from the inside of the
circle testify that he is intensely hu
man. What part he may take in publie
affairs in the future, living as he will
almost under the shadow of the dome
of the Capitol, is causing lively specu
lation. So far as the records show
no other president has remained in
Washington after going out of office.
Mr. Wilson first intended to live In
Baltimore. He and the present Mrs.
Wilson settled it, by- playing a game
the president invented during an idle
hour on the 'earner George Washing
ton on one of the trips to and from
the peace conference. It was a game
of percentages with certain scores al
lotted to the various advantages or
amusements of life of which both
were most fond. Baltimore, as the
game worked out, had the highest
total. But breakdown and continued
illness intervened and it was decided
to remain in Washintgon, where al
most all of Mrs. Wilson's family re
side, i
The new home, .bought recently, is
on an elevation in the northwest resi
denece section not far from a site long
held by the Imperial German gov
ernment for embassy. Mr. Wilson ex
pects to spend the future almost on
the spot where the Kaiser expected
his ambassador to si.
Because of the secrecy which has
been thrown around his physical con
dition, the country is probably most
interested in that Just now. Mr. Wil
son is convalescent so far as nature
nermits from what medically is
called thrombosis a blood clot in one
of the arteries on the right side of his
brain which impairs the motor nerves
in the left arm and leg. He can walK
short distances alone with the aid of
a cane; longer distances require the
use of a wheel chair. Walking up
and down stairs is a precarious exper
iment seldom attempted.
