—— ey rs The Life of President Wilson Ebbed Peacefully Away. (Continued from page 1, Col. 5.) take up his duties at Washington. The policy of the new administra- tion was outlined in one of the brief- est inaugural addresses ever made to Congress. Among other innova- tions, Mr. Wilson announced a policy of “pitiless publicity” and, until May, 1916, gave semi-weekly audiences to the Washington newspaper corres- pondents. He said the White House would be “wide open” but corres- pondents were not seen by him dur- ing the war. : COUNSELLED NEUTRALITY. When the European conflict burst upon the world in all its fury, Pres- ident Wilson in an address to his fel- low countrymen counselled them to be strictly neutral. Exerting every effort to avert the drawing of the United States into the maelstrom, for nearly three years he drew upon him- self the bitterest criticism of some of his staunchest friends. About this time, speaking of the example of America in regard to peace, he said: “There is such a thing as a man be- ing too proud to fight. There is such a thing as a nation being so right that it does not need to convince others by force that it is right.” Popular resentment against peace at any price was rising in America. Fighting Europe ridiculed Mr. Wil- son’s policy but later accepted the explanation of his friends that he was manoeuvering for delay, that the United States was not prepared to take a big part in the struggle, that the nation was not unitedly for war by reasons of its diverse population and divided sentiment. A tragic moment in the President’s life came, when, sitting at the bed- side of his dying wife, he penned a message to the European powers sug- gesting a peaceful settlement. Mrs. Wilson died on August 6, 1914, and the President took her body to her girlhood home in Rome, Ga., for burial. The family circle had been broken only a short time previously by the marriage of two of the Presi- dent’s daughters, Jessie and Eleanor, one to Francis Bowes Sayre and the other to William G. McAdoo, then Secretary of the Treasury. Mrs. Wil- son’s death left the President alone except for his eldest daughter, Mar- garet, who was absent much of the ‘time in welfare work. On May 7, 1915, the great steam- ship Lusitania was torpedoed and sunk off the coast of Ireland with the loss of 1,500 lives, more than 110 of them American and many women and children. There was a widespread clamor in the United States for war. Ship after ship had been sent to the bottom without warning and this climax came with the sinking on March 24, 1916, of the English Chan- nel steamer Sussex. The President, in a final note, served notice on the German Emperor that he might ex- pect war with the United States if the “inhuman and illegal” practices continued. His warning to Germany that she would be held to a strict ac- countability and his later declaration that America would use “force with- out limit,” stirred responsive chords in the hearts of most Americans. BROKE WITH BERLIN. President Wilson accordingly broke off diplomatic relations with the Ber- lin government and gave Count von Bernstorff, the German Ambassador, his passports. Everybody knew it meant war, that the conflict was close at hand. Meanwhile, a happy domestic event even in the President’s life served to lighten the burden of his official cares. He was married to Mrs. Edith Bolling Galt, the widow of a Wash- ington merchant, who immediately became his constant companion and confidante. Internal affairs in the United States early in 1917 were in a state of restiveness verging on turmoil. En- emy propagandists were busy night and day. The increasing cost of liv- ing was of grave concern to wage earners. Scores of strikes in indus- trial plants and on railroads were fo- mented by Austro-German plotters financed by Count von Bernstorff and aides of Dr. Constantin Theodore Dumba, the Austro-Hungarian Am- bassador, who had been sent back to Vienna. The United States never had been a military nation. Her regular army establishment of 75,000 men seemed pitifully weak when England and France were sending millions of fight- ers to the battle line. President Wil- son at once urged the passage of a conscription bill by Congress by which men from 21 to 31 were to be drawn by lot. It was called the “se- lective service act” and, based upon the experiences of the other allied nations, was intended to raise an army without demoralizing essential | trade and industry. The law was enacted after an exciting but short debate in both Houses on April 28, 1917, just three weeks after the Unit- ed States declared herself to be in “a state of war with Germany.” Sub- sequently a similar declaration was issued against Austria. DRAFT MACHINERY STARTED. Draft machinery was put in mo- | tion and despite the derision of the German general staff, “the most re- markable achievement in the history of all warfare,” according to General Peyton C. March, the American chief of staff, was accomplished. Training camps were located throughout the country and within a year nearly 2,000,000 armed and equipped soldiers were landed in Eng- land ‘and France. A second draft, registering men from 18 to 21 and’ from 31 to 45 was ordered to bring America’s fighting force in Europe up to 4,850,000 men, but few of these | were called as the central powers shortly after collapsed. Meanwhile the Uuited States navy had been greatly augmented and on November 11, 1918, when the armis- tice was signed, she had 338 warships and 70,000 enlisted men in service abroad. Not the least important of other war measures adopted at the behest of Mr. Wilson during his second ad- ministration were the federalization of the railroads, cables, telephones and telegraph systems and the plan for the upbuilding by the government itself of a great American merchant a marine. For the last named pur- pose alone Congress appropriated the sum of $2,850,000,000. Later these public utilities were returned to pri- vate control. W. P. Parsons has sent in his resignation as postmaster at Julian, effective upon the appointment of his successor. Three Philadelphians in the Near East A new city of Philadelphia has been started in the heart of the Caucasus mountains, on the eastern slopes of Mount Ararat, according to a cable- gram received recently by the local offices of the Near East relief, The cablegram, sent from Alexandropol, Armenia, says: “A model Armenian village, includ- ing houses, barns, cattle sheds, com- munity gardens and park, has been erected by the boys classes in home economics at the Near East relief orphanage for 17,000 children there. In this village, orphan girls will go through the processes of home life, learning to cook native dishes, weave the native cloth and rugs, and will obtain the training in home life de- nied them by the death of their par- ents and the wrecking of their homes. “The village has been named Phil- adelphia in recognition of the large contributions made toward this or- phanage work by the people of that city. The name in Armenian is “Yeghpairagon-Taer.” This is the third town to bear the name of Philadelphia in the Near East. The other two, dating back twenty centuries or more, are locat- ed, one in Palestine, and the other near Smyrna in Asia Minor, and were founded by the ancient Greeks. Yeghpairagon-Tser is the Armenian equivalent for “brotherly love.” A total of 11,970,000 pounds of food supplies, medicines and clothing passed through the overseas shipping stations of the Near East relief at Constantinople and in Athens from American ports during the past year. These shipments had a total value of $3,407,000. Fifteen percent of the donated merchandise came from Pennsylvania. New Descriptive Map Folder of Penn- syvlvania Railroad.

The folder is an artistic piece of printing in four colors and contains newly engraved maps of New York, Philadelphia, Washington, Chicago and St. Louis, and a large map of the United States in colors, showing the location of all national parks and | monuments, together with a mass of | instructive data of exceptional inter- est.

Seein’ Things. From the Lancaster New Era. It is foolish to hope for the enact- ment of any broad constructive legis- lative program in a Congress as sharply divided as the present, with small groups of insurgents holding the balance of power in each branch and glorifying on every opportunity to display their strength. But that does not extenuate or excuse childish phantom fighting. Our Senators and Representatives are “seein’ things at night.” —__Subseribe for the “Watchman.” NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
