Professor Says Psychology Explains
Why Roosevelt Can't Under

NEW YORK. Jan. II. Prenldent Wilson
possesses the "new will" a psychological
discovery, for which he Is given credit to
day by Charlen Cray Stuivv, professor of
philosophy at the New York University.
The "new wlllv" according to Professor
Shaw, turns inward upon the brain instead
of passing out through hand or tongue.
Colonel Roosevelt knows nothing about
the "new will.-' the professor explained
Therefore President Wilson seems weak and
vacillating to him. but this Is all because
T. Ii has a primitive mind although tt Is
