PRESIDENT MAKES f PATHETIC FIGURE k " - I 1MPRESIVE PICTURE OF STRICK-! EN EXECUTIVE. . j J5?cms Like A Great Soldier j Strickcn in Epochal ^ s Battle. I After the delegation of 15 pro-1 league Republicans made their visit ! to President Wilson last week, Ham-j il'.on Holt, leader of the group, is-j sued a statement which shocked the j country because of its description of; 31 r. Wilson's appearance and deject- j ed manner. Five other members of the delegation were'asked subsequently to de- ' scribe the visit and the president. j Their statements as published in the New York Times, were as follows: Mrs. Schuyler N. Warren of New Jdrk: "I am not young. I have had ?- Knf many solemn moments m my mc, uui,; I can assure you that, when we stooxl j in the presence of President Wilson j in that room at the White House, I j consider it the most solemn moment! in my life. The men with us stood j 'with tears in their eyes in the pres-j ence of this great man, stricken, j aged, worn, and yet* with not a line j in his face that showed bitterness, rancor or malice. He had but one thought, and dream, in his heart. 'r!""n wic hittornpss left-toward i his enemies. He seemed far away j from the vanity and folly of the ^ . . world, as if he were just living to see the, ideal accomplished. "If the people who revile him could just see him as he sat in his: 'wheel chair?if he could be trans v ported to Carnegie Hall just as he is today for the whole world to see? a nan suffering, aged, and yet burning with zeal for this great ideal, I don't believe he would have an enemy in the world. "The change that I saw, the thing j that crushed me so, was xo see now President Wilson, from a comparatively young man as I saw him last, had hopn converted into an old, old j man?not broken, but old! That to me is the tragedy and cruel thing. As lie sat there, he seemed to me to represent all that is highest in Am< erican life, in the American characT' 1 ? ~ oonca tililt 101". XL \Y<IS 111 wuc otaow wmv . you saw there a man who had so suf - fered, and glorious that America had produced such a man. * Like a Page in History. "It seemed1 like a page in history. The delegation had walked through the streets to the White House so quietly, through 'the gates that had been opeyied* for us, and with our hearts heating high had been ushered into the room where President Wil- j son was sitting, and had stood listen- ! ? I ing to him as he read his message i * - il-~ I cuv' ! lO I,lit" CUU!UI . 1 k?n Viuj ui.,1 v,- , . one of the men ?aid when we came. out, that it seemed as if we had been 1 present at.some great religious *cere-j mony, that it was holy ground." Th Kev. Dr. Arthur J. Brown of I ' New York: I "1 was shocked by the president's j . appearance. I expected, of course,' to find that his illness had resulted in some abatement |)f his former physical strength, but 1 had been led by public reports to believe that he had regained a large proportion of ]iis virility. Instead of this, we found a broken man, ins lace was draw'n and haggard, his eyes were dull, his voice was low and weak. It was pathetic to see that once splendidly alert and vigorous man so completely shattered. We gained the impression, too, that he was not only broken in health, but that he was heartbroken over the humiliating position into which partisan and Personal enmities had brought our country, delaying the realization of thai ?rreat consummation of the league of nations for which he toiled so hard and sacrificed so much. "J am sure that the American people do noi realize, as I had not bethat liu- president of the United ' A _ T State" is a si ncKen man. .15 1 swuu ^ {It?.-; will-in four feet of him, I had Hi: inexpressibly solemn feeling that the.,words that. he was speaking might be his farewell words to his country, lie- iiiust know that near the end of _ his .M>cond term and in his enfeebled hvhii his public career is drawing to jr.- .iosr. 1 think his address should j?? interpreted in the light of this! fart. .More than once his voice ohokCsju'riaJiy when he referred to! tin- soldier boys and the mothers of those who had fallen in battle. It j vas evident that lie was voicing the jnofoundest emotions of his heart. | The whole occasion was inexpressibly j and tender. # j vVe left the White House feeling! !; : ! we had witnessed a scene of; v ;, :t may prove to be of historic siK-j j,:r.ce. a scene in which the spier.-, ?>f a "Teat mind and spirit that triumphed for a moment over physir; ! vve.ikr.css and pain, but that the lamp of physical life was burning, danu'erouslv low. It was .one of the? I v 11 \ V n\ - I Lr^ \ r/4fm ^ 'V r ::' n m U. . , Scence from "Mutt November 11. I most moving: experiences of my life." A Dramatic Scene. i George K. Hunton of New York: "I feel as I would have felt if I had been privileged to hear President Lincoln read the Emancipation Proclamation. I have no words to de?r?rihp the touching scene before this man who has spent his strength, his health, apd sacrificed his whole physical well-being for the thing that is nearest his heart. He sat there in his wheel chair like a wounded soldier, only too anxious to keep up the fight to the last by explaining and clarifying the issue for American citizens. When he alluded to the loss of lives during the war, his voiqg not only faltered, but very percepti bly broke. He was overcome by a tenderness and feeling that you would hardly expect in a public man. And as he sat there beneath a picture of Lincoln, I felt that the Great Emancipator was looking: down and indorsing the man and his message. "If Woodrow Wilson isn't sincere, we have never had a public man that was sincere. I think the privilege of witnessing such a dramatic sfene in the culmination of the fight arouiul the issue that is an epoch in American history is the biggest thing n i- 1 _ .1 j >> - i mat nas ever jiuppcueu mc.. Joseph M. Price of New York: ? "I feel that the ipan has. simply laid down his life for the things lie bejjeved in. If the people of the country could realize what he has gone through J believe such a wave of sympathy would sweep over the country that all the rancor would disappear overnight. "It was a horrible shock to see President Wilson. Probably to those who have been with him constantly the change has not seemed so tremendous, and probably he has been a great deal wyrse than he is now, | but the physjral ehange in the man is j something of which the people of the | country have absolutely no realization. At times when he was reading I his address 1 didn't think he could. linish. He feels so much about this* subject of the league of nations! He really feels that it is the one hope of the world for peace. Utterly Broken. } ''To those who remember him as J he was when his voice was alert and clear and keen, the'sight of him as i ? i he is now is shocking. He is really broken, and 1 feel that he has mari , tyred himself for the great cause. People have no idea of the terrilic ! strain he has been under, and par! 1 1 ^ 1 _1 . ! r X I- 1 i. 4 jticuiany ine sinun or uie ujsl two I years.

I have seen a ! number of campaigns.

John Bates Clark, professor of economics at Columbia university: j "In a general way everybody's im; pression was alike. The president was easily fatigued, and iiis strength was not as great as we had hoped to find it. I feel that he has almost martyred himself in a great cause in which we profoundly believe.

We all felt very sympathetic, solemn and sorrowful. "I think the wrong impression has been given out when it is said that i 1 his voice was inaudible. My own { hearing is imperfect, and I could ! hear everything he said. He greeted i quite a number of us whonf he knew | by name, and had some kindly word I for all. His voice was firm and clear, j and the old light that we remember ! was upon his face. In reading, his I voice was natural and strong at the ' hponnniiip- of the Daragraphs, but at j the end of each paragraph, if it was | long, his voice grew feeble. Then | he would start out again clearly. His ; voice has not gone. i "We can stand across the ocean I jand look at this league and refuse j to go in, if we will, but whether we I accept this league or not it is acI cepted by pretty much all the world. ! The time will come when we shall | see what a great man the president was, who was chiefly responsible tor it? existence. The period of abuse will pass as it did in Washington's time, and the memory of Wilson will I be honored and loved." | > . . /. v* ! Mr.-.-Holt's statement <>ri Wednes! day, just after the delegation had left the White House, was as follows: "The members of the deputation Were deeply touched by .the physical afypeai'hnce of the president, who received them sitting and plainly showed the effects of his long illness and the tremendous strain which he has been carrying. He read from a ?_.i. i_:_ 1.. 4. .> : manuscript, ins repj.v iu ljic auuico^ ] of the deputation and was greatly | moved as he did so. 1 i "More than once his voice choked, especially when he referred to the , soldier boys and the mothers of i those who had fallen, in battle, it j was evident that he was voicing tin: jprofoundest emotions of his heart. | The whole occasion was inexpressibly 'solemn and lender. "It was evident that the president's intellectual powers were in nu nvny impaired, but tiie deputation felt j that it was nothing less than tragic | that the great president of the United | States should have been brought tu | such a stricken physical condition as the result of his indefatigable labors i for his country and for humanity, i "They felt that this miirht be the president* final appeal to the conscience of his countrymen in the su preme moral decision that they arc > cabled upon to make." !

LITTLE DISCOURSE OF WORTH Short Sermon Not Delivered From Pulpit, but Deserving of1 Youth's Serious Consideration. . On Vanity?T.oy, it gives me considerable pain wlion I discover that you are putting on airs and endeavoring by the way you walk and talk to impress people with your own impor J tance. For :is I soe life it is no par*, ticular credit to the duck that swims, or to the songbird that sings; whorefore should the young man who lias been endowed with hrams make boast that ho Vises them? That which if natural to man should in 110 way bo 2 nifirio fa rmnom* iinnntiirnl. Don't strut and pose, as one that is better than another. For in what is natural to ynu. you may excel, but what is natural to another would make you appear ridiculous. The actor boasting because he acts would be like a lish making much of the fact tftat he can live under water.. Take this tip from me?take pride in yout> work, but he not proud that it is you who accomplishes it. li is one thing to deserve praise, but annflipi* t<? insist on iri'ttinsr it. And keen , this truth forever in mind, since one man is siren the jrift to play the vio^ lin, and another to write and another j to p.-iint and siili oijiors sire endowed j with strength for heavy tasks, anil | others to lay. hrirk for houses, lie who | does his best in the work lie is tilled to do lias no right to lord it over his neighbor who is serving the world in i his way.
