WILSON AND THE WAR 1917-Feb. 3, President Wilson broke off diplomatic rela tions with Germany on her renewal of ruthless sub marining. April 2, read his war mes sage to congress. 1918-Jan. 18, laid before the senate his 14 points. Nov. 11, the armistice signed with the German revolutionary government. A S he stood at the clerk's desk iu . the hall of the house of repre sentatives on the evening of April 2. 1917, President Wilson was the central figure in one of the great moments of world history. Not only his own people but mankind stopped to listen. The president had been re-elected only five months before beenuse "he kept us out of the war." Alas, the war would not keep out of the United States. The war took on new fury, with the resunption of ruthless submarining, which (erniy had modified the year before at our demand. The president thereupon handed the German ambas sador his passports, and next he pro posed that we should arm our mer chant ships. The filhiustering sea ate failing to give himt this authority, he proceeded himself to arm thun. But shipping vanished from the sea, with its hidlen terror. and at last he called the newly elected congress in extraor dinary session to "receive a connuni ('Iion-'oltInerning grave matters of nttiinal policy." No other president in the whole course of his service has had to make so many momentoues decisions as Woodrow Wilson hais had to make in Wilson and iis First Grandchild. tw soli itle of his 'i iy al tie White li1usq' inl I hi'e 3in.'.:ta!s days ii'foar the aisseinhi!jin Eof ,ongre.s. lie eouldl not dliviiih' thle burdenihi of such a heavy respontulsibility; he luad to hear' it ahmeii nni without a p'rcudent to guhie him.

Five Minute Chats on Our Presidents By JAMES MORGAN (Copyright, 1920, by Jatmes Morgan.) WILSON'S FIRST TERM 1914-Aug. 6, death of Mrs, Wil son. 1915-Dec. 18, the president married Mrs. Edith Bol ling Galt. 1916--Re-elected. A FTICR Woodrow Wilson had been teaching in the classroom for a quarter of a century that the presi dent ought to be more like a prime minister,' "trying to co-operate wih other human beings," than "a mere department . . . halting congress from some isolated island of author ity," the opportunity came to him to put his theory in practice. When con gress met in extr' session a month after his inauguration ie waikei in and delivered his message in person, reviving a custom which Jefferson had stopped only because he happened to have a poor voice and sns an awk ward speaker. President Wilson adopted the atti tute of a sort of member at large of both houses, sauntering unheralded into the seldom-used president's room. which aijoins the senate chamber. whenever he had any special business. and talking things over in the open. The president succeetied not by arousing a personal loyalty to himself but by the force of his ideas. "I have had a ma.lority on the floor, but," he admitteel, "never a majority in the cloak 1 room." Iiere are the outstanding items in the peace record of the Wilson ad ministration: TarifT revision, the first income tax, the federal reserve act the federal trade comiission, the ('layton trust law. 30 arbitration trea tie., thit seanian's act, the farim loan - : (e armmmem Mrs. Woodrow Wilson.. th' r'peaI of I'a:inan tol!s, the ship.
