Sunshine, Arizona. Feb. ?.— "'in.
McAdoo, son-in-law of Woodrow
Wilson, made a statement in Ari
zona that, "Wilson was perhaps the
greatest man America has produced,
he had a rare combination of a
charming companion, ripe scholar,
•Christian gentleman, consumate lead
or. superb statesman, dauntless fig
ure. a noble idealist and a lofty soul,
and out of his sacrifice and suffering
the good he has sought to do for
buknanlty Will Inevitably be realized,
Wilson's apostle of Peace will live
Churt Surrey, England. Fdb. 3—■
'Lloyd George declared that WoOd
row Wilson will become one of the
great figures of history. "He Was
■a man and therefore he had a weak
ness. hut he was the first to eihbodt
the ideal fraternity of nations into
a concrete plan. Like Lincoln he
prosecuted hto ideal to a tragic
-dtath, the overwork In Paris was a
contributing factor to his break
down. and the tragedy of It all in
Wilson's falling was his inability to
/ subdue personalities and give up
f personal animosity, this weakness
/caused the failure to realize his
ideals during his lifetime and' this
weakness has doubtless cohtributed
to his death, If he had been willing
to sacrifice personal prejudices to
obtain the general support of his
people at home he could have realiz
ed the League of Nations ideals, by
-this means, it was certain. In view
of the concessions the European
policies would have made Americans
desire for a change of the league
Washington, Feb. 4—Ex-President
Woodrow Wilson died at 11:15 A.
MI. Sunday, after hovering for two
days between life and death, the
«md came peacefully when the vitali
ty no longer could retard the steady
-dissolution .which set In with the
stroke of paralysis that laid the
noted statesman low on his return
from his western. speak^.-trip in.
If 1», which he declared he was
erlnd to Rive his life for the League
c>i Nations if that would make the
letter a success. Fatigued and worn
by the battle with death which be
?an before he left the White House
in 1921, he was President for two
terms—eight of the most momen
tous years in the history of the
world—he closed his e?et ant wen
peacefully away
Dr. Grayson’s statement said “his
heart action became feebler and
feebler the heart muscles were so
fatigued that they refused to act
longer.’* When the end came Mrs.
Wilson was sitting alongside.the bed
of her noble .husband holding be
tween her two soft hands the wither
ed hand of her.life’s mate which had
proved that it was mightier than the
sWord. Near the foot..of the bed
was his eldest daughter Margaret,
resigned to the inevitable, close by
with tears welling from his eyes
and coursing down his cheeks was
Doctor Grayson, taking the meas
ures of the fluttering pulses, which
were growing weaket and more
faint with each effort.
President and Mrs. Coolidge were
hi the church when death called at
the Wilson house, and when it was
announced at the church that Wilson
had been called to make the last
voyage, Coolidge and his wife drove
to the Wilson home and left their
cards, they were the first ones from
Washington Official life to call after
the death.
Death laid its finger tips on the per
son of Wilson—as it did his suc
cessor, the late President Harding,
while on a speaking trip in the west.
Harding’s collapse was led by a
stroke of apoplexy and death within
n week. Wilson’s was led with a
stroke of Paralysis and a lingering
disability of four years, strangely j
enough Wilson was campaigning j
for the entry of the United States
into the League of Nations and !
Harding was campaigning for the I
entry of the United States info the
World Court at the time of their j
separate strokes. Wilson lived to j
see Harding burled and participated j
in the funeral.
Coolidge’s proclamation to the
people of the United States said that
death has deprived the country of
it.? most distinguished citizen, and
the event causes universal and gen
uine sorrow. He also directed that *
flags on the White House and De
partmental Buildings be displayed
at half mast for a period of 30 days.
Washington. Feb. 4—A 20 clay
pe riod of mourning was ordered as
the government done toward Roose
velt and other ex-presidents Con
gress has arranged to adjourn to
day. All executive Deportments
were ordered to close on the day of
the: funeral. Until late Saturday
night Wilson was able to recognize
those about him. and th'-n he sank
into a state of complete prostration,
litfully slumbering while his vitality
ebbed slowly out.
