"Congress was in session for months while the president lay in the White House struggling1 with a terrifying' 111- 1 ness and. at times, close to the point of death. i "The president made every sacrifice for the cause of peace' Cummings de clared, while at home there was "wide spread propaganda of opposition mak ing It imperative that he take up in his own country a struggle for the preservation of that which had been won at incalculable cost. Following the superhuman labors of seven years of unexampled service, this meant the wreck of his health. . . .and worse than physical sickness, the sickness of heart which comes from the knowl edge that political adversaries . . . are savagely destroying . . . the hope of settled peace: This was the afflication this the cruqification."
