Washington. Feb. 4.—(A. P.)—
Woodrow Wilson found In eternity,
a haven from the storms and sorrows
of a troubled world. In the quiet of
a Bunday morning. death folded him
gently in Its embrace and bore him
to bla maker. He passed from life
as he alept, with those he loved best
cloae about him. Hit broken body
had weakened little by little until
the laat apark of vitality went out,
but hie apirlt waa supported to the
last by the indomitable courage of
hie old fighting days. In the last
wakeful momenta he said he knew
bla end had come and that ho was
ready.
Time alone will accord to Wood
row Wllaon, twenty-eighth Preaident
of the United Statee, his true place In
history.
Hia friends always contended that
he deaerved rank with the greatest
of America's chief executives. His
foes derided him and the regime they
termed "Wllsonlsm,” and pointed to
the Harding landslips of 9,000,000 in
1920 as a demonstration of Amer
ica's unequivocal repudiation of Wil
son and everything on which ho had
made hia stand.
Never before In American history
has there been a center about which
raged so furious a controversy as
that which was the outgrowth of
Woodrow Wilson's aspousal of the
league of nations. In this adherence
to a principle roBts his chief claim
to enduring fame—and this, despite
the fact that the principle In point
was so overwhelmingly rejected.
Of sturdy Scotch-Irish ancestry,
Wilson was born In Staunton, Va., on
December 2k, 1866. He attended
Davidson College, in North Carolina,
In 1874-75. Some years later he re
ceived successively at Princeton Uni
versity the degrees of Bachelor of
Arts and Master of Arts. He had
graduated as an attorney from the
University of Virginia in 1881 and be
gan the practice of law In Atlanta,
Oa„ the following year. Post-gradu
ate work at John Hopkins won for
him the coveted Doctor of Philosophy
degree In 1885. Degroos of Doctor
of Laws and Doctor of Literature sub
sequently were conferred upon him
by numerous American universities.
In 1186 Wilson married M bs Ellen
Louise Axstm, a Savannah (Oa.)
belie. She died In the White House
is August, 1914, only a few days af
ter the outbreak of the Great War.

tle by little the history of the World
War trickles out.
Statistics just made public disclose
that only 346 officers and men were
condemned to death in five years in
tho British army for desertion or
cowardice.
Three British officers were shot,
two for desertion and one for mur-
der.
One soldier was three times «en-
fenced to death. Twice he was re
prieved and returned to the front
lines, but the third time he deserted
his sentence was carried.
Two hundred and sixty-six men
were shot for desertion, 37 for mur

There were 3,080 death sentences
meted out.
Over
Aircraft Effect
London. Feb. 4.—(A. P.)—Eng
land has been Interested in a debate
as to whether the modern battleship
had not been rendered obsolete by
the airplane. Admiral Mark Kerr
took the affirmative and Viscount
Curgon the negative. The decision
favored the arguments of Curzon.
The Viscount contended that
whether or not the present type of
capital ship was obsolete depended
on whether the battleship could be
destroyed by under-water boats or
by aircraft. Jutland proved that the
bomb and torpedo had not gained as
cendancy over the heavy gun. Gun
fire had an accuracy far above that
of tho weapons of submarines or
planes. Experiments purporting to
show that tho big Hhlp was at the
mercy of hovering planes had been
carried out, but the target ship was
an obsolete one, and the test had
been carried out In fair weather and
perfoct water. The battleship still
remained the greater factor of naval
strength.
"Admiral Kerr's suggested large
aircraft carrier," Viscount Curzon
said, “was just as vulnerable as the
big battleship, which after all, could
have it protectiA) seaplanes."
