MR. WILSON’S WORLD MESSAGE.

On the eve of his departure from France President Wilson gave out the following message to the newspapers: “Many things crowd into the mind to be said about the peace treaty, but the thought that stands out In front of all others is that by the terms of the treaty, the greatest possible measure of compensation has been provided for peoples whose homes and lives were wrecked by the storm of war, and security has been given them that the storm shall not arise again. Insofar as we came together to Insure these things, the work of the conference is finished, but in a larger sense Its work begins today. In answer to an appeal, the league of nations has been constituted and a covenant nas been drawn which shows the way to International understanding and rteace. “We stand at the cross-roads, however, and the way is only pointed out. Those who saw through the travail of the war the vision of a world made secure for mankind now consecrate their lives to its realization.”
