(Copyright, 1919) It wa.s In the month following his return from America on March 14 that the president had his fiercest ordeal. This was the darkest hour of the entire peace conference, when a break-up seemed most imminent. It was In this month that the president, worn out with the strain of the conflict and by the unremitting attacks upon him both In front and from behind, fell 111 the forerunner of the present breakdown. And It was In this month, his patience utterly worn out, that lie finally ordered the G-eorge Washington to Ball im-media-tsly from New York, and American withdrawal from the conference, became one of the generally considered pOMIMlltlR, In the latter half of March the conditions throughout Kurope reached tho lowest ebb of demoralization. Uoishevism was everywhere spreading like an Infection from Russia. The new German government was warrfly a.hle to maintain Itself against the attacks of the radicals; It was doubted by tome good Judges whether there would be any government In Germany to blgn the treaty when it was ready to sign. On March "3 a. bolshevist revolution took placo In Hungary and Uavaria was setting up a soviet government. A desperate rebellion broke out In Egypt. Great strikes wer In process or threatened In England: the want if food, and the consequent unrest, was acute In Austria and all through southeastern Europe. At onetime we counted up 14 email wars In various parts of Russia. Poland and the Palkans. A wave of pessimism which Americans, so far away and fo safe, never felt, swept over Kurope and found its blackest expression ut Paris. No one who was there could escape It: It femcd that the world waa in a race between peace and anarchy with anarchy winning. PANIC DKVETiOPS OVER DELAY. A kind of unreasoning panic developed over the delay In completing: the treaty. It did no good to argue that the problems were of unparalleled difficult' involving a resettlement of the whole world or that other peace conferences, having less serious questions to settle, had reouired a far lonsrer time the neoüle

upon the only center of power then existing in the world four harassed old men toiling terribly there at Paris. Pres't "Wilson had to bear the brunt of the criticism. He was not only the outstanding figure; but because of his action in reasserting the decision made in January by the conference to incorporate the covenant of the league with the treaty, he was charged with delaying the peace. Part of this criticism was due to the unreasoning popular fear of which I have spoken the' utter weariness of Europe with the war and the desire to get the soldiers home again but a large part was also due to reactionary forces which deliberately used this popular Impatience in order to stampede the presidentdrive him from his unfaltering determination to make the treaty express in some measure the principles of justice adopted by everyone when the armistice was signed. These reactionary forces despised the president's "idealism," disliked the whole idea of a League of Nations and the new mandatory system of colonial control, and they wanted quite frankly to divide tho spoils of war, seize all they could of German territory, and then form a military alliance of the allies to guarantee their pains. , CAMPAIGN AGAINST PRESIDENT. It became a more or less organized campaign to down the president and reactionary forces in both France and England (cheered on by the attacks In America) had a part in it. A secret document showing how the French press a large part of which is notoriously controlled by the government was being marshalled against the influence of the president and in gupport of French interests, actually came Into tho poHseMlon of one of the American commissioners. It was in the form of official suggestions of policy to French newspaper editors and it contained three items: First, they were .fivised to emphasize the opposition to Mr. Wilson in America by giving all the news possible regarding the speeches of republican senators and other American critics. Second, to emphasize tho disorder and anarchy in Russia, thereby stimulating the movement toward allied military intervention. Third, to publish articles showing the ability of Germany to pay a large Indemnity. INFORMATION LEAKS OUT. Although the conferences were supposed to be secret so that American correspondents could get little or nothing about what was happening the news traveled swiftly by some underground channel to various French editors and was used by them as the basis of unfavorable comment on the actions of the various conferees. One day, for example, Lloyd-George made a hot protest because the French papers had published a full account of what had happened regarding the Polish situation (including the publication of a secret map!), so working the news as to put him in an unfavorable light. It even happened, so perfect were these underground channels in their operation, that a member who expressed an opinion in the secret con

ference would sometimes be visited the next day by some outsider who was interested in the question involved, and requested to change his attitude. And the whole of the secret report on military, naval and air forms was published one morning in the British newspapers. All of these leaks, the sharp differences of opinion among the allied delegates, and the attacks In America on the president, were promptly republished in the German press, making every step toward a reasonable settlement more difficult. It was this state of affairs which drove the conference finally into holding sittings confined to the big four, Wilson, Clemenceau, Lloyd-George and Orlando, in the president's study. So fierce finally became the onslaughts upon the president that his friends urged hlrn to make a statement of tho real reason for the delay. The demand came specially from American newspaper correspondents, who were much concerned over the situation; and I referred it to the pretident, emphasizing the danger it had in it for his influence at the conference. "I know it," he said, "I know it perfectly well. WOI LI) RREAK UP CONFERENCE. 1 told him that he personally was being blamed on all sides for the delay. "I know that, too but if I were to make a statement of the real reasons for the delay it would break up the peace conference and we cannot risk that until every other resource hns been tried." So he kept his temper, bore the misrepresentations, and tried to meet the unreasoning criticism by speeding up the work of the conference. He felt keenly the danger of complete anarchy in th world, and the need above everything; of maintaining a going organization of tho nations to hold thinps together and get the world somehow back to normality. He knew that if America let go, the most powerful prop to good order and steady jxirpose in the world would disappear. On the other hand, he would not and could not, consent to the cynical kind of peace which the reactionaries In Europe at that moment at their boldest were clamoring for. It was a terrible .task he had before hirn: anything he might do seemed wrong! HARD FOR ALL FOUR. It was hard not only for the president but for aU of the four. Clemenceau was getting over the revolver wound in the shoulder inflicted by a would-be assassin, and often went into alarming paroxysms of coughing during the sessions, and both Lloyd-George and Orlando were distracted with their home political problems, then at their very worst. The Northcliffe press was conducting a new attack on Lloyd-George u and a vote in the Italian parliament about this time was near to unseating Orlando. The four held usually two long meetings every day; and tho president, besides, in order to discount the criticism that the consideration of the covenant of the League of Nations was delaying the peace, was holding meetings of the League of Nations commission in the evening which more than once lasted beyond midnight He had also innumerable other engagements that he was forced to meet; conferences with all kinds of delegations, meetings with ex-

perts. home affairs. No slave ever worked harder than he did in those days. CRITICISM GROWS WORSE. Put no matter had hard he toiled, the criticism grew steadily worse; and on March 27 the president finally dictated a statement denj'ing that the discussions of the covenant were delaying the treaty. "The conferences of the commission (or the League of Nations)." he said, "have invariably been held at times when they could not Interfere with the consultation? of those who have undertaken to formulate the general conclusions of the conference with regard to the many complicated problems of peace." Unfortunately, however, while this statement did not help appreciably in quieting the popular criticism, it seemed even to increase the more insidious and dangerous attacks of the reactionaries who were trying to stampede the president. His explanation seemed to them a kind of confession of weakness. They therefore redoubled their efforts. It was in those days of late March that the French put up their hardest fight for the possession of the Saar valley, when Foch was most insistent upon making the Rhine the controlled frontier of France, when Italy began to demand most insistently the recognition of her extreme claims in the Adriatic and in Asia, and when the demands for reparations bvboth the French and the British threatened to make it impossible ever to arrive at any reasonable settlement. Wilson never for a moment lost sieht of his declarations that "there shall be no annexations, no contributions, no punitive damages," and that "peoples are not to be handed about from one sovereignty to another by an international conference." and never for a moment stopped fighting to realize them. IjLOYli-CiEORGKVS PROMIS IN. Not only were the territorial rtemanas pressed forward, but Ldoyd-Oeorse had made promises to the British people in the December elections regarding the amount of money they must have from Oermany which he and everyone else who was on the inside knew well enough could never be obtained: and the French, who had suffered beyond measure, had a bill which the entire wealth of Oermany if it it had been possible to get it could not have paid; and besides this. Belgium had to be restored. The American position, strongly supported all along not only by the president but by all the economic and financial experts, was that an exact sum of money be levied on the Germans so that all nations would know what the world financial problem really was: but neither Clemenceau nor Lloyd-George would consent to this lest the unexpectedly limited amount should cause explosions in their own countries Day after clay they argued and disputed upon this, and other questions, and there was nothing to report but talk. It was well understood that Wilson was standing against some of these French claims; as he stood afterwards against extreme Italian claims, as he had stood before against certain British colonial claims, and attacks in the French press became more pointed and bitter.

It has been ald that the kaiser's lif at Amtrongen is devoid of incident. Such, however, is far from th cas.

war lord's purpose, were becoming more frequent and more marked and frequent, Wilhelm had spent a -whole day In prayer and fasting, and none dared to intrude upon his presence. Even Krausler, the faithful servant, wac banished. Late that evening I heard the sound of a motor car outside the castle, and, looking from my window, I observed the figure of the kaiser, wrapped in a long cloak, enter the ear, followed by Krausler, who took his seat beside the driver. The car aped away at a terrifio paca, and was eoon lost to sight. I was completely mystified but remained from peak-

ing to anyone of trie event. Several telegrams a well as telephone calls for the kaiser had been received at the castle the previous day and during the nrght. I concluded that the all-hi3het had gone to some place to see old friends. Tho Mystery Deepen. On the following morning, however, the mystery was deepened, and I had cause to be thankful that I had kept my counsel concerning the events of the previous night. Wilhelm did not appear a9 usual at breakfast with his list of hymn; instead Dr. Foerter came and announced that the majesty was 111. and that he had advised that he should remain in bed. The count waa naturally rather concerned, and during the day mde tnquir'.es aa to the condition of his gue?t, always to be told that his majesty was sleeping" or receive pome such reply. The empress, too, did not leave her room until evening, when rh? Joined the family at dinner. I thought that she appeared strained and nervous, but the meal passed without event. The empress retired early, and the house was locked up for the night, none having heard or seen anything of the kaiser. It wa.i shortly after 'midnight when I again heard the. sound of a motor car approaching the castle, and immediately, I posted myself t one cf the windows, determined to f.nd out all that I could of the mysterious happenings. The car did not drive up to the front door of the castle, but took a pathway leading to a door from which access could easily be obtained to the apartments occupied by the kaiser.
