of necessity and partly because,
as a newspaperman, he realized
the value of a journalistic aide.
The tremendous expansion of
the government had brought so
many other burdens that s
president could no longer fill
the role of national essayist in
person.
Woodrow Wilson was the last
prestdent to compose every
word of every presidential
speech. A master maker of
phrases, he took pride in his

mounting until it looked a* it

Suddenly, however, the shade

upright down in southern France,
stalked into the chamber and pro-

owner had been in life.
Out He Goes:
Briand wks removed on the

What had taken place was this.
Ever since the World war
Briand has been devoting most of .

It was that, he said, or war.
Briand was instrumental in
