The True Story Of Woodrou) Wilson Rv IJAVID LAWRENCE <C??rrl*>t 1*24 ttli Gf?r*? M. Dw.n C?aM"r la ?? U?lt^ Stafrt. C?>Ut. ?Mtk Aavrka. Wtrltf luklltitMn r??M? nwnU by Camat Mtwi FMlmi, Im.) Chapter XXIX Wilson's Break With House There was never a break between j Colonel House and President Wil son. Strictly speaking It was s cool ness and a separation ? in contrast] with the warm friendship and inti macy of nearly eight years. After' leaving the White House Wood row Wilson never saw Colonel House again. Like all great men, Mr. Wilson had certain weaknesses and one was s peculiar susceptibility to what tra ditionally is known as "court gossip" and what in the parlance of an Am erican democracy is sometimes de fined ss "tattle." Prejudices were conveyed to him b; those who tried to away his Judgment snd Mr. Wil son unconsciously absorbed those prejudice* and dropped many of his friends without even giving them an opportunity t? present their side of a controversy. The experl?nce of President Wil son with Colonel House is probably unprecedented in all history. It has about it an air of mystery as well as tragedy. No man served another with the same zeal and with the same indifference to reward as did Colonel E. M. House. His discharge from the President's confidence oc curred in Paris. It was as much a shock to Colonel House himself as It was to all who had followed the Damon and Pythias relationship which had sprung up between the; two men. . Colonel House occupied a position ' so extraordinary sn?l yet so lnflu-! entlal with the President that he j was the object of much 'envy. He) had gone to Europe in advance of the President and had been dealing with allied statesmen so long that he J felt Tie knew their maneuvers and could guide the President in hand ling them. When Mr. Wilson reached J Paris he found Colonel House in close contact with the entire situa tion. The allied statesmen con-i tlnued to deal with the Colonel in | the hope that he might influence j President Wilson. Instead of occu pying, therefore, a position subor dinate to the President he really be- ' came an intermediary between the 0 President, on the one hand. ancV the allied statesmen on the other. The J headquarters of the American Peace Commission were at the Hotel Crll-j Ion where Colonel House held forth.! The other members of the Peace Mis- ' slon saw him occasionally but for the j most part there were no meetings of ! the entire peace delegation at which , any action was taken except to rat-, ify conclusions already reached in ' conferences either by the President or Colonel House. Relatives of Col-| onel House were attached to his staff. The unique position of the Colonel developed the usual anti-[ pathy, so that among the Americans in and about the American Peace Mission there were two groups-those : who were anti-House and those who ? were for him. Those who opposed did not hesitate to spread the word which eventually reached the Presl-j dent that Colonel House had set up ! a sort of counter-estab^shment at : the Hotel Crillon. One day the Pres ident happened in at the Crillon to see Colonel House who talked with him a few minutes and then excused himself In order to receive Premier! Clemeneesu. Incidents of this kind | were not lost upon those who sought to .give the Impression thst the Col onel was trying to lord It over hls| chief. i Newapaper articles Degan to np pe*f telling (hat the real power Iq the American Peace Delegation wa? Colonel House. Some of these ator les caught the eye of Mrs. Wilaon who did not fall to take a deep In terest In ererytfhlng that affected ! her husband and particularly those! things In which ahe deemed that Mr. I Wllaon'a Intereata were being auhor-| dlnated. One day the Colonel went to the houwc #here the Prealdent and Mra. Wilson llred during the peace conference. Aa waa hla cuatom, the Colonel stopped to chat for a few momenta with Mra, Wllaon. The. Colonel m In high aplrlta feeling that the pasce conference waa pro-' reeding to a successful conclusion. He waa particularly Jubilant that j day because of the apparent con version of an influential aectlon of the British press to the support Of Mr. Wilson. The Colonel told Mr*. Wllaon that one of the most pro minent London editors had become ao Impressed with the American viewpoint that he could count on ef fective editorial aid from that quar ter. The Colonel remarked that hla sole mbjoct was to help make the whole negotiation a success ao that it would redound to the credit of hla chief. Woodrow Wilson. At this 'point Mrs. Wllaon drew forth * clipping from the I>ondon newspaper In qufatlon and pointed to an article of laudatory character which gave Colonel Houae the credit for the many things accompllahsd In the American peace mlaalon, and which polntsd out that If Mr. Wil son would let the Colonel alono there would be an earlier agreement and a much better feeling all around Mra Wilson asked Colonel Houae for an explanation of that article whlcti had appeared in a newapaper ?<Ht?d by his friend. Her Inquiry Inferred he had Inspired the article, the Inference being that he had e? jHolted himself Instead of the Preal dent. The Colonel la not given to ou Mm rats of indignation bnt took fhe accusation quietly. Just then the President asked for the Colonel and their oonfarence began. - ? ? ?? ? ?- ? ? AlA conducted mil his conference? with the President at the Hotel CrlHon.j Gossip had it that he never explain-, ed the newspaper article to Mrs. Wil son. Nor was there anything to ex plain. He was not responsible for. the speculative comments of the newspaper. The Colonel was cut to the quick b y the coolness which Mrs. Wilson had shown and which the President himself developed Immed iately afterward. Inside the Amerl-; can Peace Mission It became known that there had been a separation. The relations between the Presi dent anj Colonel House were formal thereafter. They were simply those conferences which official busi ness required. Undoubtedly the' President absort>ed Mrs. Wilson's! viewpoint which together with the attacks that had been made on Col onel House for his alleged com promises served to end the warmth of the relationship between these two statesmen. There Is another phase of the episode which played an important part. Colonel House was naturally of a conciliatory disposition. He i was always trying to keep the allied i statesmen in good humor and while ! he had no power to commit the! American Peace Mission to cohcess-| ions he was trying constantly to bring about an early peace and a; series of agreements which would make all the powers feel more kind-| toward the treaty itself as well as' the League of Nations. His policy | may have been a mistaken one, his concessions may have been too num-| erous but certain It is they did not, commit Mr. Wilson to any accep tance of the suggestions the Colonel was making. Mr. Wilson was warned shortly after he arrived in Paris that Col onel House had made arrangements with the various allied statesmen which would make It difficult for, the President to make peace. The criticism came in the form of a lelter from a prominent New York editor who had been in Paris, an j editor whom Mr. Wilson h?:ld in high esteem. Thus the campaign | against Colonel House began almost j immediately after the armistice. Hi succeeded In the early spring of *he! following year. The man who for, so many years had worked tire-, lessly and without compensation of any sort for the Uni*.?'l Star on gov ernment, was cast adrift b> Mr Wil son. The defenders of President Wilson in this controversy will say no doubt that the activities of Col- 1 onle House were deserving of thei rebuke that they received. It was' natural that the Colonel who had been given so much power should be I the victim of his own efforts to| please Woodrow Wilson an<l at the ( same time make a practical peace. The documents In the records may' prove that had Mr. Wilson follow ed Colonel House's advice he would have secured more prestige for the Versailles treaty but this will always > be a moot point because it involves ! the hypothetical and there were so, many circumstances Interrelated in ! Paris that no clear judgment as to ] the merits of this particular phase | of the controversy will ever be( formed. For Mr. Wilson carried' to the grave the secret of his separ ation from Colonel House. Messa ges were exchanged of a courteous nature after the President became an invalid, but the old association was never re-established. Indeed at the funeral of Woodrow Wilson, Colonel House was not even Invited to sit In mourning In the home on ?*S Street" where his chieftain lay dead. Cliapt.-r XXX Wilson'* Break With Laming No Incident In American history parallels the few days In which the' Government of the United States had no President; for immediately follow-' lug Woodrow Wilson's physical torenkdown he was unable to function as the Chief Executive. Opinions may differ as to whether any Important piece of public busl-( noss was neglected ? the Cabinet took care of every decision and executed every policy. Dut th?re can be no doubt that for a few days at least Im mediately after his return from the western trip the President was dis abled and for a Ions time thereafter was unable to discharge the duties of his office to the extent that hs did In the preceding years of his term. | Serious moments there were when It was thought Mr. Wilson would not live. As the crisis was passed and It became apparent that the President would be an Invalid the rest of his life and would be unsble to see many call | ers or write communications on mat ; ters of stste, his supporters developed the fear that some one In the Senate or elsewhere would raise the question under the Constitution which pro I vide* that the Vice President shall succeed the President In case of death or Inability. The Constitution Itself la not very clear on the question of what shall be done when a President I* disabled. It says: I "In case of the removal of the Pres Ident from office, or of his desth, res ignation. or inability to discharge the powers and duties of the said office, . the ssme shall dsvolve on the Vice President, snd tha Congress may *>j ' law provide for the case of removal, death, resignation, or Inability, both | of the President and Vice Prealdeat, WHAT'S THE GOOD WORD? declaring what officer shall then act ?* PreeMent, and such officer shall act accordingly until the disability be removed or a President shall be elect ed." Is the Vice President to betome President or merely assume the du ties and discharge the powers of the presidential office until the Presi dent's disability Is removed? No Vice President has ever assumed office on the disability of a President and Mr Thomas R. Marshall, wjio was rice president during President Wilson's Incapacity, made no effort to succeed him. Congress has never passed a law specifically giving the procedure that should be followed In case of Presidential Inability. . A?terv,,he Pre8lde?t suffered a' stroke, his condition was so alarm ing that he was unable for several days to sign documents or attend 1 to public business. The Secretary of state. Robert Lansing, called at the executive offices to learn the1 true condition oi tfc- President be cause the King and Queen of th? Bel gians who were in New York ha j expressed a desire to come to Wash ington If they could be received Rear Admiral Cary T. Grayson, the President's physician, told Mr. Lans ing that Mr. Wilson was In no con dition to receive the King and Queen much as he would like to do so and that perhaps If their Itinerary were rearranged the visit might be accom plished later on. Mr. Lansing was unable to obtain any definite infor mation as to the true nature of the President's Illness and the next day he asked Mr. Tumulty, the Presi dent's private secretary, If he knew whether the President was able to sign documents and carry on his du ties. Mr. Lansing voiced the fear that a demand might be made to have the Vice President take office under the disability article of the Constitution. Secretary Tumulty ex pressed Indignation at such a pros pect and Insisted that neither he nor Dr. Grayson would certify to such a condition of the President's health. Mr. Lansing suggested that for appearances, at least, a Cabinet meeting should be called arid that tills would instill confidence In the country that the Government was functioning. The first meeting of the Cabinet was called with the knowledge of both the President's private secretary and Ills physician. Dr. Grayson attended the Cabinet meeting and reported on the Im provement In Mr. Wilson's condition. There was no discussion at this or any other meeting about the Vice President succeeding Mr. Wilson. In all, 25 cabinet meetings wen. held and many Important matters discussed and decided. Serious In jury might have been done the pub lic interest if Cabinet sessions had not been convened and there is ev- * ery reason to believe that a demand would then have been made In the 1 Senate for succession by Vice Presl-! dent Marshall. When Mr. Wilson gradually recov ered to the point of being able to listen to affairs of state he was ap prised of the fact that Cabinet meet ings had been held. He was told of the incident which led to the sum moning of the Cabinet. He was un aware of the situation which had exJ Isted and of the practically unani mous belief of all his advisers that the holding of piblnet meetings would preserve public confidence In the Government while he was unable to function. He demanded the res ignation of the Secretary of State I^anslng as a punishment and exam ple. ? mere weie, or courte, contrlbu tory reasons such as the dissent ex pressed at Paris by Mr. Lansing with respect to the Shantung settlement In the Versailles Treaty of Peace. Mr. Wilson showed displeasure, for Instance, on his Western trip when he received a telegram from Mr.' Lansing stating that one of tbe at-i taches of the American Peace Mia-' ?Ion testifying before the Senate For eign Relations Committee had re vealed Mr. Lansing's disagreement! with the President on the Shantung' question, a circumstance which had! up to that time been rumored but not confirmed and which, of course.' was ammunition for Mr. Wilson's op-| ponents in the treaty fight. What Mr. Lansing did as Secre-j tary of State ? the responsible offl-t cer of the Government who mustj certify to all proclamations and whose duty under the law it is to no- { tify the Vice President of the death ] or disability* of the President. un-| doubtedly was Just the thing that! would irritate an individual who' felt he was by no means incapacitat ! ed. An Impartial judgment of the, sfTalr cannot but lead to the con clusion that the unprecedented func tioning of the Cabinet as an entity withou* executive direction, guid ance or authority except as derived by tmDlicatlon from the statutes was a tactful move which prevented the unpleaaant question of technical die-, ability from being raised by the many who were oppored to Mr. Wll- \ son in those bitter da*rs of the treaty fight. The President's shaky signature to public documents and the gradual improvement thereafter In his hand writing tell a story of how difficult; It was for the President to carry on I in his hours of physical distress. H?j| was incapable of sustained efTort. At; first he could give an hour or so to i official duties and later two hours and th^n more as his health im-| proved. Only the most Important) matters were placed before him in ! the limited time that his physicians i said he could afford to give to pub-' lie business. Unfavorable news was withheld from Mr. Wilson and nothing wan' doue that was in the least calculated; lo excite or disturb him. Mr. Wilson was given to emotional outbursts, j wept very often, and grew melan choly over his Lreakdown. Throughout this period, Mrs. Wil-1 son uas constantly at his bedside as was also his eldest daughter, Miss! Margaret. The devotion of the wife and daughter was no small factor In ? nursing the President back to morel and more participation in public af fairs. Mrs. Wilson stood between I her husband and the Government, indeed between him and the outside world. It was she who acted as' personal secretary, taking notes and writing memoranda and messages to the various Cabinet officers and of ficials of the Government generally. Even the private secretary, Mr. Tu multy, refrained from entering the bed-chamber except when sent for. | He placed his memoranda on vital | questions before Mrs. Wilson leaving it to her to discover the proper mo ment to ask the President for his opinion or decision. She was, so to speak, the reigning monarch. An annual address had to be sent to Congress in December, 1919, and also in December, 1920. On both oc casions, Mr. Wilson was spared the necessity of composition. His Cab inet officers wrote memoranda on the topics that had to be covered in these messages and, with the help of Secretary Tumulty who wove them together, the documents were put into finished form and read to Mr. Wilson who with a few changes gave his approval and so was able to fulfill his constitutional function of reporting to Congress on the state of Ihk-LInion. Thus did his intimates struggle to keep up appearances in the days when America really had no President.
