WOODROW WILSON DEAD.
PASSING OF AN EX-PRESIDENT
New York, 3rd Feb.
Ex-president Woodrow Wilson died at 11.15 on Sunday morning, after only three days’ illness.
The physicians in describing Dr Wilson’s death, said his last moments found him with a quiet serenity and the severance of the thread of life was gentle and peaceful. ‘You have done the best you can, but I am a broken machine,” declared the ex-President, before falling asleep. Then be added with a rally of waning strength, “But I am ready.” He realised that little short of a miracle could prolong his life many hours, and said: “It is better that I should go than remain a helpless invalid.”
