Addams undertakes a national speaking tour on behalf of the United States Food Administration.

Description

Though Wilson and Addams found themselves on opposite sides of the war, and Addams had been vilified and was under government surveillance, Wilson expresses "peculiar gratification" for her continued political support. (Quoted in Linn, Jane Addams, p. 329. In Second Twenty Years at Hull House, however, Addams expresses frustration and disappointment with Wilson for not having taken up her call for international mediation to end the war in 1915, and waiting instead until 1917, by which time it was, in Wilson's words, " too late."
