Wilson believed the league could prevent future wars by deciding fair settlements of disputes between nations. He believed it would be the world's only hope for a lasting peace.Most of the other representatives did not have Wilson's faith in the power of peace. Yet they supported his plan for the League of Nations.
Wood that is thoroughly air-dried retains 8â16% of the water in the cell walls, and none, or practically none, in the other forms. Even oven-dried wood retains a small percentage of moisture, but for all except chemical purposes, may be considered absolutely dry.he general effect of the water content upon the wood substance is to render it softer and more pliable. A similar effect of common observation is in the softening action of water on rawhide, paper, or cloth. Within certain limits, the greater the water content, the greater its softening effect.
The moisture content of the wood varies with the relative humidity of the surrounding air, as this chart shows. Once the wood has been dried, the moisture content never again rises above 28 percent (its fiber saturation point) from the effects of humidity alone. For this to happen, the wood must be immersed in water.*.
