I was thinking about making it on Wilson's 14 points and how the other allied powers reacted to this, but I can't thinking of any creative ways to make an activity out of it.

Write a play and record it on video. You could have Woodrow Wilson giving a Press Conference, and then news events after showing the reaction of the world leaders. This is a good team activity. Ask the teacher if you can do it as a team project.
Or, Make a game of it. Set it up in the classroom like one of the gameshows and let your classmates try to win points, use a lifeline, call a teacher, or eliminate two of the wrong answers.
Last idea: Using a video camera and alone, do a fictionalized silioquy on the famous persons of the time and their reactions covering Wilson's 14 points. You could do it with silhouettes and faking their accents, or with live acting. See the Link below. I don't think people will be able to guess their names, you could use cue cards and write their names like in a silent film.
Some Examples:
Pancho Villa, rebel
Mata Hari, spy
Leon Trotsky, (1879-1940), Bolshevik leader
Winston Churchill, (1911-1915), First Lord of the Admirilalty
Dorothy Lawrence war reporter
Ernest Hemingway, (1899-1961), served in the ambulance corps, author of For Whom the Bell Tolls, A Farewell to Arms, and The Sun Also Rises
Eddie Rickenbacker, (1890-1973), Ace

The gas mask idea is a good one and an eye opener. Compare the chemical weapons used in WW1 with what has been developed or used since then.
Anthrax was developed in that era and is certainly relevant today. Has the threat of biological and chemical weapons been moved from the battle front to everyday life in America?

you be Wilson present the points and make your class into groups that represent each allied power and see how they would react then discuss how they actually reacted and why.

The first use of 'chlorine gas' should allow the creation of activity.
