Do you remind me Of the precious blood

the slain? And this is. indeed, a heavier
price than all combined. And. vet as q

has been by the sacrifice Of our noblest sons.

It's imperial destiny. Pray God the time
may never come when American heroism Is
but a legend. like the story of the Cid:
American faith in our mission and our might
a dream dissolved and the glory of our
mighty race departed.
And that time will never come. We will
renew our youth at the fountain of new and
glorious deeds. We will exalt our reverence
for the nag by carrying 1t to y noble future
as we'll as by remembering its ineffabie
past. Its Immortality will not pass. because
and always we will acknowledge
and discharge the solemn responsibilities our
sacred dag In its deepest meaning put upon
us. And so. Senators. with revercnt hearts.
where dwells the fear of God. the American
people move forward to the future Of their
hope and the doing Of His work.
Concluding, the Senator said:
Mr.. President and Senators, adopt the res.
olution offered that peace may quickly come
and that We may begin our saving. regen.
sEaling and uplifting work. Adopt it and
this bloodshed will cease when these deluded
children Of our islands learn that this is the
ftnal action Of the representatives Of the
American people In Congress assembled. ;
reject 1t, and the. world, history and the
American seople. will know where to for.
ever nx the awful responsibility for the con.
sequences that will surely follow such fail.
ure to do our manifest duty. How dare w.
delay when our soldiers blood is lowing?
