PRESIDENTS ADDRESS
TO GRAND ARMY MEN
Lessons of the Civil War, in War
and in Peace, Outlined by Mr..
Roosevelt at Banquet.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 3-President Roose-
welt. Gen. John c. Black, the commander
in-chief of the Grand Army Secretary Taft
Gen. Nelson A. Miles and other well-known
officials were guests Of honor at the ban
quet tonight to the Department Of the Po-
tOmao of the Grand Army of the Republic
The President arrived at the banquet hall
soon after 10 o'clock and was given a cordial
reception. He listened 10 patriotic speech
by General Black and then was introduced
TO the large assemblage by Thomas s. Hop
kins, the POSTMASTER of the evening The
President spoke for about half an hour He
paid tribute to the Grand Army and its
work and in a general way spoke of the
duties of citizenship and OF the lessons
taught by the civil war. He always felt, he
said. that the veterans of the war taught
the rest of us important lessons for peace
as for war. 1t made no difference to the
veteran whether man occupied a high po-
istion in the army or whether he served as
private ''All you asked" he said was
whether he did his duty. If he did you
hold up your right hand of fellowsh to
him"
The President declared that i'm the army
after all. the great vital point was the fact
of the high average of individual worth in
the rank and the file. 1t was just the same
thing with our citizenship. Ii is the high
quality of average citizenship which estab-
peace Each citizen must be able To carry
his own weight. and yet in addition must
have the power OF acting in cooperation
with his fellows TO the common end.
