BURG BATTLEFIELD.

Nat on Does Not Stand Still, He Says,

People Are Laws on Statute

Gettysburg, Pa. July 4.-President
Wilson's address today was the chief
feature of National day in the celebra-
ton of the seni-centennial of the Bat
tie OF Gettysburg 1t was heard by a
vast crowd OF old soldiers and others
and was warmly applauded.
The presidents address follows:
Friends and Fellow Citizens: l need
| not tell you what the battle of Gettys-
burg meant. These gallant men in
blue and gray sit all about us here.
Many Of them met here upon this
ground in grim and deadly struggle.
Upon these famous fields and hillsides
their comrades died about them. In
their presence 1t were an impertinence
to discourse upon how the battle went,
how it ended, what 1t signified! But
SO years have gone by since then and
I crave the privilege Of speaking to
you for a few minutes Of what those
so years have meant
What have they meant? They have
meant peace and union and vigor, and
the maturity and might Of great ma
ton. How wholesome and healing the
peace has been! We have found one
another again as brothers and COM
rades in arms, enemies nc longer, gen.
erous friends rather, our battles long
past the quarrel orsotten-except
that we shall not forget the splendid
valor, the manly devotion of the men
then arrayed against one another, now
grasping hands and smiling into each
others eyes. How complete the union
has become and how dear to all of us,
how unquestioned, how benign and
majestic. as state after state has been
added to this great family of free
| men! How handsome the vigor, the

ton we love with undivided hearts;
how full Of large and confident prom

that will crown its strength with gra-
cious justice and happy welfare that
will touch all alike with deep content

crowded years: they have made US
heirs to a mighty heritage.
Nation Not Finished.
But do we deem the nation COM
plete and finished? These venerable
men crowding here to this famous
field have set US a great example OF
devotion and utter sacrifice. They
were willing to die that the people
might live. But their task Is done.
Their day Is turned into evening. They
look to US to perfect what they estab-
lished. Their work Is handed on to
us, to be done In another way but not
in another spirit. Our day is not over:
1t Is upon us in full tide.
Have affairs paused? Does the
nation stand still? Is it what the 80
years have wrought since those days
OF battle finished, rounded out, and
completed? Here Is a great people,
great with every force that has ever
beaten in the lifeblood OF mankind.
And 1t Is secure. There is no one
within it's borders, there Is no
power among the nations of the earth,
to make 1t afraid. But has 1t yet
squared itself with its own great
standards set up at it's birth. when II
made that first noble, naive appeal to
the moral Judgment Of mankind to
take notice that government had
now at last been established which
was to serve men, not masters? 1t ia
