LincOlnS Immortal Speech
at Gettysburg

Four and seven years ago our fathers brought
forth on this continent, nation, conceived in
liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all
created equal
Now engaged in great civil war, testing
whether that nation, any nation conceived and
dedicated, can long endure We are met on great
battlefield of that We have to dedicate
portion of that field final resting place for those
who here gave their lives that that nation might live
1t is altogether fitting and proper that should do
this
But in larger sense, cannot dedicate-We
not consecrate- cannot hallow-ths ground. The
brave men, living and dead who struggled here have
consecrated it, far above poor power to add de-
tract. The world Will little note nor long remember
what say here but it forget what they did
here, it is for the living rather, to be dedicated
here to the unfinished work. which they who fought
here have thus far noby advanced 1t rather for
be here dedicated to the great task remaining be-
fore us-that from these honored dead we take in
creased devotion to that for which they gave
their last full measure of devotion-that here highly
resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain
that this nation under God, shall have birth of
freedom and that government of the people, by the
people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth

What the War
Moues Mean
ByJw. T. MASON

BY J. W. +. MASON
(Sta1 Correspondent United Press)
NEW YORK. Sept. Germany has
recognized Sir Edward Grey's charge
that she is seeking tribute a. her price
of peace.
No denial Of the charge has been
made. Instead, German newspapers
taunt England with being more fearful
Of paying Germany an indemnity than
seeing the allies lose any territory.
This is declared in Berlin to Be the
reason the British are 90 angered at
the mention Of tribute" This argu.
ment. however. Is not legitimate.
Great Britain. with her grip ON the
colonies Germany has lost. and with
her successful blockade Of shipping.
certainly is not in . position Of disad-
vantage. There can be NO levy on
England or seizure Of British territory
either under the present conditions or
under any at all likely to arise before
the conclusion Of the war.
The Berlin newspapers are not igno-

ably attempting to confuse the issue

reaction in Germany's favor II she an.
nounces that she does not want tribute.
There is . hint in the North German
Gazette that the latter theory may be
right. But 1t is not legitimate to infer
that this will be the outcome. Ger.

Ito Be fighting for tribute. As long ~
that Impression IL allowed to remain
,uncorrected. 1t will be assumed BY the
allies that 1t is true. II It be true.
there will certainly be no peace until
one side or the other IL so exhausted
financially that all possibility Of OBJ
tanning idemnity will have vanished.
Thus, since exhaustion. rather than
tribute. Ia preferred by all the belig.
erents. the idea of levying tribute
really defeats itself. No tribute-that
Ia. no tribute worth fighting for-can
be collected from q nation that is
bankrupt.
To persist in the demand for tribute,

means to persist in fighting the war

field. Mr.. Freeman bought the
bale not to make money since
the cotton market was so badly
demoralized at that time on ac
count of the European war but
TO render needed assistance to
the south, which depended for
its living upon the cotton raised.
and sold at a normal price.
From the way matters looked
when lie made the investment,
Mr. Freeman expected to realize
about S2o for the bale of cotton
he purchased for $50, figuring
the other $25 as Il donation to
the south. He did receive a
check for $2j on his cotton. and
supposed that was all he would .
receive. He was agreeably sur /
pried, however, last week to re. /
ceiye a check for S26. 80, making
Sol.5O for the $50 bale. A profit
of sl.5O had been realized after
all expenses had been paid, so
instead of S25 loss he realized a
81, 80 gain.
That the cotton market had
reached a point whore a bafe
would net $5l 80 is good news to
Mr.. Freeman, since it shows a
very gratifying condition in the
