U. S. FOR PRINCIPLE,
SAYS PRESIDENT WILSON

these things, it is not pretension on
our part to say that We are privileged
to stand for what every nation would
wish to stand for. and speaking for
those things which all humanity must
desire.
When l think Of the flag which those
ships carry. the only touch OF color about
them, the only thing that moves as II 1t
had a second spirit in it, in their solid
structure. it seems to me / see alter
nate strips of parchment upon which are
written the rights of liberty and justice
and strips of blood, split to vindicate
those rights, and when in the corner a
prediction of the blue serene into which
every nation may swim which stands for
these great things.
Principles Close to Heart.
1.-The mission of America is the only
thing that a sailor or soldier should
think about: he has nothing to do with
the formulation of her policy; he is to
support her policy. whatever ii is-but
he is to support her policy in the spirit
OF herself; and the spirit of our policy
is that we, who for the time being, ad-
minister the affairs of this nation. do
not originate her spirit. we attempt to
embody it; We attempt to realize it in
action: we are dominated by it. We do
not dictate it, and SO with every man in
arms who serves the nation, he stands
and waits to do the thing which the ma
ton desires. America sometimes seems
to forget her program. or, rather, [
would say. that sometimes those who
represent her sometimes forget her pro-
gram, but the people never forget them.
1T is startling as it is touching to see
how whenever YOU touch a principle YOU
touch the hearts of the people of the
United States. They listen TO your de-
bates of policy; they debate which party
they will prefer in power. but their real
affection. their real force, their irresita BILE
momentum is for the ideals which men
embody.
These things now brood over the
river this spirit now moves with the men
who represent the nation in the navy.
these things move upon the waters in
the maneuvers: no threat lifted against
any man, against any nation, against
any interest. but just d great, solemn
evidence that the force of America is
the force of moral principle: that there
is not anything else that she loves. and
that there is not anything else for which
she will contend

with deliberate attempts to deceive

lie" This excoriation covered pra cti-
cally every stage of Mr.. Hogan's argu-
ment. and il was repeatedly demonstrate
ed that the banks counsel has put aside
all restraint in the bitter resentment
which is felt at what yesterday was
termed an official usurpation of power
designed to rob the officials of the Riggs
Bank of their good name and to ruin an
honorable institution.

was offered in reply to the statement in
Comptroller Williams AFFIDAVIT in re-

The formal brief of Comptroller Will
liams in support of the contention that
the Injunction ought to be dismissed was
MED yesterday. 1t is contended in this
brief that tho suit would make the United
States a party to it. whereas the United
States may not be made a party TO a
snlt without its consent: that the plain
tin has an adequate remedy at law. and
that further no cause OF action is shown
because the court has no Jurisdiction to
review the exercise of a discretion i'm
posed on the comptroller by statute.
The hearing on the motion to dismiss
will be continued today. when the gov
eminent attorneys will be heard Ex-
Senator Bailey will close the argument
for the bank. II is expected that the

ing that o0aay's interview between
the Ambassador and the Secretary of
State will show that Germany's pur-
pose in asking postponement Of ac-
tion is not merely to give opportuni-
ty for long dispute over questions
of fact. but to pave the way for an
amicable settlement. The mere fact
that the Ambassador should be in
structed to ask that the United Stat

an indication that Germany has wax
ed up to the fact that the Arabic case
has seriously threatened the friendly
