You have taken an oath of allegiance

going to America, not only to earn a
living, not only to seek the things
which it was more difficult to obtain
where you were>born, but to help for

Il certainly would not be one even
to suggest that man ceases to love

during his stay in Philadelphia Seven
hundred and nifty policemen had been de-
tailed for this duty. Seven detectives
acted as a personal bodyguard for Mr.
Wilson. and rode directly behind through
the streets IL addition hundreds of
policemen led the procession and brought
up the rear Tho city Troop acted as a
guard of honor. This was the forty fifth
time the troops has thus escorted u Pres-
dent.
The station was densely crowded
when the President arrived. AS he passed
a long guard of police, cheers went up
from the assembled crowd. He was
cheered all along the crowded streets.
When the President reached Convention
Hall he was escorted to a seat by Mayor
Rudolph Blankenburg He found Secre-
taries Wilson and Daniels on the plat

MY urgent advice to YOU would be
7 not only always to think first of Amer
lea, but always also to think first of
| humanity. You do not love humanity
! if YOU seek to divide human nifty into

the touch and ideal of America. for
America WAS created to unite mankind
by those passions which lift and not
by the passions which separate and de-
base.
we came to America either our
selves or m the persons OF our an
ccstors. to better the ideals of men. TO
make them sec finer things than they
mad seen before. to get rid of things
that divide and TO make sure of the
things that unite. 1t was but histor-
cal accident. no doubt, that this great
country was called the United states,
the word united in its title: and the
man who seeks to divide man from
man. group from group. interest from
interest in tho United States is striking
at its very heart.
Possible Disappointment.
1T IS a very interesting circumstance
to me in thinking of those of you who
have just sworn allegiance to this great
government that YOU were drawn
across the ocean by some beckoning
finger of hope, by some belief, by some
vision of new kind of Justice by some
expectation of a better kind of fife. No
doubt YOU have been isappointed in
some of us. Some of us are very dis
appointing. No doubt you have found
that justice in the United States goes
only with pure heart and a right pur-
pose. as it does everywhere in the
world. No doubt what you found here
with the complete beauty of the ideal
which you had conceived beforehand
But remember this, il we had grown
at all poor in the ideal, you brought
some of it with you. a man does not
go out to seek the thing that is not in
him. \ man does not hope for the
thing that he does not believe in, and
if some of us have forgotten what
America believed in. you at any rate
imported in your own hearts a renewal
of the belief. That is the reason that
l. for one. make you welcome. II I
have in any degree forgotten what
America was intended for L will thank
God if you will remind me.

such a thing as man being too proud
TO fight. There is such a thing as a

need to convince others by force that it
is right. ..,....
These are two Of the striking sentences
in the speech delivered here by Presi-
dent Wilson last night and we're inter-
preted as promise Of peace by the $4,000
persons who heard him.
The sentiment was cheered loudly. The
Presidents speech was delivered in Con-
1000 newly naturalized citizens. who
have taken the oath of allegiance here in
the past few months.
America" said the President, must
have the consciousness that on all sides
it touches elbows and touches heart
with all the nations of mankind. The
example of. America must be a special
example. And must be an ample not
merely of peace, because it will not
fight, but because peace is a healing
and elevating influence of the world,
and strife is not
These remarks precipitated a tumult
of applause and patriotic enthusiasm
attended by a waving of thousands of
small American flags. The President
made no reference to the Lustania
tragedy.
The sentiment expressed in the Pres
ident's speech was epitomized later by
one of his closest advisers as 'human-
ity first" While 1t had not yet been de-
termned. he said. exactly what steps
would be taken by the United States in
the present crisis, the idea uppermost
in the Presidents mind was to show
that whatever course is adopted-no
matter how vigorous-it will have as
it's objective the good of humanity.
Introduced by Mayor Blankenburg,
who spoke in distinctly German accent.
welcome and an appeal for a single
allegiance to the United States, the
President carried forward the idea of
the welding of foreign blood in the
makeup of America by pointing out
the true goal of right American citizen
ship to be a loyalty not to the country
of ones birth. but TO the land of ones
adoption.

not only of America, but to think first
of humanity, and you do not love hu-
