by no act Of mine, by no word OF

TELLS YOUNG WOMEN AT MILL.
TARY ENcAMPMENT THAT PA
TRIoTiSM IS VERY MUCH
ALIVE IN COUNTRY.
IF WAR SHOULD COME, ALL
WORLD WOULD BE THRILLED
President Declares Voice of America
Would Assert Standards of Justice
and Liberty - Confident Great
Mass of Foreign Born Cit-
gems Would Be Loyal.

Washington, May 3.-America, re-
awakened In national spirit through
lessons of the war in Europe, was the
theme OF an address by President Will
son at the opening of the National
Service School Military encampment
for young women.
In concluding, the President voiced
. warning that the honor and integ-
rity of the United States cannot be
tempered with. He prayed that the
country should not be drawn into war,
but declared that II It should be. "in
the great voice of national enthusiasm
which would be raised, all the world
would stand once more thrilled to hear
the voice of the new world asserting
the standards of justice and liberty"
The President expressed confidence
that in time of trouble the great mass
OF foreign born citizens of the United
States would be loyal.
Would Answer Call With Cheers.
81 never had the slightest doubt of
what would happen when America
called upon those of her citizens born
in other countries to come to the sup
port of the flag" he said. why, they
will come with cheers, they will come
with a momentum which will make us
realize that America has once more
been cried awake out of every sort OF
distemper and dream, and distraction
will be cast out of the confidence of
America Aware of Dangers.
1--WE, of course, are living in the
presence OF conditions which we can
not yet assess, because they are un-
precedented. The very foundations OF
the ordinary life of nations have been
SO disturbed that no man can predict
what the final settlement will be. And
II this war has done nothing else It
has at least done this; 1t has made
America aware OF dangers which
most Of us had deemed unreal, and
has made us aware that the danger of
our own time is less than the unsettle-
ment of the foundations of civiliza-
ton.
fertilization does not rest upon
war. 1t rests upon peace. 1t rests
upon those things which men
achieve by cooperation and mutual
interest in one another.
You have come together to be
prepared for any unusual duty which
America may calf upon you to perform,
but what has moved you to do this?
Your duty to your country. But what
is the foundation of that duty? What
do you conceive America to be?
When you come to the last search
ing analysis, we do not owe any duty
except to those things that we believe
In and the glory of performing our
duty towards America, that we believe
in America and we believe in America
because venture to say it with en-
tire respect for other peoples and 9th
er governments-this government was
established with special purpose
such as no other government ever
Rvowed.
I'VE are beginning to realize how
. nation is unit and that any in
dividual Of 1t who does not feel the
impulse Of the whole does not be-
long to 1t and does not belong in it."

This magnificent building was erected
