JOHN WESLEY HILL SPEAKER
New York Man Reviews the Military
Achievements of Martyred Soldier
Pr0phesied World Peace.

Galena, ILL.,, April 27.-Dr. John Wes-
ley Hill of New York City, general
secretary of the Worlds Court League
OF America yesterday made the
chief address at the celebration of
the birthday of General U. S. Grant
Visitors were here from all parts of
the state. The city was decorated with
the national colors in honor of the
great soldier and statesman who made
his home here for so many years.
After dwelling on General Grants
military achievements, DR.. Hill spoke
of questions springing out of the pres
ent European war, putting special en-
phasis on General Grants prophesy of
world peace. Among other things, DR..
Hill said:
Seated yonder upon Mount Nc
Gregor, his life slowly ebbing out. the
scenes of time gradually fading from
his vision, the soul of the silent SOL
der was absorbed in a great dream.
He was not thinking of Vicksburg or
calling the astounding victories which
he won over greater obstacles than
those encountered by any other war
rior in the history of the world. He
was thinking of the future, brooding
over the interests and issues of his
country in years to come, contemplate
ing the highest good of his people, and
the greatest glory of the flag we love
so we'll
Hear him: Let US have peace
That was the fitting valedictory of the
great soldier who, having established
peace through war, said in Guild Hall,
London, L never have felt any sort of
fondness for war and never have ad-
vocated it except as means of peace,
and who, upon the adoption of the
treaty by which the Alabama claim was
settled without war, declared I regard
this as the first of long series of arbi
trations to follow, which ultimately
will supercede war. England and the
United States are so far advanced that
such settlements are possible, and
when two or three more nations come
up to this level, they will not allow
the other nations to go to war Thus,
the hero of Appomattox takes his place
as the prophet of universal peace.
Reason Versus Force.

pause in the midst of the present war

To-day civilization is at the parting
Of the ways Humanity has reached
the crossroads of destiny What the
outcome will be, wesscarcely dare at
tempt to prophesy. Some lessons, how
ever, are striking and apparent. First,
the lesson of preparedness. There are
those who decry preparedness who
advocate peace at any price, and ap-
parently contemplate the pacifying of
national asperities by the waving of a
wand. We must not forget, however,
that mere sentiment lacks dynamic
force. God helps them who help
themselves BE sure you are right
and then go ahead But unless you
are ready to defend the right and back
up the right in an emergency, you had
better not start. Peace must be more
than an iridescent dream To be of
value, it must resolve itself into a pro-
ductive power
The nation which will not defend
itself is derelict; which dare not, is a
coward; which can not, is an imbecile.
The flag which does not symbolic the
dignity and power of nationality at
home and abroad upon every land and
every sea may be spectacular gala

which commands obedience, the quality
which inspires devotion. 1t is for us
therefore, at such time as this, to let
the whole world know the meaning,
the dignity, the power and glory of
Bunker Hill to Yorktown's cloudless
day; the flag which waved in triumph
from Sumpter to Appomattox; the flag
which triumphed at Santiago and Ma
Mia. which symbolizes all our hopes,
proclaims the triumphs of our Won
drous past. and is vital with the pa
triotic spirit of a people who glory in
Americanism.
Let it be known, however, that mill
tarism is not our goal; that while we
are Obliged under the present order to
march over this bloody causeway we
are climbing toward a higher. diviner
level, namely, the establishment of JUS

Fight Over Fight.


Paris.-Hemorrhages resulting from
compression and depression of air nv
the explosion of projectiles have be-
come more common in the French ar
my since the artillery fire developed
its maximum intensity.
In some cases the shock is instantly
mortal and in others only temporarily
discommoding. Monsieur Leon Binst,
inferno of the Paris HOSPITALS. now
AID surgeon in the army, who has made
special study of these cases. finds
that the effect of the explosion is to
compress the air in the case of a shell
from a cannon and to depress it in the
case of a projectile from a trench NOR
tar. In both cases the hemorrhage is
pulmonary.
In one case observed by Monsieur
Binet, projectile from trench NOR
tar exploded within three yards of a
soldier lying on the ground. The mans
breathing was instantly obstructed he
began to cough and he spit half glass
full of aerated blood A half hour later
he was all right again In another
case four-inch shell fired at long
distance exploded directly over a can
non. Aerated blood began to flow
from the nostrils and mouths of two
gunners standing beside the piece and
they dropped dead in their tracks. In
neither of the two cases reported were
there any exterior marks of wounds
In the first case the effect was from
depression, in the second from atmos-
pheric compression.
