Washington, May 2.-America, re-
awakened in national spirit through
lessons of the war in Europe was the
theme of an address by President VIII
son at the opening of the National
Service School Military encampment
for young women.
In concluding, the President voiced
a warning that the honor and integ-

country should not be drawn into war,
but declared that If 1t should be, lin

that in time of trouble the great mass

States would be loyal.

II 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

presence of conditions which we can
not yet assess, because they are I'M

the ordinary life Of nations have been
so disturbed that mo man can predict
what the final settlement will be. And
If 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 tie foundations of civiliza-
