WASHINGTON. May 1.-America reawakened in national spirit through lessons of the war in Europe was the theme of an address by President Wilson today at the opening of the National Service School Military En- campment for Young Women. In concluding, the president voiced warning that the honor and integ- rity of the United States cannot be tempered with. He prays that the country should not be drawn into war. but declared that if 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 jus tice 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. 'I 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, and that any man who dares tamper with the spirit of America will be cast out of the con- fidence of a great nation upon the instant
 The address follows:
 Tt is with unaffected pleasure that l come to greet you as you have as- sembled for the interesting things you are going to do. l have always felt that there was very much more inspiration in things that were vol untarily done than in things that were done under official direction and by official summons. You have volunteered to come together without official suggestion in order. t. study some things which, while they are characteristic of the sort of comfort and assistance which women have been accustomed to offer, are, never- theless, in this instance associated with a very great national concep. tion and duty.
 We, of course, are living in the presence of conditions which we cen. not yet assess, because they are un precedented. The world never wit messed such a war as is now con. vulsing almost every part of tn world except this part which we par ticularly love and would seek to safe guard; and the very foundations o the ordinary life of nations have beel disturbed, so deeply disturbed tha no man can predict what the fina settlement will be. And if this wa has done nothing else, it has at leas done this: It has made Americ aware of dangers which most of II had deemed unreal, and has made u aware that the danger of our ow time is nothing less than the unset tlement of the foundations of civ iliZation.
 Civilization does not rest upo war. It rests upon peace It rest upon those things which men achiev by cooperation and mutual interest i one another. It does not flourish i the soil of hostility and antagonisn and a world war Is a war in tn presence of which civilization hold it's breath and wonders if it wi itself survive. As we see these grea
 issues joined, we on this side of u water are done this great service. W
 are reminded of our spiritual relatic not only to this great struggle, bl particularly to this great nation which we constitute parts. and or
