"Man is az moet awfuI Instrument

In working out a pure intent"
said Wordsworth. He meant man in
war; the war that has a deep and inef-
fable relation to hidden grandeur in
man.
To execute judgments of r~etTibution
upon outrages offered to human rights
or TO human dignity; to vindicate the
sanctity of Liberty. these are the func-
tions Of human greatness which this
war has assumed and most faithfully
discharge.
A righteous war such as this keeps
open in man a spiracle-an organ of
spiritual respiration-for breathing a
transcendent atmosphere. and dealing
with an idea and ideal that else would
perish: namely. the idea and ideal of
crusade and martyrdom for perfect civ
ilization that ind their realization in
battles such as those of the Marine; bat
ties fought for the interest of the human
race.
That such battles may be repeatedly
fought until the enemy shall have been
definitely vanquished America entered

the people-has responded 70 the call:
the youth that in the natural course of
human events had long life In prospect.
The country now asks that they who
nave enjoyed a longer and fuller life
