Aiming Whole Nations.
The power against which We are
arrayed has sought TO impose its Will
upon the world by force To this end
it has increased armament until IL
has changed the face OF war.
In the sense in which We have been
wont TO think OF armies there are nc
armies in this struggle. There are
entire nations armed. Thus, the men
who remain TO till the soil and man
the factories are no less a part OF
the army that is in France than the
men beneath the battle flags. 1t must
5e so with US
It is not an army that We must
shape and train for war; IL is a ma
ton. To this end our people mus:
draw close in one compact FROM
against a common foe.
Purpose of selection
But this cannot be If each man
pursues a private purpose. All mus
pursue one purpose. The nation needs
all men: hut il needs each man, moi
in the field that Will most pleasure
him, but in the endeavor that viii
best serve the common good. Thus
though a sharpshooter pleases &
operate a trip hammer for the forg-
! ing of great guns, and an expert ma
chinist desires TO march with the
flag, the nation is being served onll
when the sharpshooter marches and
the machinisr remains at mis- levers
