George Washington's Address 20
HE Soldiers Before the Battle
of Lone Island, In 1776.

The time is now near at hand which
must probably determine whether
Americans are to be freemen or
slaves; whether they are to have any
property they can call their own;
whether their houses and farms are
themselves consigned to state of
wretchedness from which no human
efforts will deliver them.
The fate OF unborn millions will
now depend. under God, on the cour-
age and conduct of this army. Our
cruel and unrelenting enemy leaves US
only the choice of q brave resistance,
or the most abject submission. We
have. therefore. to resolve to conquer
or die.
Our own, our country's honor, calls
upon US for a vigorous and manly ex-
ertion; and IL we now shamefully fail,
we shall become infamous to the
whole world. Let us, then, rely on the
goodness Of our cause, and the aid of
the Supreme Being, in whose hands
victory is. to animate and encourage
US to great and noble actions.
The eyes Of all our countrymen are
now upon us; and we shall have their
blessing and praises, IL happily we are
the instruments Of saving them from
the tyranny meditated against them.
Let us, therefore, animate and en-
courage each other. and show the
whole world that a freeman contend
ing for liberty on his own ground is
superior to any slavish mercenary on
earth.
Liberty property. life, and honor
are all at stake. Upon your courage
and conduct rest the hopes Of our
bleeding and insulted country. Our
wives, children and parents expect
safety from us only; and they have
every reason to believe that heaven
will crown with success so just a
cause.
The enemy will endeavor to intimi-
date by show and appearance; but re-
member they have been repulsed on
various occasions by few brave
Americans. Their cause is bad

A Great Movement for Peace.

Right after breaking diplomatic re-
lations with Germany, while the United
States was hoping against hope and
preparing for any eventuality, q great
movement was started to keep this
country at peace. 1t was a quiet move
ment, but It probably had the entire
sanction of the government at Wash
ington. This tactt movement developed
along three lines:
First, efforts OF neutrals, confined
now to almost all neutrals excepting
the United States, to have q conference
called at Madrid with view to comm
ing the war to its present limits and If
possible to get secret or public assur-
ances from Germany that although she
does not rescind her barred zone" de-
cree, she will not harm American or
other neutral rights.
Second, an effort by this government
to avoid break with Austria by hav-
ing Austria modify her Endorsement OF
Germany's undersea campaign, and
Third, the expected efforts OF German
Ambassador Won Bernstorff to preserve
peace after he reaches Berlin, provided
of course, the covert act" has not been
committed by Germany by that time
This apparently is an Independent move
on Bernstorffs part, though 1t Is admit
ted it can scarcely. fail to meet with
this governments approval.

A King I'm Exile.

Old King Nicholas of Montenegro Is
now living in Paris. He is not such a
noble character as we might suppose
the King of the Black Mountain ought
to be. The Montenegrians are good
fighters, but modern artillery they do
not own or understand. Although they
could not be conquered and held their
ground for hundreds of years, yet when
the Austrians came with heavy guns
they were driven out of their mountain
Businesses.
Some suspect that the, old king did
not try very hard. Perhaps he was
looking for an easy time. His favorite
son, Prince Mirko, went over to the
Austrians and has since led an easy life
at Vienna. Danilo, the older son, was
married to a German princess. Nicholas
took his family and suite in flight to
Italy. One of his daughters is queen
eonsort there. He expected her to keep
him. But Italy refused. He went to
France. That country gave him q PEN
sion and loaned him 9 fine house at
Lyons. He shifted to Bordeaux. Then
he wanted to go to the front.
The allies were paying him $4,000 a
month. Some thought ne might get in
the way Of q stray bullet and cut down
war costs little. So they let him go
to the front. But he came back with no
casualty. on his way he saw Paris and
refused to return to Bordeaux. So
France leased two houses there for the
itinerant court of Montenegro.
