ONE OF TINES REvENGEs

president WILSON said in ad.
i dressing 1000 naturalized citizens in
this city on May 10. 1915:
The example Of America must be a
special example. The example OF
America must be an example of not
peace because II will not fight, but of
peace because peace Is the healing and
eIeyating influence of the world and
strife is not. There Is such a thing
as man being too proud to fight.
There Is such a thing as a nation being
40 right that II does not need TO con-
vince others by force that 1t is right
Four words of this famous utterance
were translated into nifty tongues and

for them: Republicans scoffed at them.

UNIVERSAL LIABILITY TO
SERVICE

TIME President touched the heart of
i public sentiment when he declared yes
terday that the army to be raised should
"be chosen upon the principle of universal
liability to service"
This is to be a national war, waged by
the whole nation for the vindication Of its
principles and liberal principles every
where. Let all men be liable for service,
subject to exemptions in cases where it is
apparent that the particular skill Of a
man will be Of more service to the nation
at home than in the field.
Kaiserism run amuck has taught its les
son. Never again must democracy be un
