poses behind it.
There are two things which I may
permit myself to say: One, on my
own behalf, the other on behalf of
my ,countrymen in general" he said.
ION my W behalf, let me express
the deep qualification | feel at being
connected in any capacity whatever
with events which associate our cOun-
tries in q common effort for a great
ideal.
Gratitude For America.
"On behalf of my cOuntrymen, let
mo express u gratitude for all that
the citizens of the United States Of
America have done to mitigate tho
lot of those who, in the allied coun-
tries, have suffered from the cruel
ties of the most deliberately cruel Of
all wars.
'To name no others, the efforts Of
Mr.. Gerard to alleviate the condi-
ton OF British and other prisoners
Of a in Germany, and the admin:
istrative genius which Mr.. Hoover
has ungrudgingly devoted to the relief
Of the unhappy Belgians and French,
will never be forgotten; while IN in
eXhaustible stream Of charitable Of
fort has supplied medical and nursing
skill to the service of the wounded
and the sick.
'These are the memorable dOings
Of a benciicent neutrality. but the
days of neutrality are, / rejoice to
think. at an end; and the first page
is being turned in a new chapter in
the history of mankind. Your presi-
dent, in a most apt and vivid phrase,
has proclaimed that the world must
be made safe for democracy.
Seen as Happy Augury.
"DcmOcracies wherever they arc to
be found, and not least the dcmOcra-
cics of the British Empire, will hail
the pr0nouncement as a happy aug
ury. That self-governing commune
ties are not to be treated as negligible
simply because they are small; that
the ruthless domination Of n un.
scrupulous power imperils the future
Of civilization and the liberties of
mankind are truths Of political ethics
which the bitter experience of war is
burning into the souls Of all freedom
loving peoples. D..
THAT this great people should have
thrown themselves Fundamentally
into this mighty struggle, prepared
for all the efforts and sacrifices that
may be required to win success for
this most righteous cause, is an event
at once 20 happy and SO momentous
that only the historian of the future
will be able, as | believe, to measure
it's true prOpOrtiOns.'

The Great Blue Tent

ON Paris to the New York Times two years ago. The chal-
nge to the Stars and Stripes to live up to its history follows:
.. BY Edith Wharton.
Come unto me, said the Flag.
For am no shotriddled rag,
But a great blue tent of Rest.
Ye Leavyladen, come ~, r.
= On the aching feet of dread.
From ravaged town, from murdered home,
~t From your tortured and your. dead.
All they that beat at my crimson bars IS ..-
SHALL enter without demur.
Though the round earth rock with the wind of wars,
Not one of my folds shall stir.
See. here is warmth and sleep,
And a table largely spread;
1 give garments to them that weep,
But what, through my Utmost fold, = #@
o Flag that was once our star?
"where did you learn that bread is life,
And where that fire is warm .
As an eagle takes the Storm
Where did you learn that MEN are bred
Where hucksters barg ain and gorge:
Than the SHOWS OF Valley Forge?
Come up, come up to the stormy sky.
where sn issin ss' 1s ssSsh ,o IS how 70 : ~ num-
o Flags Of Freedom, said the Flag,
Brothers of wind and sky;
l tug and tug at the anchorin place,
Where my drowsy folds are caught: y
I strain to be off on the Odd fierce chase
OF the foe we have always fought.
o People I made, said the Flag,
And welIed from sea to sea,
I am still tie ~shotrddled rag
That shrieks to be free, to be free.
Oh, eut. my stkenf ties
From, the roof Of the palace Of Peace;
Give back my STATS 70 the skies,
Ny Stripes to the storm striped Seas.
Or else, il you bid me yield,
Then down with ny crimson bar.
And DER all my azure field
Sow poppies instead OF stars.
