community powers OF each nation
shall fall the duty Of seeing to it that
all influences tending to disorder our
unity shall be accounted for.
81 need not argue these principles
to you, my fellow countrymen. They
are your own, part and parcel of your
own thinking, and your own motive
in affairs. They sprang up amongst
US. Upon this platform or purposes
in action we stand together and it is
imperative that we should stand to-
gether. We are being forged into a
new unity against the perils that now
blaze throughout the world. In their
ardent heat we shall, in Gods prefer
ence, let us hope, be purged of fac
tions and divisions, purified of errant
humors of party and of private inter-
ests and shall stand forth in the DAYS
to come with new dignity of ma
tional pride and spirit. Let each man
see to it that the dedication is in his
own heart; the high purpose of the
nation in his own mind.
81 stand here and have taken the
high and solemn oath to which you
have been audience because the peo-
pie of the United States have chosen
me for this august delegation of pow
er and by their gracious Judgment
named me their leader in their af-
fairs. I know what the task means.
l realize to the full the responsibility
it encompasses. I pray God give me
the prudence to do my duty. I am
their servant and can only act as
they guide me.
"The guiding thing which I shall
count, the thing without which Meth
er council nor action will avail, is the
unity of America-an America united
the same in purpose and in vision of
purpose and of service. We are to
beware against all men who would
turn the tasks and the necessities of
the nation to their own private profits
or use them for the building up OF
private successes; beware that no
action nor detrimental intrigue break
the honors of peace and repose; be-
ware that our government be not
kept impure or corrupt in it's party
but let us dedicate ourselves to the
great principle Of unity.
"For myself, I beg your tolerance,
your countenance and united stand
The shadows that now lie in our path
will soon lift and we shall move jr
the light if we be but true to our
selves and our principles as we wish
to be known to all the world" ..

AVE MARIA BELLS.

At dawn the joyful choir of bells
In cOnsecrated citadels
Filings on the sweet and drOwsy air
A brief, melodious call to prayer.
For Mary, Virgin meek and lowly,
Conceived of the Spirit Holy,
AS the Lords angel did declare.
At noon, above the fretful street,
Our souls are lifted to repeat
The prayer, with low and wistful
voice:
According to thy word and choice,
Though sorrowful and heavy laden,
So be it done to Thy Handmaiden; =
Then all the sacred bells rejoice.
At eve with roses in the west,
The daylight's whitening bequest,
Ring, prayerful bells while blossom
bright
The stars, the lilies of the night:
Of all the songs the years have
sung us,
The Word made Flesh has dwelt
among us"
Is still our ever-new delight.

were to carry merchandise. In reality
they were buit to supply war submarines

I'm my opinion the real inward psyche
logical motive of Germanys new sea fright
fulness was based on Germany S knowledge
that it cannot be sure of the results at
which it aims through its military power,
and that therefore Germany is attempting
to reduce the Allied morale by n last fling
OF brute strength. But that same brute
strength failed against French valor at
Verdun. at the Marne, on the Somme and

The longer the war lasts the more the
Germans must realize that brute strength
