1000 Boy Scouts Parade

Two thousand Boy Scouts paraded IN
Newark, exercises were held at the
city's Fairgrounds. and negroes dec
grated the statue of Lincoln with
wreaths.
Only by turning a deaf ear to paci-
fists did Lincoln save the nation, ac-
cording to George Haven Putnam, who
spoke at the Broadway Tabernacle last
night.
"If Lincoln had listened to the peace
advocates Of his time" he said, "and
had been content with a peace with
out victory, it would have meant fifty
years of war before slavery was
stamped out. The only way TO insure
peace is TO remove the cause of war.

dressing an audience of one thousand

Stars and Stripes Fly on
informed Liners at the
HObOken Docks

Lincoln the pacifer w.s eontrasted
with modern pacifsts in many ad-
dresses yesterday, the lOsth anniver-
sarv of his birth. For the first time
since the break between Germany and
the United States the Stars and STRIPES
flew from the warbound liners at the
Hoboken piers, and while German flags
were in evidence at some Of the water
side resorts. they were linked with the
Red, White and Blue.
Lincoln loved peace, but not peace
at any price," Charles d. Hilles, former
chairman of the Republican National
Committee, told the Women's Republi-
can Club at its Lincoln Day dinner in
Delmonico's.
One hundred women, almost all presi-
dents of clubs and prominent in poiiti-
cal life. applauded this remark and
waved tiny silk flags. From behind the
speakers table a great American flag
glowed with electric lights hidden IN IT'S
folds.
Hits Men Who Nacillate
The first address was made by the
Rev. Warren Giles, who held up TO
scorn men who vacillate.
"They say million men will spring
to arms if the country needs them," he
cried, "but where are the arms 10
spring to? | doubt if there are a mill
ion rifles in this country. And what
could the million do with rifles if they
had them?
"If they don't know the difference
between a hoe handle and rifle, what
good will they be in war? There has
been a mistake made somewhere that

Turn to Lincoln

ct is most significant that the PEG,

greatest national peril have turned IN
stinctively to the words of Lincoln 70

subject of conscription are stated con

whole matter. What can be SAID o.

Since his death we have grown Dig

very impoverishment of the warning

IL can only be a matter Of conjecture
as to how Lincoln might have led ms
people through a period Of prosperity
at is certain that he would nave
chosen peace rather than war, if there
had been the possibility Of such a
choice. The idea which he placed
above peace, prosperity and all mate

DR.. Hibben Says
HITS AT INCREASE
OF LUXURY HERE
Princeton President Urges
Universal Military
Training

Springfield. ILL.,. Feb. abraham
Lincoln, as the model on which England
and France are to-day patterning their
craftsmanship, was tonight pictured as
a world hero by John Grier Hibben'
president Of Princeton University, in
an address before the Lincoln Centen-
NAL Association here.
President Hibben asserted that tn,
people Of Great Britain were to-day
using L.ncoln's words 20 mould public
opinion, to Justify governmental action
and to stimulate the spirit of volunteer
service.
DR.. Hibben spoke of "the alarming
increase Of luxury and luxurious living
throughout our land and stated that
the American people were confronted
by 'fhe grave danger Of becoming
prisoners in their own treasure
house" He recommended universal
military service as significant aid %
preserve the spirit of national unity
Life Typifies Liberty
"The three great ideas Of liberty
Justice and mercy, which are toundn,,
lion principles Of the law of life, tnd
supreme illustration in the character
of Abraham Lincoln" he said. NO
symbol OF liberty satisfies our needs
The name of Lincoln, however, the
supreme lover Of liberty, IS for every
American the perfect symbol Of liberty
itself. and his character its true com
mentary.
Lincoln has come naturally to be re-
garded by US all as prominently our
national hero. His influence reaches
beyond our shores and beyond M .
time. As Stanton prophesied at ms
death: He now belongs TO the ages.
ale has become indeed the type, the
symbol and the incarnation to otnri
peoples the world over Of that which
thew prize above even life itself. TINS
il illustrated in the striking attltuce
toward Lincoln of France and Great
Britain to-day.
