The Honor March.

Today's demonstration in honor of
the men who have been selected 10 req
resent the District Of Columbia in the
National Army is not farewell. Not
yet are those who are to stand in the
ranks and later to fight abroad for the
principles for which this country has
entered the war to leave their homes.
But this is the last chance the commu-
nifty will have assuredly to pay tribute
to all of these men before they begin to
60 to camp. II is an expression Of ap-
probation Of the spirit in which they
have stood forth at the word of com
mand and declared their readiness to
serve the country.
This parade is, moreover, more than
. merely local demonstration. 1t is
national expression. In the persons of
the President Of the United States, the
members Of his cabinet, members Of the
Senate and House Of Representatives,
the government itself marches today.
Through the medium of this District
tribute to the selected men the people
Of the United States are here doing
honor to the citizen soldiers to be, who
have been named by a process new in
its method, but based upon an age-old
principle Of proportional representation
in the army Of defense.
Representatives of the people in Con-
gress assembled have passed a law
which, recognizing the urgent national
need, has commanded the registration
Of every citizen between certain age linn
its, and from that number the selection
Of those physically fit and capable Of
service who can best be spared for mill
tsry duty. The registration occurred
three months ago. These three months
have been an anxious time for those
who were by law made subject to the
call, and to their families For however
hsaorable the distinction Of selection,
Il entails danger. The men who go into
camp, thence to France and into the
breaches, viii face death and disable
ment. Their lovej ones may lose them
forever.
War takes its toll in human life. 1t
is terrible in its exaetions. Until war
is abolished, through the substitution of
reason and justice for the settlement of
disputes between nations, even as the
Law has interviewed between the mem
bers of communities in their disputes
and differences, there will be horror and
suffering and bitter grief. But that
time has not come. We are fighting be-
caass We must, because a nation that
knew nc law save that Of her own i'm
agined national needs and trampled
ruthlessly upon the rights of other peo-
pies now menaces the world with re-
turn to the rule of force. We are fight
ing that the day of freedom from wars
terrors may be the sooner reached.
These men who now stand forth as the
Districts quota, the picked men of this
community, will bear with them into
camp, to France, to the trenches, the
thanks Of their fellow citizens for the
services they render, for the spirit in
which they have accepted their assign
msnt to duty, for the manner in which
they have recognized that it is part of
citizenship, of membership in the social
organization Of today, to fight, even to
die IL needs be, for that principle upon
which the state is founded.
Gedspeed to them!

To assume that Russia would step i'm

To assume that she will abandon the
purpose for which she has struggled so

able.
