THAT which / have to saw to YOU
this morning will partake moro of
the nature of an address than a ser.

applied to this address. but something
which shall be- motto 10 Won as long
as the state of war between the Cen

up our banner
"Wo have now been i'm state OF
war with the Central Empires for
some time. and | nave failed TO spcal,
ON this subject because cEurcblv mai.
ters and celebrations which could NOT

not because | have any hcsitancv I'm
expressing my personal opinion. /
am not doing so today with that alone
i'm view. This is so great and serious
a venture that personal opinions must
be- subiugated to the unity of the
whole national ideal. the ouinion thus
found must be ours.
