Character Of American Flag is Nodded

ideni Wilson in Flag Day Speech
OF MILLIONS

President Explains Necessity for Driving
German Armies Back in Order 10
Break Power at Home
BY United Press.

BY United Press.
Washington, June 14.-Americans
are at war lin defense of our rights as
a free people and our honor as sover-
eign government" President Wilson
stated this afternoon while explaining
why America is fighting, in speech
solemnly vibrant with warning Of
draining of blood and suffering which
the country must endure, but a speech
which carried a deep conviction that
the nation is fighting for the right.
The presidents address was deliv-
cred daring the conservation Of Flag
Day. His speech stung with bitterness
in the arraignment Of Germany not
the German people, but German autoc-
racy. He named Austria-Hungary the
dupe Of German autocrats and Bulga-
ria and Turkey their catspaws and
earnestly counciled against any con-
sideration Of peace feelers.
The president said:
my fellow citizens: We meet to
celebrate Flag Day because this flag
which we honor and under which we
serve is the emblem of unity, our pow
er. our thought and purpose as ma
ton IT has no other character than
that which we give it from generation
to generation. These chances are ours,
1t floats in majestic silence above the
hosts that execute these choices wheth-
er in peace or in war. And yet, though
silent, it speaks to us-speaks to us
Of the past, Of the men and women who
went before us and of the records they
wrote upon it, We celebrate the day
of its birth and from its birth until
now it has witnessed a great history,
has flowed on high in symbol Of great
events, Of the great plan OF life work
ed out by a great people. We are
about the carry it into battle, to lift it
where it will draw the fire Of our en-
emies. We are about to bid thous-
ands, hundreds of thousands, 1t may
be millions of our men, the young. the
strong, the capable men of the nation
to go forth and die beneath it in
fields Of blood far away-for what
for some unaccustomed thing? For
something for which it has never
sought the fire before? American ar
mics we're never before sent across the
sea. Why are they sent now? For
some new purpose. for which this
great flag has never been carried be-
fore, or for some old, familiar, heroic
purpose, for which it has seen men, its
own men, die on every battlefield on
which Americans have borne arms
since the revolution
These are questions which must be
answered. We are Americans. We
in our turn serve America and can
serve her with no private purpose We
must use her flag as she has always
used it. We are accountable at the
