Somewhere in France.

When Rochambeau's gallant troops
came ashore at Newport to help the
American colonists win independence
from their mother diseases, it was to
write one more page in chapter of
history that goes back to Troy and
Carthage. But when Black Jack"
Pershing strobe down the gangplank
at Boulogne to take command of our
country's armed forces in France, a
new volume was opened, a volume
that may conceivably close with moth
ing less than the federation of the
world. Our age has long been per-
fecting the means by which human
unity can be maintained. Steam and
electricity are the conduerors of es-
tranging space and sundering time.

tyranny for which ancient wisdom
had no solution. Our own United
States has been above all others the
land where the races of every cline
might meet unhindered by the jarr-
ing ambition of historic nationality.
The symbol of that whole revelation
is our flag borne by our soldiers
through French streets in the par.
ades of July IA, the anniversary of
the fall of the Bastille. The foe is
the old one; the doctrine that some
nations and classes must rule others
by thesword. Against that enslaving
creed, as upheld by Prussia's legions,
the new world has set its strength.
Voices are raised in Germany that
seem to show realization of this,
voices declaring that Germany cannot
stand alone against the tide of demo-
cracy that now flows strong even
through what was the Russian En-
pire. The world turns to new or
der in which there shall be scope for
the best that all men can do. There
are wrongs to be righted, evils to be
atoned. but, more than these, there
is this vision Of just policy for all
mankind. and it is for those who can
see that vision to bend their every
energy to its triumph. That is what

to secure herself against new aggres-

standing martyrdom populations OF
Italian race and language that have
been prosecuted implacably, and are
nevertheless prouder than ever Of
their italian nationality. But Italy has
not been and will never be an element
Of discord In Europe and, as she wifled
her own free national existence at the
cost of any sacrifice so she will con-
tribute with all her strength to the
free existence and development Of 9TH
