Passed food conservation law.
Organized many voluntary com
missions and boards who are aiding
the Government and the people in
the speeding up of work, conserva-
ton of food and other national move
ments.
Drafted by lot Gs7, 600 men for mil
itary service.
While the Government was accom-
plishing these things the American
people have loaned the United States
81, 600, OOO, 600 and offered 81, 900, 600, 600
more, over four million citizens sub
scribing to the loan.
In addition they have given over
500, 100000 to the American Red
Cross and $3,OOO,OOO to the Young
Mems Christian Association.
All these things were accomplished
while our soil was not invaded or
even threatened with invasion and
without any disturbance of business
conditions. All was done with the
calm determination and Judgment of
an earnest, patriotic people perform
ing service for civilization and
mankind and maintaining the rights,
the dignity, and honor OF the greatest
nation in the world.
The German leaders derided Amer
ica's entry into the war as a bluff.
This is our answer.
The German Imperial Government
was nearly fifty years in perfecting
its military efficiency. In less than
four months the American Republic
has made such strides as to indicate
that in less than two years time the
boosted superiority of German eff
ficiency will have been discredited.
There is such thing rs American
efficiency, and time will prove that
German efficiency can not withstand
it, fighting as it is for liberty, justice
and humanity.

Germany efficiency has been held
up as degree of excellence unatCsin-

since that day the United States has
accomplished the following:

between this country and Germany.
Seized 81 German ships and begun
repair work on them.
Authorized unanimously q war

There is a third splendid tradition of the American Army which you will help to carry forward. It has fought always and everywhere in defense of principles and rights never merely for territory and for power. Even the Civil War resulted from the clash of an indivisible Union upheld by the North, and that of freedom to with draw from the Union upheld by the South.
 To protect the rights of citizens, the American people have several times opposed tyrannical governments - the English government in 1776 and 1872, the French government for short period in 1798, the Mexican govern men in 1S4S, the Spanish government in 1898. The final effect in each case has been to advance the cause of lib- erty and democracy throughout the world, even in the countries against which we fought. Our weapons have not willingly been turned against any peoples, but only against the rulers who misgoverned and misled them. In fighting for our own rights, the Amer ican Army has fought also, in Presi- dent Wilson's phrase, for the "rights of mankind"
 For a like high purpose, the Ameri- can people have entered into the pres ent war against the German govern ment-a government which in our be- lief miSrepresents and misleads the German people. Only by so doing can we make America and the world "safe for democracy" But one ending can be thought of - an ending that will guarantee the continuance of all those principles and rights which the American Army has in the past so nobly fought to establish.
 Never lose sight, even for an in- stant, of the fact that all your train ing, your efforts, and your sacrifices have this one great object in view, the attainment of which is worth any thing it may cost.

 Other things being equal, an army made up of self-reliant, thinking men has a great advantage over merely machine-like army, and this is espe- cially true in present-day warfare Maj. Gen. High l.. Scott, Chief of Staff. U. S. A., remarks on this point;
 "The conditions under which modern wars are fought are ever making in creasing demands on the individual soldier. The individual soldier must know how to interpret accurate ly orders and signals, for the enemy's fire may often so isolate him from his leader and comrades, perhaps only a step away, that he may be thrown on his own initiative in making his ac- tions conform to those of the whole line; he may have to use his own Judg men in opening fire, in advancing, in trenching."

trenching.

A second tradition of the American Army, which need only be mentioned is that of fighting fairly and treating even the enemy with as much human ity as his own conduct will permit. AS for slaughtering or enslaving the ci' william population of captured terri tory, attacking prisoners or assault ing women, American soldiers would as little commit such crimes in time of war as in time of peace. In this respect most of the civilized nations of the world think alike.

breech of his pet rife, and he return ed disconsolate; but after few min uteS he gathered three rifles that were left by wounded men and went back again"
 In the Confederate armies individ- ual soldiers were no less skillful, cool and brave. On both sides they were Americans.
 Here are a few cases quoted from official records. You must read be- tween the lines to get the full benefit of the stories they tell of resource fulness and courage.
 On June 9, 1862, Jrivate John Gray, 5th Ohio Infantry, mounted on an artillery horse of the enemy and cap tured a brass 6-pound piece, in the face of the enemy's fire, and brought it to the rear.'
 On October 1R, 1863, Private Mi chael Dougherty, 18th Pennsylvania Cavalry, "at the head of detachment of his company, dashed across an open field, exposed to a deadly fire from the enemy, and succeeded in diSlodging them from an unoccupied house, which he and his comrades defended for several hours against repeated at tacks, thus preventing the enemy from flanking the position of the Un- ion forces"
 From May s to II, 1864, Private John B. Lynch, Sd Indiana Cavalary, carried important dispatches from the President to General U. S. Grant, passing through the enemy'S country, escaping capture, delivered his mes sages and returned to Washington with replies thereto"
 On April 27, 1899, Private Edward White, 2Oth Kansas Infantry, during fight with insurgents in the Philiu- pine Islands, "Swam the Rio Grande de Pampanga in face of the enemy's fire and fastened a rope to the unoc- cupied trenches, thereby enabling the crossing of the river and the driving of the enemy from this fortified posi- tion."
 On May 6, 1900, Private William P. Maclay, 43d U. s. Volunteer Infantry, charged an occupied bastion, saving the life of an officer in hand-to-hand combat and destroying the enemy"
 In all these cases medals of honor were granted. The incidents, however are typical of the army. Thousands of similar stories might be told. They represent the spirit that will inspire the National Army when the time is at hand to show the stuff of which it is made.
 Tales of heroic courage can be found in the annals of all armies and of all nations. But the American Army has it's own special tradition, which these incidents illustrate. It is the tradition of intelligence, self-re- liance, and individual daring on the
