Buffalo, N. Y, Nov. 13.-President

was the signal for a tremendous out
burst Of cheers from the 5000 people,
assembled to hear him.

ferred to him as this man Of destiny,
spokesman for freedom, interpreter
Of the aims and spirit of our time, lead
er of thoughts and action among the
nations of the earth"
'This is q great privilege and a

1t seems to me that 1t was a welcome
opportunity to speak to you some Of

ing in my mind for the past few

a man seeking counsel.
Causes Of War.
81 think that in order to realize of
just what m this counsel Is, 1t
would be well to remind ourselves just
how and why this wal came about.
1.-THE war was started by Germany.
Her authors deny 1t, but l am will
ing to await the verdict of history.
Why did Germany start the war; Re
member the position Of Germany in
the world. The whole world stood in
admiration of her intelligence and ma
terial achievements.
"As a university nan l have been
surrounded by men trained In Ger
many. Nowhere else could they get
such training. Her industries were
perhaps the most competent In the
world. She had access to all mar
kets in the world, but men in those
markets feared Germany because of
her almost irresistible competition.
Her industries were perhaps the
best In the world. Her label, Made
in Germany was a guarantee of good
workmanship. She had a place in the
sun. Why was she not satisfied?
What Did She Want7
"What more did she want2 There
was nothing in a world Of peace she
did not have, yet she was not salts
fed.
''There is no important industry In
Germany upon which government has
not laid its hand to direct and, If
necessary, to control It,.
"They we're the same kinds of com
binatlons that we have tried to pre-
ven by law. The conditions of com
petition were thus controlled by the
German government.
"A political control which would
enable to control all labor and indus
try of the world was behind 1t all.

many, in thrusting again her peace
proposals upon us, talks of Belgium
