won the first great victory. The sec
ond great victory is yet 10 be vex.
The allies and the United States are
as much responsible for the peorrnni-
zation Of Germany as for the con-
I quest OF Germany. II is for them 20
enter Germany and take fun chsrse
Of the country. Troops should enter
Berlin and march through all the
cities Of the country until the revoIu-
/ tionists realize that the Germans are
conquered people. We must beware
lest the same trickery which has been
used against US in the last four vearf
be exercised at the present time. In
less we educate the people Of Ger

bishop HnrdinEt we have gained
the victory. and we are all rejoicing
that it has been achieved after ali
these years. But we have not vet

while they sit around the peace table
still have the dificUlt question before
them Of justice for all nations. e.

nations"
Rt. Rev. c. =. Thom.sI we eI-
pected 10 win and we have won
Religion and humanity have gained
. the victory Of righteousness We must
keep cool head and work for the
( unifcation Of our people"
Bishop shahsnI i express my de-
I light in the great victory and am sat
isfied that IL is an excellent omen Of
American peace. II marks the be-
ginning OF a new political and social
order in the world"
IsH.c GansI Everything is in bet
ter shape than before the war. The
war has created a spirit Of brotherly
| love that did not exist In the pre-
war days. Military life has recon
structed the ideas ef man.. men
believe that the man who has been

/ TO help and 10 aid mankind in a wsy
/ that he could not have been brourhf
4 10 do before the war. II has brought
home to US the brotherhood OF mar
and has taught every one a very
great deal"
: John r. DiekmanI 7 regard thi,
as the greatest day in the history Of
civilization and President Wilson as
the greatest man in the world. I
have followed the messages OF Presi-
. dent Wilson in The Herald and their
total foreshadowed the events that
have taken place" said John r
Dickman, president Of the Central La
Dor Union.
Col Robert y. Harper, president Of
INC District National Bank said
think that the principles for which
the United States and her allies have
Fought are fully enunciated in the
address OF the President before Con-
gress yesterday. The people OF the
country Should be entirely satisfied
that he has backed up what We en-
, tered the war TO accomplish
William F. Guide said. From the
time the President was elected /,
became the duty OF every citizen
OF the United States to stand hy him
IL is my belief that they have done
so to man. II is certain that they
viii continue TO do so until the trouble
is completely cleared IN"
