to the greeting extended him. "Your
greeting has raised many emotions
within me-" the president began.
ut is with no ordinary sympathy
that the people of the United States.
for whom I have the privilege Of
speaking, have viewed the sufferings
of the people of France. Many Of

wrongs of the war because we knew
the manner in which thy were per-
petrated. I beg that you will not
suppose that because a wide ocean
separated us in space we were not in
effect eye-witnesses of the shameful
ruin that was wrought and the cruel
and unnecessary sufferings that were
brought. upon you. These sufferings
have filled our hearts with indigna-
ton. We know what they were. not
only, but we know what they signi-
fled, and our hearts were touched to
the quick by them, our imaginations
filled with the whole picture Of what
France and Belgium in particular
had experienced.
When the United States entered
the war, therefore, they entered 1t not

Central empires were strong and
must be resisted by men everywhere
who loved liberty and the right. but
also because the illicit ambitions
which they were entertaining and at
tempting to realize had led to the
practices which shocked our hearts
as much as they offended our prin-
ciples.
"Our resolution was formed be-
cause we knew how profoundly great
principles of right were affected, but
our hearts moved also with our reso-

when I have spoken what know

lished our right to the full fellowship
of those peoples here and throughout
the world who reverence the right OF
genuine liberty and justice.
"You have made me feel very much
at home here. not merely by the de-
lightful warmth of your welcome. but
also by the manner in which you
have made me realize to the utmost
