Soul That Is Truly Great.

Emerson, that greatest of modern
philosophers, has told us that 1t is
easy when in crowd to ALLOW our
selves to be swayed BY the opinions
about us and comparatively ensy to
keep our individuality and sweetness
when alone. but that the great soul
is he who in the midst Of mass Of
other individuals can still keep the
poise and sweetness of solitude.

~ some mistakes have been made III
our preparations during the first year
Of the war. But, taking a broad view
considering the mistakes in their re-
latioa to the achievements OF the first

In my Judgment. the United States
has done more in the first year OF the
war than any nation has ever before
achieved in so short q space OF time
in the history OF the world Congress
must, in a measure. be credited for our
showing. for without the cooperation

Reading in the light of this utterance
it is inconceivabe that the President is
in peril Of being mircd in the German
peace trap--if it is trap as the world
has supposed. With those powerfully
analytical sentences in mind it is un-
thinkable that he will consent to the
opening of a peace conference while the
German spokesmen are still the unre-
generate tools Of an accursed dynasty.
