For Future World Peace.

TN the interest Of the future peace
Of America and Of the world it is in
cumbent upon us to give the Germans
such complete licking that Germany
or any other nation will never force
us into another fight.
I'VE are proud today that we are
not fighting to bring new territory
under our flag. nor seeking to secure
new trade rights for ourselves. nor
striving to force any people to adopt
our theories of government. We are
fighting solely and always for the
right of every nation, large or small.
wherever it may be located. to live
under its own flag. maintain it's own
institutions and conduct it's own gov
ernmental activities In accordance
with its own ideals. and to do these
things, too. without the interference
Of any other power on the face of the
earth.
'Thus does the nation go forward
along the ways blazed by the Grand
Army of the Republic. We are glad
you could live to see such fruits Of
your struggles"
