President Wilson Addresses
 Many People of Many
 Nations From Tomb of Washington on Fourth
Republican A. p. Leased Wre

WASHINGTON, July 4-From the shadows of Washington's tomb Presi- dent Wilson today offered Americas declaration of independence to the peoples of, the world with a pledge that the United States and its allies will not sheathe the sword in the war against the central powers until there is settled "once for all'' for the world what was settled for America in 1776.
 Foreign born citizens of the United States, B nationalities, who had placed wreaths of palms on the tomb in token of fealty to the principles laid down by the Father of His Country, cried their approval of his words in many lan- guages, and then stood with reverently barred heads while the voice of John Mccormack scared over the hallowed ground in the notes of the Star Span gled Banner"
 Not for Class, But for People
 Washington and his associates, like the barons at Runnymede, spoke and acted. not for a class. but for a peo- ple,' the president said. Tt has been left for us to see to it that it shall be understood that they spoke and acted. not for single people only, but for all mankind.
 There can be but one issue. The settlement must be final. There can be no compromise.
 What we seek is the reign of law, based upon the consent of the gov erned and sustained by the organized opinion of mankind"
 Address Courts Demonstration The speakers crisp words, as he em- phasized the least which America will consider as a basis for peace. were in terrupted by tumult of applause and words of approval. The demonstra- ton swept beyond the wall of khaki | clad marines.
 Elaborating the purposes for which l the associated peoples of the world' are fighting, the president reiterated that peace can be made only when the central powers agree to the destruction of militarism. the consent of the gov erned for all readjustments, the sa : credness of treaties and the organiza . ton of league of peace He further forestalled any offers of peace by com promise, which the central powers may make by announcing that the purposes for which the United States is sending millions of it's men to the trenches may not be fulfilled around a council table,

FOURTH OF JULY SOLEMN DAY FOR
 PHOENIX PEOPLE E
Judge Baker In Splendid
 Grafton Brings Before
 People Full Meaning of Americas Part In War

It was with new significance. a deeper and broader meaning that the people of Phoenix and the valley yes terday celebrated the Fourth of July.
 With the United States engaged with her every ounce of strength in gigantic struggle with a war-mad- : dened military autocracy intent upon world dominition, upon the outcome of which depends the very existence Of decent nations and with one mil lion of her young men already on the battlefields of France prepared to lay down their lives that these nations might endure, Independence day of America dawned as the h. dependence day of the world.
 A Day for Serious Thought
 As the meaning of the day had changed, so had the manner of it's observance. The day dawned strangely quiet. The customary din of exploding power. from the little firecrackers to the giant cannon, was absent. The powder that ordinarily is wasted on this occasion was saved to be burned to a better purpose on the battle front. But few people re- marked on it's absence, so accustomed had they become to conservation that 1t had not occurred to them that powder would be burned in celebrat ing this Fourth of July
 Their Fireworks-Baby Bonds
 Money that might have been spent l in useless powder burned yesterday was invested instead in baby bonds and in war saving stamps, and many a red tag attached to lapel signified that the wearer had celebrated the day by buying an Independence bond Decorated trucks manned by enthusi- astic men and women workers were on the street corners and took ir many a $4.1S.
 The special message of President Wilson approving and urging tha this Fourth of July celebration b, the celebration of the liberty of tn, world taken to heart by the peo pie of Phoenix and this vicinity anC was evident in the parade, in the ex. | ercises at the park and in the spiri l that was manifest in all the larg' | crowd that thronged the streets ant l filled Eastlake park where mos | interesting program was presented and one of the finest addresses eve | heard in Phoenix aroused the mos latent patriotism in the big crowd Parade Of All, Nations
 The parade, which started at Sev enth avenue and Washington stree shortly before Il o'clock, was O unusual interest and it was. in fact an all-nation's parade.

WIFE IF PRESIDENT
 SENDS OUT MESSAGE
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON. July 4.-This Inde- pendence day message was given out to the women of America by Mrs. Woodrow Wilson:
 The greeting which l am glad to send to the women of our beloved country who are playing so large and so noble part in this day of our su- preme test can have but a single thought for it's theme-the thought that is in all our hearts.
 That thought is that we are sus- taining not a government but the very principle of our nations life. The mo- rale of the war is in the thoughts and aspirations and hopes of the. women as well as of the men.
 They stand at the very center of every issue involved, as the men do. and in that sense the war is theirs. It is war for what is humane and right. They can put all that is best of them into the struggle. And they are do- ing so.
 q deeply admire them, and am proud to stand with them. A new glory attaches to the fourth of July because we are striving to make the world free"

PEACE N|BBLES EXCITE GERMAN
 HIGH OFFICIAL
Herr Scheidcmam Denounc- es Rumanian Treaty While
 Social Democratic Leader Calls Out for Revolution
Republican A. P. Leased Wire

AMSTERDAM. July 4.-During the debate in the German reichstag on the Rumanian peace treaty Philipp Schcidemann. the socialist leader, said socialists objected to many stipu- lations of the treaty and reserved their attitude toward it. He asked that the government take the initia- tive in stopping air raids on open towns.
 Reverting to Secretary von Kuehl- mann's speech of June 24, Herr Scheidomann declared that it had created sensation because it "ex- pressed in the form of program what has long been known to be the governments opinion.
 Was Forced to Recant
 Unfortunately" he declared, pr Won kuehlmann was obliged the next day to obliterate the impression caused. His retreat before main head quarters opens up unpleasant vistas Attacking the government for not representing it's views as a whole Herr Scheidemann said:
 We want government which knows, like the army leaders. how to beat it's adversary. To the present government We are unable 10 vote even a budget"
 Calls for Revolution
 George Ledebour. social demo- cratic leader. was called to order by the president of the chamber foI declaring; Tt is the duty of the Ger man proletariat everywhere to issue a summons for a revolution"
 Frciderich von Payer. the imperial vice chancellor. replied to Herr Scheidemann:
 Tt is we'll" he said. that the so- cialst rejection of the budget i. merely demonstration. for if tho other parties acted likewise. tho cause of the fatherland and freedom would not he served"
 Government to Keep Silent
 Herr Scheidemann's reference {, peace. he added, did not call for ( fresh governmental declaration.
 What would result after our pre-. vious experiences? he asked 9Th, usual result is to excite the peopl, and cause a conflict of view in thii country and abroad. One sees. in deed. something that looks like |; Niy spark and that evokes hope O better insight on the part of ou snemies. but it is in general so veal hat the disadvantages abroad risinl HUH SUCH uNtldl dllOls tduuVL Dt OuA weighed by it.
 These disadvantages are that enc ny governments give a false mean hE to our sincerely meant words suggesting they mean we are Hnabl to bring the war to a victorious end.
 Approves of Peace Terms
 He assented to Herr Scheidemann' declaration of the German peac terms-"The conclusion of peace wit honor and without preiudicing Ger many in the terms"-saying the Ger man government had gone beyon 'his formula.
 We must wait until the enemy will to war and will to destructio arc broken" he added. He defende the army command and said:
 In a war of such duration an importance the civil leaders. cannc proceed quite independently of th army leaders-nor vice versa. W cannot dispute the right of the arm leaders if they lead us to victory an peace"
 The government. he declared. woul go its way for that way did not lea to military despotsm nor to a peac of conquest but to a peace of under standing for which the majority the house and the entire governmer was striving.

 from a past which men of liberated spirits could no longer endure. It is for that reason that we cannot feel, even here, in the immediate presence of this sacred tomb, that this is a place of death. It was a place of achievement. A great promise that was meant for all mankind was here given plan and reality. The associations by which we are here surrounded are the in spring associations of that noble death which is only glorious con- summation. From this green hill side we also ought to be able to see with experiencing eyes the world that lies about us and should conceive anew the purposes that must set men free.
 It IS significant-significant of their own character and purposes and of ,he influences they were setting afoot-that Washington and his associates, like the barons of Runnymede, spoke and acted, not for a class of people. It has been left for us to see to 1t that it shall be understood that they spoke and acted, not for single people only but for all mankind. They were thinking, not of themselves and ot the material interests which cen tered in the little group of land holders and merchants and men O. affairs with whom they were accus toned to act. in Virginia and tho colonies to the north and south o- here, but of people which wished to be done with classes and specia interests and the authority of mer whom they had not themselve, chosen to rule over them.
