U. S. Can Never Be Crushed.

"These great objects can be put into
a single sentence. What we seek is
the reign of law, based upon the con-
sent of the governed and sustained by
the organized opinion Of mankind.
"These great ends cannot be
achieved fy debating and seeking to
reconcile and accommodate what
statesmen may wish, with their prof.
ects for balances of power and of ma
tional opportunity. They can be
reached only by the determination Of
what the thinking people Of the world
desire with their longing hope for
Justice and for social freedom and Op-
portunity.
"I can fancy that the air of this
place carries the accents Of such prin-
ciples with a prOuder kindness. Here
where started forces which the great
nation against which they were pri-
marily directed at first regarded as a
revolt against It's authority but which
has long since seen to have been a
step in the liberation of its own peO-
pie as we'll as of the people of the
United States-and l stand here now
to speak, speak proudly and with con.
fdent hope-Of the spread of this re-
volt this liberation to the great state
of the world itself. The blinded rul-
ers of Prussia have aroused forces they
knew little Of-forces which, once
aroused, can never be crushed to earth
again-for they have at their heart an
and purpose which are
deathless and Of the very stuff of tri.
umph."

London, Feb. 19.-Renewal Of the
German attack on Great Russia full
flls the expectation widely held here
since Germany consented to negotiate
with the Bolsheviki at Brest -LitOvsk.
The view often has been expressed
that Germany had peace less in mind
than to secure possession of what
was valuable in Russia and that the
BolsheviISi would be maintained only
until the moment she awaited had
arrived.
The manner I'm which Germany
played of the Ukraine against the
BOlsheyilxi is regarded as a charac-
teristic example OF German diplO-
matte traditions. 1t Is felt that the
Ulkrainian call for German help has
been issued at Germany's instigation
TO give her a plausible pretext OF tax
ing advantage Of anarchy there in
order to gain control Of the natural
resources OF the Ukraine.
Doubt Is expressed whether the
move against Dyinsk is merely the
turn OF the screw expected to make
the Bolshevild grant submissively
what Germany wants or win be fol-
lowed by serious military operations.
In any case the action is denounced
as mere sharp practice though Ii
also is regarded as the inevitable
consequence OF the amazing chaos to
which Russia has been reduced
through the lack of a leader strong
enough to guide the revolutionary
outburBt.
