Arizona republican., 1918-05-13

 said the lieutenant. for your very honor and independence. Once. Il cried over the spiritual blindness of the na- ton. You are about to save your flag which you received at the hands Of your forefathers. so that your children paay sing that this is the land of the free and the home of the brave. You will fight bravely and victoriously and for great principle, that right must combat might, that there is a law for crowned heads and emperors as there is d law for other people. Your flag is to be the emblem of liberty and justice for all the nations of the world. Proud to Die
 This is preached to you in schools, churches and through the press, and any who cannot preach that are not worthy os the confidence of the Amer can nation. I am only a soldier, and l speak for those who can no longer speak. 1 am here to speak for the 1 dead soldier who has paid the extreme l sacrifice for the liberty of the world | More than 100000 little white crosses
 in France mark the graves of those | who are there because they loved | 1 freedom and justice better than life. | If they could come here and face |
 this beautiful audience they would say |
 to you that they were proud to die if |
 they were sure that their supreme of- 1
 fering had not been in vain. They l
 would ask you first of all to become a l
 united nation, for only in unity is !
 there strength. What are you, soldiers |
 of the second line of defense, doing? 1 1 Take lesson from these brave boys
 in the trenches and let there be no differences, no creeds, no parties Thnrn nnn ortty x-tatN tol
 which all must belong as long as the war lasts.
 These boys also send a message of
 self-sacrifice. You have it preached
 1t in all your churches, but you
 haven't practiced it much yet. Are
 you great patriot because you have
 bought one or two Liberty bonds at
 per cent? I don't call that patriotism
 call that an investment. I hear people speaking of their rights of the
 rights of capital and of labor. Where do l hear people speaking. of their duties? The only right the soldier has is his right 10 die for his country, Remember this, boys are going to die over there because of the selflshness
 of folks at home.
 , Victory Certain
 ' Is not every boy who is going over l there to die, not your boy? You must be willing 10 do everything, not just f your bit, but your uttermost as they f are going to do their uttermost This is not war of nations: it is a war Q against a system vr government s against special conception of civil :, lization.
 - The Germans in this country should e be the first to volunteer for they would e be fighting the very things they ran 8 away from Germany vo escape. Some c day the German nation, now the most
 hated nation in the world, will see the : light and will learn the true lessons of t freedom and justice.
 The speaker described the sensation : of going over the top and how the n boys receive the word that it is their y turn the following day.
 e The only loyalty worthy of the ' sacrifice of these boys is whole- e hearted loyalty, and I am asking it in
 the name of 100000 boys over there,
 Victory is absolutely certain. The y world is not going the kaiser's way; d that would be bacIwards-thati is no: is possible. The world is going the way '- of Christ not the kajser's way whic,, m is made in Germany.
 10 T see a vision, said the speaker ,e as he neared the end. T see a vision IS of children in schools. I see then 5s going to their homes and looking into V the eyes of their fathers and grand. pr fathers ana I hear them asking, 'Wha did you do in the great war the teach
 CT tells us about?'
 lg Be very careful that you do not hay, so to tell them that you made a lot 0 IL money during the great war-that yol re coined dollars out of the hearts bioo, ne of the brave boys who died that tn lo world might live. Take care that yo, ur do not have to make that awful ad en mission.
 re Two Capitois
 s- T bring you the love and gratitud ,ir Of the French natior Thot is =. to main message. You no longer hay ,. one capital: you have two. Paris :" also your capital as we'll as Washias U ton. If you were to go to Paris todd n, you would see more American flag iu flying there than you ever saw in ne single city before. The boys who g as over there are going to suffer and di,
 but take the word of a soldier an oy believe that it is sweet to die, IT. The number of American boys wh ne are going to sleep forever over ther 'iu on that side depends on your loyalt
 and support If you forget all else .;. have said today. remember this: .'S you go to France, as hope you vii ns you will see how lovingly the grave a of the American boys are kept by tl at,S French women and girls. how beaut Ni. fully they are guarded. You cannot te ou the grave of French soldier fro,
 that of an American"
