 We.now, the heirs of all the ages, and in the foremost files of times, find it great prvi- lege and honor to carry forward that banner, and to place it secure, not the banner of this country or of that country, but as the ban of humanity, with peace and liberty to all.
 We doing more tonight than paying tri- bute We here to make pledge. We make pledge to the people of France. We make our pledge, and it is the pledge of people able to redeem it. We make pledge that France shall be restored, her beautiful territory regarnished that she shall be re- newed in all her strength. We make pledge that Asace Lorraine shall be returned.
 'I reread the historic words of President in his address with respect to the aims of our people in this struggle He said: All French territory should be free and the invaded portions sia in 1871 in the matter of Alsace- Lorraine, which has unsettled the peace of the world for fifty years, shall be righted in order that peace may once be made in the interests of all
 "In that admirable statement the President voiced the sentiment of liberty loving America, the sentiment of the ancient friends of France, the sentiment that in the hour of triumph the nation which has borne the most shall receive the just recompense of her sacrifice in return, not to enrich her the wrong of another, but in a just and right to settle endur- ing peace

BAG LOADING PLANT
TO CONTINUE WORK

Work 1T the Seven Pines bag load
Ing plant will continue without inter-
ruption. 1t was announced last night
following the receipt Of ofYfcial in
structions from Washington. This
ends a period Of uncertainty and sus-
pense which has manifested itself
since the signing Of the armistice.
Members Of the Women's Munition
Reserve. who are in active service ut
Seven Pines, have been visibly uneasy
over the future Of the plant and the
definite announcement from the ma
tional capital was almost AZ welcome
as was the news that peace had re-
turned.
Not only must the production at
the government plant continue and
operations 70 ahead at fun speed. but
deficiency in oukgut must be made up.
according to the Washington order.
The need for production, 1t was said.
is still imperative, and the big plant
to the east Of the city will continue
to turn out its daily quota Of propel-
liant charges for American artillery
the same as before the hating Of hos
tilities on the battleneIds Of France.
Women and girls who felt that their
patriotic service was at an end vera
tubilant when 1t became known that
Uncle Sam still had need for their
help. and, 1t is confidently believed.
there will be no let up on their part.
However. only a few Of the NUM-
tioneers stopped their loyal labor, all
eagerly awaiting something definite A
to future plans. With the receipt OF
these instructions II means that the
w. M. r. girls win continue their
work without interruption.
-
thorities is taken to mean that Uncle
Sam IL taking no chances with Prus-
sian duplicity; he Is prepared on land
and sea, at home and abroad, to meet
any German tricks and TO take care
of any eventuality.
