Vice President
Gives Address
at Home City

COLUMBIA CITY, Ind, May 81
1T is costing a great deal OF blood
and sorrow and treasure to bring to
America real Memorial day" said
Vice President Marshall in opening
his Memorial day address at his old
home here Thursday afternoon.
Continuing the vice president said:
THE republic was slow 10 learn
and quick TO forget. For many years
past on this sacred day of the repub-
lie my heart has been saddened with
the thought that the American peo-
pie preferred a horse race or a base
ball game tc a service in memory
of the soldiers who saved America
for them Thank God we are today
having a real Memorial service,
where we are lifting our hearts TO
God in love and commemoration for
the departed dead and for the sacred
living.
I'VE could mot have prevented
this war ! shall not speak of pure
~ international relations that jus
titled and demanded this war ]
speak rather of the motives the
drove you men into conflict. There
are certain things that cannot be
settled by treaties Of peace and
courts Of arbitration The idea OF
the imperial German government is
that force is the only thing that
counts in the relations Of our people
one 10 another.
while I am not running this
var-if I were-tPe only treaty OF
peace would make would be made
when the last gun and the last can
non was laid down within the allied
ranks
y hope for the time when the
mountain Of the Lords house shall
be esta bHshed in the top of the
mountain / hope for the time when
the mothers of the land will teach
their children not 10 worship and
adore and seek after a military ca
reer. but rather Will teach them 10
worship the 50 who have administer
ed 20 the salvation of human life;
but hat II ne is not here. and, if you
expect it 10 come. you must stamp
out from he face OF the earth the
