yet refuse treat with their conqueors Ask the Belgian
have been visited every conceivable form Of horror order
force surrender yet who have had thought Of subms
Ask the Fenchen who have their faces like fling against
INVASION and prefer determination to surrender Ask the sgners
of Declaration of independence who the maintenance
Of the principles Of liberty pledged their lives their fortunes and
their sacred honor Ask those who fought to free the slaves and
those who rescued bleeding Cuba from the oppresor and finally
ask judgment and conscience and will let answer
that question be the guide how long America will fight
the present struggle In the words of President 1T is
cessation of desire it is stable and enduring
This agony be gone through with again peace which
would merely allow time for gathering Of to
conflict would be almost great calamity submitting
oppression We must stand to task until is finished
