to keep alive the spirit Of liberty
among our soldiers and sailors on for
eign shores during the long days when
our forces we're battling overseas.
The women Of Tennessee have won
the undying love Of the thousands
who have received aid and encourage
ment from them, and their names
shah ever be enshrined in the hearts
Of Tennesseans, along with the names
Of those others who they sent forth
to battle, and who also laid all that
they had upon the affairs Of liberty.
Resolved, by the General Assembly
Of the State of Tennessee, the SEN
ate and House concurring herein, That
we, representatives Of the people of
Tennessee, the Volunteer State, here
by pledge our loyalty and faith to
Woodrow Wilson, president Of the
United States, in HIS work for peace
which shall include the whole world.
Resolved, that we express our I'M
bounded admiration for the exalted
craftsmanship which has enabled him
to bring the United States to our pres
ent position Of worldwide prestige
and power for the liberty Of the world
and the rights Of mankind; for al
craftsmanship recognized by the
greatest minds in every nation; for
leadership acknowledged by the great
leaders of world thought.
AS Tennesseans we are proud that
he claims the birthright of a soutn-
erner, but as Americans we take still
more pride in the knowledge that
President Wilson cannot be claimed
alone by the south, or by the United
States Of America, but that he is now
acclaimed as one Of those few of the
great men who may be claimed by the
entire world, which has benefited
from his broad-minded activities, and |

peace policies shall be adopted as the |
peace pledges of all the nations
