TELLS WHY U. S. NATION
WAS IN WORLD CONFLICT
Secretary Daniels Says Purpose
Was to Make It "War
Against War"

FORT WAYNE, Ind. July 5.-.Secre-
tary Daniels. speaking at an Independ-
ence day celebration here yesterday. de-
clared nation could no more withdraw
into its shell and permit the fires OF
bolshevism or anarchy to destroy the
world than a man could think of his own
safety as he heard the cries of children
in burning building across the street
I'VE entered this war highly re-
solved" he said, mot to cease until we
not only had won victory, but until we
truly made this a war against war"
The nation realized, Mr.. Daniels said
that the challenge of peace was as i'm
perative as was the challenge of war;
the nation had only one mind. We
shall meet the perils of peace with equal
confidence and equal" courage"
In this hour of; triumph, the Secre.
tary said, "our- minds are still exult-
ing over the dazzling position we
leaders Of the world and the ac-
knowledeed counselor of the ancient
governments Of the old world" There
were SOLDERING responsibilities which
went with the new position, he added
and no better time to consider them
eff we would stliI lead TO new. and
greater victories" Mr.. Daniels de-
elared: IF we would still stride at
the forefront Of the worlds great
march. If we would still be the wise
and right counselor of nations, we
must 60 forward, not like some mon
strous Won Hindenburg, armed to the
teeth. crushing remorselessly friend
and foe alike beneath his feet, but
more. and 1 say 1t in all reverence, al
Christ Himself went forward. strong
but not gi4 oss s, IN our strength
fortunate, but relentless toward all
evil. Let us learn from the awful les
son of. this war the irresistible ad-
vantage of united effort. Let us learn
by analysis why we won In war and
how to win in peace"
