SAYS PEOPLES
s ARENSADDLE
President Declares the Stand
"Tds of Old Order Can
not Return
By Associated Press.

Washington, May 81. - President
Wilson, in an address yesterday at
the graves of the American dead in
Suresnes Cemetery. near Paris, said
ene League of Nations was the cove
>'ant of governments that the mil
1ons who fell in the war shall not
have died in vain and added that he
- looked for the time when every man
who new opposes the League would
be just as ashamed of it as he now
regretted the union of the states af-
ter the Civil War
Declaring that the standards of
an older order are trying to assert
themselves again. the President said
those who sought to accomplish the
return to ''an order of which We
are ashamed" must realize that they
cannot scceed because the peoples
of the world are in the saddle" and
private counsels of statesmen can
act now and cannot hereafter deter
mine the destines of nations
After paying tribute to the Amer
lcaIf dead. the President declared it
would be no profit to eulogize the
brave men who fell in the war unless
the lessons they taught were taken
TO heart. The American soldiers. he
said, did not cross the seas merely
TO defeat Germany: they came to de-
feat forever the things for which
the Central powers stood and to see
to it that there should never be a
war like this again.
1T is for us, particularly for us
who are civilized" said Mr.. Will
son, Ito use our proper weapons of
Counsel and agreement to see to it
that there never is such a war again.
The nation that would now fling out
of this common concord of counsel
would betray the human race.
80 it is our duty to take and
maintain the safeguards which will
see to it that the mothers of Amer
ica and the mothers of France and
England and Italy and Belgium and
all other suffering nations shall never
be called upon for this sacrifice
again.
This can be done. 1t must be
done. And it will be done"
