tidence that his fellow citizens IN the
great majority agree with him In his
desire to end war forever, and that
they will see To II the peace treaty
with its League of Nations inclusion
is ratified by the Senate, President
Wilson is making successful way
across the country on the long Jour
pey he has undertaken for the purpose
of laying before the plain people re-
port OF his work In Paris and explain
ing to them Just what the league
means.
Thus far In his travels he has every
where met with warm greetings, both
in the great halls where he has spoken
formally and In the little cross road
hamlets where his train has halted ut
times and he has exchanged words
with the villagers who pressed forward
TO greet him. He feels and does not
hesitate to say so when chatting with
his travelling companions, that tie
American people want no more of war
and want to become part of the league
so that there may be no more war. He
struck the keynote when he said In his
first address, In Columbus, Ohio:
This treaty was not intended mere
~ to end this single war, ii is meant
rs a notice to every government who
i'm the future will attempt this thing
(what Germany attempted) that man
kind will unite to inflict the same pun
ishment. There is no national triumph
10 he recorded in this treaty. There Is
no glory sought for any particular ma
lion. The thought of the statesmen
collected around that table was of
their people, Of the sufferings they had
gone through, of the losses they had
incurred, Of that great thrObbing heart
Vhich was 81 depressed, so forlorn, so
sad In every memory II had Of the five
tragical years that have gone by. Let
MS never forget those years, my fellow
countrymen; let us never forget the
purpose, high ana disinterested, with
which America lent It's strength, not
for its own glory but for the defense
of mankind.
AS | said, this treaty was not in
tended merely to end this war, II was
intended to prevent any similar war.
| wonder III some OF the opponents of
the League of Nations have forgotten
the promises we made our people he
fore we went to that peace table. We
had taken by processes OF law the
flower of our youth from every cOun-
lryside, from every household, and we
lold those mothers ana fathers and sis
'ers ana wives ana sweelhearts that
we were taxing those men to fight n
war whlch would end business OF that
SORT ana II we DO NOT end II, II we do
not 40 the pest thnt human concert of
action can do to end II, we are OF all
men me most unfaithful-the most IN
laithful TO the loving hearts who suf-
lered IN this war, the most unfalthful
