Wilson Is Ready to Grapple With
Opponents of League of
Nations Plan.
HAS FIGHTING BLOOD
Chief Executive In Address at Boston
Throws Down Gauntlet to Those
Who Distrust Proposed Con-
cert of Governments.

Boston, Feb. 25.-President Wilson
intends to fight at home as he has
battled abroad for league of nations
Returning from France, he had been
on American soil not more than three
hours before he threw down the
gauntlet to those who distrust the pro-
posed concert Of governments, based,
he said, on the American ideals which
had won the war for justice and hu-
manity.
An America combining to her own
territory her own conception and pur-
pose to make men free, he said, would
be merely keeping her power for
those narrow, selfish, provincial pur-
poses which seem so dear to some
minds that have no sweep beyond
their nearest horizon"
Americas New Purpose.
Before a responsive audience that
filed the biggest auditorium in the
city, the President pictured the old
world fighting with stubborn despera-
ton and expecting in the end nothing
better for the peoples than they had
known for centuries.
The President pictured the Ameri-
can nation entering the lists with
new purpose,-the freedom of man.
kind. The old world had caught the
vision and any treaty of peace drawn
otherwise than in the new spirit would
be nothing more, he asserted, than a
modern scrap of paper" and the
present peace, unless guaranteed by
the united force Of the civilized world,
could not stand generation.
Bending over the speakers table,
his face set in tense lines and his
right hand clenched, the President ex-
claimed:
"Any man who thinks that America
will take part in giving the world any
such rebuff and disappointment as
that, does not know Amesica. I in
vite him to test the sentiment Of the
nation"
He Is Ready to Fight.
Interrupted by applause, the Presi-
dent halted and then evoked the great
est demonstration of the afternoon
when he added that he would accept
no sweeter challenge than the issue
of the American purpose in the war
Il have fighting blood in me-" he
said, with apparent feeling, and it
is sometimes delight to let it have
scope, but if it is a challenge on this
occasion it will be an indulgence"
At another point in his address the
President said that if the great hope
Of the world for league of nations
was disappointed, he would wish "for
my part, never to have had America
play any part whatever in this at
tempt to emancipate the world
have no more doubt of the verdict of
America in this matter than / have
doubt of the blood that is in me-"

Just about two years ago we began

approval 81 the people. Should France
attempt to introduce her nonreligious
school system delicate situation would
certainly arise which might easily
shake to the foundation the. firm faith
and love which Alsatians now have for
the mother country. Just what form
of government win be adopted for Al
sace.Lorraine has not been decided
upon. but It Is probable that the prov
inces will be administered as separate
provinces rather than integral depart
ments of the French republic. Should
this system be adopted It would offer q
graceful solution of the religious prob
lem by giving Alsace a free hand In
this matter.
But France has a way Of absorbing
other peoples which is remarkable
when YOU examine her history and In
her original way It Is not overoptimis-
tic to predict that within few years
the Alsatians and L0rrainers will have
become quite French under the moth
er country's Jurisdiction. The Alsatians
and Lorrainers win enjoy the little
personal liberties which were denied
them under the administration Of the
Germans. Now that the numerous
"yerboten" signs have disappeared and
the German command has given way to
the easy request Of the French, the
Alsatians will not be long in being
once more completely united with
France. - Fl
