stood out against efforts to try VIII

law under which this could be done.
Japan supported Lansing, and the

several weeks.
The attitude OF the japanese, how
ever, was based on their belief that
individual punishment of the former
Kaiser would violate the precedent
under which their own Emperor is
held to be infallibIe because Of the
divine right" The present plan Is
regarded as at least partially meeting
Japan's objections, since Wilhelm

dollars to the last four loans, and
am sure it will do its share now.
Miss Burke, who also was received
enthusiastically said:
when so many million men and
women during the past four faithful
years have been doing such mighty
deeds for the liberation of mankind,
finally ending in supreme victory for
our own and our allied nations, mere
words at this time seem woefully
inadequate.
Il am sure that you will agree with
me though, that the part that Amer
lea has played has been due to a
'considerableN degree to, the wonderful
leadership of our great President and
our great generals and admirals, but
it has been due more than everything
else to the wonderful spirit which
has lead our men and women in serv-
tee at home a abroad in the fight
for liberty. On the theory, therefore,
that words must precede the desire
for action, 1 am going to add my
womanly appeal to the other great
sentiments. expressed that everyone
in this great gathering, as well as
everyone in our wonderful United
States, should not fail to send the
Victory loan over the top.
- - q Aul luln. LhdI ItlG
great events OF the past few years
have brought US all so closely to-
gether and no one more than I, who
has been before the public in a ca
pacity other than political, so deeply
appreciates this opportunity to speak
to you face to face and heart to
heart.
We know that Victory bonds are
secure-our wonderful sailors and
soldiers and marines have made them
so. We know that nothing is more
precious to us than the realization
that the millions who were brave
enough to go overseas are now COM
ing home triumphant.
And 1 have only one more thing
to add and that is that none OF US can
look for a GTander receipt for our pUI'-
chase of a Victory bond than the
beautiful smile of the soldier and
sailor we meet on the street who can
look US in the face and say, 4 couldn't
have done it If you hadn't helped
