cause they are beginning tn perceive tO be that nations have stood singly, or in little jealous groups. against each other; fostering prejudice. increasing the danger Of war. rather than con
 certing measures to prevent it; and . that if there is right in the world, If there is justice in the world. there is
 no reason why nations should be di- ] vided in the support of justice.
 "They are. therefore saying, if you really believe that there is a right; if you really believe that wars ought to
 be stopped. stop thinking about the rival interests of nations and think about men and women and children. throughout the world. Nations are not made to afford distinction to their rulers, by way of ! success in the maneuvcrs of politics; nations are meant. if they are meant
 for anything to make the men and
 women and children in them secure
 and happy and prosperous, and no na-
 ton has the right to set up special
 interests against the interests and
 benefits of mankind; least of all this
 great nation which we love.
 "lt was set up for the benefit of
 mankind: 1t was set up to illustrate
 the highest ideals. and to achieve the ! highest aspirations of men who wanted to be free: and the world-the world
 of today. believes that and counts on

 blackness of despair if We desert it.
 Thought Overcrowds Speech
 'I have tried once and again, my
 fellow citizens to say 10 little circles b of friends or Co larger bodies. what
 seems to be the real hope of the peo-
 fta..v l1N
 have not been able to do so. because.
 when the thought tries 10 crowd itself
 into speech. the profound emotion Of
 the thing is too much: speech will not carry. | have felt the tragedy of the . hope of those suffering people.
 'lt is tragedy. because it is hope
 which cannot be realized in its per . lection, and yet | have felt beside it's
 tragedy. it's compulsiOn: its compul-
 sion upon every living man to ex-
 ercise every influence that he has to
 the utmost. to see that as little as , possible Of that hope is disappointed; 1; because, if men cannot now. after this agony Of bloody sweat come To their self possession and see how to regu- , late Inc affairs of the world. We will - sink back into period of struggle f in which there will be no hope, and { therefore no mercy. There can be nd , mercy where there is no hope: for ! why should you spare another. if you, q yovrSelf, expect to perish? Why should you be pitiful. if You can get no pity ,. J Why should you be just if. upon every [ hand. you are put upon?
 Q There is another thing which t think the critics of this covenant have f not observed. They not only hay, - rot observed the temper of those
 splendid boys in khaki that they sent $ across the seas. l have had the proud t ! consciousness of the reflected glory Q uf those boys. because the constitu- 2 ton made me their comma nder in e chief. and they have taught me omt | lessons When We went into this war
 we went into it on the basis of dec n larations which it was my privilege {, utter. because | believed them to b' Q on interpretation Of the purpose ane u thought of the people of the United q States.
 Eulogizes Khaki Boys
 . And those boys went over ther, S with the feeling that they were sacred :, ly bound 10 the realization of thos, ' ideals: that they were not only goln, T., over there to beat Germany: they wer, u not going over there merely with re sentiment in their hearts against D' particular outlaw nation: but that the, 'u were crossing those 5000 miles of SCI le in order to show to Europe that tn it United States. when il became neces c sary would go anywhere, where tn
 rights of mankind were threatened.
 They would not sit still in tn if trenches They would not he restraine n, by the prudence of experienced con .,. tinental commanders. They though u, U, they had come over there to do a par ", ticular thing. and they were going t iN do it. and do it at once. And just d a soon ss that rush Of spirit. as well a " rush Of body. came in contact with th su lines of the enemy. they began { lh break and they continued tO break nm II til the end.
 h. They continued to break my fellol nt citizens. not merely because of tn in prysical force of those lusty young n- sters but because of the irresistibl us spiritusl force Of the armies of th
 United States. It was that they fel s. IL was that that awed them It ws he that that made them feel if thes ,is youngsters ever got a foothold, the cil could never he dislogded and therefor at every foot Of ground that they wo' se was permanently won for the liberty no mankind.
 as And do you suppose that having fe ,se that crusading spirit of these young nm sters who went over there, not to glt ,lo rify America but to serve their fello
 men. l am going to permit myself. f. o,, one moment. to saCken in my effo ,o, tO be worthy of them and their cause ~ What said at the opening. I said vii n, a deeper meaning than perhaps yC , have caught, do mean not to con n back until it's over over there and lu' must not he over until the nations is the world are assured Of the permi hI nency of peace.
 Other Side Has Charged inc Gentlemen on this side of the wat ,an would be very much profited by ge ,r ting into communication with sor m gentlemen on the other side of the VI ,, ter. We sometimes think. my fellC
