cial Train, Sept. 10.--To crowd
which surrounded his private car to-
day at Mandan, N. d., President Will

heart of the country had convinced
him that the nation stands together
for an International guarantee Of

real folks" he said, ito feel the touch
of their hands and know as 1 have
come to know. how the nation stands
together in the common purpose TO
complete what the boys did who car
ried their guns with them over the
sea-
I'VE may think that they finished
that lob. but they will tell you they
did not, that unless we see to it that
ueace is made secure they will have
the lob to do over again and we in
the meantime will rest under q con-
stant apprehension that we may nave
to sacrifice the flower of our youth
again.
1t Shall Not Happen.
"The whole country has made up
its mind that that shall not happen
and presently, after reasonable time
is allowed for unnecessary debate, we
will get out of this period of doubt
and unite the whole force and lntlu-
ence of the United States to steady the
world in the lines of peace. And It
will be the proudest thing and the
finest thing that America ever did.
She was born to do these things and
now she is going to do them."

crowd. which included many Indians.
Then a woman called out, where Is
