ton. The immediate need OF this coun-
try and the world Is peace. not >only
a settled peace but peace upon definite
and well understood foundations sup
ported by such covenants as men can
depend upon. supported by such pur-
poses as will permit of . concert of &C =
ton throughout the free peoples of the
world.
IT don't believe that we even now
stop to consider how remarkable the
peace conference In Paris has been. Il
is the first great International confer
ence which did not meet to consider
the interests and advantages of the
strong nations. The heart Of this treaty
10 that it gives liberty and independence.
to people who never could have got It
for themselves.
you have only to take the formulas
of the war in order to see what was the
matter. The formula of Pan-German-
ism was Bremen to Baedad.
Germany was looking for the line of
least resistance 20 esta blish her power;
and unless. gentlemen. the world makes
that line of absolute resistance, thi )
war will have to be fought over.
"You must settle the differences
which gave occasion to the war or yo
must expect war again.
Il was glad. after I inaugrated it,
that ] drew together the. little body
that was called the Big Four II
was a very simple council Of friends
The intimacies of this little commits
sion were for the whole peace con-
ference and there were the intiua
cies Of men who believed the same
things and thought the same
thoughts.
"Now the peace Of the world is
absolutely indispensable to US. and
Immediately indispensable to US
There is not single democratic
trouble that can be worked out in
the right temper or OPPORTUNITY and
in time, unless We have conditions
that We can count on.
I'VE can not arrange a single
element of our business. unless we
have settled peace. and know whetfl-
er we are going to deal with friend
ly world or an unfriendly world.
'Tn an open market mems minds
must be open. It has been said so
often that 1t is a very trite saying.
but 1t remains, nevertheless. true,
that a financial panic Is mere
state Of mind.
"But while the whole world is in
doubt what to expect, the whole
world is under apprehension that is
characteristic of a panic.
II want to remind you how the
pernanency OF peace Is at the heart
Of this treaty. This is not merely a
treaty of peace with Germany, 1t is
nothing less than a world settlement
and at the center Of it stands this
covenant for the future which we
call the covenant Of the League Of
Nations. The covenant of the
League of Nations is the instrument

Recruiting Office Ready to
Make Copies Of Discharges

The Army recruiting office, 325
Market street. to-day received a
SIMPLY of blank discharges which
will enable it to make certified copies
for soldiers who are submitting their
applications for the $50 bonus that is
paid to officers and soldiers dis
charged since April 6, 1917. All
the necessary clerical labor can be
performed at the recruiting office
and the letter of transmittal accom-
panying the discharges can be pre-
pared there. Payments made by
the zone finance officer, Washington.
on original discharge certificates
will necessarily take time on account
of the great number V claims to
be paid. Claims for settlements on
certified copies of discharges will
take somewhat longer time. Checks
will be sent out by the zone finance
officer in the order in which the dis
charge certificates are received. Of
course followup letters cannot hasten
the payments, but on contrary SIM
ply take the time of clerks who
would otherwise be busy in writ
ing checks. Colonel Kemper, the re-
cruiting officer. and his assistants
will be glad to furnish any infor-
nation about bonuses to discharged
officers and soldiers.
