WASHINGTON, June 15.--Striking

the things the telegraph operators have

PROVIDENCE, X. l., June 1.-THE BAG
calaureate service at Brown University
was held to-day In memory OF the forty
two students and alumni OF Brown who
gave their lives for their country in the
great war. President w. y. p. Faunce
delivered the bacoaiaureste address, and
the other speakers were Charles E..
Hughes. IT., of New York: Henry r.
Palmer Of Stonington, Conn, and Will
lam II. Edwards OF this city. How men
fight who do not want to fight yet Gee
their duty clearly was the topic OF Or.
Faunee's address. He said:
We thank God that the message OF
their lives now stands out sharp and
clear. Had they stayed with US they
might have nesded q quarter of a CEN
fury to express themselves In prc1aic
action. Now in one single encounter
with the forces OF evil they have ut
tered their message 30 that the world
mas heard IL and must remember 1t.
Their life was gloriously simpliied
when they had only to do and die. They
suddenly found the key which unlocks
all doors-the linfitless allegiance TO an
ideal. the glad surrender of all posses
sions, even ohe'shown body, that the life
OF the nation and-the ideals OF humanity
may endure. Al, the inner summons
work and play alike were put aside.
llOTle ana IdHlllS, TeCeueu IN the distance,
profit and loss. were forgotten, and in
losing their lives they found them. We
can hardly view that swift solution OF
life's problems without n touch OF envy
For us the battle still goes on: for US
the world is still swept with confused
alarms OF struggle and flight but they
emerged from all confusion by one great
J dedication they harmonized all obliga-
lions in a single respondent surrender.
Our comrades accepted a hard duty
because they saw II clearly. They did
not want to fight therefore they made
good fghters The soldier most TO bs
feared is converted soldier, like Ser
geant York. Plato says the governors
OF a state should be chosen from the
men who do not wish 10 govern. There
Is a sense IN which n man does his best
work when he works against the grain,
compelled by conscience TO do the thing
he hates Our comrades hated mill
tarism. and our country hates IT to-day
far more than in 1914. Our comrades
went forth to do the thing they hated
because of deviation to the thing they
loved-their country ana its ideals. They
never dreamed OF sheltering themselves
behind the thought that one single SOL
dier could make no difference in the
final result. That every one of us must
stand and be counted, stand erect and
undaunted through all the changing
years-stand fearlessly for the creatissi
of the new world that Is to be-that Is
the message that dropped from the
hands of our comrades as they fell"
