LIFE Is But STRUGGLE
FROM START TO CLOSE
Life IS battle said Or. Mcdaniel
in the open.a: sentence Of his memo
nal ADDRESS we inst.nc.:vclv feel
Lnai ]; Is real combat in which the
universe gains UNNECESSARILY by the
triumph q right.
From Tuba!-Cain TO Du POM, from
Joshua TO Foch. from righteous Abel
70 The young men whose memory We
honor 'ona!. me story is one OF
SITugG!e--for the individual and the
lace. Glory Is not TO be purchased
nu: by blood. Less than $50 years OF
peace have been allotted 10 the total
past history OF man. War has been
the rule; peace. the exception. :.
WHAT manner OF men were they-tnese
soldiers Of ours? How do they rank
among the soldiers OF earth? Peric!es'
characterization OF the .Aihenians is
equally appropriate 10 Inc Americans:
We trus, not so much 10 pre- parations
and stratagems 10 our own valor
for daring deeds
BY so much as this war trans
cended every other declared Or. Nc
Daniel by just 80 much does the
soldiers His dash was the most i'm
petuous, his efforts the most decisive
( MS motive the most altruistic.
German officers have borne wit
$ ness 10 the fact that the Americans
were the hrst TO halt their drives, the
s fisst 10 throw them on the defensive,
the first TO break their historic line.
The first TO keep on comins-talling
B dying. but ever advancing
4 AMERICAN IDEAL H9sE: {,
S1.- LiI<E STAR Is, ALLIED Sk>
The American ideal rose like a star
= III the somber Sky Of the allies and
the American soldier demonstrated the
possibility of realizing That deal. The
pulse beats faster when we reflect upon
y the deeds OF our men.
Here is something unparalleled in
history" the speaker pointed out far
Their along in his address. The war
s began their ngat big battle--at Mons
< .n919h. 1t ended with the French and
Americans a, Sedan, where the seeds
for this war were sown in 1871. 1t
ended as II did and when il did be-
cause the fresh. dashinG, Irresistible

Europe which turned the tables threw

no rest, dcmoraliZcd his army, dis.
ruptcd his alliance, pierced his vitals
Z and forced the alternative of the cap
B ture OF a million1 men and the in
Vasion of Germany or AN armistice.
