Lesson They Taught Us.

But it would be no profit to us
to eulogize these illustrious dead
if did not take to heart the
lesson which they have taught us.
They are dead; they have done
their utmost to show their devo-
ton to a great cause, and they have
left US to see to 1t that that cause
shall not be betrayed, whether in
war or peace. 1t is our privilege
and our high duty to consecrate
ourselves. afresh on a day like this
to the objects for which they
fought. 1t is not necessary that
! should rehearse to you what these
objects were.
These men did not come across
the sea merely to defeat Germany
and her associated powers In the
war. They came to defeat forever
the things for which the central
powers stood, the sort Of power
they meant to assert in the world,
the arrogant. selfish domination
which they meant to establish; and
they came, moreover. to see to it
that there should never be a war
like this again. 1t is for us, par
ticularly for us who are civilized,
to use our proper weapons Of coun-
sci and agreement to see to it that
there never is such a war again
The nation that should now fling
out of this common concord of
counsel would betray the human
race.

follows:
Mr.. Ambassador. Ladies and Cen
tlemen, Fellow Countrymen: NO
one with a heart in his breast,
no American, no lover of humanity,
can stand in the presence of these
graves without the most profound
emotion These men who lie mere
are men of a unique breed. Their
like has not been since the far days
of crusades.
Never before have men crossed
the seas to a. foreign land to fight
for g. cause of humanity which they
did not pretend was particularly
their own, but knew was the cause
of humanity and of mankind. And
when they came they found COM
rades for their courage and their
devotion. They found armies Of
liberty already in the field-men
who, though they had gone through
three years of fiery trial, seemed
only to be just discovering. not
for a moment losing. the high
temper Of the great affair, men
seasoned in the bloody service of
liberty. Joining hands with these.
the men of America gave. that
greatest of all gifts, the gift of
life and the gift Of spirit.
