st. Louis. Sept. 5.-Following is
the text OF the Presidents address
| have sometimes heard gentle
men discussing the questions that
are now before us with a distinc-
tion drawn between nationalism
and internationalism in these mat
ters. 1t is very difficult for me TO
follow their distinction. The great
est nationalist is the man who
wants his nation to be the greatest
nation. and the greatest patton is
the nation which penetrates to the
heart of its beauty and admission
among the nations of the world.
with every fash of insight into
the great politics OF mankind the
nation that has that vision is
lifted up to a place OF influence
and power which IL cannot get by
armies; which ii cannot get by
commercial rivalry, which it can
get by no other way than that
spiritual leadership which comes
from a profound understanding of
the problems Of humanity.
1t is in the light OF ideas of this
sort that I conceive 1t a privilege to
discuss the matters that I have
come away from Washington TO
discuss. have come away from
Washington to discuss them because
apparently. it IS difficult-to discuss
them in Washington.
The whole subject is surrounded
with mlsts which it is dificult to
penetrate.
I brought home with me from the
other side OF the water a great docu-
ment. a great human document, but
after you hear 1t talked about in
Washington for a while you think It
has just about three or four clauses
In It. You fancy that it has a certain
Article X. in It. that It has something
about Shantung in it: that II has
something about the Monroe Doctrine
in 1t; that 1t has something about
quitting, Withdrawing from the league.

the game; and I don't hear about
anything else IN IL.

DENY NO EFFORT
TO SAVE VICTIM
Golatta's Brother Assured
The Drowning Could Not
Have Been Prevented.

Daniel Golata, who came tc
Washington from New York to in
vestigate the drowning of his broth
er. Joseph Golatta, at Colonial Beach
last Sunday. was assured yesterday
that everything possible had been
done to save his brothers life. =
Reports had been circulated that
Golatta. who was a tailor here. had
been allowed to die without effort
to save him. 1t had been reported
that he fell from the gangplank OF
the steamer E. Madison Hall.
These facts were proved false in
an investigation conducted jointly
by the dead mans brother and the
officials Of the Washington Steam
boat Company.
Charles Hertz. general manager OF
the company, dived into the darkened
water about the pier along with
practically every member Of the
crew in an effort to save Golatta.

mere details and incidents of q great
human enterprise, and have sought
the privilege of telling you what
conceive that humane enterprise
War Was Designed.
The war that has tust been finished
was no accident. Amy man who las
followed the politics of the world
UP to the critical break must have
known that that was the logical out
come OF the processes that have pre-
ceded 1t; must have known that the
nations OF the world were prepar-
ing for that very thing and were
expecting II.
One Of the most interesting things
tiat realized after I got to the
other side of the water was that the
mental attitude of the French peo-
pie with regard to the settlement OF
the war was largely determined by
the fact that for nearly fifty years
they had expected 1t: that for nearly
forty years they had dreaded by the
exercise of German force the very
thing that had happened. and their
constant theme was:
We must devise means by which
this undesirable fear will be lifted
from our hearts. We.cannot, we will
not live another fifty years under the
cloud Of that terror"
The terror had been there all the
time and the war was its consum-
nation, and it had been expected be-
cause the politics of Europe were
based upon definite conception;
that conception was that the strong
had all the rights and that all that
the weak could enjoy was what the
strong would permit them to enjoy;
that no nation had any right that
could not be asserted by the exercise
of force. and that the real politics Of
Europe consisted in determining how
many Of the weak elements in the
European combination of families and
nations should be under the influence
and control Of one set of nations;
how many of those elements should
be under the influence and control Of
another set OF nations.

SOLVE CROWDED
SCHOOLS-HALF
DAY SCHEDULES
Mt. Pleasant and Southeast
Grade Pupils to Begin
Under Handicaps..

Washington school children living
In the Mount Pleasant district and
in the Southeast, near the Navy
Yard, will receive their schooling 9
this winter under a handicap which
the Board Of Education is endeavor-
ing to mitigate as much as possible.
Stephen E. Kramer, assistant
superintendent Of schools, made this
announcement yesterday in a review
OF the difficulties which the school
board will have to Offset before
crowded conditions certain to pre-
vail can be cut down to normal.
Pupils in the third, fourth and
NTH grades. as well as the first ano
second, will be assigned to halliday
classes in several sections OF the
District" Mr.. Kramer continued.
Il do not expect pupils in the
sixth, seventh and eighth grades
will have to put up with halliday
classes.
According to our present arrange
ments, in order that the teacher
would get in her regular amount Of
working time, she would give an hour
each day to the coaching of back
ward pupils.
'Of course we anticipate trouble in
securing enough teachers, especially
IN the face Of the halliday classes,
which will call for two teachers where
one did the work before, but there is
no doubt but what we will have a
full roster when we open the school
doors this month"
Mr.. Kramer announces that the
morning classes would be in session
from until 12:3O and the afternoon
from I until 40.
When the wheels begin to work
more smoothly after January l. Mr.,
KrNmer says he expects that seventy
five portable schools will be in use.
Twenty of these schols are not yet un-
der construction.
The plan OF halliday classes is not
satisfactory to the Board of Education,
but it is the best they can do under
the present temporary circum-
stances.
1t is the belief OF the school officials
that a great portion of the war in
f1uX, especially those families with
small children, have located in the
Capital permanently and that 1t is up
to them to adjust themselves to this
circumstance.
