B%urnquist's Speech.
"You," he said. "have fought in the
greatest war in history, a way in which
more than 10000. 900 men lost their
$4,000, 900 casualties. and which cost
the nations involved more than $50
billions of dollars. You have fought
for as great principles as any for
which men ever. fought, the princi-
pies that we ought to have a world in
which all nations, regardless Of their
size, shall be protected and be secure
in their rights, hat violations Of in
ternatonal law cannot go unpublished.
and that the use of force for conquest
cannot be tolerated. The modern CIV
llization shaped in the ideals of the
forts and those who fought with you,
has been victorious. and the victory
won is the greatest victory that man.
kind has eve achieved.
The result is going to be the bring
ing of nations closer together, the at
tempt on the part Of all civilized and
democratic nations to maintain in or
der among the different peoples of
the earth and an experiment which
Will establish the time when disputes
shall be settled in courts of justice
instead of on the fields of battle.
you who have shown such loyalty
and patriotism during the struggle
must not decrease your efforts for a.
better America and a better world
because the war is over. We still have
many problems to settle. Just as ma
tons will be brought closer together
SO must labor and capital be brought
more together. The safest manner in
which to maintain peace among our
selves and all peoples is to PRACTICE
justice. There must be no unfair dis
elimination against any nationality or
class within our borders. Here where
SO many people of such divers nation
alities and races and religions live, we
be ~escepially careful to secure a
proper spirit Of cooperation. All must
be made to feel that they are a part
treatment. The boys who have fought
for justice n brotherhood abroad
must continue their fight to maintain
the fundamental principles of the
American republic at home. This we
know they will do. ever striving for,
the Augmentation of those who
came from abroad and also those who
live here in order that we may show to
all nations a republic of happy people
and one which will make it clear to
the world that it is possible for people
of different races, colors. nationalities,
creeds and vacations to live together
in peace. harmony and prosperity"
Burnquist left the city at $50 for
Grand Forks, there to take a train for
Great Falls, Montana, where he will
make an Independence day address.
One of the bright features of the
days entertainment was the concert
by the Gopher Gunner band, which
played itself to fame in France as
part Of the Rainbow division. Lieu
tenant Michael Jalma, conductor,
has brought out the full possibilities
of band music. The program was
bright n varied. with the musicians
in full harmony. Several soldier
soloists. all with exceptional voices,
gave one or two numbers each.
Preceding the concert, two four
round boxing bouts were staged. In
the first, Bobby Ward, proved a little
cleverer than Jack Burke. Neither
boxer extended himself, and both
were inclined to loaf. The second
match, between Saph McKenna and
Billy Whelan, was much more
spirited. and while no hard blows
were landed, there was action every
second, and much cleverness was dis
played. All four boxers are from St.
Paul, and all have been in the serv-
ice, Ward putting in 10 months in
France with The 91st division. Chas.
Gies, of Crookston, refereed.
While the roads were too muddy to
allow autos to come in. all trains into
the city were crowded. The rain
stopped early in the morning, and the
day vas bright till after six O'clock.
Flags of the allies were strung owe
the main streets and many private
concerns were gaily decorated.
The street dance was cancelled, and
a hop at the armory was substituted
