 Que would think that they had never perceived the prodigious changes in the civilized world since Washington used the phrase "entangiing alliances" that they had not felt the exaitation of the American spirit when the people went to war with Germany to protect the free nations from the Prussian autocracy, to defend the weaker nations against the stronger. to make right triumph over wrong, and to make impossible in the future such war as Germany was waging upon the freer nations of Europe.
