Washington, October 2T.--Preside mt Wilson in an address to a delegation of prologue republicans today at the White House said:
 My Fellow Countrymen: It is to be feared that the supreme issue presented for your consideration Tn the present campaign is growing more obscure many arbitrary turns the discussion of it has taken. The editors and publish CTS of the country would render a great service if they would publish the full text of the covenant of the League of Nations, because having read that text you would be able to judge for your selves great many things in which you are now in danger of being mis- led. I hope sincerely that it will be very widely and generally published entire. 1t is with a desire to reclarify the issues and to assist your judgment, that l take the liberty of stating again the case submitted to you, in as sim pie terms as possible.
 Three years ago it was my duty to summon you to~ths sccpecrt of war, to join the free nations of the world in AAAISsahS anu tltuiHS tuc HlCSl SlnlSleT peril that had ever been developed in the irresponsible politics of the old world Your response to that call real ly settled the fortunes of war Ton will remember that the morale of the German people broke down long before the strength of the German armies was broken. That was obviously because they felt that great moral force which they could not look in the face had come into the contest, and that thenceforth all their professions of right were discredited and they were unable Ito pretend that their continuation of the war was not the support Of a gov ernment that had violated every prin- ciple of right and every considera ton of humanity.
 'It is my privilege to summon
 you now to the concert of peace
 and the completion of the great
 moral achievement on your part
 which the war represented, and in
 the presence of which the world
 found reinsurance. md n recOv-
 cry of force which it could have
 experienced in no other way.
 WHY WE FORGET
 We entered the war, as you remem- Der. not merely to best Germany, but to end the possibility of the renewal of such iniquitous schemes as Germany entertained. The war will have been fought in vain and our immense sacri- fices thrown away unless we complete the work we then began. and I ask you to consider that there is only one way to assure the world of peace:
 "That is by making 1t 50 danger
 ous to break the peace that no
 other nation will have the mudacity
 te attempt 1t. We should not be
 deceived into supposing that iin-
 crfalistfc schemes ended with the
 defeat of Germany, or that Ger
 many Is the only nation that enter
 tained such schemes or was moved
 by sinister ambitions and long
 standing jealOusies to attack the
 very structure of civiIixati There
 are other cations which are likely
 to he powerfully moved or are ale
 ready moved by commercial jeaI-
 ousy. by the desire to dominate,
 and to have their own way fn p0li-
 ties, and in enterprise, and 1t A
 necessary to check them, aHd to
 apprise them that the world will be
 united against them it was
 aguinst Germany if they attempt
 any similar thing.
 The mothers and sisters and wives O. the country know the sacrifice of war. They will feel that we have mis- led them and compelled them to make an entireIy unnecessary sacrifice of their beloved ones, if we do not make IL as certain as it can be made, tha no similar sacrifice will be demanded
