(By Associated Press

Washington, Feb. 17-Presi-
dent Wilson in his 'rnemoran-

their proposed Adriatic settle

tied States might have to consid-
er withdrawing the Versailles
treaty from the Senate if the Al

without the consent Of the United
States. This statement was made
officially here today with the fur
ther statement that the American
position as outlined was not in the
nature of a threat, but state
ment Of the situation created mot
by the act of the American gov
ernment but by an act OF the Brit
ish, French and Italian premiers," "
which would place the United
States in a position, if it were a
party to the treaty of Versailles,

COATES ON LINCOLN
CONTINUED from Yesterday

continued from Yesterday
Lincoln was great American; not
Kentuckian nor an an Illinoian but .
real American. He believed in the
American Creed which may be sum
n ed up in the statement. "American-
ism means democracy and equality of
opportunity land the aristocracy of
achievement" l use the word aristo-
cracy> in the sense of the best and
greatest of achievement. He believed
that men are created free and equal;
but he was too wise to think that men
could have remained equal. Life was a
race track where all men could have a
fair start but where the winners of
the race depended upon bottom and
speed. He did not believe that men
should be kept equal by law; the wise
with the foolish; the gentleman and
the knave; >the Industrious with the
lazy; the thrifty with the spendthrift
These are the doctrines for which
Lincoln died, and for which our boys
now sleep on Flanders field and ir
the Argonne Forest; and they are
doctrines for which we should glad
ly die before one jot or little of them
shall fall to the ground.
In his Gettysburg Speech, Mr. Lin
coin referred to the government oi
the people, for the people and by the
/ people,; and here this morning we
should reaffirm our Eigh resolve that
such government shall not pass away
Such government depends upon Ger.
tam fundamental axioms and prin.
lcfples. >These axioms and principles
constitute political creed which we
should teach our children as the
Romans taught their children the law:
4 of the twelve tables. What are these
doctrines Time forbids that / en-
umerate all of them but some of then
are: the doctrine. Of free speech, tn,

before, the law; and the right tt
journey where one chooses obeying th,
laws of the land. These examples vii
suffice to illustrate what l mean.

At this TING, as Chairman, of the
Democratic State Committees, am en-
gagged with some high minded patriots
in extending, our organization and. COM
posing it's diseordant elements. 1t is an
earnest and unselfish movement look
ing to the interest of no individual,
class. or group, but to all. in redeeming
Kentucky for democracy. If all other
reasons fail, l would cheerfully put
aside personal ambition for this one, so
hat my motives at this time could not
embarrass the work. by being question
ed.
The social political and economic un-
the relation of the United States T.
world affairs, with its manifold ap-
peals, is a challenge to the highest and
best in any man, and l confess that its
opportunity for great service is diff
faith that the democratic party in the
state and nation is the party of con-
structive progress, as proven by past
! history, and the world must look to it
to establish harmony among its war
/ ring elements and bring order out OF
confusion through the great and peace
able processes of law. The hour ap-
I peals to me strongly. but after careful
thought ,and in view of the splendid
talent in this district which may be
summoned by the voice of the people
/ have determined to turn whatever
powers l possess to the problems neal
at hand, less ambitious, but usefu
necessary and insistent.
