starvation and from other causes col
lateral to the war were placed head

great globe itself At this very hour,
millions of men and women and little
children are the victims of our hes
itancy. How can the heart of Amer
lea be closed to these things?

country and it has been my fortune to
visit most of the states of the Union.
1t has SO happened that 1 have been

have seen the great avenues of our
splendid American cities lined with
the populace. cheering and cheering
again as these brave lads marched
by, happy that they had come tri-
umpantly home. But have never wit
messed these inspiring sights without
thinking of the boys who did not come
home. They do not rest as strangers
in strange land-these soldiers OF
liberty. The generous heart OF France
enfolds them. The women and the
children of France cover their graves
with flowers and water them with
tears. Destiny seized these lads and
led them far from home to die for an
ideal And yet they live and speak to
us here in the homeland, not OF trivial
things but of immortal things. Rev

surely these remain to US. In that
heart of hearts where the great works
of man are wrought, there can be no
forgetting Oh. God, release the i'm
prisoned soul of America touch once
more the hidden springs of the spirit
and reveal US to ourselves.
Let the true purpose of our party
be clearly understood. We stand
squarely for the same ideals of peace
as those for which the war was
fought We support without finch
ing the only feasible plan for peace
and justice. We will not submit to
the reputation of the peace treaty or
to any process by which it is whitfield
down to the vanishing point. We de-
cline to compromise our principles
or pawn our immortal souls for sell

backs upon the history of the last
three years. We seek no avenue of
retreat We insist that the forward
course is the only righteous course.

SAN FRANCISCO. June 2s.-An in

written at Chicago.
The republican platform not only
repudiates the League of Nations, but
praises, without discrimination, all
of the republican senators who par
benediction fall alike upon the ire
concilables, the Lodge reservationists,
the mild reservationists and those
who proposed a separate peace with
Germany. 1t is consistent in one
thing only. the recognition of the
fact that the open foes of the treaty
the secret foes of the treaty and the
conspired with it's enemies are
equally responsible for the destruc-
ton of the instrument itself. 1t
would be idle to inquire by what po-
litical legerdemain this meaningless
and yet ominous declaration was pre-
pared. 1t is enough to know that the
"Old Guard" sold the honor of Amer
lea for the privilege of nominating a
reactionary for President.
Cause Of Peace
Set Forth at Length.
The war had set a great task for
craftsmanship. The best thought of
the world demanded that a serious
attempt be made by the leaders of
the allied governments to formulate
a treaty of peace which should pre-
vent the recurrence of war. Every
rightful impulse of the human heart
was in accord with that purpose.
From time immemorial men have
dreamed of peace: poets have sung
of it; philosophers have written
about it; statesmen have discussed
it; men everywhere have hoped and
prayed that the day might come
when wars would no longer be neces-
sary in the settlement of interna-
tional differences.
For the first time in the turbulent
annals of the human race such a
project had become feasible The
destruction of militarism, the crum-
bling of thrones, the dissolution of
dynasties. the worldwide apprecia-
tion of the inner meaning of war and
the final triumph of democracy had
at last made it possible to realize the
dearest dream that ever crossed the
night of mans dark mind. The op-
portunity for service was as great
as the need of the world. and the
failure to render It must stand as a
1eproach for all time.
1t is said that if the dead who di ed
in the great war were placed head to
feet, they would stretch from New
York to San Francisco. and from

power. In accordance with this pur-
pose, the bank will to-day pay to its

lar salary for the first quarter of the
year as extra compensation. The
bonus goes to all employees and to
officers not members of the board who
