NO WAR EXCEPT FOR
 MOST JUST REASONS
So Pledges Harding at Naval
 Academy Graduation

Annapolis. June 2.-In addressing the graduates at Annapolis today. President Harding said he hoped they would never be called upon to fire a gun except where they could do it with American conscience. with which they could answer to God.
 President Harding added q prom ise that while he was president the young men graduating today never would have to go to war except in a cause that squared with American conscience.
 "A good deal is said nowadays" said MT. Harding. about preparing Tor defense. I know nothing nobler in this world than the defense or ones own country. That is an in- herent thing in man planted in the human breast by God Almighty. There wouldn't be any civilization to- day if men weren't willing to give their all for its preservation. '@
 But the preservation Of the es- fablished order is one thing, and it is highly essential, while crusading for a new order, is quite another thing. sometimes most nobly inspired, sometimes most lilly advised. | can believe the ideal for our country is a sensible blend of the maintenance of the esta blished order and the en- thusiasm of the country's leader. -----
 '.1 want to say to you young men that hope you'1I never be called upon to draw sword nor fire a gun except in the expression of the GUS tomary amity and respect. And. promise you that while. I am presi- dent you'll never be called to fire a gun except where you can do it with the American conscience with which you can answer. to God
 ''I do not want to be misunderstood I want an America unafrafd. but want you to help make a republic of conscience. a republic of sympathy and asrepublic of high ideals"
