Enter Like Americans.

ing OF the fall term OF IT,, A:Mv war

what the best aspirations of the

Le time vi nout the '.essity for
armed iorces.'t.
The President in his brief address
pledged the 200 officers in his audi
ence that during his administration
they would never be called to per-
form any military service, "They
could not enter into with all their
heart and soul as Americans"
Referring to the situation in the
West Virginia coal fields, Mr.. Hard
ing said, 1--WE ought not to have a
conflict like that which is going on
in West Virginia. It is due to a lack
of understanding"
The President said there we're
"two relative essentials to the civili-
zation to which we all aspire; one is
an understanding among men at
home, and the other understanding
between nations"
The President expressed the be-
lief that the time was coming when
the "burdens of armament could be
diminished. He said, II wish with
all my heart that there will be less
Of armies and navies."
