of peace laid down by you have no.

achieved peace.
"'Thic rnthnripo hoS gon Lafor,
You represents the millions Of Amer!-
cans as we'll as millions Of other lands
who believed that the world will find
peace only along the route pointed out
by you. Those principles are right.

the wounds of the war Will be healed.
Last Tuesday it was demonstrated that
the people of America are escaping
from materialism and selfishness and
are preparing again to recognize their
solemn and inexorable duty toward
their fellow nations In Europe. They
realize that the only true protection
for America is the common protection
of Western civilization. The forces
Of obstruction that have been un-
bridled in Turkey must be subdued.
I'VE recognize on this anniversary
that you were true prophet of the
judgment of mankind, and we are
proud to call ourselves your disciples
in the conviction that only by CO.
operation now can the world be saved
from another and even more terrible
war.
at is for our government to deter
mine whether it will help now or as
sumo the responsibility of fighting
again in the near future"
Because of the nation wide interest
manifested in the Wilson demonstra-
ton both last year and this year,
James W. Copeland, originator of the
idea, announced at the conclusion Of
the ceremonies to-day that they would
be made an annual event in Armistice
Day celebrations in Washington.
A message from Governor Edwards
of New Jersev. was delivered by his
daughter, Edith, along with bouquet

Jersey joins in voicing the sentiment
of the nation in devout thanks to the
Almighty for your restoration to
health and ability to receive in person
our earnest fluctuations on this ami
