the immortals of France" President
Harding sent this message:
'Ihe wonderful advance of medicine
and surgery are the direct results of
Pasteur's life and work. Already many
infectious diseases have been con-
quered and as result the length of
human life has increased. America
has been among the first nations to
apply Pasteurs work to practical use.
The building of the Panama canal was
made possible by knowledge of the

Pasteur gave to the world perhaps
the greatest discoveries in the realms
of scientific research ever made by
any one man, according to the six
eminent speakers. His work was In
valuable, not only in and of Itself, but
because OF the width of It's appllca-

impetus to further investigation along
new lines, and because of its bene-
fit to the welfare of humanity, speak

Two contrary laws stand to-
day opposed; one a law of blood and
death. which, inventing daily new means
of combat, obliges the nations to be ever
prepared for battle; the other, law of
peace. of labor, of salvation, which
strives to deliver man from the scourges
which assail him. One looks only for
violent conquest: the other for the re-
lief OF suffering humanity. The one
would sacrifice hundreds of thousands of
lives to the ambition of a single individ-
ual: the other places a single human life
above all victories. The law of which
we are the instruments essays even in
the midst of carnage to heal the wounds
caused by the law of war . . -
