warby warby warby the tho by any Insincere approaches upon subject of at peace I can say with a n clear conscience that I have tested those intimations and have found them insincere I now recognize them for what they are arc an opportunity to have o a n. free freo In the cast to carry out the purposes of at conquest conquest conquest con con- quest and exploitation STAND BY RUSSIA Every very proposal with re regard rd to accommodation ac ac- ac- ac in the west Involves a reservation with Ith regard to the cast east Now so far a as I am concerned I Intend intend in intend In- In tend tend- to stand b by Russia as well as France Prance The helpless and friendless are re the very ones that need friends and succor succor succor suc suc- cor and if It any man in Germany thinks we wo are going to sacrifice anybody anybody any any- bod body for tor our own sake I ton toll them then now non the they are mistaken For Fol the tho glory of at this war my mj fellow tellow citizens so far as we are concerned is that it is perhaps perhaps perhaps per per- haps for the first time In history an unselfish war I could not be proud I to fight tight for fol a selfish purpose but Ican I Ican Ican can be bo proud to fight for far mankind If they wish let them come forward forward for for- ward accredited representatives tives and lay their terms on the table We 0 have laid ours and they know what thc they arc But behind all this grim purpose m my friends Ue the tho opportunity to demonstrate not only force which will willbo willbe bo be demonstrated to the tho utmost but th the th opportunity to demonstrate character I and its it's the opportunity that we have most completely in tho the work of oC tho the i work worle of or the Red Cross not that our men do not represent our character 1 I for tor thc they do and it Is a character which those who see and realize ap- ap and admire but hut their duty is I Ithe the tho duty of at force Tho ho he duty of at the tho Red Cross is the thc duty of at mercy and succor and friendship I WORLD TO BE I I Have you formed a picture In your our imagination of at what this war is doing for us and for tho the world In m my own mind mInt I am convinced that not a n hundred hundred hundred hun hun- dred years' years of at peace could have havo knitted j this nation together as this single sIn le year ear of or war has knitted it LO together I and better even than that if pO possible I it is knitting the tho world together Look at the picture In the tho center of or the tho i scene four nations ensa engaged d against the world and at t er e every point of oC vantage vantage van van- on I tage showing that thc they are seeking selfish a aggrandizement and against them twenty-three twenty governments representing the greater part of the population pop pop- pop pop-i of at the world worM drawn together j jinto into a n. new sense of at community interest In- In j in-j terest a new sense of or community I purpose I I Tho The secretary of oC war told toM me m an an I interesting incident the other day Hei Iles I Isaid said when he was In Ital Italy a member of oC the tho tallan tallan government was explainIng explaining explain explain- Ing Ins to him the many rea reasons ons why Italy felt near to tho the United States Slates lie He said If It you Oll want to try an Interesting Inter- Inter esting

up Mo J from san jan Fran Kran- cisco me from New ew York all over LOVE AM AMERICA ERICA I There was part of or the tho heart of or America In the Italian nr army People that had been knitted to us by

na- na tIvo tive Ital Italy i f Friendship is the only cement that will ever hold tho the world worM together And this intimate contact of or the great Red RedCross RedCross RedCross Cross with the peoples s who are arc suffering suffering suf sul- fering the terrors and deprivations of this war Is going oln to bo he one of or tho the greatest Instrumentalities of friendship frIendship friendship friend frIend- ship that the world ever knew and the tho center of at tho the heart of It all If IC we sustain sustain sustain sus sus- tain it ft will bo be this and that we so dcarl dearly to lore eMy e My I 1 friends a great da day of ot duty has come and dut duty finds a mans man soulas soul soulas as no kind of work can ever find lind it it RAPS PROFITEERS May I say ay this The duty that faces us all now is to serve e one another another an nn- other and no nn man ran can afford to make a fortune out of or this war There are men amongst us who have o fot forgotten that If H they ever saw it Some Somo of or you are arc old enough I enough I am old enough to remember men who made fortunes out of ot the Civil war and you know how thc they were regarded reg b by their fehlow citizens That was a t war to save sa one j I country this country this I Is a J war wal to save savo the h world orld And your relation to tho the RedCross Red Rei RedCross Cross is one of ot the relations which will relieve you of ot tho the stigma You sot cant can't give o anything to the government of at tho the United States States States-It it wont won't accept I it ft Thero There is Js a 0 law of at congress against accepting even en services without pay par The Tho only thing that tho the government will accept Is a loan and duties performed per per- formed but it is a n. great deal better betterto to give than to lend or 01 pay 1 and your our great channel for giving is the American Ameri Ameri- can Red Cross Down In your our hearts much satisfaction you ou cant can't take very In the last analysis In lending money moner to the llio government of oC the tho United States be because ue the interest which you ou draw will burn your our pockets It Is n a commercial transaction and some men men have havo even dared to cavil ll at the tho rate of oC interest not knowing the incidental tal commentary that that constitutes upon their attitude GIVING A PLEASURE But when you give i e something of at your OUI heart something of or your our soul something of or yourself goe goes with tho the gift particularly when it II is given in such uch form torm that it never can come back backby backby backby by way of oC direct benefit to yourself You know lenow there is the old cynical definition definition of oC gratitude as the lively expectation ex expectation expectation ex- ex of ot favors to come Well thero there Is no expectation of or favors to come In this kind of ot giving g These things aro are bestowed in order that the tho world ma may be a fitter place to live line in that men may bo be succored that homes ma may he be restored that suffering may maybe maybe maybe be relieved that the face of oC tho the earth may havo have the blight of ot destruction taken cn awa away from it and antI that wherever force goes oes there shall go mercy and helpfulness UNTIL IT HURTS And when you give hl give I e all nil that you ou can cart spare anu and uon dont don't uon-L uon L consider yourself liberal in the tho giving If It you give s with sel self jO you yol 1 arc are not giving at all you arc are giving to your own vanity but I it you give until it hurts then your OUI heart blood lood goes into it And think what we have here We e call it the American Red Cross but it Is merely a branch of oC a great g International organization which is not only recognized by the statutes of at each cach of oC the civilized governments of ot the world but it is recognized and accepted instrumentality of oC mercy and succor And one of ot the deepest stains that rests upon tho the r reputation of oC the German army Is that the they have not respected tho the Red Cross That goes noes to the root of or tho the mat mat- ter The They have respected the instrumentality thc they themselves participated participated par par- in setting up as the thing thinS which no man was to touch be because It was the expression of oC common humanity We e are members by beinS being be inS ing members of oC tho the American Red RedCross RedCross Cross of at a great fraternity and comradeship comradeship com com- which extends all over the world and this cross which these ladies bore today Is an em emblem lem of ot Christianity itself WORKERS PRAISED It fills m my imagination ladles ladies and gentlemen to think of oC the tho women allover all allover allover over this country who ere are busy tonight tonight to- to night and are arc busy every night and da of at the Red ned RedCross every e day clay doin doing the work I Cross busy husy with a great eagerness cas to find Cind out the most serviceable thing thInS to do bus busy with a n forgetfulness of or orall all the tho old frivolities of or their social relationships ready to curtail the duties of or the household In order that they may keep to this common work that all their hearts are aro engaged aged in and in doing which their hearts beI bet be- be I t come acquainted with each other I When you OU think of oC this you OU realize I how the people of ot the tho United States I arc are being drawn together into a great family whose heart Is being used for the service ser of at the soldiers not only but for the service of oC civilians whore where the they suffer and are lost In a amaze amaze amaze maze of at distresses and distractions And you OU have then this nobly picture of or justice and mercy as the two to servants of oC liberty For only where men are aro free do the they think the thoughts of oC comradeship ant only where thc they are free flee do they think tho the thoughts of or sympathy only where they are free are they mutually helpful helpful helpful help help- ful where they are arc free do doI I thc they realize their dependence upon one another and their comradeship in a l common interest and common common necessity TELLS STORY I r heard a a. story ston told the other da day that was ridiculous but out it Is worth repeating because it contains the germ of truth An Indian was enlisted In the arm army lIe He returned to the reservation on a furlough lie He was asked what he thought ht of at it itHe He Tie said No much good too much salute not much shoot Then he was asked Are you going back I Yes Well do you know what you ou are fighting for Ves Yes me know I fight fig to make male whole damn world Democratic part party He lie had evidently misunderstood some Innocent sentence sentence sentence sen sen- I tence of or m my own But after all although there Is no party part purpose in it ft he got it right ris-ht as far as the word party to party to tomake make the whole world worM |
