Cemetery Near Paris.
LEAGUE FRUIT OF SACRIFICE
Asserts It Is the Duty of the Nations
to Prevent Mothers Going
Through the Suffering of
War Again.
Purls, .May 31. The text of tho
.Memorial address of President Wilson
nt Surosnes cemetery Is ns follows:
".Mr. Ambassador, Ladles nnd Gen
tlemen, Fellow Countrymen:
"No one with a heart In his breast,
no American, tio lover of humnnlty,
can .stand In tho presence of these
graves without tho most profound emo
tion. These men who Ho hero nro
men of it unique breed. Their like
has not been seen since the days of
crusades.
"Never before have men crossed tho
seas to n foreign land to fight for a
cause of humanity which they did not
pretend was particularly their own,
but knew was tho cause of humnnlty
nnd of mnuklnd. And when they came
they found comrades for their courage
nnd their devotion. They found nnn
Iim of liberty already In the Held
men who, though they had gone
through threo years of fiery trial,
seemed only to be Just discovering, not
for ii moment losing, the high temper
of Ihe great affair; men seasoned In
the bloody service of liberty. Joining
hands with these, tho jnen of America
gave the greatest of all gifts tho gift
of life nnd the gift or spirit.
Praises Unflinching Courage.
"It will nlways bo n treasured mem
ory mi tho part of those who knew nnd
loved these men that tho testimony of
everybody who snw them In the Held
of action was their unflinching cour
nge, their nrdor to the point of nu
daclty, their full consciousness of tho
hjgh cause they had come to serve and
their constant vision of the Issue.
"It Is delightful to learn from thoso
who saw these men fight and saw them
waiting In the trenches for the sum
mons to thollght that they hnd u touch
of the high spirit of religion, that
they knew they were exhibiting a spir
it us well ns n physical might, nnd
those of us who know and love Amer
ica know that they were discovering
to the whole world tho true spirit and
devotion of their motherland. It was
America who came In the person of
these men and who will forever be
grateful that she was so represented.
"And It Is the more delightful to en
tertain these thoughts because we
know that Jheso men, though hurled In
n foreign lnnd, aro not hurled In an
nllen soil. They aro at home, sleep
ing with Ihe spirits of thoso who
thought tho same thoughts and enter
tained tho samo aspirations. Tho no
ble women of Suresnes have given evi
dence of tho loving sense with which
they received these dead ns their own,
for theyhave cared for their grnves,
they have nuido it their interest, their
loving interest, to seo that thero was
no hour of neglect and'that constant
ly through all tho months that have
gone by tho mothers at homo should
know that thero were mothers hero
who remembered and honored their
dead.
"You havo Just heard In the beauti
ful letter from M. Clonioncenu what I
believe to bo the real message of
France to us on a day llko this, n mes
sage of genuine emnrndeshlp, n message
of genuine sympathy, and I have no
doubt that If our British comrades
were here they would speak In the
same spirit and In the same language.
For the beauty of this war Is that It
hns brought u new partnership and n
new comradeship and a new under
standing Into the Held of the effort of
the nation.
Lesson TauQht by Sacrifices.
"Hut It would be no profit to us to
eulogize these Illustrious dead if we
did not take to heart the lesson which
they have taught us. They are dead;
they have done their utmost to show
their devotion to a great cause, and
they hnvu left us to bee to It that
that cause shall not be betrayed,
whether In war or peace. It Is our priv
ilege and our high duty to consecrate
ourselves afresh on a day like this to
mo otijects for which they fought.
"It Is not necessary that I should re
hearse to you what these objects were.
These men did not come across tho sea
merely to defeat Germany and her as
sociated powers In the war. They
enme to defeat forever tho things for
which the central powers stood, the
mrt of power they meant to assert In
tho world,
"So It Is our duty to take nnd main
tain the safeguards which will seo to
It that the mother? of America and
tho mothers or Franco nnd England
and Italy and Helglum and all other
suffering nutlons should never bo
called upon for this sacrifice again.
Tnls can be done. It must bo done.
And it will be done. The things that
these men left us, though thev did not
In their counsels coueolvo It, Is tho
great Instrument which wo have Just
erected in the leuguo of nations.
"Tho league or nations Is tho cove
nant of government that these men
shall not havo died in vain. I llko
to think that Ihe dust of those sons of
America who were privileged to ho
burled In their mother coutnry will
mingle with Ihe dust of the men who
UN
fought for the preservation of tho
Union, nnd that America might be uni
ted, these men have given their lives
In order that tho world nilglit he uni
ted. "Those men gnvo their Ives In order
to .secure the freedom of n nation.
These men hnvo given theirs In order
to secure the freedom of mankind, and
I look forward to an age when It will
be Just us Impossible to regret the re
sults of thelrs labor as It Is now
Impossible to regret tho results of tho
labor of those men who fought for tho
union of the states. I look for tho
time when every man who now puts
his counsel against the united senlco
of mankind under the lenguo of na
tions will be lust as ashamed of it as
If ho now regretted the union of tho
stntes.
Fight Final Battle for Right.
"You-arenware, as I am nwnre, that
tho airs of nn older day nro beginning
to stir ngnl.n, that the standards of oh
old order aro trying to assert them
selves ngaln. There Is here nnd there
an nttempt to Insert Into the counsel
of statesmen the' old reckoning of sel
fishness and bnrgnlnlng and nntlonal
advantage which were the roots of
this war, and any man who counsels
these things ndvocntes a renewal of
tho sacrifice which these men have
made; for If this Is not the final bat
tle for right, there will be another that
will be flnnl.
"Let these gentlemen who suppose
that it Is possible for them to accom
plish this return to an order of which
wo are ashamed and that we are ready
to forget, reajlze they cannot accom
plish It. The peoples of the world are
awake and the peoples of the world
nro In the saddle. Private counsels of
statesmen cannot now nnd cannot
hereafter determine tho destinies of
nations.
"If We nre not the servants of the
opinion of mankind, we nre of all men
the littlest, the most contemptible, the
least gifted with vision. If we do not
know courage, we cannot accomplish
our purpose, and this nge Is nn age
which looks forward, not backward;
which rejects the standnrd of natlonnl
selfishness that once governed tho
counsels of nations and demands that
they shall give way to a new order of
things In wldch only the questions will
be, 'Is It right?' 'Is It Just?' Is It In
the Interest of mnnklnd?
"This is a challenge Hint no previ
ous generation ever dnred 'to give ear
to. So many things have happened and
they hnvo happened so fast In the last
four years that I do not think ninny of
us realize what It Is that has hap
pened. Think how lmposslblo It would
have been to get a body of responsible
slntesmen seriously to entertain tho
Idea of tho organization of a league of
nations four years ago 1
"And think of the change that has
taken place I I wu, told before I came
to Franco that thero would be confu
sion of counsels about this thing nnd
I found unity of counsel. I was told
that there would be opposition and I
found union of action. I found tho
statesmen with whom I was about to
deal united In the Idea that we must
havo a league of nations; that we
could not merely make a pence settle
ment and then leave It to make Itself
effectual.
Spirits Not Burled With Bodies.,
"Ladles and gentlemen, we nil be
hove, I hope, that tho spirits of theso
men are not burled with their bones.
These spirits live. I hopq I believe
thnt their spirits nro present with us
nt this hour. I hope thnt-1 feel tho
compulsion of their presence. I hope
that I realize tho significance of their
presence. Think, soldiers, of thoso
comrades of yours who aro gone. If
they were here, what would they say?
They would not remember what you
aro talking about today. They would
remember America which they left
with their high hope nnd purpose.
And they would say :
" 'Forget all the little circumstances
of tho day. -He ashamed of the Jeal
ousies that divide you. We command
you In the name of thoso who. like
ourselves, have died to bring the coun
sels of men together, and we remind
you what America said she was horn
for. She was born, she suld, to show
mankind the way to liberty. She was
born to make this great gift a common
gift. She. was born to show men the'
way of experience by which they
might realize this gift and maintain It.
and wo adjure yon In the name or nil
the great traditions of America .to
uiiiko yourselves soldiers now onco for
all In this common cause where we
need wear no uniform except the uni
form of the heart, clothing ourselves
with the principles of tight and say
ing to men everywhere, "You aro our
brothers and we Invito you Into tho
comradeship f liberty nnd pence." '
Should Hear Mandates of Men.
"Let us go nwny hearing these un
spoken mandates of our dead com
rades. "If I mny speak a personal word, 1
beg you to realize tho compulsion that
I myself feel that I am under. Hy tho
Constitution of our grent country 1
was the commander In chief of these
men. I advised the congress to declare
that a state of war existed. These
lads over here to dlo (apparent omis
sion). Shall I can I over speak n
word of counsel which Is Inconsistent
with the assurances I gave them when
thej- camo over?
"Is It Inconceivable thero Is some
thing better, If possible, thnt a man
can give than his life, that Is his liv
ing spirit to n service that Is not eusy;
to resist counsels that nro hnrd to re
sist, to'stnnd ugnlnst purposes that aro
dilllcult to stand ngalnst, nnd to say.
Hero stand I, consecrated In kplrlt of
the men who were oiu, my comrades
nnd vho are-now gone and who left
mo uider eternal bonds of fidelity!' "
U. S. WARNED OF
PERIL FROM SEA
Navy Holds All Men to Meet
Crisis, House Committee
Is Told.
NAVY CHIEF BEFORE BODY
Tells Members That at Least Sixteen
First-Class Battleships Should Be
Kept In Commission Daniels
Presents General Report.
Wushlngton, May .'10. Hear Admiral
McKean, acting chief of naval opera
tions, told the house naval committee
the navy dare not return any more
men to civilian life at pres'ent.
"Wo nro keeping the mn because
we have to," the admiral said. "We
dure not let the nnvy drop down to
u state of unprepuredness. If we did,
anyone could como ulong and bump
us off.
"I do not see where we enn go any
further thnn wo have. Two-thirds of
our lighting ships hnvp been placed In
reserve, but the battleships and de
stroyers we must keep. We should
not even be aiding the nrmy In bring
ing back our soldiers from Europe."
"Is not thnt of the greatest Impor
tance at this time?" Representative
Hicks of New York nsked.
"Our duty is higher thnn bringing
the men back," Admiral McKean said.
"Our duty Is to guard the country
from danger. It Is almost a sacrilege
to use our ships for transports."
"What Is the danger you fear?"
nsked Mr. I licks.
"I don't know, but we must be pre
pared to face It."
Admiral McKean told the committee
thnt not less than sixteen first-class
battleships with a total complement
of 20,880 men would bo kept In com
mission as n peace-time force.
He said fewer men were used on
British ships thnn on American craft
of the samo type, due partly to the
fact Great Hrltaln has more men
trained to the work and partly to the
fact tho Hrltlsh term of enlistment Is
longer.
"I wnnt to sny, though," the ndmlrnl
.added, "thnt the Hrltlsh nre not n
whit more ellkient thnn our men. As
a whole I believe our men stack up
better., taking everything Into consid
eration. This Is proven In part by
the fact the Hrltlsh nnvy is pattern
ing Itself in many ways after ours."
The cost to the United States of
each mnn In the navy averages $1,200
u' yenr, the witness said.
It was disclosed that unanimous de
cision had been reached by tho naval
general board and lending officers of
the nnvy who were In commnnd over
sens during the war to continue con
struction of battleships and battle
cruisers rather than to adopt n com
posite ship embodying the essentials
of tho two types. ,
The geilernl board's report was pre
sented by Secretary Daniels. It urged
that tho ten battleships and rIx battle
cruisers, authorized In 1010, me com
pleted ns expeditiously ns posslblo
with changes In the battle cruisers to
afford greater protection nt tho cost
of a slight reduction In tho designed
speed of 3.r knots.
Decision of the board was reached
after hearing the views of Rear Ad
mirals Taylor, Karlo and Grlflln, chief
technical advisers to Secretary Dan
iels, who accompanied the secretnry
on the recent trip to Europe.
The olllcers discussed fthTp con
struction with admiralty olllcials In
Grout Hrltaln, France and Italy and
evidently found little favor there for
the composite ship such as Great Hrlt
aln built during the war.
Work on tho six battle cruisers wns
suspended by Secretary Daniels pend
ing his trip, hut It Is understood It
will be resumed with n view. to com
pleting the vessels ns soon ns possi
ble The American nnvy Is now with
out any ship of this class.
