clined to grant them a full holiday on
July 5. Petitions had been filed-with
the president setting forth that as
July 4 was a holiday and the following
day, Saturday, Inaugurated the Satur
day half holiday summer schedule, It
would be appreciated If the chief
executive would make Saturday a com
plete holiday, thereby giving the clerks
threo full days In which to enjoy a
vacation. The president's declination
was due to the fact that he did not
care to establish a precedent.

declared that ho appreciated, with ref

SPEECH BY WILSON
PRE8IDENT ADDRESSES GREAT
THRONG ON THE GETTYS
BURG BATTLEFIELD.
PAYS TRIBUTE TO VETERANS
Nation Does Not Stand Still. He 8ays,
and Orders of the Day for the
People Are Laws on Statute
Books.
Gettysburg, Pa,, July 4. President
Wilson's address today was tho chief
feature of National day In the celebra
tion of the semi-centennial of tho Bat
tle of Gettysburg. It was heard by a
vast crowd of old soldiers and others
and was warmly applauded.
Tho president's address follows :
Frlonds and. Fellow Citizens: I need
not tell you what the battle of Gettys
burg meant. These gallant men In
bluo and gray sit all about ub here.
Many of them met hero upon thlB
ground in grim and deadly Btruggle.
Upon these famous fields and hillsides
their comrades died about them. In
their presence It wore an Impertinence
to discount!) upon how the battlo went,
how It ended, what It signified! But
60 years havo gone by since then and
I crave tho privilege of speaking to
you for a few minutes of what those
50 years have meant
What havo they meant? They have
meant peaco and union and vigor, and
tho maturity and might of a great na
tion. How wholesome and healing the
peaco has been! Wo havo found one
another again as brothers and com
rades In arms, enemies no longer, gen
erous friends rather, our battles long
past, the quarrel forgotten except
that we shall not forget tho splendid
valor, tho manly dovotlon of tho men
then arrayed against ono another, now
grasping hands and smiling Into each
other's ejeB. How complete tho union
has becomo and how dear to all of ub,
how unquestioned, how benign nnd
majestic, as state after stato has been
added to this great family of free
men! How handsome tho vigor, the
maturity, tho might of the great na
tion we love with undivided hearts;
how full of largo and confident prom
lee that a Hfo will bo wrought out
that will crown Us strength with gra
cious Justlco and a happy welfare that
will touch all alike with deep content
ment! Wo aro debtors to thoso B0
crowded years; they havo mado us
holrB to a mighty heritage
Nation Not Finished.
But do wo dpem the v nation com
plete and finished? These venerable
men crowding here to this famous
field have set us a great example of
devotion nnd utter sacrifice. They
wore willing to dlo that tho people
might Hvo. But their task Is done.
Tholr day le turned Into evening. They
look to us to perfect what they estab
lished. Their work is hnnded on to
us, to bo dono In another way but not
In another spirit. Our day Is,. not over;
It Is upon us in full tido.
Havo affairs paused? Does tho
nation stand still? Is It what the no
years havo wrought slnco thoso days
of battle finished, rounded out, nnd
completed? Hero 1b a great people,
great with every force that hns ever
beaten In tho llfoblood of mankind.
And it Is secure. There Is no ono
within Its borders, there is no
power among the nations of the earth,
to make It afraid. But has It yet
squared Itself with Its own great
standards Bet up at Its birth, when It
mado that first noble, naive appeal to
the moral Judgment of mankind to
take notice that a government had
now at last been established which
was to serve men, not masters? It Is
secure In everything except the satis
faction that Its life Is right, adjusted
to the uttermost to tho standards of
righteousness and humanity. The
days of sacrifice and cleansing nro
not closed. We have harder things
to do than were done In the heroic
days of war, because harder to see
clearly, requiring more vision, more
calm balance of Judgment, a moro
candid searching of tho very springs
of right.
Tribute to Their Valor.
Look around you upon tho field of
Gettysburg! PIcturo tho array, tho
fierce heats and agony of battle, col
umn hurled against column, battery
bellowing to battery! Valor? Yes!
Greater no man shall see In war; and
self-sacrifice, and loss to tho utter
most; the high recklessness of exalt
ed dovotlon wtjlch does not count the
cost. Wo are mnde by these tragic,
epic things to know what It costs to
make a nation tho blood and sacri
fice of multitudes of unknown men
lifted to a great stature in the view
of all generations by knowing no limit
to their manly willingness to serve.
In armies thus marshaled from tho
ranks of free mon you will sec, as It
were, a nation ombnttled, the leaders
and the led, and may know, If you
will, bow llttlo except In form Its
action differs In days of peace from
Its action In days of war.
May wo break camp now and bo at
ease? Are the forces that fight for tho
Smashing Force of the Sea.
"Tho great gales which havo re
cently swept tho Atlantic have dem
onstrated In a most emphatic manner
the forco of tho sea, as represented
by tho buckling, bonding and tearing
away of Iron and stool plates from
vessels," says tho Times Engineering
Supplement. "Within the last fow
years, also, engineers have had to
witness the destruction of seawalls
and half completed harbor works by
the storms which have directed tbo
.battering forcea of the breakers
Nntlon dispersed, disbanded, gone to
their homes forgetful of the common;
cause? Are our forces disorganized,1
without constituted leaders and thel
might of men consciously united be-'
cnusc wo contend, not with armies, but
with principalities and powers and)
.wickedness In high places. Aro we
content to Ho still? Does our union!
mean sympathy, our peaco contents
niont, our vigor right action, our ma
turity self-comprehension and a clear
confidence In choosing whnt we shall,'
do? War fitted us for action, and ac-J
tlon nover ceases.
Our Laws the Orders of the Day.
I havo been chosen the leader of
tho Nation. I cannot Justify the choice
by any qualities of my own, but so It
has como about, and here I stand.
Whom do I command? Tho ghostly
hosts who fought upon these battle
fields long ago and are gone? These
gallant gentlemen stricken In yearn
whose flghtlngi days aro over, their
glory won? What aro tho orders for
them, who rallies them? I have In my
mind another host, whom thoso sot
frco of civil strife In order that they
might work out In days of peaco and
settled order tho life of a great na
tion. That host Is tho peoplo them
selves, the great and the small, with
out class or dlfferenco of kind or
rnco or origin; nnd undivided In Inter
est. If we-have but the vision to guide
and direct them nnd order their lives
aright in what wo do. Our constitu
tions nro their articles of enlistment.
Tho orders of tho dny aro the laws
upon our statute books. What we
strlvo for Is their freedom, their right
to lift themselves from day to day and
behold tho things they havo hoped
for, and bo mako way for still better
dayB for those whom they love who
nro to como after them. The recruits
are the llttlo children crowding in.
The quartermaster's stores aro In the
mines and forests and .fields, lu the
shops and factories. Every day some
thing must bo dono to push tho cam
paign forward; and it must bo done
by plan and with an eyo to some great
destiny.
How shall we hold such thoughts tfti
our hearts and not bo moved? I
would not havo you live oven today
wholly In the past, but would wish to
stand with you In the light that
streams upon us now out of that
great day gone by. Hero 1b tho na
tion God has budded by our hands.
What shall we do with it? Who BtandB
ready to act again and always in tho
Hplrlt of this day of reunion and hope
and patriotic fervor? The day of our
country's Hfo has but broadened Into
morning' Do not put uniforms by.
Put tho harness of tho present on.
Lift your eyes to tho great tracts of
life yet to ho conquered In tho Inter
est of righteous pence, of that pros
perity which lies In a people's hearts,
and outlasts all wars and errors of
men. Come," let us bo comrades and
soldiers yet to servo our fellow men
In quiet counsel, where tho blaro of
trumpets Is neither heard nor heeded
and whore the things aro done which
mako blessed tho nations of tho world
lu peace and righteousness nnd love.
