hopes for International amity. "It
seems providential," the statement, In
part, declares, "that wo, representing
fifteen million former servlco men
should be assembled at the very hour
when tho distracted world most needs
n unifying word. Tho burden of our
duty to speak our deepest convictions
to governments and the public rests
heavily upon us. Surely the voice of
the men who stood shoulder to
shoulder In tho trenches to save civil
ization, nnd who know the hearts of
the allied armies, should bo heard
equally with tbo utterances of pro
fessional statesmen and olllco holders.

to tranquility nnd prosperity for man
kind as n whole, lies In a return to n
sacred observance of those principles
upon which we achieved our victory
tho allied war alms. The calamities
which have since overtnken civiliza
tion have been primarily duo to re
creancy to those pledges."
Among tho other definite step
recommended by the war heroes were:
Full publicity for nil International
agreements; faithful observnnco of
treaties; opposition to territorial ag
grandizement, suppression of move
ments to overthrow governments bj
force; clarification of exchange rates
and resumption of International com
merce, with a proviso for suspension
of trade relations with countries main
taining armies organized for aggres
sive purposes; and organization of n
news disseminating bureau to offset
destructive and lullnmmatory propa
ganda. Medal for French Girl.
