SPIRlfOFTRUTH WILL DONATE, ASSERTSWILSON (Continued From Tag One.) always thought that the' chief object . of ': education, was to awaken the spirit and that, inasmuch as a lit efjitflce whenever it has touched its great and higher notes was an ex- " pression of the spirit of mankind, the best induction into education " 'was to feel the pulses of humanity which had beaten from age to age through the universities of men who had -penetrated to the secrets of the human spirit. War Between Systems. j "And I agree with the intimation ' whic'i has been conferred .. today that the terrible war through which we have just passed has not been only a war between nations, but that it has also been a war between systems of culture the one system, the aggressive system, using science without conscience, stripping learn- ' ing of its moral restraints and using every faculty of the human mind to do wrong to the whole race; the other system reminiscent '; of ' the high tradition of. men, reminiscent of all their struggles, some of them obscure, but others closely re , vcaled to history, of men of in domitable spirit. everywhere strug- '., gling towards the right and seeking bbve all things else to be free. - "The triumph of freedom in this war means that that spirit shall now dominate the world. There is ; a great wave of moral force mov ing through the world, and every r man who opposes himself to that " wave will go down in disgrace. Conference Task Simplified. "The task of those who are gath ered here, or will presently be gath ered here to make the settlements of this peace, is greatly simplified by the fact that they are the masters of no one; they are the servants of ' mankind. And if we do not heed the mandates of mankind we sfiall make ourselves the' most" cofispicu oue and deserved failures in the his tory of the world. '' "My conception of the league of nations is just this that it shall ; operate aa the organized moral force of men throughout the world and that whenever or wherever wrong and aggression are planned or con templated this searching light of ;onscience will be turned upon them, and men everywhere will ask: ..." 'What are the purposes that you .' hold in your heart against the for- ' tunes of the world?' , "Just a little exposure will settle " most questions. If thewntral pow ers had dared to discuss the pur poses of this war for a single fortnight-it . never would have hap pened. And if, as should re, they ' were forced to discuss it for a year, the war would have been inconceiv able, r - ' ' . . ; "So I feel that this war is, as has been said more than once today, in timately related with the university spirit. The university spirit is in tolerant of all the things that put the human mind under restraint. It is intolerant of everything that seek- to retard the advancement of ideals, the acceptance of the truth, the purification of life. And every university man can ally himself with the forces of the present time with the feeling that now at last the spirit of truth, the spirit to which universities have devoted them selves, has prevailed and is tri umphant. "If there is one point of pride that I venture to entertain, it is that it has been my private privilege in some measure to interpret the university spirit in the public life of a great nation, and I feel that in honoria me today in this unusual and conspicuous manner you have first of all honored the people whom I represent. The spirit that I try to express I know to be their spirit, and in proportion as I serve them I believed that I advance the cause of freedom. "I wish to thank you, sir, from the bottom of my heart for a distinction which has in a singular way crowned rqy academic career." Tribute Paid to Amarica. In presenting to President Wilson the insignia and diploma of doctor in the name of the University of Paris Vice Rector Lucien Poincare said: "History will recout how. taking inspiration from the American peo ple and your own thoughts, you reached one gloriojs day the de cision which is one of the greatest events recorded in the war and in your own words, placed the blood and all the power of America at the serivce of the principles which have given her life. History will also tell how you have sought to realize the imperishable supremacy of right by means of an association of peoples which should liberate the world." M. Poincare paid honor to Amer ican university professors for the unfailing sympathy they have shown for France and also to the American students who in such great num bers came to fight beside their French student comrades. "Many, alas", M. Poincare con tinued, " will not return to their beloved country, for Ihey have fal len in France, where we trust thev fert they were not on foreign soil and where they have left to the youth of the two republics an im mortal example of fraternal union. Glory to these American students. "Glory to the eminent professors of their universities, and glory to you, Mr. President the first among them all."

Charges by the republicans that in so doing, political advantage was sought with a view to avoiding an extra session of the next congress, in which republicans will have a ma jority were met by assertions from the democrats that republicans de sired to force an extra session. A suggestion by Senator Borah of Idaho, republican, that there was "some mystery" about changed at titude of republicans on the bill caused evident surprise among both factions. After the finance commit tee had adopted the 1920 plan. Sen ator Borah said republican leaders threatened to filibuster and prevent the bilUs passage. Soon after, he added, they "suddenly changed front," and proposed prompt enact ment. Senator Ftrnrosj replied that he thought many republicans were dis posed to defeat the bill, but finally agreed that as the government needed the money its prompt pass age was desirable. During the debate there were pre dictions that an extra session of congress was inevitable. In supporting his amendment for continuing of war profits taxes next year, Senator Jones declared that the committee's proposal, if finally enacted, would be an "absolute em bargo, on new enterprises," and pre vent the development of the coun try at the very time when business should be most encouraged. He did not believe a dollar would be in vested in the western mining indus try if the committee provision was adopted. In opposing the amend rrtnt Senator bimmons said it had been presented before the commit tee by the New Mexico senator and atter much discussion rejected. Those supporting the Jones amendment were Senators Ashurst, Fletcher, Henderson, Johnson of North Dakota; Jones, New Mexico, Kendrick, King, Myers, Phelan, Pittman, Shafroth, Sheppard and Tl.omas, democrats, and Johnson if California, and McNary, republicans.
