My heart is turning home again, and there I long to be, In the land of youth and freedom beyond the ocean bars, Where the air is full of sunlight and the flag is full of stars. I know that Europe's wonderful, yet something seems to lack. The past is too much with her, and the people looking back. But the glory of the Present is to make the future free — We love our land for what she is and what she is to be. Oh, it's home again, and home again, America for me ! I want a ship that's westward bound to plough the rolling sea. To the blessed Land of Room Enough beyond the ocean bars, Where the air is full of sunlight and the flag is full of stars. — Henry Van Dyke. President Wilson, Address to Congress, July 10, 1919. •••Anxious men and women, leading; spirits of France, attended the celebration of the Fourth of July last year in Paris out of generous courtesy — with no heart for festiv- ity, little zest for hope. But they came away with some- thinK new at their hearts. They have themselves told us so. The mere sipht of our men — of their vipor, of the con- fidence that showed itself in every movement of their stalwart fipures and every turn of their swinging march, in their steady comprehending eyes and easy discipline, in the indomitable air that added spirit to everything they did — made every one who saw them that memorable day realize that something had happened that was much more than a mere incident in the fighting, something very dif- ferent from the mere arrival of fresh troops. .A great moral force had flung itself into the strug- gle. The tine physical force of those spirited men spoke of something more than bodily vigor. They carried the great ideals of a free people at their hearts and with that vision were unconquerable. Their very presence brought reassurance; their fighting made victory certain. They were recognized as crusaders, and as their thousands swelled into millions, their strength was seen to mean salvation. .And they were fit men to carry such a hope and make good the assurance it forecast. Finer men never went into battle; and their officers were worthy of them. ^omx 3^oU.

President Wilson, Address to Congress, April 2d, 1917. * * * The world must be made safe for democracy. Its peace must be planted upon the tested foundations of political liberty. We must have no selfish ends to serve. We desire no conquest, no dominion. We seek no indemni- ties for ourselves, no material compensation for the sac- rifices we shall freely make. We are but one of the champions of the rights of mankind. We shall be satis- fied when those rights have been made as secure as the faith and freedom of nations can make them. * * * It is a fearful thing to lead this great peaceful people into war, into the most terrible and disastrous of all wars, civilization itself seeming to be in the balance, but the right is more precious than peace, and we shall fight for the things which we have always carried nearest our hearts, — for democracy, for the right of those who submit to authority to have a voice in their own govern- ments, for the rights and liberties of small nations, for a universal dominion of right by such a concert of free peoples as shall bring peace and safety to all nations and make the world itself at last free. To such a task we can dedicate our lives and our fortunes, everything that we are and everything that we have, with the pride of those who know that the day has come when America is privileged to spend her blood and her might for the prin- ciples that gave her birth and happiness and the peace which she has treasured. God helping her, she can do no other. «&tirring Worbs Siorn of ttjt Wat. The hour has come to advance at all costs; to die where you stand rather than give way. MarslKil J.ilTri'.
