NEW TORK. Jan. . Secretary
of State Robert Lansing, speaking here
tonight at the annual dinner of the
New York State Bar -Association, de
clared that until the war alms out
lined by President Wilson are accepted
by the Prussian government the war
must go on. "
"We are to this war as a republlo
to the very end." ' tie declared era
phstlcally, and brouzht the diners to
their feet cheering.
. Mr.. Lansing's address waa regarded
by his hesrers as a reply to the com
ments In German papers upon Presi
dent Wilson's address to Congress. He
declared the alma we aeek must be
achieved and will be.
I bring you a message of good cheer
from the National capital." he .said.
In Washington there la cheerfulness
and confidence."
Speaking of optimism as an asset.
ha said. It has. been "our source of
wealth In every talk the Nation ever
undertook." a"nd should be the coun
try's guiding spirit in the wsr.
- President Aaawera C ealle.se.
"The President was challenged to
name the reasons why we are In the
war and what we aim to achieve." Mr.
Lansing continued. "(Je has named
these alms and has done so frankly,
without equivocation and very definite
ly. The statement has not been 're
ceived with favor by the Germans, but
unless wo achieve those alms we have
no sure foundation on which to build
an enduring peace."
Secretary Lansing was . the first
speaker at the dinner, which waa at
tended by representatives of most of
America's allies In the war. ' Among
the guests ware the Duke of Devon
shire, governor-general of Canada: the
Ambassadors of Great Britain, France
and Italy, the Minister from Belclum
and the Attorney-General of Great
Britain. Charles E. Hugbea presided.
Mr. Lansing toasted all the allies and
his tributes to their efforts in the
struggle to preserve democracy brought
ringing applause.
Optlealasa Great Natloaal Asaet.
In Washington there is cheerful
ness and confidence ana that snouia
prevail through the republic." Mr.
Lansing said in his address. "If I were
asked to name the principal trait of an
American I would say it Is optimism.
Optimism is our great National asset.
U Is our source of wealth and power.
In every task that this Nation has un
dertaken, optimism has been at the
basis of its success, and here, with the
greatest task lhat we have ever un
dertaken aa a Nation optimism should
be throughout the republic the guiding
spirit of the Nation. j
The President was challenged a
short time asro to name the reason why
we are in this war and what we aim to
achieve. He named the reason and he
has recently named the alms which we
seek. He has done so frankly, without
equivocation and very definitely. This
statement of the alms of this country
In entering the war has not been re
ved with favor by our German
friends, ' and yet, unless we achieve
these alms, we hare no sure foundation
on which to build an enduring peace.
Unless these aims are accepted by the
Prussian government, thla war must sro
on. We are In this war aa a republic
to the very end,
Aisaa Will Be Achieved.
"The aims which we seek are to be
achieved, and they will be achieved.
"America never put her hand to a
task but she accomplished It. All wo
have got to do Is to set our Jaws, to
clinch our fists and go to it with all
our might.
"When we have so many of the rep
resentatives of our oo-partners in this
great enterprise, I extend to them on
your behalf and on behalf of tho Amer
icsn people our affection and esteem.
"To France, glorious France, whose
millions of brave hearts have been lm
passable to Prussian fury:
"To Belgium, bleeding, prostrate Bel-
glum, who, beneath the heel of the
brutal Prussian, still lives, as her soul
shall always live.
"To Britain, dogged and determined
Britain, whoae stalwart soldiers faced
death in tha trenches with a smile.
"To Italy. Italy with the glorious
spirit of the old Romans, whose armies
today guard the Venetian plains and
through the mountains of the north are
standing guard over her ancient shrine.
Trtbate Paid Canada.
"To Canada, our splendid neighbor
In the north, who has given without
stint her sons and her treasure In the
cause of liberty.
"To all of our comrades In arms,
those that are not represented here
tonight but who stand shoulder to
shoulder with us In the cause of hu
man Justice.
"I am sure we are all to be congrat
ulated on having as our guests this
evening the Governor-General of the
great Dominion, but I think we can
congratulate him on representing a
country which has shown by its deeds
Its Intense patriotism and its devotion
to the right. I have known for 25
years Canada ana many oi tinaoa s
public men. and I have felt frequently
In the past that they envied their big
neighbor of the south. Tour Excellency,
envy haa crossed the border. Today
Americans envy the splendid record
which has been made by Canada in
this war. . -
When the roll of honor is made up
on this great com net. i can hope ior
no higher honor for America than that
her name may be written not above,
but aide by side with that of Canada.

Caaada Gives Greeting.
The Duke of Devonshire, Governor
General of Canada, spoke briefly. Referring-
to the relatlonsbetween Great
Britain and the United States he said:
"Connected as we are by closer associa
tions and ties we have special reason
to greet you as comrades In arms.
Sincerely as we appreciate the Invalu
able assistance you have given In all
material directions, ' what we really
value to the highest degree is the
knowledge that you have mads our
cause your own.
"Much has been done, but we all
recognize that still further and more
strenuous efforts are needed and i hope
you will accept the assurance from me
that we In Canada are In to the rfinlsh."
Jules J. Jusserand, the French Am
bassador to the United States, said in
his address It was not the word
"peace," but the word "conditions" to
which attention should be paid at this
time, for It is the conditions which
must be won by Germany's enemies.
Day's Work Net Finished.
"Conditions ' will not be offered us
ss a gift." be said. "The day's work
is not finished; though the dawn of the
tomorrow is not far off. From Bel-
fort to the sea. the watch Is kept: the
Belgian, the British, the French, the
American armies are not only -undefeated
but on the move. While the en
emy flatters himself, in his lust of de
struction, that he may have bled white
one or the other of us, it turns out that
we have extra divisions to spare and
we can offer a helping hand to a dear
friend, south of us, undergoing tem
porary troubles. But we have to finish
our work, and to finish it well, so that
It need never be done again. .
Tribute Paid Presldest. 1
TThe Ambassador paid a tribute to
President Wilson's allusion to Amer
ica's determination that "the wrong
done to France by Prussia In 1871 in
the matter of Alsace-Lorraine should
be ria-hted."
No day of my long diplomatic
career," tne speaker said, "has been i
happier one than that when the sue
cessor of Washington, speaking as
Washington himself would have spoken
delivered a statement which will be
engraved till the end of time in every
French heart.
The Ambassador said 1917 would be
memorable always because of "that
unique move of the President, an act
unexampled in the history or tnis coun
try and of the world, to bring to bear
the forces and resources of the new
world on the settlement of a conflict
in the old. a conflict on which de
pends the future of mankind."

the subject upon which Frank Branch

cil of the Chamber of Commerce to

ciate in a lecture tour to be undertaken
