Y.. which ia repro duced berewith-J , - . a I : We have assembled here today to com memorate the deedsNof the Valiant men wto went orft to battle in the Civil war to preserve the tmity of the American states; to do honor to them and to the men m-ho, at their country's call In 1898, fought on Cuban soil to free a neighbor ing people form tyranny and to confer upon them the boon of liberty and inde pendence to celebrate the : Immortal achievements of the mighty . host who aprane to arms when military autocracy threatened the civilisation of the world and vindicated the might and majesty of liberty and democracy on pe bloody battlefields of the -greatest War of all time. It Is with solemn pride and rever ent hearts that we render homage: to the . heroes who have made this nation great and pledge ourselves anew to: the lofty and noble Ideals that gave birth to this republic and that hsve maae ner , While we are engaged in the discus sion of the major problem we can 'make a ' beginning. , It Is a partial remedy only, but it Is a beginning. That thing Is. to enter; into an agreement with Great Britain and Japan for a reduction of naval armaments, as proposed la the resolution of Senator Borah recently adopted by unanimous vote of the sen ate. If Great ; Britain, Japan and - the United States, the three leading , naval powers,; come to an agreement - which will stop further wasteful expenditures upon j competitive j naval programs, we nhal! set an example to the world, In a thoroughly practical and beneficial way, of thel value of such international agree ments and we shall, at the same time, take a most Important step toward a re duction of the burdens i-. of taxation, which now bear with increasing weight, not only upon the American people, but upon j the people of all the nations of the world. j . DISARM AM EXT PACT ,While, every good citizen should oppose any reduction in our naval strength or any cessation of naval construction, so 'on M we ' nave no agreement with a beacon of liberty and human progress. 1 -t weatj nntain, there is not. We ; dedicate thhv tablet of enduring nd cannot be any valid objection to an bronze to me men 01 nunmiswi". responded with unfaltering and unhesi tating patriotism when tner country summoned them, and to all the men of that vast legion of liberty who carried the Stars and Stripes to new deeds of glory ; n foreign fields and madei de mocracy, the triumphant principle of modern civilization. ; .'''" WHY AMERICA FOUGHT 1 While we glory In the deeds of these brave men. it is well to consider) the tilings for which they fought that we may more clearly understand them. land more certainly translate into actualities the fruits of their victories. - - For the honor of the American; soldier I deny the Ignoble - assertion that we fought merely to save our own skins and because "we were afraid not to fight." I denounce as, a calumny; the statement that the brave '.men who fought and died - for America did so "solely to save the United States j and rrst reluctantly and Iaggardly at that" The men of the American Legion went to France and into training camps throughout America not "reluctantly and Uggardly"; but willingly and with alac rity. They did not fight because, as charged, they "were afraid not to fight..' They fought because they wanted to fight,' because it was right to fight. They fought because the immortal ideals f America were in peril. They fought cause they loved liberty and were not willing to have it swept from, the earth. They fought because they hated autoc i acy and wanted it destroyed, - They J ought because they were determined to end war and to substitute for its brutal aay the reign of peace and order where International differences could be settled I y those principles of arbitration or established Justice which would usher in a new era of peace and good will among men...: . . AfTOCRACT SLAIH" . This was the aim ana purpose 01 un American soldier. Thta was the Inspira tion and hope of the Amrelcan civilian, tion and hope of the American civilian. n the field and the power of the Ameri can civilian in Industry, we garaeo on the field of war and carnage the triumph of liberty and democracy. But w lost on the battlefield of politics the "victory over war itself. Autocracy was left dead on the battlefield.! but Mars. 'the god of car, was re-enthorned lnfc the political arena. J We have no right to consider as a partisan political question this great u nd overshadowing problem : of world peace. Peace, order and prosperity are i as necessary for Republicans as for I Democrats, and ail men and all women, without regard to party affiliations or nreiudicea. religious beliefs or racial ex traction, should unite In a mighty effort to secure these - great needs for, hu manity. !: ';'. WHERE AM E RICA-F AltS 4 b-U More than two years have elapsed since the armistice. The world ia in many respects in greater turmoil and misery than when the armistice: was signed. The disintegrating effects of in ternational disorder have produced a situation where there is no confidence between . nations themselves, . no feeling of security, no assurance of stability. 1 Why is this? It is because the United, States has not done Its part in bringing about that organization of the nations , which would assure In the largest pos sible measure their united cooperation. We have declined to accept member ship In the League which 40 nations have alreadv ioined to assure arbitra tion and peaceful settlement of inter- ' national disputes and to bring about general agreement for a reduction and limitation of armaments. This was a grave mistake, but in a democracy the will of the majority governs, and if the will of the majority is against our en trance; Into . league to preserve . the peace of the world, then- our duty as good citizens Is to continue ; the discus sion and to do every proper thing to secure a reconsideration of the verdict. agreement between these naval program covering the next five years which will reduce naval construc tion to a minimum while -preserving the relative or proper; strength of each na tion. Such an agreement ' would have great Influence upon the peace of the world, and would result in a large re duction of our tax burden. This tn itself would be a great relief in this time of serious business depression. In I the naval bill now under discus sion the senate, It is proposed to ap propriate approximately 8500.000.000 for the next fiscal year to carry out our i?hr f ! ,aviI eo"trucUon. This, with the appropriations for our armv r L!: of 81.100.000.000 or more itfon- ver.ent f th ent,r appropri ations for the next fiscal year. If this rvo"id n aTVO,ld.ab,e- aycrlrne,ot to Sen L," V." aH"um that the burden of this hug military expendi ture, exceeding the entire 8t oT Se IZwlL0 the war 18 borne only by those, who pay income ta th lX?1'.!0 Semassof the people, bear the brunt of the burden nJ.U5h, lrd,ret t taxes which sre re" and lnrh,heheP .ed.tller food! fuel ment ZZ&-J . " rjr anicie consumed to national security and at the same time largely reduce - the burden of taxation should be consummated with all possible speed. Unless the leading nations of the world assert themselves vigorously to bring about " a reduction of . taxation, which la mow crushing the life out of the people everywhere, there' is no prospect of an early return to prosperity. We are now In the midst of a period of seri ous economic depression, due to causes that are not merely local but world-wide. Relief from these conditions can 'only come from a stoppage of the waste of the fruits f human industry and toll, a waste which now finds its chief out let in the maintenance of huge military establishments and a continuation of the senseless - race - of competitive military armaments. Prostrate Industry -cannot get upon Its feet again, nor stricken prosperity ; be , brought back to health, until the crushing burden of taxation is materially reduced. , . . - ORGANIZE FOB PEACH ' ' ; '" . Peace is not an unrealizeable ; ideal. The world has heretofore been organized for: war in order to prevent war,' and it served only to cause war. Let the world now organize for peace in order to se cure: peace, and see if it will not pro duce peace. jt ' . ;";:;V ij ' Let us, therefore, on this day. when the sublime . sacrifices of our- dead he roes give point and poignancy to the les sons of the past, resolve not to follow the blind leadership of those who would lead us again into the black abyss of war. Let us rather take counsel of God and the noble Christian precepts He has taught us,- and of the lessons we have learned' through unnumbered : centuries of blood and human misery, and realize that force must not now and can never be accepted arbiter of human destiny : that peace and justice are mightier than all the powers of evil, and that there can be; no permanent civilisation until we de stroy war and enthrone peace. ,. - Country Girl Proves Clever Diamond Thief Spokane.

A warn ing to members and posts of the Ameri can Legion to refrain from engaging In the "agitation" for recognition of the Irish republic was the last official act of Commander Galbraith, who was killed tn an automobile accident in Indiana, .The order follows in part; - "The national commander Is of the opinion that: the problem involved Is one which pertains to the people of Great Britain and Ireland and ' can only be solved by them; that it is not a -matter in which, the , American Legion Is con cerned .and that members.' official posts and departments of the American Legion as such, should refrain from partici pating In this agitation, directly or in directly. It is his opinion that any other course of conduct is in conflict with the spirit and constitution of the American Legion. Vet Buried Under Stone Raised for Him 50 Years Ago i (By United New .
