And everybody praises the American
soldier with the feeling that In prals.
' lng him he Is subtracting from the
credit of no one else.
"I have 'been searching toMhe fun
damental fact that converted Europe
to boliovo In us. liefore this war
Europe did not believe In us. as she
does now. Slio did not 'believe In us
thruout the first three years of tho
war. She seems really to have be
lieved that we were holding off be
cause we thought we could . make
more by staying out than by going
In.
Verdict Revised
"And nil of a sudden, in a short IS
months, the whole verdict is reversed.
There can be but one explanation for
it.' Thcv saw what we did that
without ninkine a silicic claim we put
all our men and all our means nt tho
disposal of those who wero fchtiug
for their homes, in the first instance,
but for a cause, the cause of human
; rights and justice, and that we went
in. not to support their national
cvnims.'but to snpprt tho creat cause
which' thcv heM in common.
"And when thcv saw that America
not only held ideals, but acted ideals,
thev were converted to America and
became finn partisans of those ideals,
"I met a erourt of scholars when
I was in Paris some eentlemen from
one of the Greek universities who hud
come to sec me, and in whose pres
ence, or rather in the presence of
those traditions of learning, I 'felt
vcrv vouns indeed. I told them that
I had one of the delishtful Vevenses
that sometimes come to a man. All
my life I had heard men speak with
a sort of condcsccns-on of ideals and
of idealists, and particularly those
separated, encloistered persons whom
thcv choose to call adademic, who
were in tho habit of uttering- ideals in
the fre atmosphere when thtv clash
with nobodv in particular
War Won by Ideals
"And I said I have had this sweet
revcnKc. : Speakins with perfect
frankness in the name of the people
of the United States I have uttered
as the objects of th;s irrent war ideals
and nothing but ideals, and tho war
has been won bv that inspiration. Men
were fiehtinff with tense muscle and
lowered head until thev came to-real-inze
those things, feeline thev were
fighting for their lives nnd their coun
try, and whe" these accents of what
it was all about reached them from
America lifted their heads, thev
raised their eves to heaven", when they
saw men in khaki cominz across the
seas in the spirit of crusaders and
thev found that these were strange
men,; reckless of danger not only,
but reckless because thev seemed to
see something that made that danger
worth while. - Men have testified to
me in Europe that our men were pos
sessed of something that they eould
obly call a religious fervor. They were
not like any of the other soldiers.
Thev had a vision, they had a dream
and they were fighting in the dream,
and fighting in the dream thev turned
the whole tide of battle and it never
came back..
Onlv Went One Wav.
. -."One of, our American humorists,
meeting the criticism that American
soldiers were not trained long enoueh.
said: 'It takes onlv half as long to
train an. American soldier as any
other, because you onlv have to train
hint' one way, and he did onlv go one
wav. and he never came back until he
could do as he pleased.'
"And now do you realize that this
confidence we ; have established
throughout the world imposes a bur
den upon us if vou choose to call
it a burden. It is one of those bur
dens which any nation ought to be
proud to hear. Anv man . who -resists
the prcosnt tides that run in the
world will f;nd himself thrown npon
a shore so high and barren that it
will seem as if he had been separated
from humankind forever.
Burden Is Imposed
"ThcEurope that I left the other
day was full of something that it hud
never felt fill its heart so full before.
It was full of hope. The Europe of
the second venr of the war. the Eu
rope of the third venr of the war. was
sinking to a sort of stubborn desper- J
ation. Thcv did not see anv great
thine to be achieved even when thc
war should be won. Thcv homed there
would; he some salvage; thev hoped
t luil, thev could Wear their territories
of invading- armies; t he v hoped thev
could set up their homes and start
I heir industries afresh. Kill they
thought .it' would simply he. the re.
sumption of the old life that Europe
had led led in fear, led in anxiety.
led in constant suspicous watchful
nous... TheV never dreamed thut it
would be a Europe of settled peace
nnd'of . justified hope. ! -
"And now , these ideals have
wrought this new magic, that all the
peoples of Europe are huoved up and
confident in the spirit of hope, be
cause that thcv believe wo nro at the
eve ill' a new' nge in the World when
nations will understand one another,
when Pillions will support one another
in overv iust cause, when nations will
mule cverv moral nnd every physical-
strength to see that1 the risht
shall prevail.
"If America wec nt this -.juncture
to fail the world, what would como
of itf I do not mean any disrespect
to anv olhcr great people when I snv
that America is the hope of the world;
nnd if the does not itn-tifv that hope
the results are unthinkable. Men
will bo throwiir-bnek upon the bitter
ness of disappointment not onlv, but
the bilterness of despair. ' All niitions
will be set np as hostile camps ttsnin:
the men at the pence conference will

breasts, knowing that thev have fail

home from there until thev did some
thing more than sign a treaty of
peace,
"Supposo we sign tho treaty of

tory treaty of ponce that the eo'nfu-
sion elements of the modern world will
afford and go home and think about
our labors: we will know that we
have left written upon tho historic
(nblo at Versailles, upon which Ver
rcnucR and Bonintnin Franklin wrote
their names, nothing but a modern
scrap of pancr: no nations united to
defend it. no great forces corab'ned
to make it good, no assurance given

"I invite him to test tho sentiment
of the nation. We set this up to make
men free and we did not confine our
conception nnd purpose to America
and now we will make men free. If
we did not do that the fiiinc of Amer

made a little essay at ccnerositv nnd

TALKING ABOUT IT
Splvr Says Wife Does Work First
Time in la Years Gains
28 Pounds
"You ought to I hear the way our
neighbors are talking about Tanlac
since my wife's recovery," said W. A.
Spivey, motorman No. 95, for the
Kansas City Metropolitan Street Rail
way and a valued employe of the
company tor twenty-three years. He
and his wife and Interesting family
of children, live in their own home
at 116 South Church St.. Olatha,
Kansas.
Mrs. Spivy has been In poor
health for fourteen years," he con
tinued, "and almost every month dur.
ing that time she was under treat
ment of some sort, but she never got
any relief that we could notice. She
had no appetite and there were
mighty few things she could eat and
what little she did force down soured
on her stomach and gas. would form
and make her so miserable that she
would have to lie down for awhile.
She almost always had an awful pain
in the small of her back and she suf
fered from blinding headaches and
sometimes she would be so dizzy she
would have to put her hand on some
thing steady like the back of a chair
to keep from falling. She suffered
from nervousness so that some nights
she could hardly sleep at all and she
never did know what It was to get a
good night's rest. She kept growing
weaker and weaker and wa3 so bad
off that twice in the past six years
she was given up to die. We thought
we had tried everything to help her
and didn't know what else to do when
a lady friend of hers told about, Tan
lac. I bought the first bottle about
three months ago and almost at once
she began to show her 'strength com
ing back, but the wonderful improve
ment has been in the past two
months.' ,
'Slio has a good appetite now, and
can eat anything she wants like ap
ples, cabbage, pies and meats of any
kind. Anyone of these things before
sho began to take Tanlac were just
like polron to her. She doesn't suf
fer a bit from sour stomach or gas
and she gets so much good from what
she eats that clio has gained twouty
eight pound.') in the past two iuonthn
She is entirely rid of that pain In her
back and the headaches are gone,
too. Nobody could tell that anything
had been the matter with her norves
they are so quiot now, and sho sleeps
about nine hours every night. ' She
has gotten so strong that she Is doing
all the housework for our family of
six and doesn't mind It a bit, and It
is tho first tlmo In twelve years that
she has been able to do any work at
all. She Is more like she used to be
fifteen years ago than I ever hoped
to see her and I feel just like every
body elso that knows of her improve
ment that Tanlac is the best med
icine ever made."
