Washington, July 10. "The United States has been offered the moral leadership of the world and dare not reject it without breaking the world's heart" President Wilson declared today to the senate in presenting for rati- Jication the treaty of peace "Shall we hesitate to accept this great duty!'' the president asked. - ".Dare we reject it and break the heart of the world The only question is whether we caa refuse the mora! leadership that is offered us; whether we shall accept or reject the confidence of the. world." Rejection of the league of nations. Wilson said, would 'be a rejection or the world's confidence. More than that he declared that with the league of na tions out tho treaty becomes but a Wrap of paper. The (president began his speech by outlining how American troops, to whom he paid a warm tribute as "men terrible in battle but gentle and help ful out of it," turned the tide of the war.
