Wil- llam Graves Sharp, the American ambassador, and a hundred other Americans in Paris were present. M. Viviani in proposing a toast to the health of President Wilson, took occasion to say that he represented not only himself but his colleagues in the ministry. Alluding to the possible entrance of the United States into the war, M, Viviani spoke of the deep | appreciation of France for what Americans already had done for his country. American good will and American service for France, he add- ed, had been of great support to him as premier during the days when im- mense responsibilities rested ipon him and his associates in the cabinet. “As sons of your fathers,’ contin- ued M. Viviani, “I knew from the first that it would be impossible for you to remain aloof from the strife in which we were not only dsefending our soil hut also were liberating the ‘world.” After a eulogy of Americans, their spirit, their ideals, their valor and their generous feeligg toward the world, M. Viviani said they were com- ing into the struggle to save Europe and the world and to join in a victory for their ideals. “What is this victory?” exclaimed M, Viviani. “It is the end of Prussian militarism. Nevermore can that re- turn to invade, to burn, to kill, to violate, to assassinate, to ravage and to oppress. This is not to be a peace for one people, but for all peoples— peace for the weak against the preda- tory strong, the children of our €hil- drén must be free from the shadow of oppression.” M. Viviani then mentioned the in- debtedness of France to the United States for armaments which had kept the war going. " “It is largely, thanks to you,” he said, “that France has had the means with which to fight.” The minister said he expected to see American soldiers fighting in France alongside the French soldiers. He expected to see the American flag symbolizing in France the community | of ideals for which both countries lived He concluded by saying that together France and the 'Jnlted States ‘would have victory.
