LIVING AND DEAD -~ HONORED BY CITY (Continued from Preeedlu Pue) face the 'trials and hardships of a strange land, & new era. ‘The bravest battle that was ever fought Shall I tell you where and when? On the maps of the world you'll find it not: It was fought by the mothers of men. “'Deep in walled-up heart— Ot a woman that would not yleld, But bravely, silently bort her part, Lo, there is that battlefield.’ woman's “How we Americans do love that treedom for which our boys fought. One of the posters used in the World war pictured men from all the different nationalities which o to make up our population. Every one wore the uniform of these United States, and they were pic- tured against the background of Old Glory. The poster bore the inscrip- tion ‘Americans All!' Back of that plcture is a beautiful thought and it in exemplified in this vast multitude before my eyes at this very moment, America is_made up of representa- tives of every race. What we have most in common is our love of free- dom. Some contribution has been made to this country of ours by rep- resentatives of every race. Though we do not always recognize it we are dependent upon each of these diverse clements. - We would be worse off and not better if we were to lose the representatives of a single na- tion. Take a step farther with me in this line of thought and realize that just as we receive something from every nation sentatives of that nation in our midst, so the world as a whole is made better by the contributions of cach separate nation. Kach has its place and its peculiar gifts. America would be worse oft if a single na- tion were hlotted out, and likewise they would be worse off without America. . “Memorahle are the words of Charles Evans Hughes: ‘American- ism is not a matter of race. Anyone | who thinka that to be an American means you must trace your ancestry back along a certain line of descent in this country for a certain. num- ber of years, utterly mistakes the meéaning of the word. Americanism through - repre- | Governor’s Foot Guard as it approached the corner of [ Main and West Main streets. formed a colorful addition to the parade of Saturday. NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, PICT ORIAL STORY OF WAR MEMORIAL DEDICATION The Foot Guard uniforms | { remind you in closing of the words of the immortal Lincoln at Gettys- burgh: ‘It is for us, the living. rather, to bhe dedicated to the un- finished work which they who fought thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be dedicated | to the great task remaining before honored dead | us——that from these we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion.’ “'God give us men! A time like ours demands Strong minds, great hearts, true is not a word of the flesh. It is a | word of the spirit; and there is now | nfany a'man who is seeking his | hoipe in this favered land, and waiting to have the rights of full itizenship. conferred upon him, whose heart beats more intently with | trije patriotism than many of those Who can trace _their ancestry bac for Lo, hundred. years In this coun- try” . When we recognizt, that a man is an American nat by birth or blood but by ideals, and when we see that most of our real American homes are founded hy people not American Ly birth, we begin to realize that there is a cleavage between ideals and ;pations. . The best in any land is the. best in every land. Let us then today extend to each other the Lband of fellowship and say in unison in our hearts, with- a prayer of thanksgiving to God: We are Ameri- cans all.® “May our patriotism be such as that of Benjamin Franklin expressed by his toast at the court of France. One_ said: ‘I give you the King of France and T will call him the Sun, and I give you the king of England and call him the moon,’ and then turning to Franklin he said: ‘What will you do for a toast with the sun and the moon already en- gaged? Franklin responded: ‘I cannot give you the sun or the moon or the stars and call my country such, but T give you the United States and call them Joshua, the son of Nun, who made the sun and the moon and the stars to stand | still as long as he pleased.’ “We look back today mingled feelings of pride, and hope upon the years that have past, and their historical events; with pride in the knowledge of the accomplishments for civilization; with sadness in the memory of those who, In participation in those ac- complishments, gave their lives; with hope that we in strength of | character and purpose may carry on by our sctions, the example set by our forefathers; that we may keep alive and build upon those charished ideals of which we, as a nation are justly proud. *“It is appropriate that we as citizens of N Britain dedicate this monument and give expression to the feelings of our hearts, but it is cqually befitting and necessary that we not confine to these two days our demonstrations of loyalty, re- membrance and faith. Through a | century ahd a half of honorable ex- | istence this nation has advanced to its present enviable place in the world. That position has not been rcached through indifference, nor without: trials of the gravest nature. And today we cannot, we must not adopt or condone indifference; in- difference to citizenship that price- less' heritage of ours or indifference 1o religious principles, that greatest heritage in our possession. ofr every man and woman within hear- ing of my voice I bespeak the sup- | port of your citizenship, that the principles and ideals inherited from thase who are in our thoughts this day may be in the foreground of your life’s practice. TInfluences un- worthy of Americanism are at work in the. world today, and they are not wholly without our boundaries. Active loyalty of organizations and individuals only can successfully stem and repulse that tide of in- fluence. “All honor to our men who fought in the fear of God and in the sacri- ficing spirit of America. that liberty and democracy might be, not ours alone but other peoples as well. Never before did a nation enter into war with so unselfish a purpose. In this spirit did our men go forth, some-never to return. What their country asked of them they gave willingly. gladly.. You do well to assemble to do them honor. Let me with sadness | | tion that faith and ready hands. Men whom the lust of office does not kill; Men whom the spoils of office can- not buy. Men who possess opinions will; Men who have honor, men who will | not li Men who can stand before a dema- gogue and a And scorn his treacherous flut(l’ric!‘ without winking men, suncrowned, above the fog public duty thinking." Rabbi Hadas Speaks tabbi Hadas' address was as fol- lows: “I know that the boys who went across and returned no longer b More than 10 years, vital and significant years, vears of struggle and effort at adjustment and read- justment have passed, and it is to men mature’ in years and wide in experience that 1 now address my- Tall who i In and in private “You went over there and accom- | hed a magnificent task. You car- ried to completion a job in a manner that startled the world so thoroughly so0 mobly and so loyally was the work done. Hecroes you are, if ever a hero trod this earth., 1 am not speaking of the political issues in- volved, of the social, moral, religious implications of the war. As we saw the war, at the time at least, as you and we all viewed the struggle, yours was a job of heroes. “But this honor that you have justly earned carries with it a heavy responeibility, and that responsibil- ity is in very brief, again to take up arms. To take up arms in a war that requircs yet more courage, a greater heroism than did the great war. I mean of coursc the war against war. 1 would be a traitor to America and to humanity every- | where it I did not use my oppor- tunity now to call upon you carry on your struggle for peace. | 1or, it it is true that the world has been saved for democracy, it is also true that the world has been saved for ‘bigger and better wars.’ “Need 1 tell you men, and women too, whether you be Jews or Chris- tians, Catholic or Protestants, that you cannot enter the Kingdom of heaven, that you cannot create a de- cent and livable world here below with’ guns and bayonets. In very truth, all decencies, all the civiliza- man has o patiently, so carefully wrought are very quickly swept away in the hellish fires of war. For war destroys all that is| snerous; it crucifics hu- and at the same time it evokes all that is evil in man; it resurrecys the beasts in us. I know that there have been specches and brilliant political plans for the abolition of war, but you well know that unless you and 1 are ready to back them up with our will for peace, these specches are empty words, and those treaties are scraps of paper. “You remember, do you not, that | the war you fought so well was to| end all wars, Most of us have al- most forgotten. And if we do not now recall that fact, and more, do something about it, these of the boys who did not return, will have died in vain. Socrates said that he wanted freedom, personal freedom, 1o .h'u k and think as he liked. ““I jove and cherish you, but 1 nhall obey God rather than you," he said to his fellow Athenians. He drained his cup of poison to the dregs but he assured for mankind the freedom he demanded. Abra- ham said he did not want slavery. Slavery was abolished. Christ want- ed to bring Christianity to man, and Christlanty covers the globe. It is not strange that these men, 8o- to| excellent | mere | crates, Jesus and Lincoln, were all | murdered? It is none the less truc | that the men who believed that they | | were fighting to end wars were also | { murdered.
