A strong international savy— aa well ae an international army— may be needed to enforce world peace, and the United States will be prepared to contritute ite full quota to that nen body, Cheers and waving of napkins punctuated the utterances of Mr. Daniels, ond also those of Beoretary Baker, and patriotism ran high throughout the dinner. ‘The etate- ment of the War Secretary which gained the most applause was this: “Disinclination to fight does not moan inability to fight, A civilized, peace-loving, God-fearing nation, If tt has to protect Hteelf against brute ag- gression, is perfectly suMotent for any contest it may be called upon to enter.” Mr. Baker spoke of our tremendons feat of enrolling 10,000,000 potential fighting men in a single day—a feat for which history has no parallel—| and told too of an almost unbe- Hevable volunteer spirit of service which had animated the business in- teresta of the country. Willinm A. Barber, President of the! Southern Society, and United States Senator J. Hamtiton Lewts of Iinois also mato patriotic addresses, but naturally the words of the men in charge of our active fighting forces took precedence. Secretary Dantele said, earty tn his address, that American valor ts the same as it always was. Yet it ts dominated, he said, not by hate and anger, but by the principles of resolu- | uon and justice, He said the beat shibboleth for America in this war RSDAY, DECEMBER 138, 1917. a the four edom, for all, will tia more featly a anmer of loming | danger of growing dine wife 9 ubt th Ho HAS ARRANGED FOR Friday and Saturday rent in this war will trlumph of tha Jemocracy has not been horn to muffar extinction at the hands of « German nutoorat, It le part of the German propaganda.
