Individual statesmen may have started the conflict but neither they nor their oppo.lHiUtH run stop it if* they please. It has be come a people's war. and peoples of all sorts and races, of every degree of power ami variety of fortune, are in volved in its sweeping processes of change and settlement. We come into it when its character had become fully defined and it was plain that no nation could stand apart or be indifferent to its outcome. Its challenge drove to the heart of everything we cared for and lived for. Our brothers from many lands as well as our own murdered dead un der tlie sea. were calling to us, and we responded, fiercely .and of course. "The air -was vicar about us. We saw thing* in their full, convincing -f?r?ipiiitlon?"ir?r"TtIe>' were; and we have seen them with steady eyes ami un changing comprehension ever since." We accepted the issues of the war as facts, not as Ally group c'f men cither here or elsewhere bad defined them, and we can accept no outcome which does not s?|uarol,v meet and settle them. Those issues are t bene : "Shall the military |M?wer of any na tion or group, of iintb iiH be suffered ' to determine tin* fortunes of peoples over whom they have no right to rule except the right of force? "Shall strong nations be free to wrong weak nations and make them subject to their purpose and interest?

"Shall then* In' a common standard of right ami privilege for all peoples and nations or shall the strong do as they will and the weak suffer without redress? "Shall the assertion of righcfH' hap hazard anil by casual alliance or aha 11 there b?' ?? common concert to oblige the observance of. common rights?
