Touching on the reasons which had brotught tle American troops across seas. the President said they had come to defeat the things for which the central powers stood "Tie arrogant, selfish domination which they intended to establish; and they eatte, muoreover, to see to It that there never should be a awar like this again." "It is for -.is, particularly for us who are civilized," the president con tinled, "to use our proper weapons of counsel and agreement to see to it that there never is such a wiar agaiti. The nation that sho'illd now fling out of this ocmimon concord of coun sel would betray the hutnan race. So it is our dity to take and iaintaitn the safegaurds which will see to it. that the mothers of America and the mothers of France and E'3ngland and Italy and lielgiun and all other su f fering nlations shouild never be called ilpon for this sacrifice again.
