Paris, May 30.-In the American
cemetery at Suresnes, near Paris, to
day (liing the cereiony of paying tri
bitte to the occasion of Memorial Day,
P'resident Wlson made his first refer
(lice to the leaguc of nations since the
coveoiant of the society which will
have as its object the prevention of
future wars, was contleted.
III! words were delivered in the
presvliec of thousands of American
soldiers and many civilians and the
oflicial representatives of the French
govirnnient including .lMarshal Foch.
Numeroius distinguished members' of
ailled officialdom who had coie to
Pay itribute ro thei American dead
also lieard the presideit's words.
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. This
(al 1 done. It luist b done. And
it wl I be (done.
