Many of President Wilson's admirers are of the opinion that his funeral oration over the sailors who laid down their lives in their country's service at Vera Cruz will go down in history as a "classic of its k kind. Below we give the full text of * the President's oration: "Mr Secretary: I know that the feelings which characterize all who stand about me and the whole nation at this hour are not feelings which can be suitably expressed in terms of attempted oratory or eloquence. They are things too deep for ordinary speech. For my own part, I have a singular mixture of feelings. . "The feeling that is uppermost is I one of profound grief that these lads W should have had to go to their death, and yet there is mixed with that grief a profound pride that they should have gone as they did, and if I may say it out of my heart,a touch of envy of those who were permitted so quietly, so nobly, to do their duty. "Have you thought of it, men? Here is the roster of the navy, the list of the men, officers and enlisted men and marines, and suddenly L there swim nineteen stars out of the ' list?men who have suddenly gone into a firmament of memory, where we shall always see their names shine; not because they called upon us, bat because they served ua, without asking any questions and in the performance of a duty which is laid upon us, as well as upon them. HEKUE5, TUU, in rtAtc-r ub wauao. "Duty is not an uncommon thing:, gentlemen. Men are performing it in the ordinary walks of life all around us all the time, and they are s. making great sacrifices to perform it. What gives men like these peculiar distinction is not merely that they did their duty, hut that their duty had nothing to Ho with them or their own personal and peculiar i tif1 rests. F "They did not give th"ir lives for || .nomselves. Tbey ^ivi their lives ' jr as, because w. ? upon them ^is a nation to per;' .r.n . i unexpect| ed duty. "That is the way in which men grow distinguishe < and that is the i ? way, by serving somebody else L k . ' w";. K 'l ? 4 ?

And what greater thing could "you serve than a nation such as this we love and are proud of? Are you sorry for these lads? Are you sorry for the way they will be remembered? Does it not quicken your pulses to think of the list of them? I hope to God none of you will join the list, but if you do, you will join an immortal company. "So, while we are profoundly sorrowful, and while there goes out of our hearts a very deep and affectionate sympathy for the friends and relatives of these lads who for the rest of their lives shall mourn them, though with a touch of pride, I we know why we do not go away from this occasion cast down, but with our heads lifted and our eyes on the future of this country, with absolute confidence of how it will be worked out. Not only upon the mere vague future of this country, but the immediate future. WAR NOT OUR SEEKING. " We have gone down to Mexico to serve mankind, if we can find out *' J- --i 4. i me way. vye uo qui worn, vu u^u-, the Mexicans. We want to serve the Mexicans if we can, because we know we would like to be free and how we would like to be served if there were friends standing by ready to serve us. A war of aggression is not a war in which it is a proud thing to die, but a war of service is a thing in which it is a proud thing to die. "Notice that these men were of our blood. I mean of our American blood, which is not drawn from any one stock, which is not drawn from any one language of the modern world; but free men everywhere have sent their sons and their brothers and their daughters to this country in order to make that great compounded nation which consists of all the sturdy elements and of all the best elements of the whole globe. "I listened again to this list with a profound interest at the mixture of the names,for the names bear the marks of the several national stocks from which these men came. But they are not Irishmen or Germans or Frenchmen or Hebrews any more. They were not when they went to Vera Cruz; they were Americans,every one of them, and with no difference in their Americanism because of the stock from which they came. "DID THINGS THAT WERE AMERICAN." "Therefore, they were in a peculiar sense of our blood and they proved it by showing: that they were of our spirit?that no matter what LUES! made from charcoal iron, high! i last and can take care of evei em, and to take care of your or experienced flue makers and pu from us.

I Wow nrantlomon is nnlv a Rftrf nf i dramatic representation, a nrt of i dramatic symbol of a thousand forms s of duty. f "I never went into battle, I never i was under fire; but I fancy that there c are some things just as hard to do \ as to go under fire. I fancy that it i is just as hard to do your duty when 1 men are sneering at you as when they are shooting at you. When d I LUtry ailUUl at JUU UICJ vau UUIJ wnv ; your natural life; when they sneer i at you they can wound your heart, \ and men who are brave enough, a steadfast enough, steady in their ? principles enough to go about their a duty with regard to their fellow e men, no matter whether there are S hisses or cheers, men who can do t what Rudyard Kipling in one of his \ poems wrote, 'Meet with triumph v and disaster and treat those two im- i postors just the same,* are men for e a nation to be proud of. i ALL ENLISTED TO SERVE COUNTRY. "Morally speaking, disaster and c triumph are impostors. The cheera ( of the moment are not what a man 8 ought to think about,butthe verdict r of his conscience and of the consciences of mankind. j "So,when I look at you I feel as.if t I also and we all were enlisted men. 8 9ot indeed enlisted in your particular branch of the service.but enlisted to 8 serve the country, no matter what t I may come, what though we may e waste our nve9 m me arduous tu- r deavor. r "We are expected to put the ut- a most energy of ^very power that we j have into the service of our fellow 11 men, never sparing ourselves, not' j condescending to think of what is j going to happen to ourselves, but! c ready, if need be, to go to the utter j l, length of complete self-sacrifice. 11 "As I stand and look at you to- * day and think of these spirits that have gone from us, I know that the road is clearer for the future. These n boys have shown us the way and it jj is easier to walk in it because they a have gone before and shown us how. a "May God grant to all of us that t vision of patriotic service which here c in solemnity and grief and pride is G borne in upon our hearts and con- ii ! sciences."
