'PRESIDENT WILSON'S
FUNERAL ORATION
OVER NAVAL HEROES ESTEEMED
A CLASSIC OF ITS KIND
inc. ruu. itAi.
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

than themselves. 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

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

their derivation, no matter where
their people came from,they thought
and wished and did the things that i
were American, and the flag under
which they served was a flag in
which all the blood of mankind is \

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
