j America was victorious in the war,
and came to a position where she
could develop her power and resour
ces. The United States became one
of the great and prosperous nations
of the world. But the circumstances
i of her inception have laid a peculiar
obligation upon her. She must stand
as the champion of freedom or be re
creant to her own traditions.
Our entrance into the war with Ger
many is the logical outcome of this
position. We were predestined to It.
The United 8tates could not watch
unmoved the spectacle of a great ar
bitrary power, utterly unscrupulous
as to means, using lu mighty resour
ces and it? strong military system to
ward the enslavment of Europe.
Our national holiday this year will
be both a celebration and a solemni
