reference to the present European
'gre was heard with Seep infer-
hy a crowd that filled the Rrand

prvnr was master of his object, and
he held the undivided attention of his

Mr. Bryan's Speech.
Mr. Bryan discussed his subject
under the following heads: . War as
it is and its injurious effects upon
neutrals; false philosofphyfo and its
outcome in the present conflict; the
wav to a permanent-peace among the
nations.
In answering the argument of thosei
vho maintain that, in order to prevent
war a nation must be prepared for
war, Mr. Bryan -considered .tatanC
-'w considering the way out; to-HR COUNTY SUNDAY SCHOOIi
V
. r .
act nf honor that must be estab-
lished, and is established by every
nation. That of Europe, herfleclaTed
is the standard of- ttjeT'duelistj who
when challenged to "an affair of hon
or," must forget everythfiitix family
anri children, to engage in deadly
combat to protect the honor 'Of his
name. That standard in the United
States is repudiated. Instead of the
man who refuses a challenge being
stamped as a coward, the man who
extends the challenge is so stamped.
The standard of the individual. de
clared Mr. Bryan, should likewise be
vi standard of a nation." W
Mr. Bryan asserted that the argu
ment of preparedness emanates sole
ly from those who have the prepared
ness for sale, at some much per "pre-
pare." There is no nation that de
sires to fight this country or is pre
paring to fight it; but if the United
States were to begin preparation on a
hitr Kraifi to fieht some other nation,
that nation would naturally become
fricrhtened and likewise begin prep
arations. The eventuality would ul
tircately be war, not in spite of the
preparations but because of them..
The cause of the present European
war is that the nations over there
have been following the principle
that "might makes right," said Mr.
Bryan. In order to follow that prin
ciple, every commandment of the
Prince of Peace must be repudiated.
It is a false philosophy, fot the Indi
vidual, he declared, "and a-f alse one
fo: the nation.
if this country should ever be at
tacked, Mr. Bryan said it would be
defended not by the jingoes but by
the people who work. He reviewed
the possibilities of such an attack
and attempted to show to his audi
ence that such is impracticable. And,
on the other hand, he attempted to
show to them what an expenditure
for the preparedness as demanded by
the jingoes would mean in retarding
prosperity; what this money would
mean if it were devoted to the work
of upbuilding the country's industries
but not the munitions industry
Anyway, he said, this country can
not change its policy now as to prep
arations for wai; to do so would be
but to admit that the nations of Eu
rope, which prepared for the present
conflict for a generation have been
right all the while. And, last but by
no means least, he desires thatthis
country maintain its position of
aloofness from the degradations of
war that it may serve as the media
tor to lift the bleeding; nations of
Europe from the darkness of war in
to the lierht. of a. erreat f uture - of
brotherhood and good, fellowships
Mr. Bryan declared that if the
United States had been prepared for
war as the nations of Europe were
Prepared, this country 4 would be en
gaged in the conflict Tij&wsvi. Bryan
took occasion to express hisgratiture
that the man who occupies the Whit
House is not a jingo. 'He said he, was
Proud of the fact that theSUuited
States has a president with the tem
rity to say that his country -is too
Proud to fight. He considers . this I
Position the " embodiment of -the
American spirit. He thinks the men.
ho are clamoring for war should
permanent -peace, . Mr. Bryan de
dared that the present conflict can
not he :carried on until . one t side,, is
annihilated. - THie people themselves
WM;oji?staW
beiu nieiligalnst civilization; With
such groat r masses . of people repre-
itea pn tne opposing sides, he also
eltminated the possibility of terms be
I dictated to a vanquished nation-
or nations. isThe. .one, and only way
but, he said,- is for the nations re-
ilnin g tieutralfor the United
Statesto. bring the belligerents to
gether with bonds of fellowship. , -
As, to .theL future, after the presj-
ent" conflict has beeome a matter of
history; he thinks that there tnust be
a new order of things in the matter of
understanding among nations. Tho
treaties ofthe past, the treaties-with
a five-year limit and with provisions
to' submit matters to arbitration with
exceptions, named that cover pradti-
Miaiiy every cause of war Known to
history, he considers Obsolete. To
replace them he offers the new treaty
framed" by the present ' administra
tion, a treaty without limit as to its
term of life and which submits every
question to arbitration without ex
ception"; that cannot be terminated
except by formal notice 12 months
in advance; and that borbids war in
thiC interim- a condition that fore-
stails action under excitement.
-' " Entertained In Broobi Home.
... Mr.'. Bryan finished his speech . in
Winston-Salem, in the afternoon too
late' to catch the train for Greens
boro andwas brought to this city
by automobile, . . a-rriyihg .' about '6
o'clock.
The party made a brief stop at the
State Normal and Industrial College,
where Mr. Bryan addressed the stu
dents, who had assembled in" ; the din
ing hall for supper. Mr. Bryan's
first speech in North Carolina s was
made at the Normal College, at the
commencement of 1894.
