LINCOLN’S GETTYSBURG ADDRESS, DELIVERED
NOVEMBER 19, 1863
* * ?
♦ i,
Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new. na
tion. conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so
conceived and s 6 dedicated, can long endure. YVe are met on a great battlefield of that war. !
We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting-place of those who here
gave their lives that that nation might live. It ife altogether fitting and proper that we should
do this. |}
But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate—we cannot consecrate —we cannot hallow—
this ground. The brave men. living and dead, who struggled here have consecrated it, far
above our poor pow'er to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember,
what we say here, hut it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather,
to he dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so no
bly advanced. !t i.*^rather for us to he here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—
that from these honored head we take increased devotion to that cause fbr which they gave
the last full measure of devotion —that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have
die’d in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a n<hv birth of freedom—and that gov
ernment of the people, by the people, for the, people, shall not perish from the earth.

RECLAMATION CONGRESS
ATTRACTS ATTENTION
Four Day Conference Scheduled lo Open
at New Orleans Today.
Washington, D. C\, Nov. 19. —Wash-
ington is watching with considerable* in
terest the four-day conference which is
scheduled to open at New Orleans to- <
day for the consideration of all phases
j and problems concerned in land reelama-I
tion. utilization and settlement, par
ticularly in the South. , The* gathering
meets under the joint aspiees of the j
Southern Settlement and Development l
’Organizations, the Florida and Missis
sippi Development Boards, the S mthern
Pine Association, and the several eem- !
mercial bodies of New Orleans.
The conference is regarded its filled
with interesting possibilities. No se
cret. is made of the fact that it is a new |
step in the plans of Southerners to get ;
a “square deal” or their share of the
so-called “pork,” Special attention will
be given to the utilization and settlement
e?f cut over lands of the South, as well
as the arid and semi-arid lands of the
West. The West hats been invited to
participate in the conference. Accord
ing to tlip promoters of the movement one
more effort is to be made to bring about
a real working agreement between tiie
South and West. If this fails then th*
threatened fight in Congress Is expected
to go forward.
The new head of the reclamation ser
vise, former Governor David W. Davis,
"f Idaho x is fe jpn*tiring
Riit popular wiVh the Southern reclama
tion enthuisast. They charge that while
connected with the Western States Re
clamation Association he* was opposed
to permitting the South to share in the
Federal reclamation and land settlement
program. The dropping of Arthur
Davis, who proceeded the present direc
tor. may be taken up at the New Or
leans conference.

THE BREAK BETWEEN
GERMANY
AVERTED EOR PRESENT
Agreement in Principle Was
Reached by Representa
tives of Allies Assembled
in Council of Ambassadors
FRENCH AND BELGIAN
CABINETS TO MEET
Early This Afternoon It Is
Expected That They Will
Approve Formula Agreed
Upon by Representatives.
Paris, Nov. 10 (By the Associated
Press). —An agreement in principle was
reached by representatives of the allies
assembled in council of ambassadors to
day which means that, the break between
France and Great Britain on the atti
tude to be taken toward Germany is
averted at least temporarily.
It was announced after the meeting
that the ambassadors had agreed in prin
ciple on measures to be taken toward
the resumption of allied military control
in Germany. The agreement is subject
to approval of the French and Belgian
chabinet meetings called for early in the
afternoon.
The French cabinet is expected to ap
prove the formula agreed upon. The
Belgian ambassador got into communica
tion with Brussels and was understood
to be' asking for the government’s deci
sion on the new agreement. It is un
derstood that the agreement calls for
sending to Germany a protest against
the lack of facilities furnished the work
ers of the military patrol mission but
without mentioning what action the al
lies might., take in ease flic Germans
failed to give the required assurances of
protection for the mission.
The French are understood to have
made reservations on the question of pen
alties. If the approval of France and
Belgium is accorded the (ambassadors
plan to meet again at 6. o'clock and put
the finishing touches on the text of the
communication to be sent to Germany.
The council of ambassadors recon
