WILSON TELLS SENATE LEAGUE IS NECESSITY

and begun the rout tha.' was to save Europe and the world. "Thereafter the Germans were to be always forced back, back; were never to thrust successfully forward again. And yet there was no confident hope. "Anxious men and women, leading spirits of France, attended the celebration of the Fourth of July last year In Paris out of generous courtesy—with no heart for festivity, little zest for hope. "But they camea way with something new in their hearts. They have themselves told us so. The mere sight of our men —of their vigor, of the confitfience that showed itself in every movement of their stalwart figures. "A great moral fore* had flung itself into the struggle. Their very presence brought reassurance. Their fighting made victory certain.

Yanks Were Crusaders. “They were recognized as crusaders, and as their thousands swelled to millions their strength was seen to mean salvation. And they were fit men to carry such a hope and make good the assurance it forecast. “Finer men never went into battle; and their officers were worthy of them. ‘‘But I speak now of what they meant to the men by whose sides they fought, and to the people with whom they mingled with such utter simplicity, as friends who asked only to be of service. They were for all the visible embodiment of America. “What they did made America and all that she stood for a living reality in the thoughts not only of the people of France, but also of tens of millions of men and women throughout all the toiling nations of a world standing everywhere in peril of its freedom and of the loss of everything it held dear, in deadly fear that Its bonds were never to be loosed, its hopes forever to be mocked and disappointed. Duty at Peace Table. "And the compulsion of what they stood for was upon us who represented America at the peace table. "It was our duty to do everything that it was within our power to do to make the triumph of freedom and of right a lasting triumph in the assur-' ance of which men might everywhere live without fear. “Old entanglements of every kind stood in the way. “It had been our privilege to formulate the principles which were accepted as the basis of the peace, but they had been accomplished, not ‘because we had come in to hasten and assure the victory and insist upon them, but because they were readily accepted to as the principle to which honorable and enlightened minds everywhere had V©© n bred. “They spoke the conscience of the world as the conscience of America, and I am happy to pay my tribute of respect and gratitude to the able, for-ward-looking men with whom it was my privilege to co-operate for their unfailing spirit of co-operation, their constant effort to accommodate the Interests they represented to the principles we were all agreed upon. - “The central empires had lived in open violation of many of the very rights for which the war had been fought, dominating alien peoples over whom they had no natural right to rule, enforcing not obedience, but vertlable bondage, exploiting those who were weak for the benefit of those who were masters and overlords only by force of arms. “There could be no peace until the whole order of central Europe was set right. “It was the imperative task of those who would make peace and make It Intelligently to establish a new order which would rest upon the free_cholce

of peoples rather "than upon the arbitrary authority of Hapsburgs or Hohenzollerns. "Peoples hitherto in utter darkness were to be led out Into the same light and given at Inst a helping hand. Common Agency Needed. “Future international conventions with regard to the control of waterways, with regard to Illicit traffic of many kinds, in arms or in deadly drugs, or with regard to the adjustment of many varying International administrative arrangements, could not be assured if the treaty were to provide no permanent common international agency, if its execution in such matters was to be left to the slow and uncertain processes of cooperation by ordinary methods of negotiation. •The idea of the league as a necessity to safegunrd counsels and maintain the peaceful understandings of the world, to make, not treaties alone, but the accepted principles of international law as well, the actual rule of conducst among the governments of the world, had been one of the agreements accepted from the first as the basis of peace with the central powers. The statesmen of all the belligerent countries were agreed to sustain the settlements that were to be effected. "The League Wf Nations was the practical statesman’s hope of success In many of the most difficult things he was attempting.

Old Policy Meant Force. "War had lain at the heart of every arrangement of the Europe—of every arrangement of the world —that preceded the war. Restive people had been told that fleets and armies, which they toiled to sustain, meant peace; and they now know that they had been lied to; that fleets and armies had been maintained to promote national ambitions and meant war. They knew that no old policy meant anything else but force, force —always force. And they knew that it was intolerable. Every true heart in the world, and every enlightened judgment demanded that, at whatever cost of Independent action, every government that took thought for its people or for justice or for ordered freedom should lend itself to a new purpose and utterly destroy the old order of International politics. Statesmen might see difficulties, but the people could see none and could brook no denial. A war In which they had been bled white to beat the terror that lay concealed in every balance of power must not end in a mere victory of arms and a new balance. The monster that had resorted to arms must be put in chains that could not be broken.” ~

TRIBUNE EDITOR GOT HIS SALARY

ORDERED NONE PAID TO EM. PLOYS* WHO ENTERED SERVICE BUT TOOK Hl* OWN AGAINST WAR WITH GERMANY Joseph Medlll Patterson and Writer of “Million Dollar Editorial” Testify In Defense of Paper ' In the Ford Case. ML Clemens, Mich.—Witnesses for Ths Chicago Tribune in its defense of its action in labelling Henry Ford an “anarchist" included Joseph Medlll Patterson, one of the editors of The Tribune and Clifford S. Raymond, writer of what is now known as the “million dollar editorial.” In the course of the testimony it was developed that Mr. Patterson issued an order when Tribune men began to enter the service of the country after the United States entered the war, that no wages were to be paid to the departing men, whether they had dependants or not, but that he personally continued to draw his salary of $20,000 a year after he went to France. Both Mr. Patterson and Mr. Raymand also testified that they knew Germany wanted to see the United States at war with Mexico but that despite this fact The Tribune continued to urge intervention in Mexico and to oppose war with Germany. This was drawn out on cross-examin-ation by counsel for Mr. Ford in an endeavor to show that The Tribune was pro-German up to the time the United States entered the war.

Arrested in Belgium Counsel for Mr. Ford asked Mr. Patterson if it was not trus that he had gone to Germany during the early days of the world war for the purpose of writing the German side of the controversy. Mr. Patterson denied this and counsel then introduced a oopy of The Tribune in which the announcement was made that Mr. Patterson was being sent to Germany to get the German point of view. The witness admitted having been arrested in Belgium, on leaving Germany, on a charge that he had written proGerman articles. “In The Tribune you opposed and denounced war with Germany, didn’t you?*’ asked Ford counsel. “We did not oppose war, we discouraged it,” answered Mr. Patterson. "We had been at close quarters and we knew what an awful thing it was.” “But you advocated war with Mexico.” - “We advocated Intervention.” “Well, doesn’t intervention mean war?" "Usually.”

Advocated Taking Mexico "You advocated the taking of Mexico too, didn’t you?” Tha witness waa Alined to deny this until shown a copy of The Tribune in which the selsure of Mexico was urged editorially and then aswered "Yes.” Mr. Raymond, when asked by counsel on cross-examination why The Tribune excoriated Theodore Roosevelt because of his utterances following the sinking of the Lusitania, said he believed such talk was not helpful to the government in reaching a decision, and that calmness was desirable. "Did you ever argue for calmness when a border difficulty arose ?” asked Ford counsel. "I think not,” answered the witness. "You used some pretty violent language yourself, didn’t you?” “I believe we did.” Upon direct examination Mr. Raymond denied knowledge of the International Harvester Co., and Standard Oil Co., stocks held by relatives of the editors and publishers of The Tribune and also denied interference with his editorial utterances. Mr. Patterson likewise denied that Standard Oil or the International Harvester have Jmd any effect on The Tribune’s editorial policies. Mr. Patterson admitted having once been a member of the socialist party.. Ford counsel offered in evidence Mr. Patterson’s book, “A Little Brother of the Rich” in an effort to prove that Mr. Patterson once held views similar to those attributed to Henry Ford. It was n'ot admitted. Writer Too “Pro-British” The witness admitted having discharged Frederick Wm. Weil, The Tribune’s London correspondent, before the United States entered the war. Counsel for Ford asked if Weil was told that his articles were too pro-Ally. "Too pro-Brltish is what I probably said,” returned the editor. Col. Henry J. Reilly, commander of the famous artillery regiment from Chicago, known as "Reilly’s Bucks” took the stand and testified as a “military expert to the necessity for intervention in Mexico. °A long deposition was also read from James W. Gerard, former U. 8. Ambassador to Germany, placing the •’ blame for Mexica tponbles at Germany’s door
