The President spoke In the great (white marble amphitheater on the outskirts of the cemetery overlooking the capital. ' * In his audience, which numbered thousands, were the blue and gray uniformed veterans of the Civil strife and klmki-clad veterans of the World war. The President said, in part: “Today the sons and daughters of other lands are placing laurels on American gravest and our Memorial day has beeome an international occasion, it calls up opportunity for many lands and countries to help in its observance; equally to them and to us, It is a reminder of our common troth to civilization, humanity and everlasting justice. “I counsel no selfishness, no little Americanism, no mere parochialism, I urge that our- first duty is to our own, and that in the measure of , its performance we will find the true gauge of our capacity to be helpful to others. "Freedom is not to be crowded upon those who will not have it, but the privilege, was opened wide to the vanquished communities which sought to take it from others. We do Dot yet know whether the defeated and unwilling beneficiaries will be able to tgrasp this boon. We cannot tell whether they will pay the price required to maintain the freedom to which the door has been opened. We do know that our sons and brothers afforded them the opportunity. “We found ourselves as a people, occupying a place of vast responsibility to the world. It -required submergence of selfish ends. But I am not connseltng surrendered Independence, Our maintained freedom is the only source of our might. Only the American conscience may command this republic,“With the return Os peace, industrial discipline was thrown aside not ■only in this country, but In every country that was in the war.- A break•down of morale accompanied it and we find ourselves 'halting when we ought to move forward. We need a patriotism resolute in peace as well as a patriotism aflame in war. ■ “Only a few days ago I saw more than 5,000 flag-draped coffins, tenanted with their heroic dead. Jhiirs was mute eloquence’ in protesting jvars, itheFrs >yas the supreme appeal for war’s avoidance. The way to preserve honor without material wants and tha costlier human sacrifice would ’’be the surpassing memorial tribute. AVe may not besfow It today, but we mlTy fittingly resolve that the Influence and example, of our America shall point'dig way to such lofty achieve : megt." * V dsjr Auckland Geddes, the British accentuated the jnijsjessive'solemnity of tTTe memorial ceremonies witli fijgh tribute for the part of the United States Tn the great conflict. Unannounced, and acJompanied only by a British naval officer, bearing a huge wreath of red roses, the British envoy appeared on the rostrum at the conclusion of the President’s ad■dress. Turning to the President he said: "In the name of my king, George V, in the name of the people, of the Uni-, ted Kingdom, of India, and of the British dependencies and communities throughout the world —in token of their admiration of the gallantry and devotion of American sons and daughters in the great war; in evidence of their sympathy with America, .who today mourns and glorifies her dead; „ in undimmed memory of the sacrifices that America has made for individual - liberty, , and with/y’our permission, Mr. - President, I lpy this wreath on the flag of America."
