"Must Destroy Autocracy" HrVson President Answers All Peace-Feelers in Great Address Delivered At the Tomb of Washington in America's Second Declaration Of Independence On Nation's Birthday,

WASHINGTON-. July .'.-Prom the i-ha 'low of Vashinyton's total Prü"t VtiMn today offered America's declaration of lnic pendence to (

the peoples of the world with a pl-dg tli.it the United Mate and its a Hie m, ill not sheath the hword in the war aain.-t the central powers until th re "is . ttled onct: and for all" for th- world what was bcttlfd tor America in 1770. Foreign born citizens of the United States, nationalities who had pl tO' l wnnths of palms on the tomb in token of fealty to the priniples laid down by the father of his country. ried their approval of ills words, in many lanuaes and then stood with reerer.tly bared heads while the voice of John McCormack soared over the hallowed around in the rotes of the "tar Spangled Fanner." Va.JiiiKtfn Siko for Ail. "Washington anti his associate.. Ilk" the. barons at Kunnymede, ?poke and acted not for a class, but for a pecde," tho president said. "It has b-n left for us to sec to it that it .-dial I ho understood that they spoke and ated, not for a single people only, hut for all mankind. We hire in America believe our participation in this present war to be only thu fruitage- of what they planted. "There can be but one issue. The settlement mu be final. There can be no compromise. "What we ek is the rein of law based on the consent of the governed tnd sustained by the organized opinion of mankind." The speaker's words as he emphasized the least which America will consider as a basis for peace wc re interrupted by a tumult of applause and wiurds of approval in many tongues. Th" demonstration swept beyond VJie wall of khaki clad marines to the thousands of Americans scattered over the hills and through the woods surrounding Washington's hevme. Ira for AH I 'copies. Klaboraim the purposes for which the "associated peoples of tho world' are hirnon,-, the president reiterated tiiat p at e can. be made only when the central powers asTce to the destruction of miltiarism. the consent of the Koverncd for all readjustments. t' e sacnedncs of treaties and, the organization of a leteuo of pej.ee. He further forestalled any oJlers of pestce by compromise by which the central powers may '.lake by announcing that the purpose for which the United Stales is sending millions of its nun to the trenches may not be fulfilled around a council table. "These reat ends cannot be achieved by debating." the president asserted, "and seeking to reconcile t and accommodate what statesmen may wish, with their projects for balances of power and of national opportunity. They can be realised only by the distribution of what the thinking peoples of the world defire, with th'ir lormin.; hope for justice and for social freedom and opportunity." Allies An rniticd. Throughout his addr-s the president referred to "the peoples" who are fighting attainst autocracy.

stressing thereby the untiy of purpose which actuates the allied nations. On the other hand, he differentiated betwee i the people, of

Germany and their rulers as he always has done, speaking of the isolated, friendless proup of governments whoje people are fuel in their hands. A single reference to Russia gave notice to the world that the United States still accounts that people of tho youngest democracy, as allies. Pres't Wilson enumerated the opponents of Germany as peoples of many races. "The people of stricken Russia still, amonff the rest, though they are for the moment unorganized and helpless," he said. Uspecial Interest attached to his word, particularly to the statement that Russia's distress is only temporary because of plans now being; formulated for giving assistance to the country. Boris Kahkmetieff, who was tent here as Russian ambassador during the Kerensky regime, was in the audience. The President's Sicech. The president's speech in full was as follows: "Gentlemen of the diplomatic corps and my fellow citizens: "I am happy to draw apart with you to this quiet place of old counsel in order to speak a little of the meaning of this day to our nation's Independence. The place seems very small and remote. It is as serene and untouched by the hurry of the world as It was in those preat days long apo when Gen. Washington was here and held leisurely conference with the men who were to be associated with him in the creation of a nation. From these gentle tdopes they looked out upon the world and saw it whole, saw it with the light of the future upon it, ww it with modern eyes that turned away from a past which men of liberated spirits could no longer endure. It is for that reason that we cannot feel, even here, in the immediate presence of this sacred tomb, that this is a place of death. It was a place of achievement. A great promise that was meant for all mankind was here given plan and reality. The associations by which we are here surrounded are the inspiriting associations of that noble death which Is only a glorious consummation. From this green hillside we also ought to be able to see with comprehending eyes the world that lies about us and should conceive anew the purposes that must set men free. Significant of Character. "It is significant, significant of their own character and purpose and of the influences they were setting afoot. that Washington and his associates, like the barons at Runnymede. spoke and acted, not for a class, but for a people. It has been left for us to see to it that it shall be understood that they spoke and acted not for a single people only, but for all mankind. They were thinking, not of themselves and of the material interests which centered in the little groups of landholders and merchants and men of affairs whom they were accustomed to act, in Virginia and the colonies to the north and south of her. but

of a pople which wished to he dene with classe and special interests and the authority of men whom they had not themselves chosen to rub over them. They entertained no private purpose, desired no peculiar privilege. They were corsciously planning that men of every class

should be free anil America a place i cd pie;

to which men out of every nation mipht resort who wished to share with them the rights and privileges of free men. And we take our cue from them, do we not? We intend what thy intended. We here in America believe our partic ipatiori in the present war to be only the fruitage of what they planted. Our case differs from theirs only in this, that it Is our Inestimable privilege to concert with men out of every nation what shall make not only thr liberties of America secure but the liberties of every other people as well. We are happy in the thought that we are permitted to do what they would have done had they been in our place. There must now b settled once for all what was settled for America in the great ;:ge upon whose Inspiration we draw today. This is surely a fitting place from which calmly to look out upon out task, that we may fortify our spirits for its accomplishment. And this Is the appropriate place from which to avow, alike to the friends who look on and to the friends with whom we have the happiness to be associated in action, the faith and purpose with which we act. Plot is Plain. "This, then, is our conception f the great struggle in which we are engaged. The plot is written plain upon every seene and every act of the supreme tragedy. nn the one hand stand the peoples of the world. not orly the peoples actually engaged, but many others also who suffer under mastery but cannot a t; peoples of many races and in eery part of the world, the people of stricken Russia, still, anion;; the rest, though they art for the moment unorganized and helpless. Opposed to the-'., masters of many armies, stand an isolated, friendless group of governments who speak no common purpose but only selfish ambitions of their own by which none can profit but themselves, and whose peoples are fuel in their hands; governments which fear their people and yet are for the time their sovereign lords, making every choice for them and disposing of their lives and fortunes as they will, as well as of the lives and fortunes of every people who fall under their power, governments clothed with the strange trappings and the primitive authority of an age that Is altogether alien ami hostile to our own. The past and the present are in deadly grapple and he peoples of the world are being dene to death between them. Settlement Must he Final. "There can be but one issue. The settlement nuin be final. There can be no compromise. No half-way decision would be tolerable. No halfway decision is conceivable. These are the ends lor which the associated peoples of the world are fiht-

"These great objects can be put into a single sentenee. What we seek is the reit;n of law. based upon the consent of the --rovernod and sustained by the organized opinion f mankind. Debating Vc Atnil. "These great ends can not be achieved by debating and seeking to reconcile and accommodate what statesmen may wish, with their projects for balances of power and of national opportunity. They can be realized only by the determination of what th thinking peoples of the world desire. with their longing hope for justice and for social freedom and opportunity.

The blinded rulers of I'russia have roused forces they knew little of, forces which, once roused, can never be crushed to earth again: for they

and of the very stuff of triumph!' I'receding the president's address, Felix .Streyckmans of Chicago, a native of Belgium and chairman of the committee of foreign nationalities, made public confession of the devotion of the foreign born to the home of their adoption. "With the spirit of Washington leading, America entered the battle line and we entered with her." he cit clared. "The casualty lists of the morrow, bringing sorrow to sonic homes and resolution to all, will be tilled with strange names derived from foreign blood. We will never cease to struggle until freedom is secured for us and for our American sons and daughters." Fdeal Weather.

During th. trip to and from Mount Vernon on the Mayilower, rres't Wilson had many intimate personal talks with the representatives of people who have left their natie lands to find homes in America.
