IPresident Wilson Pledges the
United States and Allies to
No Compromise
JUYS MILITARY RULE
-Chief Executive Forcibly Outlines Aims
for Which America and Associates
Will Not Sheathe the Sword
Until They Are Accomplished.

Washington, July 5.President Wil
eon in his Fourth of July address at
Mount Vernon said:
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 of
onr natfon's independence. The place
seems very still and remote. It is as
serene and untouched by the hurry of
the world as it was in those great days
long ago when General Washington
-was here and held leisurely conference
with the men who were to be asso
ciated with him in the creation of a
naatton From these gentle slopes they
looked out upon the world and saw
-It whole, saw it with the light of the
future upon It,* saw it with modern
eyes that turned away from a past
-Which men of liberated spirits could
mo longer endure. It is for that rea
son, that we cannot feel even here,
In the Immediate presence of this
acred 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 in
spiriting associations of that noble
death which is only a glorious con
summation. 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 tbe purposes that must set men
Iree.
H. is significant*significant of their
own character and purpose and of the
Influences they were setting afoot
Tthat Washington and his associates,
THke 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 ot for a single
people only, but for all mankind. They
were thinking, not of themselves and
.of the material interests which cen
tered in the little group of landowners
and merchants, and men of affairs with
whom they were accustomed to act,
In Virginia and the colonies to the
north and south of her, but of a people
'Which wished to be done with classes
and special interests and the authority
of men whom they had not themselves
chosen to rule over them.
ft T-ofty Inspiration Found.
They entertained no private pur
-pose, desired no peculiar privilege.
"They were consciously planning that
men oT every class should be free, and
America a place to which men out of
very nation might resort who wished
to share with them the rights and
privileges of free men. And we take
our cue trom themdo we not? We
intend what they intended. We here
in America believe our participation
in this present war to be only the
fruitage of what they planted. Our
ease 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 the liber
ties of America secure but the liber
ties 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 be settled once for
all what was settled for America in
the great age upon whose inspiration
draw today. This is surely a fit
ting place from which calmly to look
out upon our task, that we may fortify
oar 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 pur
with which we act.
There Can Be Only One End.

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, gov
ernments which fear their people and
yet are for the time their sovereign
lords, making every.choice for them
and disposing of their lives and for
tunes as they will, as well as of the
lives and fortunes of every people who
fall under their powergovernments,
clothed with the strange trappings
and the primitive authority of an age
that is altogether alien and hostile to
our own. The past and the present
are in deadly grapple and the peoples
of the world are being done to death
between them.
There can be but one issue. The
settlement must be final. There cam
be no compromise. No half-way de
cision would be tolerable. No half
way decision is conceivable.
Why U. S. and Allies Are Fighting.
These are the ends for which the
associated peoples of the world are
fighting and which must be conceded
them before there can be peace.
FirstThe destruction of every ar
bitrary power anywhere that can sep
arately, secretly, and on its single
choice disturb the peace of the world,
or, if it cannot be presently destroyed,
as the least its reduction to virtual im
potence.
SecondThe settlement of every
question, whether of territory or of
sovereignty, of economic arrangement,
or of political relationship, upon the
basis of the free acceptance of that
settlement by the people immediately
concerned, and not upon the basis of
the material interest or advantage of
any other nation or people which may
desire a different settlement for the
sake of its own exterior influence.or
mastery-
ThirdThe consent of all nations
to be governed in their conduct to
wards each other by the same princi
ples of honor and of respect for the
common law of civilized society that
govern the individual citizens of all
modern states in their relations with
one another to the end that all prom
ises and covenants may be sacredly
observed, no private plots or conspi
racies hatched, no selfish injuries
wrought with impunity, and a mutual
trust established upon the handsome
foundation of a mutual respect for
right.
FourthThe establishment of' an
organization of peace which shall make
it certain that the combined power of
free hations will check every invasion
of right and serve to make peace and
justice the more secure by affording a
definite tribunal of opinion to which
all must submit and by which every
international readjustment that can
not be amicably agreed upon by the
peopels directly concerned shall be
sanctioned.
Deathless Effort Against Foe.
These great objects can be put into
a single sentence:
What we seek is the reign of law,
based upon the consent of the gov
erned and sustained by the organized
opinion of mankind.
These great ends cannot be achieved
by debating and seeking to reconcile
and accommodate what statesmen
may wish, with their projects for bal
ances of power and of national oppor
tunity. They can be realized only by
the determination of what tbe think
ing peoples of the world desire, with
their longing hope for justice and for
social freedom and opportunity.
I can fancy that the air of this place
carries the accents of such principles
with a peculiar kindness. Here were
started forces which the great nation
against which they were primarily di
rected at first regarded as a revolt
against its rightful authority, but
which it has long since seen to have
been a step in the liberation of its
own people as well as of the people of
the United States, and I stand here
now to speakspeak proudly and with
confident hopeof the spread of this
revolt, this liberation, to the great
stage of the world itself.
The blinded rulers of-Prussia have
roused forces they knew little of
forces which, 'once roused, can never
be crushed to earth again for they
have at their heart an inspiration and
a purpose which are deathless and of
the very stuff of triumph.

tion of the remaining 18 vessels, in
