I need not tell you what lav bark
of this great movement of men and
mpltsh I am proud to bo the
fellow countryman of men of such
stuff and valour. Thoso of us who
stayed at homo did our duty; the
war could not have been won or the
gallant men who fought It given
their opportunity to win It otherwise;
but for many a long day we shall
think ourselves "accurs'd we were
not there, and hold our manhoods
cheap while any speaks that fought"
with these at St. Mlhlel or Thierry.
The memory of those days of tri
umphant battle will go with these
fortunate men to their graves; and
each will have his favorite memiy.

Knterool at C'riliml Moment.
What we all thank God for with
deepest trratltude Is that our men
went In force Into the line of battle
.lust at the critical moment when the
whole fate of the wontd seemed to
hajig In the balance and threw their
fresh etrt4:th Into the ranks of free

and sweep of the fateful struggle -
turn It once for all, so that thence-

The least tribute we ran pay them
la to make them the equals of men In
political rights as they have proved
themselves their equals In every
field of practical work they have
entered, whether for themselves or
for their country. These great days
of completed achievement would be
sadly marred were we to omit that
act of Justice. Besides the Immense
practical services they have ren

have been the moving spirits In the
systematic econqnlns by which our
people have voluntarily assisted to
supply the suffering peoples of the
world and the armies upon every
front with food and everything else

by-which, In short, to put every ma
terial energy of the country Into
urn in-, to uraw ine common load
and make of us one team In tho ac
complishment of a great task. Hut
the moment we knew the armistice
to have been signed we took the
harness off. Haw materials upon
which the government had kept Its
hand for fear there should not be
enough for the Industries that sup
plied tne armies have been released
and put Into the general market
again. Great Industrial plants whose
whole output and machinery had
been taken isver for the uses of the
government have been set free to
return to the uses which they were
put before the war. It has not been
possible to remove so readily or so
quickly the control of foodstuffs and i
of shipping, because the world has
still to befed from our granaries, i
and the ships are still needed to send '
supplies to our men overseas and to
bring the men hack as fast as the die-
itirnea ronnitions on tne otner slde
of the water permit; but even there i
restraints are being relaxed as much
as possible and more and more as
the weeks go by.
Ageiiciii Qualified.
Never before have there been
agencies In existence In this country '
which knew so much of the field
of suppply, of labor and of Industry
as tho war Industries board, the war
tradn board, the labor department,
the food administration and the fuel
administration have known since
their labors became thoroughly
systematized and they have not been
Isolated agencies; they have been
directed by men who represented
the permanent departments of the
government and so have been the
centers of unified and co-operative
action. It has been the policy of the
executive, therefore, since the armis
tice was assured (which Is in effect
to put the knowledge of these bodies
a complete submission of the enemy)
at the disposal of the business men
of the country and to offer their In
telligent mediation at every point
and In every matter where It was
desired. It Is surprising how fast
the process of return to a peace
footing has moved In tho three
weeks since the fighting stopped. It
promise to outrun any Inquiry that
may be Instituted any any aid that
muy be offered. It will not be easy
to direct It any better than It will
direct Itself. The American bus
iness man is of quick initiative.
The ordinary and normal processes
of private initiative will not, how
ever, provide Immediate employment
for all the men of those who are of
trained capacity; those who are
skilled workmen, those who have ac
quired familiarity with established
businesses, those who are riwdy and
willing to go to the farm, all those
whose aptitudes are known or will
be sought out by employers will find
no difficulty. It Is safe to any, in find
ing place and employment. Hut
there will bo others who will be at
a loss where to gain a livelihood un
less pains are taken to guide them
In the way of work. There will be a
large floating residuum of labor
which should not be left wholly to
shift for Itself. It seems to me Im
portant, therefore, that the develop
ment of public works of every sort
should be promptly reaumed, In ordef
'hat opportunities should be created
for unskilled labor in particular, and
