THE GREATEST MODERN STRUGGLE OF DEMOCRACY. Mr. Lewis said In part: 'The student of history Is well aware of the changed basis In the history of the human lace. The Euphrates busln was the ci mile of the race, hut wn.s supplanted by the Mediterranean basin and Its more masterful men We are now in that historic ace which may be termed tho Altantic peilod; when tho nations con verging upon the Atlantic ocean are tho dominating factor of civilization. Power is not now concentrated ln the near eastern vnllys, nor on the shores of tho midland sea; nnd it is a natural ques tion to n.sk, v ill 't always focalize around the Atlantic. 'We are veri;lng upon the next great ,latotic period ln world problem and woid power the Pacific period. The nations bordering upon the Pacific basin nre to oe mighty factors In determining the civilization of the world, Its type and objectives. "And the startling strategy of tho now era la to be the position und relationships of the United States In relation to the Pacific hnnln. We aro the greatest of thu Pacific powers. Our Pacific const line extrude for Xi,Ut) nautical miles. American shores washed by the Pacific are morn extensive thnn thoe of Japan nr China, Russia or Brltnln, including all her colonial possession:! "Wo naturally raise such questions as these, are our transcontinental railways to terminate at rail-head upon tho west ern coast'.' What are we building the Panama canal for? If tho Orient Is the most populous portion of the world, and for tho most part Is situated upon tho Puctllo basin shall we as the greatest food growing nation remain Ignorant of or un-' Interested In that market? "The economist estimates that to mlsu tho standard of living In China f,n per cent, will be the equivalent of nddlng 2m,onO,Ouii people to thu world's market. But the argument l.s not to be based upon the principle of gain, upon the func tion of trade. There aro mum perma nent iiiul Important reasons for tho ap proaching Importance not to say domi nance of tho Pacific basin, "Thu renaissance of thu old world Is taking place before our very eyes. Tho most stupendous and amazing example Is tho republic of China. "Mr, I-owls bketched tho history of tho recent Civil War In Chlnn and tho qual ity and capacity of such great personalities as ex-President Hun Ynt Sen and Presi dent Yuan Mill Kal, and then took up the question ot what tho now era in china means. "it Is a remarkable contrast with tho recent past. Twelve years ago close ob servers said that this Chinese axiom iep resented tho spirit nf tho nation; 'What Confucius teaches is true, what l.s con trary to his teaching Is false, what ho does not teach Is unnocosMiiy.' To-day Confucius Is a dethroned teacher. Wash ington nnd Dr. Sun Yut Sen are tho na llonnl heroes. "Tho Chlneso republic hns a better chant u to live than had the Roman or the Greek of tho ancient day, and tho Vox Popull Vox Dei of the Roman ropubllc Is being unconsciously but automatically felt and expressed ns a rule of hum2ji right and divine pleasure In China.

And It Is a mighty appeal. The nppenl of a world problem, nnd a world possibility, for the human race Is not nnny It Is now a unit. We must rlso or fall together." TIlK COLLKGU MAN AS A DIPLOMAT Mr. Baxcndnlo took for his subject "The College Man In International or Diplomatic Lite " In tho course of his address ho said that ns good citizenship Is the highest national function of the man of to-day, so It Is by far the most dltllcult of performance. To say this Is but to recognize the Increasing complex ity nnd Intel dependence of modern life nnd tho widening circle of the Interests of the average man. Mr. Baxendale re ferred to some of the questions of Inter national concern that exist to-day and to the need of trained college men with a knowledge of public affairs to take the lend In directing tho management of such large subjects. In enumerating the quail eatlons which an able diplomat must posses", the speaker i-ala lie snouiu no honest with himself, his country, tho world and his God; he should have a high Ideal nnd the Independence of his convictions; he should bo able to gra.p till the essential facts of a situation nnd must have a broad view; abovo all else, a diplomat should be a practical and re tilled eentleman "Where," said tho speaker, "shall we look for men endowed with these qualities but to the lnrge and growing body of men who hnve enjoyed the Inestimable advantages of a collego training? And how shall we, as college I men, acquit ourselves as we faro theso opportunities nnd responsinumes i jj5A ALLEN, STATESMAN AND DIPLOMATIST Wp)R took fnf m amccti -General ,... , ..... u, ,., ,.a nininmntui " Ar,.. tolllnlr the story of the services ot the founder of the university to his State, not only In the Held nf military service but ln that of diplomacy as well, tho speaker said: "The founding of tho uni versity was but one Incident, though an Important one, In Ira Allen's consistent endeavors at State building Ho had ever been among the foremost In securing means for tho support of common schools nnd academies. To perfect a unified sys tem of education, he renllzod the necessity of a Stntn university. In November, 1791, the act was passed Incorporating tho University of Vermont. Allen selected tho site, one that has been called as fine a college location ns any ln America. When Allen detlnert the purpose of tho Institu tion he said, In part: 'Remember, however, our maxim Is rather to make good men thnn great scholars; let us hope for the union, for that mnkes the man nnd the useful citizen? These words are characteristic of our founder, and they form nn ideal motto for nn American col lege. Vermont Is unable to mark Ira Allen's resting place with a fitting monu ment, for she knows not where his dtiHt Is laid. But tho record of his services ln the struggles of our State nnd of his achievements ln statecraft Is a memorial more enduring than marble, and a second permanent monument to his sagacious de. signs stand this, our honored university."
