Excerpt from War Addresses, 1917 Your Excellency and Gentlemen of France: The Pennsylvania Society is greatly honoured in having you as its guests tonight and extends to you a heartfelt welcome. You need no other passport to our hospitality than that you come from France. We greet you tonight as fellow-citizens. This is no unmeaning phrase. While our soldiers fight side by side in the trenches, while our women behind the lines give to the great cause the very treasures of their souls, while our statesmen meet in joint council and combine the common resources to a common end, while our flags are intertwined in the comradeship of battle, there is, to the eye of imagination, a new state called into being which we may call the United Free States of the world, and of that State we are fellow citizens. Your Minister of War Painleve recently gave fitting expression to this ideal, when he urged that a single front, "a single army, a single nation, that is the programme for future victory," and to this the great Prime Minister of England fittingly replied: "if after forty months of war, after all the lessons the war has taught us, the Allies are not capable of that sacred international union, then in spite of their sacrifices they would not be worthy of victory." That sacred union, so finely characterized by our President as a "partnership of the democratic nations," will continue and all the powers of Prussianism and Hell will not prevail against it. Our soldiers who fight side by side in the trenches can claim a more sacred relation, for it is true of them as they stand guard tonight on the far-flung battle line, as Shakespeare made his Henry V say to his soldiers on the eve of Agincourt - "We band of brothers For he who sheds his blood this day with me He is my brother."

Excerpt from The War as Viewed at the University: Selections From Addresses and Papers by Members of the Teaching Staff During the Summer of 1917 The invasion of Belgium was such a clear case of inter national crime that the sympathies of many neutrals, includ ing our own country, were at once aroused. Many Ameri cans would have gone to war at once in defense of Belgium. Had we been situated as England was we doubtless shouldhave done so. The American consciousness of the Monroe doctrine and the general aversion to mixing in European affairs - the counter-part of the Monroe doctrine - were doubtless the chief factors in restraining us from war. The large numb-er of American citizens of German birth or Ger man descent and the respect of many Americans for the achievements of German civilization were further restraining factors. From this time, nevertheless, the sympathies of the great mass of Americans were with the Allies, and that sympathy was directly extended to the Belgians in the form of food and other supplies.

Excerpt from Words That Won the War: The Story of the Committee on Public Information, 1917-1919 From June go, 1919, until the files were placed in the cus tody of the Archives, they shrank to less than a quarter of their former bulk - partly because of the ministrations of the Use less Papers Committee and partly for unexplained reasons. But the papers that remain - hundreds of thousands of them - provide an historical source of the first importance to the American people. Letters, memoranda, cablegrams, printed documents, Military and Naval Intelligence reports, slides, movie films, posters - all these are waiting to tell their story.
