Its a far cry of a suffering world for the use of the Master Key in the present crisis. Thte key of power, is the American flag, inspired by George Wash ington, Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin. The Stars and Stripes seems to have been preordained from the be ginning for this hour. On the wooden mantel of the old working room of the Presidents, at Washington, is an inscription telling that in Lincoln's time "Oil the first of January, 18G3, Abraham Lincoln, Presi dent of the United States, siyned the Proclamation of Emanci pation, giving freedom to four millions of people." The day now appears to be dawning when the President of the United States, by some statesmanlike suggestion, shall have placed in the White House, in letters of bronze: "On the day of 191 , the President of the United States, in conjunction with the Allies, etc., by the power of the commanding armies, all with the inspiration' of the American flag, and what it alone represents, established a set tled peace of victory for the benefit of the world." The world knows that Woodrow Wilson" is equal' to the occasion and, associating himself with others, can be safely trusted to bring order out of confusion and permanent peacs out of terrible warfare, not for any personal glory of the United States, but for the everlasting betterment of mankind.
