LINCOLN'S LIFE
FLAMING TORCH,
SAYS O'CONNOR
Inspiration of Great Emanci
pator's Life Needed Today, i
Declares British Leader
Springfield, 111., Dec. 6.—Standing,
kt the nmb of Abraham Lincoln to-j
day X. P. O'Connor, member of the!
British parliament, declared in anj
fcddress that "there never was-a mo-,
ment in the history of this country,
since the death o£ the lllustrous (
man by whose ashes we stand to-day j
when the inspiration and lessons of
his life were more needed by his!
people and his country."
"As a man," declared Mr. O'Con- j
nor, "Lincoln stands as much alive
as though ho were among us. He is,
a flaming torch which leads on the:
Inner soul of every American, wheth-J
er he is Btandlng by the honor of
his country in his work at homo er
marching over barbed wire trenches!
Against shell and cannon, to wounds
or death. What American can be|
cowardly when his courage inspires?
"What American can be selfish when
his utter unselfishness i 3 recorded in
every page of his history? What
American can prefer the claims of
ambition or party in face of his for
■etfulness of all personal and parti
san feeling before an imperilled na-i
tion? What American can entertain!
or tolerate the very thought of a|
divided allegiance in face of his pas
sionate patriotism and of the inflex- j
jble resolution with which he fought
for a united nation? ,
"Can any man doubt where he
would stand if in the crisis through
•which his country is now passing he
■was still its ruler? What was the
first and most fundamental of Lin
coln's convictions? Was is not pas
sionate love of liberty and passionate
hatred of slavery? Is there any dif
ference in essentials between the en- |
ftlavement of the neprro and such en
slavement as Germany today preach- j
PR in her gospel of world domination,
and practices while her sinister mas
ten' lasts in Belgium, France and 1
Serbia, as her blood-stained partner

THURSDAY EVENING,
does in the plains and mountains] j
of Austria?
"To-day, as Lincoln said, two prin- j
ciples stand face to face an.i 'will 1
ever continue to struggle, the com-!
mon right of humanity and the di
vine right ( kings,' or, as we wouldl -
say, the Kaiser and the liberty of
the world. To-day as Lincoln said,
'there is but one duty —to light." It |
i is true to-day, as it was in Lincoln's |
day, that though hitherto in the I
world's history, 'might made right,' j
it is for us and for our times to re- |
| verse the maximum and to show that
I right makes might.
I "'I know,' he said, 'that liberty j
!is right,' and so do we. Like him,.
' we hope that peace will come soon, I
! but, like him. we want it so to come |
as to be worth the keeping in all
future time.' Finally, can wo do
! better than obey the imperishable:
| appeal from Gettysburg, 'to dedicate!
1 oursolves so that the nation may j
j have a new birth of freedom.' and
' that 'the government of the people,
| by the people, and for the people, |
shall not perish from the earth.' 1
"Spirit of Lincoln, I do not call)
! upon you to come to-day to us from
j this tomb of yours. Your spirit has,
I never left us. In hours of solitude
when we are thrown back on our
I own souls, that spirit has ever whis
! pered to our inner ear words of com.
! l'ort and appeal. Bather let me say
| to your people that it is for them
; to be of, and in, and with, your
spirit, so that, like you, they may
j be worthy of this great hour in
! their history, and, liko you, be ready i
to strive, and hope, and suffer, to!
j the end."
Ambassador Returns
U. S. Loan to Treasury
Washington. Dec. C.—The Russian I
ambassador has returned to thoj
Treasury the $5,000,000 given to him
for advance to Rumania,
j It was explained at the Russian j
'I embassy to-day that it was impos-,
,j sible to have the money changed:
, into rubles by the Russian State
ißank at Petrograd. The original
plan was to have the Russian am
, i bassador here receive the funds in
'! dollars and then to issue an order
on the Petrograd State Bank to
. I transfer to the Rumanian account
. I the value in rubles. To-day's re
i ports of the Russo-German armis
