Rebel cheers greeted the declara- \ ‘ILove of selfigovernmen-t and lib erty b y the N o rth and S o u th ’was th e m tive of the Civil W a r,” the p resi dent said. “This country m u st now m ake self governm e n t and liberty safe fo r m a n kind.” The significance of registration day was brought hom e w h e n th e p resi dent em p h asized th a t the duty to serve and the privilege to serve falls on all alike. “T h e re Is som e thing fine glhout the spirit of volunteering, b u t bigger is the spirit of obligation,” said the president. Com m issioner Brownlow, son of a C o n federate veteran, declared W a s h - ingtn w a s proud to he cheered hy the hosts in gray. ‘\This is a solem n day in th e h is tory of our country,” he told the veterans. “Today ji0,000,0i00 m en are reg is tering fo r duty under th e S tars and Stripes. Two m illion of these will go abroad. They will go to fight, not in a E u ropean w a r, as It is celled, but they will go t o fight in an A m eri can w a r.” “I esteem it a very g reatt pleasure and a real privilege to extend to the m en who are attending th i s reunion very cordial greetings of th e govern- m e :^ of th e U n ited S tates,” began the president. “I suipipose th a t as you m ix \with one an o th e r you chiefly find days of m em o ry when your thoughts go back to recall those days of struggle in which your h e a rts w e re strained, in which th e whole nation seemed In grapple, and I dare say th a t yon are thrilled as you num b e r *the heroic things th a t Avere then done. Y'ou are glad to rem e m b e r th a t heroic things were done on bo th sides, anid th a t men in thosfe days fought in som e thing like th e old spirit of chivalary and 'gallantry. “T h e r e are m a n y m em o ries of the ■Civil W a r t h a t thrill along th e blood and m a k e one proud to have been one of a race th a t could produce such bravery and constancy; And j e t tihe world does not live on m em o ries. The world is -constanly m aking its to il some way forw ard into new and d if fe r e n t days and I believe th a t one of th e things th a t contributes satis faction to a reunion like this and a welcome like ihl-s is th a t this Is also a day of oblivion. T h e re are some things th a t we ha-vie th a n k :^lly buried, and am o n g them are the great passions of divisions which once threatened to rend this natfon in twain. The passion of adm iration we still -entertain for the heroic figures of those old days, when th e passion of separation, the paassion of d if ference of principle Is gone—.gone out of our minds, gone u t of our hearty; and one of the things th a t will th rill this country as it reads of this reunion is th a t it will read also of a redem p tion of a p a r t of all of US to the great nation w h ich we serve In common.
