We have learned to be citizens of the world, members of the human community. We have learned the simple truth, as Emerson said.that "The only way to have a friend is to be one. portance which men and women and children will Honor thruout all time. As I stand here today, having taken the solemn oath of office in the presence of my fellow country men in the presence of our God I know that it is America's purpose that we shall not fail. In the days and in the years that are to come we shall work for a just and durable peace as today we work and fight for total victory in war.

We can and will achieve such a peace. We shall strive for perfection. We shall not achieve it immediately but we still shall strive. We may make mistakes but they must never be mistakes which result from faintness of heart or abandonment of moral principles. I remember that my old schoolmaster said, in days that seemed to us then to be secure and un troubled: "Things in life will not always run smoothly.

Sometimes we will be rising toward the Fourth Inaugural Address By President Roosevelt WASHINGTON. Jan. 20 Mowing ia the full text of President Roosevelt's fourth inaugural address: Mr. Chief Justice, Mr. Vice President, my friends: You will understand and, I believe, agree with my wish that the form of this inauguration be simple and its words brief.

1 We Americans of today, together with our Allies, are passing thru a period of supreme test. It is a test of our courage of our resolve of our wisdom of our essential democracy. If we meet the test successfully and honor ably-r we shall perform a service of historic im heights then all will seem to reverse itself and start downward. The great fact to remember is that the trend of civilization itself is forever upward; that a line drawn thru the middle of the peaks and the valleys of the centuries always has an upward trend." Our constitution of 1787 was not a perfect instrument; it is not perfect yet. But it provided a firm base upon which all manner of men, of all races and colors and creeds, could build our solid structure of democracy.

Today in this year of war, 1945, we have learned lessons at a fearful cost and we shall profit by them. We have learned that we cannot live alone, at peace; that our own well-being is dependent on the well-being of othr nations, far away. We have learned that we must live as men, not as ostriches, nor as dogs in the manger. We can gain no lasting peace if we approach it with suspicion and mistrust and with fear. We can gain it only if we proceed with the understand ing and confidence and courage which flow from conviction.

The Almighty God has blessed our land in many ways. He has given our people stout hearts and strong arms with which to strike mighty blows for freedom and truth. He has given to our country a faith which has become the hope of all peoples in an anguished world. We pray now to Him for the vision to see our way clearly to see the way that leads to a better life for ourselves and for all our fellowmen to the achievement of his will to peace on earth.

131 Tacit admission that convoys sail lng out of Pacific coast porta have been alerted against roving Japa nese submarines came today after the navy disclosed the loss of the Liberty ship John A. Johnson and 10 of its crew in a torpedoing and lifeboat strafing attack. The sinking and machine-gun at tack came last November, between San Francisco and Hawaii. Of the 10 American seamen killed most of them died under sprays of bullets, fired, survivors said, by frenzied Japanese who danced on the eubmarlne's deck, shouting banzals and cursing the Yankees.1 The survivors told how they spent two terrifying hours submerging themselves and hiding behind wreckage to keep out of the range of the rampaging enemy craft. They said the submarine, in Its surface hlde-and-seek-hunt, strafed a lifeboat with machine gun bullets and rammed a life raft.

Lt, Peter Chelemedos, San Francisco, experiencing his eighth torpedoing, said all of the 10 men who perished died after abandoning the Johnson. One was crushed between a lifeboat and the sub; another was sucked Into the sub's propeller. Five men were seriously wounded In the machinegunning. Sixty Americans survived the harrowing night They watched the sub 'Shell the sinking Johnson, then circle the wreckage-strewn water in attempts to ram rafts and boats. The submarine disappeared shortly before an American plane came overhead; the survivors were picked up by dawn.

The Johnson's skipper, A. H. Deeken of Tacoma, was rescued after 15 hours In the water; he had escaped after his lifeboat waa cut In two by the raider.

LONG PARIS, Jan. 20 WJ-j-Three powerful German armored attacks have driven U. S. 7th army troops back almost five miles to Weyersheim, 8H miles north of Nazi-menaced Strasbourg. The Germans, reinforced with tanks, charged from the center of their newly consolidated cross-Rhine bridgehead northeast of Strasbourg.

The fate of the Alsatian capital was apparently at stake as doughboys battled the furious punches, powered by up to 10,000 enemy troops. The Germans hold a solid corridor on the Rhine's west bank to within seven miles of Strasbourg, and are 10 miles from the city on the south. Weyersheim Is on the railway halfway between Strasbourg and Haguenau. The new attacks appeared Intended to undercut the American stand north of Haguenau forest, where 7th men still hold their Hatten line despite repeated It was evident that the Germans had swung considerable armored reinforcements Into striking positions on this new battlefront At the northern end of the Western front, British assault troops crossed the Maas (Meuse) river in Holland below Roermond unopposed last night, expanding the 2nd army's push which is rolling Germans back on the Roer river line, 38 miles west of Dusseldorf. Other British 2nd army units fought Vt miles deeper today into Germany's western panhandle, seizing Breberen, eight miles from the Roer river, A half-mile advance above Hongen overran the village of Saeffelen, late front dispatches said.

The German push above Strasbourg carried over the Zorn canal, which links with the Zorn river. A German bridge head on the Zorn river was wiped out earlier by counter-attacking Americans. The first German attack, led by 10 tanks, opened late yesterday, but was stopped cold with six tanks knocked out In the deepening dusk, the enemy lashed out twice more with stronger attacks led by 17 to 18 tanks. The armor and Infantry thrust five miles to the outskirts of Weyersheim. The battle continued today.

Stone and then delivered the shortest Inaugural address he ever gave -640 words.

On his left was the blue Presidential pennant, on his right the American flag. Behind him were the members of his personal and of flclal family. Below him on the ground were the othera who were lucky enough to get Invitations and hardy enough to brava the wet and the cold. The entire eeremony lasted only II minutes. Sharp at noon the marine band broke Into strident ruffles and flourishes, then Hall to the Chief' signaling the Presidents arrival at the center of the porUco.

Son Jemet With President Men In the snowy crowd bared their heads for the Invocation. Mr. Roosevelt watched retiring Vice President Henry A. Wallace admin-later the oath to hla successor, Harry S. Truman.

The band sounded more ruffles and flourishes, and the President was escorted to the speakers rostrum by Marine Col. James Roosevelt, only one of his four fighting sons who was able to come here. The President, standing bareheaded, spoke the oath In a clear, resonant voice, his left hand on bis old family Dutch Bible and his eyes focused on Chief Justice Stone. Then after shaking hands with Stone, the President turned slowly toward the crowd, opened his familiar black notebook and delivered his address. The crowd had applauded when ha swore to do his duty as President, and gloved hands clapped again when he completed his speech.

The President stood silently gaz-lng toward the Washington monument while the minister said the benediction, the band played the Star Spangled Banner, and the crowd stood hatless under the dripping trees. Mr. Roosevelt waved his band to the crowds, which responded with men waving their hats and women shaking handkerchiefs toward the portico. Formal Ceremoniss Complsted The President then turned and went back Into the White House to the tune of Hail to the Chief, thus ending the shortest Inauguration in many, many years. The weather got progreeslvely better after snow stopped falling about 8 a.

and a few minutes before the ceremony began at noon, the skies became considerably lighter. No actual sunlight filtered thru the gray overcast, however, and the temperature remained near freezing. Beyond the Iron White House fence, a good two blocks from the mansion, upwards of 6000 non-ticket holding spectators spilled over into the -ellipse beyond street and stood silently in the snow as Mr. Roosevelts words came elearly over loudspeakers. Many women unllmbered compacts and other mirrors from their pocket-books and held them over their heads to get a vague glimpse of the distant ceremony over the heads of the crowd.

Day of Prayer for President For the President this day was one of prayer. For him it began with family prayers at 10 a.m. in the east room of the White House. On each of his successive inaugurations he has thus eought Divine guidance. To the inaugural guests after the oath-taking be said: We pray now to Him for the OTTAWA, Jan.

20 (P) Half of a group of 15,600 Canadian home defense soldiers drafted for overseas service went absent without leave before embarkation, and 6300 still are at large. Defense Minister A. G. L. McNaughton disclosed today.

Some 1500 of these 7800 returned voluntarily or were apprehended, he added, and about 500 of them sailed for Britain along with the others who did not take unauthorized leaves. He said this total of 8300 conscripted men sent overseas was accompanied by the full normal quota of reinforcements" presumably men who had volunteered for service abroad. The 6300 still absent will be classed as deserters if they do not return within 21 days. Gen. Mc-iNaughton said the troop movement began Christmas week.

But the majority of the men have not been classed as deserters yet, he added. The 15,600 troops In home defense units were drafted for overseas duty under a policy of partial conscription adopted by Canada In November despite vigorous protests, principally from the French-speaking population of Quebec. Previously, Canada has sent only volunteers abroad. Army authorities anticipated late arrivals and absentees, the announcement said, and moved enough troops to ports to "ensure embark- Gcrmany'sDefeat Only Few Weeks Away, Predict LONDON, Jan. 20 (P) Informed persons In military circles here make no eecret of their impression that the astounding progress of the winter Soviet offensive may crush Germany and end the war in a matter of weeks.

No responsible military figure will predict the outcome but the wave of hopeful excitement sparked by the Soviet advances has become quite evident. As far as can be ascertained, there Is no system of fortifications in eastern Germany comparable to the Siegfried line. However, from Stockholm came the statement of a Swedish engineer, just back from Germany, that the Nazis are rushing to completion a deep circle of defenses in the Berlin area.

The German troops still left In the salient have been ordered to fight to the end, he said grimly. "Well, we want to help them along." Some soldiers still think lt Is Impolitic for spokesmen back home to emphasize unconditional surrender terms in too strict manner, believing that this Is the best propaganda Nazi leaders can use to stiffen German resistance. But the boys along the front are pretty well agreed that the time for coddling Nazi prisoners is well past.

The days of handing out cigarets are over. If they want lt the rough way, we will play rough, is the way most of the doughboys put it, and nobody can play rougher than we can. The American soldier, after more than three years of war, has learned to hate. lieve In war and all they wanted was to get the whole dirty business over with and get back to their beer, malted milks and girl friends in the U. S.

A. But the Battle of the Belgian Bulge changed all that. The doughboys have been getting progressively more antagonistic since they first crashed the Siegfried line last September, for they feel they are fighting an enemy who Is wilfully prolonging a war without any real hope of victory. Recent well substantiated reports bf German atrocities against American prisoners taken during von Rundstedt's breakthru have fired this antagonism to white heat. Typical of the American attitude today Is the message one group of the 82nd Airborne division gave to the first two German prisoners they captured with orders to take it back to enemy headquarters.

One who remembers the Tunisian, Sicilian and early Italian campaigns cannot fail to be Impressed with the difference between the Yanks' attitude toward the enemy then and now.

In previous campaigns captured Nazi officers used to say half-chummlly: Well, after all, we're sportsmen Germans and Americans. You aren't barbarians like the Russians. We can fight each other like gentlemen. It seemed kind of funny then. The Yanks were new to battle and over-eager to be sportsmanlike in victory.
