VOL. XXXIII NUMBER 48 PRESIDENT VIEWS 5,000 HERO DEAD Prays Nation Will Never More Be called To Make War.

New York, Mny 23. A nation so righteous and co JiiHt that "wo shall never be called upon to mako war bo long as God and men rulo together," was the prayer of Freelilont Harding late today he reviewed survivors of the World Wnr at si roglmontal review Ilrooklyn. "It must not ho again," was his solemn declaration oarllor In the day when he nttonded a memorial service for 5,000 war dead on the great army Piers In Hobokou. The stimo thome spoken before tho living and the dead brought tars to his eyes and to tho eyes of those who had followed him thru a day's program crowded with events. At a luncheon of the Academy of Political Science and at nTllnner celebrating the one hundred and twenty-fifth anniversary of tho Now York Commercial ho had expounded the lined of putting the on a business basis and of reconstructing tho nation's business and Industry.

Ills audienco listened to his every word attentively hut It was at tho military functions that he stirred their emotions. And varied must have been the emotions of the President himself. ('ins Salute Ma) flower First a thrill at the roar of heavy guns as the presidential yacht May-flower steamed Into New York harbor and came to her nnchorage amid the salutes of a hundred warcraft In tho Hudson. Then tho catching in tho throat as ho arrived in Hohokeu at the bivouac of the dead, entered f.ho shcd-liko piers which served as a temporary tomb for the thousands of bravo lads whose flag-covered imftns covered tho floors row upon row, and laid upon the casket of a humble private from Michigan the first American killed on Gorman soil a wreath that served as a symbol for nil tho country's war dead. And later tho cheering welcome of children's voices tho voices of tens of thousands of children waiting to greet him as be motored to Brooklyn thru tho city's cosmopolitan East Side.

Then a quickening of tho pulse when in tho 23rd Regiment armory in Ilrooklyn ho saw survivors of the war-torn 106th swing bravely past him, rank after rank, at a review held In his honor. And finally, tho laying asldo for a moment of the emotions of the day to lay before his nudionco tho problems that face post-war America In hor reconstruction period. His Day Crowded. Tho President's day in tho metropolis was so crowded that ho had scarcely a moment of rest from tho time tho Mayflower dropped anchor until ho again boarded tho yacht lato tonight to return to tho capital. New York gavo him an enhuslastlc welcome.

Great crowds cheered htm everywhere ho went. Tho greeting that reached his heart, however, was that given by Young America tho 250,000 school children who lined tho three miles of tho route to the Brooklyn armory. These children, granted a halt holiday, stood In a drizzling rain, waving flags and cheorlng wildly as tho presldental car came in sight. Tho treblo of their childish voices rose In a mighty crescendo that brought radlent smiles froii tho President and Mrs. Harding.

The youngsters of No.v York lower T3ast SIdo with its polyglot population, guve him the nolslotit greeting. Onco tho President ordered his car stopped while ho stopped out Into tho Tain and shook hands with a numW little girls. nover know there worff many children In America," said the resident. "It was wonderful." Hoys' Itunil Serenades. Another demonstration of youthful patriotism that pleased the President wan a sorenndo by the boys' -band of 400 pieces.

Returning to his hotel In Manhattan from tho regimental review, ho ordered his car stopped while ho spoke a few words of appreciation to the young musicians. At the conclusion of tho military review In Brooklyn, the President walked across tho hall to a group of fifty-two wounded soldiers from the Fox Hills Hospital, Stateu Island. "How are you boys? I wish I could shako you nil by tho hand," ho said. Mrs. Harding meantime stopped to shake the hand of paralyzed soldier and her eyes filled with toars as she took pink rose from her gown and pinned It upon his blouse.

Speaking at tho regimental review in Ilrooklyn, tho President said: "I am very happy to have had the experience of witnessing the make up, and something of the tralnlng'of this wonderful organization. I can not uite toll you tho Impressions 1 havo been hnvlng while I watched your maneuvers. Somehow, In the won derful Impression you left I knew se curity for tho republic In that assurance which come3 of voluntary military organization which can be perfected as yours has been. If I were a rosident of Brooklyn Indeed as resident and citizen of tho republic I'd Join you In prldo In the history and In the achievement of the present condition of tho 2.trd Regiment "It has a good deal more to boast than that you began in the Civil War when the union was threatened. There Is a good deal more to' boast than that you were first on the soil of Belgium, which made tho first sacrifice In defense of tho world's civilization.

The great boast which Is yours Is that you make a very great offering In tho conflict for preserved civilization and are still a well-organized unit today, ready to servo your country when occasion demands. I hopo you will never be called. "Somehow there Is a new felling In my breast today I saw 5,000 sol dier dead somehow there has been a prayer In my heart over since that there shall be a nation so rightous nnd just that wo shall never be called upon to make war so long as God and men may rule together. I hope you will never be called, but If you are I should only nsk that tho 23rd serve In the future ns It has In the past. "And another impress came to me today.

What a wonderful welcome you gavo us In Brooklyn. I don't believe I over dreamed there were so many children In tho United States of America sweet, rollicking, laughing, hopeful children of the republic. I don't bellove anyone with responsibility can rldo thru such a company of Amorcan childhood as we did this afternoon without having a new ro-solvo In bis- heart. I havo resolved, my fellow Americans, that I wanted tho children who hailed us this afternoon t'o havo tho samo republic, the same liberty, tho same rights, tho samo justice the samo hopes that wo Inherited from those who went be-for us. I want them to havo our America, free, untrammeled, confident of Itself.

"If you havo ever had any doubt of the righteousness of the republic, If you have ever had any doubt about tho wisdom of tho founders, I ask you to tuiu egaln to he picture of this afternoon and see these children, garbed In essentially the same raiment participating In tho samo salutations, shining with tho same laughter, cherishing the same hopes, rising In the hopefulness of youth to the samo opportunity In life. Ah, let no one challonge! "It may be true that sonfo of these children are not prepared to embrace opportunity, but the wonderful thing of America is that opportunity beckons to alt these young Americans alike. Ask them to enter into the privileges of the republic. And It you want another picture, find It before mo now. When I was making the inspection I was not so much concerned about the shining arms and the way they wero kept.

I was not quite so much concerned about the Inslgnn on tho shoulders of the service men who served so faithfully In the war. I was rather caught by tho blend of racial origin lntho faces of tho men. I saw In this group the citizens and defenders of the republic, who it Bceined to mo, camo from origins across the seas that represent almost every land In tho clvllls-od world. Hero Is youthful fighting America which is the blond of the citizenship of tho old world, standing In absolute cqualPy hero, rody to Jvfend the i "public and It affairs There Is nothing finer than the quail-'y of America. No other laud imdr.r tho sun offer3 tho same reward of merit.

Let is keep the Airorlca we Inherited, OWENSBORO DISTRICT QUOTA IS ANNOUNCED M. Cli, S. Charge (jitotns and Directors In uNo iinmuil.

COOLIDGE URGES REGARD FOR LAW Vice President Defines Our Real Menace 'As Radicalism. New York, May 23. Respect for the law and opposition to radicalism wero urged upon Americans tonight by Vice President Calvin Coolldge la an address at tho one hundred ana twonty-fiith anniversary celebratlt-a of tha New York Commercial. Any class or organization, he said.

undertaking to obtain for itself privileges not open to any other class or organlzltatlon was hostile to American Institutions and a monaco to American liberty. "There Is a right of cuntract of agreement and association among Individuate whi'h i protend so long as the en'l fought Is equa. ho contlm.Kl "Any which contemplates coercion and force l3 an Interference with our conception of American liberty and is justly de-; nounced by American law. Defines Equalitv. "It Is true that wo hold to tho theory of equality not of character or possession, but equality of oportunlty and equality before the law.

This does not mean that tno government guarantees any standard achievement to Its citizens, but that In Its dealing with them It will grant to all an opportunity to be heard and. the right to a decision based on the evidence and the law, without favor and without prejudice. It Is the and without prejudice. It Is the belief of an American that he creates opportunity; that his achievement, his destiny, his greatness He not In others, but In himself. "There is need to resist radicalism, not because it may overthrow the government, but because It is a disturbing and wasteful element in society.

"This does not mean resistance to the growth and expansion of our constitution, but It does represent resistance to any change in Its underlying principles. "There are those who speak ot overthrowing tho government," ho said. "In America this reduces Itself to the absurdity of overthrowing the: people, for hero the people are tha government. Administrations and of-flcs may change, havo changed, as at the last election when the people entrusted thler destinies to wise and. clear-vlsloned man from Ohio, who, in their service tolls on from day to day, seeking not his own but the public's welfare.

"There Is discontent and unemployment at home; there are disorders abroad. Their remedy lies In our loyalty to our government, In our obedience to constituted authority, that our own country, strong, well ordered, resolute, may continue to bo the prosperous abiding place ot such, an Institution of publicity and education as we have met here this morning to honor and acclaim, tho stronghold of an enlightened liberty, tha supporter ot an advancing civilization."
