Download or read book Addresses on War Classic Reprint written by Charles Sumner and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-05-03 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Addresses on War Charles sumner began his public life by what he himself called a declaration of war against war. His great oration in Tremont Temple on The True Grandeur of Nations marked, his biographer rightly Observes, the most important epoch in Sumner's life. Had he died before this event, his memory would have been only a tradition with the few early friends who survive him. The 4th of July, 1845, gave him a national, and more than a national, fame. Epoch making in Sumner's own life, we think it may be safely said that no oration which he ever gave has greater intrinsic importance, and perhaps no other will be read so long. Of all pleas made by Ameri can men for the rule of peace on earth, it is the noblest and the most comprehensive, save Sumner's own later address on The War System of Nations. There is almost no argument against war which these orations and their successor do not somehow make use of; and the advocate of peace in all the years returns to them, and returns again, for support and inspiration. The bringing together in a single volume, as is now done for the first time, of all of Sumner's three great addresses on war and peace is a distinct public service; and every philanthropist and every true philo-american will wish the volume the widest currency and influence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from War Addresses 1915-1917 The Senate had under consideration the bill (H.R. 20241) making appropriations to supply urgent deficiencies in appropriations for the fiscal year 1915 and prior years, and for other purposes. Mr. Lodge. Mr. President, I desire to thank the Senator from California [Mr. Works] for his kindness in giving way to me to speak briefly on this amendment at this moment. I also appreciate the kindness of the Senator from North Carolina [Mr. Overman] in being good enough to allow the bill to go over yesterday in order that I might speak this morning upon the amendment proposed by the Senator from Utah [Mr. Smoot]. I shall try to be as brief as possible. This amendment, which is purely formal, proposes to strike out the clause supplying the deficiency in the appropriations for the War Department caused by the leasing of transports to take troops to Vera Cruz. It is an honest debt, honestly incurred, and must of course be paid; but I think, Mr. President, it is not amiss at this time and in this connection to review briefly the circumstances which have led to the necessity for this appropriation, and which will lead to the necessity for other appropriations to cover other deficiencies arising from the same source. I wish, in as compact a manner as possible, to call attention to the events in Mexico which have led to these appropriations and to the condition of affairs in Mexico at the present moment.

Download or read book War Addresses 1917 Classic Reprint written by Pennsylvania Society of New York and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from War Addresses, 1917 Your Excellency and Gentlemen of France: The Pennsylvania Society is greatly honoured in having you as its guests tonight and extends to you a heartfelt welcome. You need no other passport to our hospitality than that you come from France. We greet you tonight as fellow-citizens. This is no unmeaning phrase. While our soldiers fight side by side in the trenches, while our women behind the lines give to the great cause the very treasures of their souls, while our statesmen meet in joint council and combine the common resources to a common end, while our flags are intertwined in the comradeship of battle, there is, to the eye of imagination, a new state called into being which we may call the United Free States of the world, and of that State we are fellow citizens. Your Minister of War Painleve recently gave fitting expression to this ideal, when he urged that a single front, "a single army, a single nation, that is the programme for future victory," and to this the great Prime Minister of England fittingly replied: "if after forty months of war, after all the lessons the war has taught us, the Allies are not capable of that sacred international union, then in spite of their sacrifices they would not be worthy of victory." That sacred union, so finely characterized by our President as a "partnership of the democratic nations," will continue and all the powers of Prussianism and Hell will not prevail against it. Our soldiers who fight side by side in the trenches can claim a more sacred relation, for it is true of them as they stand guard tonight on the far-flung battle line, as Shakespeare made his Henry V say to his soldiers on the eve of Agincourt - "We band of brothers For he who sheds his blood this day with me He is my brother."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from "The War in Europe" And Its Lessons for Us: An Address While I have found receptive audiences all over the country, there is no community in which 'i would expect a more sym pathetic hearing than in this, because the distinguished gentle man who represents you\in Congress views the subject from the same standpoint that I do. Whenever a new question arises upon which the people have not expressed themselves, it is important that each individual should make known his views in order that public opinion may represent the voters generally and not a portion of the people only. The country would be fortunate if all of our public men were as candid and as courageous in taking a position as Congressman Bailey, who honors you as he is honored by you. In order that you may follow me the more easily, I shall outline in advance the address which I am to deliver to you. It naturally divides itself into three parts: first, the war as it is and its injury to neutrals; second, the false philosophy out of which the war has grown and the natural results of that false philosophy; and, third, the way out, or the road to permanent peace. The subject is presented with a view to emphasizing the lessons which this country can draw from the conflict beyond the ocean.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from War Addresses of Woodrow Wilson: With an Introduction and Notes The work of editing these addresses has been a real pleasure. The length of the Introduction is due to an effort to make the setting of the addresses clear to young people who perhaps were not in high school when the war began. The notes are brief, because it has seemed better to let the President speak for himself. The aim of the teacher should be to help the pupil to grasp the real thought of the addresses, to appreciate their clear-cut conciseness, and to arouse a thoughtful, earnest love for the land that fights for no selfish ends.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The War and Education Addresses These addresses are collected in the hope they may help to keep the educational lessons of the war in vivid remembrance. It seems incredible that men should ever forget them. Yet many will do so as soon as the storm drifts awav. Our American schooling has been weaker on the side of memory than in some other directions, so that it has become only too easy to forget. If through failure to perceive and remember, we fail to embody the teaching of the war in our education, the loss to our nation will be enormous, because we shall lose the one new impulse which can both save and strengthen our entire schooling from beginning to end. That new impulse is the powerful revival of the belief in discipline and duty, as opposed to all sordid or sentimental theories. If it is forgotten or ignored, our schools and colleges will sink lower. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from England and the War, Being Sundry Addresses Delivered During the War and Now First Collected This book was not planned, but grew out of the troubles of the time. When, on one occasion or another, I was invited to lecture, I did not find, with Milton's Satan, that the mind is its own place; I could speak only of what I was thinking of, and my mind was fixed on the War. I am unacquainted with military science, so my treatment of the War was limited to an estimate of the characters of the antagonists.

This book was released on 2018-01-12 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays and Addresses in War Time The whole volume was in print before the startling events of October had begun to bring the close of the war into sight. The earlier essays are left almost unchanged, because they were written to convey to foreign readers a concise and so far as possible unbiassed account of the motives and temper, the views and moral judgments with which Britain was prosecuting the war at a time when its issue, though certain to ourselves, appeared doubtful to many foreign observers. It seems better to leave them to speak as from the days when Englishmen were bewildered by the doctrines as well as the behaviour of their enemies, and were seeking explanations of what was so new to their experience. The clouds are now beginning to lift. Already we understand some features of the conduct and mental attitude of the enemy better than we did three or four years ago. Happily that which we most desired has come to pass. This is a War of Principles, and the course of events has vindicated the principles of morality and humanity that were at stake.

This book was released on 2018-03-06 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Historical Reflections Relating to the War: Address I have thought that it would be appropriate at the present meeting of the Women's Canadian Historical Society of Ottawa, to present some historical reflections which may be of value in enabling us to form a more just conception of the importance of the struggle in which we are engaged, and the true meaning of it from the standpoint of the Canadian citizen. Nothing that I will say, in so far as the facts are concerned, will be beyond the knowledge of any well-read school-boy. The knowledge of very important facts, however, frequently lies dormant. We do 'not always apply to the affairs of life the knowledge which is held in suspension in our memories. What I propose to do is to apply some of our common historical knowledge to the condition of affairs which exists in the world to-day.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The United States and the War the Mission to Russia Political Addresses The collected addresses and state papers Of Elihu Root, of which this is one of several volumes, cover the period of his service as Secretary of War, as Secretary Of State, and as Senator Of the United States, during which time, to use his own expression, his only client was his country. The many formal and occasional addresses and speeches, which will be found to be Of a remarkably wide range, are followed by his state papers, such as the instructions to the American delegates to the Second Hague Peace Confer ence and other diplomatic notes and documents, prepared by him as Secretary of State in the performance Of his duties as an executive Oflicer of the United States. Although the Official documents have been kept separate from the other papers, this plan has been slightly modified in the volume devoted to the military and colonial policy of the United States, which includes those portions of his Official reports as Secretary Of War throwing light upon his public addresses and his general military policy. The addresses and speeches selected for publication are not arranged chronologically, but are classified in such a way that each volume contains addresses and speeches relating to a general subject and a common purpose. The addresses as president Of the American Society Of International Law show his treatment Of international questions from the theoretical standpoint, and in the light of his experience as Secretary Of War and as Secretary of State, unrestrained and uncontrolled by the limitations Of official position, whereas his addresses on foreign affairs, delivered while Secretary of State or as United States Senator, discuss these questions under the reserve Of official responsibility.
