"Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own
mind." 1

The die once cast, our nation became a unit in the
effort to bring world order through victory, and, as
already implied, the friends of peace fell back on the
second line of defense, the protection of individual
freedom as guaranteed by the Constitution. But
"military necessity" soon paralyzed that venerable
document, and only the third line remained. This
was the effort to use war, after all, as an agency of
freedom and justice. History shows few records of
success in such attempts, but the great republic
might be able to write a new page. A way to this end
seemed to be blazed by the lofty words of Mr. Wilson,
who saw clearly what the outcome ought to be, even
though to secure it after four years of bloodshed
proved a task perhaps transcending human capacity.

Successive
repulses
