WILSON PLEDGES FORCE TO THE UTMOST
Baltimore, Maryland (JFK+50) One hundred years ago, April 6, 1918, President Woodrow Wilson spoke at the opening of the Third Liberty Loan Campaign here in Baltimore. The President's address was given at the Fifth Regiment Armory.
Mr. Wilson began...
"We know what the war must cost, our utmost sacrifice, the lives of our fittest men, and, if need be, all that we possess."
The President closed with these somber words...
"Germany has...said that force alone shall decide what justice and peace shall reign, whether right as America conceives it or dominion as she conceives it shall determine the destinies of mankind.
There is...one response...
Force, force to the utmost, shall make right the law of the world and cast every selfish dominion down in the dust."
