U. S. SAYS GREGORY
Recent Demonstration of
America's Might Lesson
and a Warning
Declaring that the achievements of the
United States in the late war had pene-
trated so deenlv into the minds and con
sciences of tne nations of tne wona tnac
no .nation would ever dare encroach on I
Uncle Sam Thomas W. Gergory former
attorney general of the United States in
an address at the Y. &L B. L. rally on
the Carter building roof Thursday night
assured bis hearers that Japan. Germany
nor any other nation that realised what
the United States had accomplished and
was capable of accomplishing would ever
cultivate trouble with Uncle Sam.
Declarinc that Mr. Gregory is one of
the best friends Texas ever had. Mayor
A. E. Amerman in a brief address pre
sented the speaker of the evening. Com
plimenting tne administration oi tne ai-
fairs of the department of justice under.
Attorney General Gregory Mayor Amer-
man declared that the people of the
United States should be justly proud of
the sane level-headed manner In which
the tretaendous and difficult tasks of the
department were handled during Mr.
Gregory's term of office.
Lauds Yank Army.
Mr. Greeorv said that he had been a
student of military history nearly 11 his
life and that the comparison of the vari-
ous armies that had appeared in history
under the various military leaders from
Hannibal on down to Napoleon s tims
had been a hobby of his and "in all the
history of the world no army ever accom
plished such wonderful things as the raw
recruits ol tne American army accom-
lished in Europe against the trained
orces of the German empire" said Mr.
GrK.ory-. .. . - ... .....
"uut of tne great wona war nas come
a demonstration of mental moral ana
physical courage such as the world never
saw before and in all history men never f
carried themselves as did the American
soldiers in the great war" said Mr.
Gregory.
At Chateau Thierry.
In a vivid word painting of the arrival
of American marines at Chateau Thierry.
at a time when the German drive bad all
but broken through the French lines and
the British armies with their backs to the
channel ports were fighting desperately
to stem the tide of tne uerman onrusn.
Mr. Gregory told bow the long line of
American aray trucks appeared over the
brow of a hill and wound down into the
valley bearing the singing. American
doughboys into the fight that broke the
German advance and began tbe great un
interrupted retreat of the German hordes.
"These youngsters from America were
not singing the national anthem nor the
Marseilles or Tlpperary but they were
singing "There u Be a Hot Time in tne
OUT Town Tonight- and "Had Haik the
a..: an H.t..'"anH th. hrnkvn f raar -
ments of French divisions and the ragged
miserable throngs of' French refugees
driven from tneir homes oy tne onrusning
German tide looked on and wondered
what manner of men these were that
went into battle singing like that" said
Mr. Gregory.
"I say to you that men like those can
do anything and these 4000000 young-
sters that are coming back into civil life
with an experience and training such as
no college or university ever afforded
and they are coming back better men
morally mentally and physically than
when they went away."
As to Peace Leagua Opponents.
In conclusion Mr. Gregory declared the
outrageous criticism and opposition to
the league of nations that was being fos-
tered by certain classes of men could be
divided into two classes: The first 'was
composed of the class of men who for
political reasons and hatred toward Pres-
ident Wilson sought to destroy sll that
the president bad accomplished at (the
peace conference; and tbe other class was
made up of those who were absolutely
ignorant of the purposes of tbe league of
nations snd whose brain defects were
such as to preclude the possibility of
their being sble to ever comprehend the
achievements of President Wilson in be-
half of humanity justice and peace. -
Mr. Gregory said thatthe aenate will
not dare 'to defeat the adoption of the
league of nations after President Wilson
has explained to the people of the United
States the terms of tbe covenant
