Book excerpt: Excerpt from Armistice Day Address, Vol. 19: Delivered at the Armistice Day Convocation of the University of Illinois, November 11, 1921 In the third place, we were shown the folly Of kings and the strength Of organized democracies. It was the Emperor Of Germany and the coterie about him, stupid, pigheaded, callous, and greedy, who had plunged the world into the whirlpool; it was the nations essentially democratic in government - France, England, and the United States - that had finally extricated it from destruction. By the armistice, tyranny was doomed forever and democracy forever saved. SO we believed and SO we preached.
