January 5, 11.5 p.m.) . London, January 3. Speaking at the presentation of, the freedom of Home, President Wilson said that whatever time had swept away, the spirit of.Rome.and-of the Italian people remained. Despite all changes, imperial people now gladly represented the free- . dom of nations. People who once conceived the idea 6i governing the world now participated in the liberal enterprise of offering the world its own,government. It was impossible to find a finer or more impressive illustration of indestructible human spirit. If Germany had_ waited for a single generation she would have held the commercial empire of the world, but -unwilling to conquer by still, enterprise, and commercial success," she tried to conquer by arms. But it was impossible to conquer the world by arms. The only thing that would conquer the world was the service rendered by one nation towards all. —Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assta.
