 'ife frightful consequences of the pres ent European conflict are likely to be be- yon the widest conjectures Never before in he history of the world have such larss numbers of men and such quantities of armament been engaged in mortal combat; never before have such deadly ma4lines of warfare been loosed in the desruction of man and of property. Many tholsands of lives are being sacrificed daik. and will continue to be until this terrible conflict is stopped.
 Causes Evident
 The causes of the war are not hard to understand nor difficult to explain. The maintenance of enormous naval arma- meits by the nations of Europe, costing no less than s2.0Oo.ooO.ooo annually, and compulsory military service. have inevit- ably stimulated warlike spirit.

VIII SON WILL CONFER
WITH STATESMEN
BOTH THE PARTIES
ANXIOUS TO PROCEED WITH
CAUTION AND CONSULT ALL
BEFORE ACTING.
Has CHANGED SOME OF Views
fhe Senators viii Be Drawn From
All Sections Of the Country in Or
der to Get Their Biographical
Viewpoint Upon Public Questions.

WASHINGTON, Dec 14.-Presi-
dent Wilson intends to hold series
of conferences with the leaders Of
both parties in the senate to get their
views on the wishes OF the people
concerning legislation at this session.
Included in the list of senators
with whom he will confer are, it is
understood, Senators Root, of New
York, and Gallinger, of New Hamp-
shire, republicans; Senator Simmons,
chairman of the finance committee;
Senator Stone, chairman of the for
eign relations committee, and Sena-
tor O'Gorman, of New York. The
President has already discussed the
general legislative situation with
Senator Kern, majority eader; Sen
ator Owen, chairman Of the banking
and currency committee, and Cenator
Lewis, the whip" Of the senate.
The President, it Is said on good
authority, has changed his views con-
siderably on the subject of legisla-
ton since the recent election. He
believes now that business men want
to be let alone. Accordingly, he in
tends to proceed with caution. AS
far as possible, the President wants
to get a geographical view Of the sit
uation, and for this reason has sum-
moned senators from all parts of the
country to give him the benefit of
their advice.
The fact that he should seek the
counsel of Senator O'Gorman has
caused q good deal Of interest, in
view of the fact that in the New
York campaign several weeks ago he
he was guided entirely by the opin'
ion of Secretary Redfleld, Of the de-
partment of commerce, and Secreta
ry of the Treasury McAdoo. 1t was
a coincidence that the democrats
under this leadership, were over
whelmingly defeated.
! The belief exists in the minds OF
some OF the majority leaders that
the President intends to give up a
good part of the legislative program
he had in mind for the session.
