LONG SPEECH IN
 FAVOR OF PEACE
Associated Press)

AMSTERDAM, Dec. 9.-A long speech delivered by Count Julius An nrassy, former premier of the Hun garian Chamber, dealt mainly with the possibility of pace, according to 3 dispatch from Budapest This mes sage quotes Count Andrassy as fol lows:
 Tt is the human duty to make peace at the earliest possible moment. l am completely convinced that we shall be able to conquer the most extreme re sistance of our enemies and continue the war until our adyersaries are for ced to ask for peace, but in would be a blessing if it were possible to con- clude peace before this last moment came.
 All signs demonstrate that our ad- Versaries have not yet acknowledged the present result of the war and they are doing everything in order, per haps, yet to obtain a change in the fortune of war. The declarations of the French premier and the speeches made in the House of Commons also offer little promise of an early peace"

NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-Wireless ad- vices received last night from the peace ship Oscar II, signed by Henry Ford, and prepaid, tell of a mass meeting held on board last night at which extracts of the message of President Wilson to Congress were read by s. S. Mcclure, the publisher.
 Some discussion followed during which Ellis O. Jones, writer of New York, referred to the message as Ire actionary," and said it should not be received in silence.
 "We are going abroad now" he said, lon a mission to stop a terrible war among nations, every one of which is prepared in military way. This is no time to disturb American traditions and prepare the United States for war"
 MT. Jones concluded with the re- mark that this body of earnest, un- selfish men and women should speak in no uncertain terms about this mes sage"
 A lengthy address by pr. Charles F. Aked of San Francisco was includ- ed in the advices received from the Oscar H. He told of some of the great events that had sprung from small be- ginnings, and referring to the present war, said that it could not go on fol- ever
 Who knows" he continued, but that we ourselves may bring those diplomats and rulers and statesmen around their table face to face to talk things over quietly little sooner taz~ they would have done if Henry Ford had not brought us upon this ship
 We make our appeal to that which is stronger than earth and is enduring as heaven, the principles ofNhumani- ty, brotherhood, conscience, faith, and hope and love, and in this appeal we can not fail. I am as certain as 1 am of my own existence that a lasting good will come of it."

BRITISH PRESS BAWLS
 OUT WILSON MESSAGE
Associated Press)

LONDON, Dec. 9.-Asserting that the Monroe doctrine, which President Wilson reasserts is the most probable cause of the next war, the Westmins; ter Gazette says of the presidents message to Congress:
 "We hope from President Wilson's message that the American people are beginning to understand that this is not merely war between Great Brit ain and Germany or France and Ger many, but a conflict between two kinds of civilization If this war end ed in the triumph of Germany or the downfall of British sea power, the American people would discover at once that what President Wilson now describes as the alteration of a small minority had become a dangerous can- cer in the heart of their state and would find also that the Monroe doc Urine which the president reasserts with such vigor, has become the big storm center of world politics and the most probable cause of the next war"
 The Westminster Gazette appeals to the American people to realize from their own experience what is going on in Europe, and, eff unable to help us by positive assistance, not to hin- der us by asserting the neutral rights of commercial interests to the proju- dice of our naval power"
 The Pall Mall Gazette expresses the view that President Wilson's denun- citation in his message of the activi- ties of war plotters was too mild in general and not sufficiently discrimi- natory between unneutral conduct and criminal conduct. It adds:
 "He even goes so far as to suggest that the acts of an assassin or a dynamiter are chiefly heinous as ex- hibitions of unneutraI conduct and that equal censure must fall upon every American who fails to keep the scales of judgment even and prove himself a partisan of no nation but his own
 We can not say that this theory of morals, whatever it's convenience, may be in domestic politics, will increase the respect of the outside world for the official attitude of the White House. Literal reading of Dr. Viii sons message would almost suggest that he regards ex-President Roose- velt's denunciation of Miss CavelPs execution as equally heinous with the crime of last week which blew some twenty munition workers into frag- ments"
 The newspaper adds that the presi- dents theory of the duty of the Ameri- can nation does not become clearer when we compare his boast of mak- ing common cause with all partisans of liberty on this side of the sea- with his resolute indifference to the fight between liberty and tyranny upon the older continent"
