President Poincare Tells
British Visitors of Hope
of Enduring Friendship

PARIS, February 22.-President Poin-
care. in his address yesterday to the
British parliamentary delegation head
ed by viscount Bryce. said that the
relations established between the
French and British parliamentarians
would further strengthen the ties be-
tween the two nations. He expressed
the wish that from the present broth
erhood of arms there should result a
permanent fraternity.
After paying tribute to the splendid
military effort of Great Britain the
president continued:
Task to Be Completed.
The task undertaken by the allies
is not of the kind to be left uncom-
pleted. 1t will be carried out until we
attain victory which We will celebrate
together in indestructible friendship"
Viscount Bryce. replying, said: ITO
the feeling of admiration for France
is to be added that of gratitude and
friendship-gratitude for the heroic
efforts of a chivalric and indomita BILE
nation against common enemy. and
friendship, based not only on material
interests, on the will to repulse the
enemy. but also upon what is higher
on devotion to the sublime ideals unit
ing us.
Ideals Animating Allies.
These are liberty, the defense of
public and individual law, the duty to
suppress the methods Of warfare of the
German government - cruel methods
which shock the respect of humanity.
''The pact signed bv the allies is only
the protocol expression of a solemn
promise rooted in the hearts of our
people-a promise to continue this war
until victory. which will crown the
sword of Justice in assuring the future
peace of Europe"

Former Ambassador Never in
Doubt as to American
Sympathies.
GREAT PROBLEM OF WAR
is TO PREVENT ANOTHER
Allied Governments Called Upon to
Create Permanent Instrument
for World Peace.

PARIS. February 22.-Viscount Bryce,
who heads the British delegation OF
twenty-five members of both houses
Of parliament to the Anglo-French par
lament committee which is to hold
meetings here today and Wednesday
and Thursday, has given an interview
to the Paris journal.
The situation in the United States
is much too complicated and changes
too quickly from day to day. he said,
for me to be able to form any con-
lectures as to the manner in which
events concerning the Washington
government are liable to develop.
Claims American Sympathies.
There is. however. one thing which
should be known. and it is that the
sympathies of the great majority of
the American people go out clearly
and indisputably to the allies. I never
had the slightest fear of real difficult
ties arising between the United States
and the allies. because it is hardly
necessary for me to say that there are
historical reasons why genuine
friendship should be felt in the United
States for France and Great Britain"
Lord Bryce expressed his satisfac-
tion at the fall of Erzerum.
THE cause of the Armenians is es-
pecially dear to me- he said. There
is no people in the world which has
suffered more.
Victims of Turkish Hatred.
ut has been a victim not of religious
fanaticism, but of cold-blooded, pre-
meditated hatred on the part of the
brigands who term themselves the
Turkish government and who do not
intend to permit the existence of any
national vitality except in their own
elements
Although he had only just got in
touch with the members of the French
senate and chamber who are to take
ready felt that the meetings and that
the exchanges of views would be of
the greatest benefit, both during and
after the war. THE great problem
which the allied governments will have
to face at the end of hostilities," he
said, will be the creation of some in
strument able for all time to prevent
conflagration such as now plunges
Europe in desolation."

STILL CONSIDERING
PETROGRAD POST
Former Gov. Francis Has
Short Conference With
President Wilson.

Former Gov. David R. Francis of
Missouri is still considering" the offer
of President Wilson that he become
ambassador of the United States at
Petrograd. That is what Mr.. Francis
said today after he had talked twenty
minutes with President Wilson Mr..
Francis came all the way to Washing
ton to discuss the offer. and the fact
that he is still considering" caused
the conclusion today that he will
doubtless accept the position.
Mr.. Francis business interests are
large, and months ago he declined the
ambassadorship of the United States to
Argentina on the ground that the post
was too far away from this country.
The same argument holds with him to-
day, but the President is said to have
urged Mr. Francis to take up the re-
probabilities of the Petrograd position
II 1t is possible for him to do so. and
he greatly desires to serve the Presi-
dent.
Not offered War Portfolio.
Relative to reports that he has been
offered the vacant portfolio of war.
Mr.. Francis said today he never hea rd
of this until he got to Washington la st
| night and was told of rumors to that
effect
President Wilson did not go to the
executive Offices today. but early in the
morning received Secretary Lansing in
the study of the White House, talking
with Mr.. Lansing about forty minutes.
Mr.. Francis called later. After Mr.
Francis departure the President went
to the patriotic exercises at Memorial
Continental Hall, and upon his return
from there had a long conference with
Secretary McAdoo, who expects to go
to South America soon. and wanted to
present his views on a number of i'm
portant pending matters, including ap-
pointments.
This afternoon the President will
take long automobile ride with Mrs.
Wilson.

AMERICAN SOCIALISTS
CAUSE STIR IN EUROPE
Make Proposal for Simultaneous
Agitation for Peace, Which
Attracts Attention.

THE HAGUE. via London. Febru-
airy -, 5:26 a.m.-The proposal of the
American socialist party for simulta-
neous agitation for peace. which was
ca bled recently to Henry H. Van kol. So
cialist leader in the upper chamber of
the Dutch parliament. is arousing con-
siderable interest here. Camille Hugs
mans, secretary of the International
Socialist Congress, said today concern
ing the proposal:
II would regard it as victory for
socialist ideas if the neutral govern
ments would associate themselves with
this formula for peace, which is based
on resolutions of the International So
cialist Congress. Such a victory would
be complete if the belligerent govern
ments would officially accept this solu-
ton without Interior motive. I fear.
however, that in the absence of a sat
isfactory declaration by the belliger-
ents the present initiative would still
be blocked by prejudice so great as
possibly to impede later mediation"
