United States Is Pledged TO Work for
Harmony Among Nations.
HIGHER DIPLOMACY IS URGED
Address Before Peace League Inter.
b preted as "Feeler" Looking to
Ending Of European War.

Washington, d. C.-President Will
son declared here Saturday night be-
fore the League to Enforce Peace that
the United States was ready TO join in
any feasible association Of nations to
preserve the peace Of the world against
political ambition and selfish hostil-
ity" and in service of "a common or
der, common justice and common
peace" He expressed the hope that
the terms of peace which end the pres
ent war would include such an arrange
ment.
Outlining suggestions for peace,
which the President said he hoped the
United States would make when it has
the opportunity to do so, he included
provision for absolute freedom of the
seas, contention which has been the
keystone Of all the diplomatic discus
sions with Germany and Great Britain,
and virtual guarantees of territorial
integrity and political independence.
Officials interpreted the Presidents
address as a preliminary feeler for
peace in Europe. He outlined the
conditions on which the United States
would move if it made formal medi-
atory offer with the idea, it was un-
derstood, of learning how such sug-
gestions would be received abroad.
II am sure" said the President,
"that the people of the United States
would wish their government to move
along these lines:
"First-Such settlement with re-
gard to their own immediate interests
as the belligerents may agree upon.
We have nothing material of any kind
to ask for ourselves and are quite
aware that we are in no sense or de-
gree parties to the present quarrel.
Our interest is only in peace and its
future guarantees.
"Second - An universal association
of the nations to maintain the invio-
late security of the highway of the
seas for the common and unhindered
use of all the nations of the world and
to prevent any war begun either con-
trary to treaty covenants or without
warning and full submission of the
causes to the opinion of the world-a
virtual guarantee of territorial integ-
rity and political independence.
The fundamentals of lasting peace,
President Wilson said he believed
were:
"First - That every people has a
right to choose the sovereignty under
which they shall live.
Like other nations" the President
said, 1--WE have ourselves, no doubt,
once and again offended against that
principle when for little while con-
trolled by selfish passion, as our
franker historians have been honorable
enough to admit, but it has become
more our rule of life and action.
Second - That the small states of
the world have a right to enjoy the
same respect for their sovereignty and
for their territorial integrity that
great and powerful nations expect and
insist upon.
'And, third, that the world has a
right to be free from every distrub-
ance of its peace that has its origin in
aggression and disregard of the rights
of people and nations"
The outstanding lesson of the world
war, the President said, had been that
the peace of the world must henceforth
depend upon ga new and more whole
some diplomacy"

Of the last Of the American empire
builders, died at his home here at 9 :4S
a. m. Monday, May 20, following an
operation for the removal Of car
buncle. On account of his age, 78

U. S. Demands Radical Change
in @lawIeSs Practice
FRANCE INCLUDED N LATEST PROTEST
'Vexatious" Abuses Perpetrated by
Allies Are Cited - Loss Claims
Also to Be Pressed Soon.

Washington, d. C. = The United
States, denouncing interference with
neutral mails, has notified Great Brit
ain and France that 1t no longer can
tolerate the wrongs which American
citizens have suffered and continue to
suffer through the ''lawless practice"
those governments have indulged in,
and that only radical change in pol
icy, restoring the United States to its
full rights as a neutral power, will be
satisfactory.
This notification is given in the la
test American communication to the
two governments, the text Of which
was made public by the State depart
ment. The time in which the change
must be effected is not specified, but
the United States expects prompt ac-
tion.
Generous and vexatious" abuses,
which have been perpetrated by the
British and French governments in
seizing and censoring neutral mails,
are recited in the communication, and
answers are made to the legal argu-
ments contained in the reply of the
entente governments to the first Amer
ican note on the subject. 1t is vigor-
ously set forth that not only have
American commercial interests been
injured, but that the rights of proper
ty have been violated and the rules Of
international law and custom palpably
disregarded.
Notice is served that the United
States soon will press claims against
the British and French governments
for the losses which already have been
sustained.

Monday. There was a second opera
tion Saturday. DR.. Herman Biggs,
New York state health commissioner,
had been in attendance since Friday.
Mr.. Hills final collapse came with
startling suddenness. 1t was late last
week before word of his serious con-
dition was allowed to leak out. Then
it was stated he was suffering from a
cold. The Mayo brothers, surgical
specialists, were brought from Roches-
ter, Mimi, for a consultation, and it
then developed that Mr.. Hill was
afflicted with an intestinal carbuncle.
Special trains began bringing friends
and relatives to the bedside. The best
surgeons were summoned. Louis w.
Hill, president of the Great Northern,
opened his residence next door for the
accommodation of doctors and nurses.
Early Sunday afternoon Mr.. Hill ex-
perienced sinking spell. Rev. Father
Thomas j. Gibbons, pastor of the st.
Paul cathedral and vicar general of st.
Paul archdiocese, FASTENED to the bed
side. Four hours later Mr.. Hill was
said to have rallied. At p. m. his
pulse was reported improved. But at
$50, IL hours before his death was to
come, Doctors Biggs and Gilfllan an
nouced that "the outlook was ex-
tremely serious"
St. Paul is preparing to honor Mr..
Hills memory. Every division point
of the northwest is ready to pay trib-
ute in memorial ceremonies.
