SONURGESPEACE
OUTLINES CREED TO BRING AN
END TO WORLD WARS IN AD-
DRESS AT WASHINGTON.
HINTS OFFER OF MEDIATION
President Will Demand Freedom of
the Seas as One of Principal Peace
Terms and Will Insist Upon Sow
ereiqnty Of Small States.

Washington, May 30.-President
Wilson, in an address on Saturday be-
fore the League to Enforce Peace, in
Dictated in a guarded way that he is
seriously considering the offering OF
his services as mediator in the Euro
pean war and outlined to some extent
the basis upon which he thinks the
warning nations should make their
agreement.
His statement was taken by many
of those who heard him to mean that
Mr. Wilson may in due time offer his
services as a peacemaker on his own
initiative instead of waiting until the
has received formal request to do SO
from one or more of the belligerents,
a point by which he has guided his at
titude regarding mediation in the
past.
There were two sentences in the adj
dress which were taken to indicate
the presidents intention. They fol-
low:
The desire of the whole world now
turns eagerly toward the hope OF peace
and there is just reason why we
should take our part in the council
upon this great theme. It is right that
|, as spokesman Of our government,
should attempt to give expression to
what l believe to be the thought aid
purpose Of the people of the United
States in this vital matter
Our own rights as nation, the
privileges and property of our own
people have been profoundly affected.
We are not mere disconnected look
ers-on. The longer the war lasts the
more deeply do we become concerned
that. it should be brought to an end
and the world permitted to resume it's
normal life and course again.
Mr.. Wilson laid down broad prin-
ciple of right upon which he would
seek to have the world guided.
He, first stated that every people
has the right to choose the sovereignty
under which it shall live"
He asserted that the small states
have the right to enjoy the same re-
spect for their sovereignty and terri
torial integrity as the larger, and said
that the world has the right to be free
from every disturbance that has its
origin in aggression.
Applying this to Europe, his hear
ers gathered that Mr.. Wilson favors
the restoration of Belgium, the indie
pendence Of Poland, and permission
for the little states to select their own
form of government.
The presidents suggestions regard
ing the method of avoiding war in the
future may be summed up thus:
The settlement by arbitration or
other means, except force, which may
be agreed upon by the nations party
to quarrel.
Universal association of the nations
of the world to guarantee to all the
free use of the seas.
Agreement by the world league of
nations to prevent any war in viola
ton of treaty pledges or begun with
out submission of the causes to the
Judgment of the world
President Wilson was introduced by
former President William H. Taft.
who is head of the League to Enforce
Peace, and many of the nations most
notable men heard him speak.

ALLAN GRAY'S TRUST

ITS no use trying to dodge the
truth any longer, Allan, I'm a dying
mani" and John Stone turned from
the suddenly dimmed eyes of his
friend, and gazed down the lawn,
beautiful in autumn's aftermath of
green. Since spring he had been all
ing and the bright October days found
him bound to an invalid's chair; and
instead of the free, glad life his
wealth and position had allowed him
he must perforce. sit by the window
and watch the hours creep by, each
wearing the silver chord a little closer
to the last strand. But he was no
coward. He had stood without quail
ing before the enemy's guns on San
Juan Hill, as became the son of a
father who had followed Lee to APP
pomatox; and the same stout heart
was with him now in the bivouac. It
was chiefly of his hostage he thought
so l sent for you, Allan" he con-
tinued. his eyes coming back to his
friends set face, TO talk to you about
the boy
I think you are taking too gloomy
a view of this Illness, replied his
friend, quickly; but his listener only
shook his head and said, little sadly:
Even the doctors do not hold out
any encouragement. / should like TO
live-that's natural. yet / am ready
when God calls-if it were not for the
boy
His friends fingers twitched on the
cigar he had not lighted. Had he no
thought Of Alice. the boys mother?
There had always been perfect UNI
Outstanding between the two friends:
perchance that enabled the dying man
to know Of the unspoken question, for
he added instantly:
His soul, mean.
The pause that followed was little
awkward. Religion. which was differ
ent for both. had been the one topic
which had never come up between
them: it argued some unknown quail.
