PRESIDENT MAKES
 EUROPE SIT UP AND
 CONSIDER HIS PLAN

WASHINGTON, Tuesday. President Wilson's world peace address before the senate has resulted the widest possible divergency of opnon but it has caused the greatest stir throughout Europe and America
 His reference to "victoryleSS end' to the present war met with instant opposition in England and France
 President Wilson has said what everybody desired but thought impossible Is the concenSuS of American opinion of his adresS on wo w0e peace before the Sen ate yesterday.
 Ambassador BernStorf has been silent so far but German approval is anticipated
 Both President Wilson and Secretary Lansing eN- pectcd the allies to take exception to Wilson's suggestion that the present world war be brought to victoryleSs conclusion" and his comment concerning the freedom ot the sea- They are confident however, that the peoples o1 the world want peace regardless of these details,
 The Presidents mention of disarmament was suIpus- inc as Wilson was thought to be without disarmament views.
 The administration is preparing today fora concent- ms strupge as it is realized that the step suggested IS most revolutionary since the adoption of the Monroe doctrine itself and wild possibilities may have to be taken into consideration.
 Politics have been ignored in the entire matter but some of the sound financial heads ot the country were scuned out m advance and informed the adherens oI the presidents policy of taking up the enforcement oI "oru reace that they considered 1t IayoiaDly.
 Many Republicans and Democrats are utterly oppoS- ed to the plan and believe that America ought to limit her self to an ambition to eXempy an efficient democracy and not attempt to enforce her propaganda upon Europe
 Senator Cummings introduced resolution before the senate this morning calling on the upper house to devote its time beginning Monday morning, to careful cohSlo- eration of the proposed peace policy The resolution pro- vdes that every senator may speak for an hour senator Stone objected to immediate acton anu the feSouIioI WI" be taken up tOmOrrOW.
