Tn VIEW of the approaching visit of the Ameri-
can delegation to Russia to express the deep
friendship of the American people for the peo-
pie of Russia and to discuss the best and most prac-
tical means Of cooperation between the two peoples
in carrying the present struggle for the freedom of
all peoples to successful consummation, it seems
opportune and appropriate that ] should state
again, in the light of this partnership the OBJ
jects the United States has had in mind in entering
the war.
Those objects have been very much becouded
during the last few weeks by mistaken and misead-
ing statements and the issues at stake are too
momentous, too tremendous, too significant for the
whole human race TO permit any Misrepresentation
or misunderstanding, however slight, TO remain
uncorrected for moment
The war has begun to go against Germany, and
in their desperate desire to escape the inevitable
ultimate defeat those who in authority IN Ger
many are using every possible instrumentallty,
are making use even of the influence of groups and
parties among their own subjects to whom they
have never been just fair or even tolerant, to
promote propaganda both sides of the sea
which will preserve for them their influence at home
and their power abroad, to the undoing OF the very
men they are using
The position of America in this war is so clearly
avowed that no man be excused for mistaking
it. She seeks no material profit or ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
of any kind. She is fighting for no advantage or
selfish object of her own, but for the liberation OF
PEOPLES everywhere from the aggressions OF auto
cratic force
The ruling classes in Germany have begun of
late 10 profess like berality and justice of pur-
pose but only to preserve the power they have
set UP in Germany and the selfish advantages which
they have wrongly gained for themselves and their
private projects of power all the way from Berlin
to Bagdad and beyond.
Government after government has by its infiu-
ence. without open conquest of its territory, been
linked together in net of intrigue directed against
nothing less than the peace and liberty of the world
The meshes of that intrigue must be broken, but
cannot be broken unless wrongs already done are
undone and adequate measures must be taken to
prevent it from ever again being rewoven or re-
paired.
OF course, the Imperial German government and
those whom it is using for their own undoing are
seeking to obtain pledges that the war will end IN

with any person outside the naval
service. II should be clearly under

All persons who attempt TO obtain
prohibited information from persons
in the naval service should be re-

without delay to the proper authori-
ties.
Duty to Report Violations
Those to whom a knowledge OF a
violation of this order comes shall
consider it a serious official duty to
report the matter immediately to the
Navy Department for disciplinary
action.
This order shall be read to the
crews of all naval vessels and shall
be posted in conspicuous places on
board all ships OF the navy. Chiefs
of bureaus and commandants Of navy
yards and stations will see that it is
brought to the attention Of all per-
sons, civil and military, under their
orders.

occasions endeavored TO impress upon

the restoration of the St6tUs quo ante. IL was the
status quo ante out Of which this niquitous war
issued forth, the power of the Imperial German
Government within the empire and Its widespread
domination and influence outside of that empire
That status must be altered in such fashion as TO
prevent any such hideous thing from ever happen
ing again.
We are fighting for the liberty, the sef-govern-
ment and the indicated development of all peoples,
and every feature of the settlement that concludes
this war must be conceived and executed for that
purpose Wrongs must first be righted and then
adequate safeguards must be created to prevent
their being committed again We ought not to con-
slider remedies merely because they have pleasing
and sonorous sound Practical questions can be
settled only by practical Phrases will not
accomplish the result. Effective readjustments will;
and whatever readjustments are necessary must
be made.
But they must follow principle and that prin-
cple is plain. No people must be forced under
sovereignty under which it does not wish to live.
No territory must change hands except for the pur-
pose of securing those who inhabt it fair chance
of life and liberty. No indemnties must be insisted
on except those that constitute payment for mani
fest wrongs done No readjustments of power must
be made except such as will tend TO secure the
future peace of the world and the future welfare
and happiness of its peoples.
And then the free peoples of the world must
draw together in some common covenant, some
genuine and practical cooperation that will IN effect
combine their force to secure peace and justice IN
the dealings of nations with one another. The
brotherhood of mankind must no longer be fair
but empty phrase; it must be given structure OF
force and reality. The nations must realize their
common life and effect workable partnership to
secure that life against the aggressons Of auto
cratic and self-pleasing power
For these things we afford to pour out blood
and treasure For these are the things we have
always professed to desire, and unless we pour out
blood and treasure now and succeed, We may never
be able to unite show conquering force again in
the great cause of human liberty. The day has
come to conquer or submit.
If the forces of autocracy divide US, they will
overcome us; if we stand together victory is GER
tain and the liberty which victory will secure. We
can afford then to be generous, but we cannot
afford. then or now, to be weak omit any single
guarantee of justice and security.

New-York tribune., 1917-06-10

Washington, June 9.-Convinced that
valuable naval information is reaching
the enemy, Secretary Daniels issued an
order to-day, at the urgent request OF
Admiral Benson, chief of operations,
forbidding all persons in the naval SER
vice to discuss. except officially, even
among themselves or with the members
of their families, "any question relating
to the disposition, movements or pro-
posed movements Of naval or military
forces"
The department acted only after Off
GERS of the intelligence division had
reported that information, the nature
of which was not disclosed, had leaked
through to Germany.
Mr.. Daniels said he had hesitated to
issue the order for many days, not de-
string to hamper unduly officers and
others in the service, but that his mill
tary advisers had been very urgent.
1
any person in the navy had revealed
the plans Of the department, except
through inadvertence.
The order follows:
Navy Secrets Reach Enemy
The Navy Department has reason
to believe that information Of a char
acter most valuable to the enemy
and which might prove most disas-
trous to the navy has in some way
reached the enemy.
In view of the strenuous efforts
that have been made TO prevent the
dissemination of such information,
the department relieves that in prac-
tcally every Instance this has re-
suited from certain information be-
ing given in confidence to or spoken
in the presence of a close relative
or friend, who, failing TO appre-
ciate the gravity Of the offence. in

Washington, June 9.-President vii.
son, in a note to the Provisional Rus
sian Government made public to-day
puts the world upon notice that res
toration of the status quo ante as a
basis for peace would be unacceptable
10 the United States. This is the first
American expression of "peace aims"
1t is couched in very remark able Ian
guage, and will undoubtedly produce
profound impression upon owrld opin-
ion.
America is for neither indemnities
nor annexstions, says Mr.. Wilson, er-
cept such as will make a restoration OF
the status quo ante impossible, for the
locution status quo ante is now a Ger
man refuge and WAS the German source
of all the horror that has fallen on the
world.

Appeals TO People

'PPNe'o W NoP'N
Aside from its great political sig
nificance, perhaps the most interesting
fact about the Presidents note is that
it is addressed to the Russian peo-
pie, whose views on the great issue
, of keeping up the war or making
separate peace no ono here knows
and about which perhaps no one in
Petrograd is any better informed. II
has been the habit in Administration
circles lately to say that in reyclu-
tions, as in elections, we hear from the
towns first
! Petrograd has been heard from, or
part Of IL, against continuing a war 10
redress ancient wrongs" whatever
that means. This message is evidently
directed TO the great voiceless re-
mainder Of the country, which has been
misinformed about this real attitude.
as we'll as to the radicals in tho capi-
tai, whose idealism threatens the con-
! tinued partnership of the Allies.
Issues Much BecIouded"
II is understood here that the United
States has been represented in Russia
as in sympathy with the programme OF
the Socialist leaders who declare for no
territorial aggrandizement and no in
IDENTITIES. Apparently, in contradic-
tion Of this and similar misrepresenta-
tions, President Wilson early in his let
ter takes occasion to say that the OBJ
jects for which this country entered the
war "have been very much beclouded
during the last few weeks By mistaken
and misleading statements"
The note, though far from being
specific, aligns the United States with
the Allies in regard TO the general OBJ
jects of the war. The principle upon
which settlement should be reached is
laid down as follows:
'No people must be forced under
sovereignty under which it does not
wish to live. No territory must change
hands except for the purpose of secur-
ing those who inhabit it fair chance
Of life and liberty. No indemnities
must be insisted on except those that
constitute payment for manifest
wrongs done. No readjustments Of
power must be made except such as
will tend to secure the future peace
of the world and the future welfare
and happiness of its peoples.
As To Future Guarantees.
THAT covers in somewhat more
idesistic way and in language such as
the President loves to use substan-
TALLY the aim of the Allies as set forth
in their famous phrase restitution
and reparation," so often used by
them in regard TO terms of peace.
The third element in the familiar
Allied programme guarantees for the
future, President Wilson abandons for
his own favorite idea an international
guaranty of peace based upon a COM
binaton OF free peoples.
The language used implies that this
country stands with its allies in favor
OF free Belgium, a restored Alssce
Lorraine, a reconstructed Poland. prob
ably the return Of the Italian part OF
Austria TO Italy and other changes IN
