wilson's Address was Sent to Warning
Nations Over II Week Ago. Open
Message TO World,


Message 10 World,
Washington, jar. Z2.-Prcsident
Wilson's address waE sent to American
diplomats in the belligercnt countries
last Monday, two days before the Unit
ed States received the note from Min
ister Balfour, of the British foreign Of
flee, supplementing the Entente reply
to his peace note, and on the same day
that German Foreign Minister Zim-
norman declared it was impossible for
the Central powers to openly lay down
their terms.
The presidents address was intend
cd as an open message TO the world
of the condition under which he would
urge the United States to enter a world
federation to guarantee future peace.
There is nothing in the address or in
the instructions which accompany its
presentation that will Of itself necessi-
tate an answer according TO the ad-
ministration view, but some response
nevertheless is expected from both
groups of belligerents.
Fear Of leak" surrounded the
sending of the address abroad with
such secrecy as has seldom been
equalled in the state department.
Only President Wilson, Secretary
Lansing and the men who transmitted
it are known definitely to have been
aware if it.
President Wilson and Secretary
Lansing expect the present move will
provoke indignation in the foreign
press as was the case with the Presi-
dents original note Of Dec. 18. They
feel that in statement of pisition
as full as the Presidents both sides
may feel they have been unjustly at
tackled and as result they look for
bitter outburst in the more violent
press.
Officials also expect antagonism in
this country to any abandonment Of
the traditional policy of American
isolation.
