WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-Pres.-
dent Wilson's historic address to the
world is before the senate today. IL
seemed certain early today consider
alton would be confined for the pres
ent to the question of whether on
Monday there shall be full and un-
limited debate on the proposals made
by the president.
Republicans led by Senators Cum
Minis and Jones, promised pltteC
fight to have this done. They Will
be as bitterly opposed by Senator
Stone. chairman of the foreign rela'
tions committee and Administrations
senate leaders. Stone wants his COIN
mittee to consider the matter before
there is open debate on it.
Tt appears that, however, before
this preliminary question is decided,
there will be acriminous debate ana
discussion of the address.
If the Cummins resolution permit
ting two hours debate from each SEN
ator on the subject Monday fails, he
and several others will Ego it alone
Mt the first opportunity they can get
the floor for that purpose. In the
meantime the real audience, the
president wanted to address-the
, people of this country and Of all bel
ligerent countries-as we'll as gov
ernment heads, have begun to discuss
the address.
During the week, statesmen In
every belligerent nation, 1t is be-
lieyed. will have publicly spoken Ap'
proyal or condemnation Of the presl-
dent. appeal for world wide exten'
sion and application of the principles
OF the Monroe doctrine.
By the end of the week the presf-
dent is expected to receive rather
definite impression Of how the peo-

minutes with Foreign Secretary Zim-

Meanwhile the presidents sent,.

viewed with interest and favor.
Whether Germany can take official

Secoud-BecAuse it is believed that
Germany cannot make further moves
toward peace after the insulting re-

made by the allies.
Third-Because officials desire to
await senate debate on the presi-
dents address, feeling that q state
ment from Germany-even one dls-
cussing peace terms-would be an
interference in American affairs.
Fourth-Germany does not con-
slider the time opportune to state her
