CADETS MAY BE HEARD.
Proposed That They Appear Before
Senate Military Committee.

Members of the High School Cadet
Corps of Washington may appear in
the near future before the Senate COM
mittee having in charge military af-
fairs and urge compulsory military
education. The National Association
for Universal Military Training has
written the officials of the public
schools of the District, asking that a
group of boys be selected for this pur-
pose.
Although the officials have not taken
UP this matter at length as yet. it is
considered unlikely by them that the
schools could do this. At the same
time it is not probable the officials
would do anything to discourage a
grou Of cadets from doing so. If the
boys themselves saw fit. They could
aot represent the schools. however. in
all probability.

Speaks for Home People.

Mr.. Works asked whether the senator
would withhold justice from the clerk
because some one is clamoring for his
place. Mr.. Smith said he would see,
first, whether the clerk was worth his
pay. He wanted to speak in behalf
of the people at home on the farms
who are paying the salaries.
Mr.. Works asked whether the. govern
rnent is justified in paying starvation
wages because starvation wages are paid
outside.
Mr.. Smith said the average pay OF
school teachers in the country was $500 a
year, and Mr.. Works asked him if he
thought that was a fair wage TO be paid
teachers, to which Mr.. Smith replied that
he would like to see it higher.
Mr.. Smith read statistics of wages
paid farm labor and school teachers in
many states.
Mr.. Wadsworth wanted to know if Mr.
Smith had taken into account the allow
ance for board to farm labor and usual
ly to teachers.
Mr MARITIME said that in New Jersey
all farm labor is allowed board and
lodging, and in many cases comfortable
homes.

More Pay for Teachers.

Mr. Oliver said that in Pennsylvania
there is a general movement to advance
the pay of school teachers. based upon
the increased cost of living, the very
principle back of this proposed increase
Mr.. Clapp pointed out that the farm
hand is boarded and lodged and the
farmer gets his living off the farm,
while the government clerk has to pay
rent and has to buy everything he
uses. so the comparison in wages Is
not just.
Senator Borah said that if the living
EXPENSES of the farm hand Were added
to his wages he would get more than
the government clerk. Senator Sfni tn
said he was not calculating the farm
hand as living in Washington. Sena-
tor Borah said he was figuring on the

Splendid Policy Nobly Expressed ,

The Manchester Guardian. comment
ing on President Wilson's speech to the
Senate, calls it "a splendid policy. nobly
expressed"
The Guardian says:
The speech, in form. was addressed
to the Senate. but it equally concerns
ourselves and our adversaries in the
war The President has no intention of
taking any part in the actual negotia-
lions of terms of peace; that he leaves
wholly to the belligerents. He simply
comes forward now to state in unmis-
taxable terms. both for his own people
and for the other peoples of the world,
every one of whom is directly con-
cerned. what kind of peace it is which
he will consent to call upon his coun-
trymen to approve and sustain"
lhc Standard refers TO President Will
on's speech astounding, and, speaking
# German claims of victory and the en-
,erE. continues:
in other words, mediation is premature
md if persisted in could be interpreted
pnly as a desire to help the party which
liready claims to have won. Moreover
it is not clear by what title. legal or
moral President Wilson assumes that he
,as son!e right to shape the destinies of

He did not protest against the in
'rinpement of The Hague conventions.

aathy with the sufferings of France. Bel.

Comment Caustic in Paris.

PARIS, January 23.-president WILL
sons address to the Senate is printed
In full In the most prominent place by
all the morning papers and comment
as a whole is sympathetic but skeptical
The Petit Parisien says:
1T seems that President Wilson. as
in his previous note, has mistakenly
placed the states attacked and the as
gressors on the same footing when the
distinction was an easy one, which he
was in conscience bound to make. With
that stipulation we can only subscribe
to the formulae which the President
sets forth as a basis of future peace.
None Of his conceptions can offend us.
They are ours. They were ours long
oppose them. 1t gives us only pleasure
to see these plans for liberty and
justice eloquently upheld by Mr.. Will
son. But what will Germany and
Austria say?"
The Matin says: ''In entire agree
principles enunciated by him. we.
nevertheless, shall believe. until more
fully informed. that there is a portion
OF humanity upon which these prin
ciples must be imposed by force; for
it would be erroneous to suppose they
could be led to accept them from con-
viction.'
The Journal says: mfr. Wilson is
obsessed with the idea of inaugurating
for the world a golden age of universal
brotherhood. His whole message is
dominated by that noble chimera, and
that must be invoked as an excuse in
order to attenuate the impression
cannot fail to make on the allied
countries.
