CANADIANS CRITICIZE THE
PRESIDENTS PEACE PLANS

OTTAWA, Jan. 29.-The peace pro
posals of President Wilson were crit
cized in the Canadian Senate
by Senator Pope, who represents
! one of the English-speaking districts
I of the Province of Quebec, and who
/ has been a member of Parliament for
many years.
| Senator Pope offered a resolution
providing that in 1.-The opinion of the
| Senate of Canada only representatives
of nations which have taken part or
| have been engaged in the present war
should participate in the negotiations
for peace"
The President of the United States,
he said has just declared to the world
that there should be peace without
Victory To him, Senator Pope said
that seemed absurd, and it would ap-
pear that President Wilson Thought he
still was lecturing students in college
rather than speaking to grown men
involved in a desperate and vital
struggle.
! If the success of Presidents Wilson's
efforts to accomplish peace, in the
present instance, were not greater
than had been the success of his peace
efforts in Mexico, the world would
have to look for some other man with
some other method of bringing aboLt
termination of the methods by which
war could be carried on. The Senator
protested that no one knew better than
President Wilson that every article
of international law for the conduct
of war had been violated by Germany
hundred times; that Germany hal
invaded Belgium even before the decla-
ration of war; that Belgian women
and children had been killed and
manned by German soldiers; that
countless atrocities had been commit
ted by land and sea: that Americans
had been sent 70 their deaths with
other helpless, harmless people on
the Lusitania. Knowing all these
things, President Wilson, in his peace
message, had the audacity to say, Sen
ator Pope averred, that Germany
and the Entente Allies should sit
down to the same council board

PRESIDENT REBUKES OPPO-
NENTS OF NATIONAL GUARD

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-PresiGeiit
Wilson, speaking recently TO a del
egation from the Maryland League
for National Defense, which attacked
the national guard and advocated uni
versal military training, rebuked them
for their "unrestrained language
and said they would have a better
chance of his support if they were
more reasonable in their attitude.
The memorial read to the Presi.
dent by Major Randolph Barton spoke
of the national guard system as a
disgrace" and a failure" Ii urg-
ed universal compulsory military train
ing and service, and mentioned the
mobilization of the national guard
along the Mexican border as an exam
pie of 1.-The failure" of the system.
President Wilson told the delegation
their attitude closed the Opportunity
for discussion of the question and was
not helpful.
The President, discussing compulsory
military service, declared that un-
questionably physical training was
needed and would accomplish great
deal. but it can be had without com
pulsory military service" He added
he was DESTROYS of doing the wise
thing. and that the entire subject was
receiving him most earnest considera-
ton. He vigorously defended the ef.
forts being made in Congress to buIii
up proper military service.
81 do not need to prove to you or
ANYBODY my deep interest in this sub
iect." said the President. Il will
frankly say to you | would have beel
more impressed by this memorial If il
had been expressed in more restrained
language. From some of the unqual'
flied statements in this paper | must
frankly dissent. | think ii is due to
my colleagues TO say so at this Oil
hand condemnation of the system
which they adopted after long debate
upon the urgency of many of the lead
ing citizens OF the country; it is the
least that | can do. You do not CON-
mend a cause which deserves the
most serious consideration by pre-
senting it as you have presented it.
These things impress me the more
after what We have heard from the
medical societies. UnquesSionabiy
physical training is needed and will
accomplish a great deal, but it can be
had without compulsory military ser
wee. and compulsory military service
does not meet the difficulties you have
alluded to-"

THE BUGLE CALL TO PRAYER
FOR SOLDIER BOYS"

On Thursday afternoon at the Cen
trail Methodist church there was a
called meeting of the women of the
church, to which the women of every
other church in the city were invited,
to discuss plans for organized effort
in these times of strain and sorrow to
keep alive the spirit of prayer, that
men may be sustained by the con-
seriousness of the spirit and power
of God.
Following are some of the plans
suggested:
l. Every woman is urged to have
membership in the Red Cross So
ciety.
g. Organize Prayer Circles for de-
finite prayer that the soldiers may be
fortified in character and made strong
to resist temptation.
List all soldiers and officers, in
GLIDING physicians and chaplains, who
go out from the church membership
or congregation, giving name of regi-
ment, company and home address.
a. Place scrolls with these names
in the church that they may be fol-
lowed by definite prayer at all serv-
ices.
5. Appoint letter writers to send
regular messages from the church and
congregation to the soldiers in camp
and at the front
E. Have the letter writers keep the
home church informed concerning
these men.
l. Let each church make an urgent
call to its membership to assist in
preparation of materials needed in
sickness, suffering and travel. This
is to be done according to govern
ment registration 1t was decided TO
hold these prayer meetings every
Thursday afternoon during the sum
mer months at the different churches.
The name of the Prayer Circle is "The
Bugle Call to Prayer for Soldier
Boys"
The next meeting will be held next
Thursday afternoon at four o'clock at
the Baptist church. Every woman of
every denomination is invited to at

Atlanta, Ga, July 3-What the gov

mature experience, men of proven

the type of man Uncle Sam is looking
for to lead his armies into the fhgting

wants men who make business and
personal sacrifice when they go into

ing power is greater by far than the
salaries they will draw as officers,
men who have character and steadi-
ness and poise, and the ability to give
commands and have them executed.

should be supported 1t was his
guess that the war would last two or
three years, and it was his fear and
belief that million Americans would

A previous speaker, Capt. Wilson
| Davinney, Spanish-American war
veteran, now field secretary for the.

gress, in stirring address had asked
the people to comprehend the gray-
lty OF the war and had urged that
Congress do its full duty. He said
that Congress had not yet appropriate
ed money to buy machinery to make
the rifles with which to equip the
American army to be organized this
fall.
Senator Hardwick's address was
received with courtesy, and the pass
ages in which the speaker and audi
ence were in accord brought stirring
applause, but as a whole it was re-
ceived with strong but silent disap-
proval. AS the crowd broke up the
