SAVING $55,00O
HOUSE EXPENSE

Springfield, H., Jan. 24.-The pres
ent general assembly will be economi-
cal, according to bills providing for
session expenses Instead of appro-
priatiCns of $4,000 for committee ex-
penses and 100000 for employees, paid
out by the last general assembly, the
present legislature will spend only
$4,000 for committee expenses and
$4,000 for employees. This is a total
saving of $4,000 in two items.
Besides this there will be a material
saving in incidental expenses which
totaled $4,000 in the last session.
This time the senate is asking for
$4,000 and the house for $4,000 and
the secretary OF state for $4,000 for
ircidentals. This is total of $4,000
O.; saving on incidentals of $4,000.
The total amount of legislative ex-
rcnses therefore will be $4,000 less
than in Ire last assembly.

generation of preparation, suddenly
flung the whole of Europe into war.
We are not going to stop at any
thing short of a conclusive peace. with
victory at arms, and when We say
that we mean we intend that the Ger
man military machine shall be crip-
pied for without il peace could not
come. Ii we win this war we shall in
sist that Germany give back Alsaee
and Lorraine TO France. Can that be
done without military victory. or can
Seryia be restored, or ROumania, with
out victory at arms?'
Realization of President Wilson's
ideals of world peace must be based
entirely upon decisive victory. How
can there there be consent OF the gov
erned without a free democracy?
Would a Europe governed by the
H0henzollern regime be Europe under
the consent of the governed?'
IF the Allies consented to peace
without victory it would be nothing
more than a peace compromise. That
would mean only fresh outbreak al
a time when the nations that sought
relief in compromise found them
selves forced sooner or later into an
other conflict.
"In speaking of the freedom Of tht
seas the President does not dis
tinguish between freedom in time o
peace or war, There is g great dif

London, Jan. pa considerable
section OF the British Press has taken
otfense at President Wilson's peace
league speech. Editorials published
today after forty eight hour analysis
of the American executives proposals
indicate that the British government,
as well as the governments of the
countries allied with England will
adopt a negative attitude towards the
proposition OF Peace without vic
tory"
However, not all Of the newspapers
are hostile to the peace league plan
as outlined by Presidnt Wilson. In
addition to this there are "neutrals
among the press that believe, while
the peace league principles could not
be accepted as whole, it furnishes
the groundwork for action, which will
prevent future wars.
The Ncifists are haiing President
Wilson's speech as an heroic utter
ance The President himself, has been
elevated by the pacific faction to a
pedestal OF glory This is shown by
the tumult of applause which greeted
the mention of the American execu-
tive's name at the labor meeting in
Manchester
But on the other hand there is
strong resentment expressed by those
who believe that the war should be
fought out to a decisive conclusion
In this connection Prof Albert F.
Pollard the historian. said:
President Wilson uses the term
Peace without victory and says
that is what the belligerents imply by
their statements when they speak Of
the ultimate end of the war and as
