The comment Of the New York
papers on President wilson's address
in the Senate yesterday follows:
"The SUM-" under the caption, "A So
cialism of Nationalities?" says:
For at least thousand years TO
come a certain fact of yesterday Will
stand among the double starred curl
osities of history. 1t is the fact that
the same President of the United
States who through administrative IN
efficiency failed for nearly four years
to secure peace just across our own
border in Mexico mounted rostrum
where he had no business TO be to
lecture the whole world on the terms
upon which peace in Europe should
be made and on the manner IN which
peace in Europe and elsewhere should
thereafter be maintained.
"The country would be good deal
better off and in a much more favor
able position to aid effectively in the
cause of peace. when the time comes
and the opportunity develops, II nv

kind not included within the scope OF
his official oath. That is why the pub
lie opinion abroad which he seeks TO
influence. with intentions which we
persist in regarding as credltaole 10
him, will contemplate his latest deliver
ance with irritation mingled with
amusement in some quarters, put win
amazement everywhere
"The World" under the heading
"The Peace of Democracy" says;
Before asking how Europe Will re-
spond to the Presidents message, we
must first ask how the American peo-
pie themselves will respond to 1t. they
cannot actualize this vision OF new
democracy of mankind, OF republic,
so to speak. of the nations, without
putting all their power and all their
resources back of it.
ar they are afraid to risk anything
in helping to maintain the peace and
integrity of other nations, they NAV
some time be compelled TO risk every
thing in maintaining their own inteG,
rity at incaculable cost of blood and
treasure.
"Our own belief is that President
Wilson has enunciated the broad prin-
ciples of liberty and justice upon which
alone a durable peace is possible and
under which the democracy of the
world can ultimately come into its
own"
"The American" says the most forci-
BILE point in the Presidents address is
the reference TO the freedom of the
s.as, and continues:
"The freedom Of the seas and the
observance of the rights Of neutrals
under the agreements and the laws of
nations those are tbs two paramount
demands upon which America must in
sist.
And If We are to secure those essen
tial rights, we must not depend upon
treaties or conventions or declarations

CHANGING CURRENTS
BRING NEW FISH

SAN FRANCISCO. Oct 4-That a
change in ocean currents within the
last year is bringing new species of
fish TO water of San Francisco is the
belief OF fishermen and of w. r.
Bailey, chief clerk of the State Fish
Exchange, as the result OF recent
catches of fish heretofore little known
here.
One of the most remarkable catches
was made recently when fishermen
made haul of $4,000 pounds of place.
a species of sole most common in
waters around the British isles and
some parts of the Atlantic.
Another catch made last week bear
ing out the theory OF the change in
currents. was that of $500 pounds of
halibut. Catches of halibut have been
almost unknown. here, although II had
been imported here in large quantities
from British Columbia before the war.
Mackeral and grayfish are two other
new fish that fishermen have lately
been catching. Both are known on
the southern Atlantic coast. Fisher
men also have caught 500 pounds OF
grayfish, which, according to Bailey,
is the first time grayfish has appeared
on any record of fish caught here.
The theory of change in ocean cur.
rents is based upon the facts that
fish follow their food, algea and dia.
toms, which in turn, are carried by the
currents.
