of the details of the address on the
ground that the big principle involved
should be left as clear as possible with
out confusing il in side issues. Its
phrases are understood TO have been
left rather purposely indefinite in some
sections, in order to be as flexible to
different shades OF opinion and desire
as was the Entente statement of terms
in the note TO the President.
"A free. independent and autonomous
Poland" for example, is calculated to
give pause to both Germany and Rus
STA. and 20 be a recognition of the
right of nationality, which both ma
tions have upheld, that may cause each
embarrassment, though eventually
leading 10 a solution.
The mention of freedom Of wor-
ship" also is an equivocal statement
which might be taken TO refer TO Jews
in Russia and also to Armenians and
Syrians in Turkey.
Seaport Question Intricate
The natural right Of nations to q sea
applies equally to Poland, Austria, Rus
STA and Serbia. and in some cases cuts
across nationalistc territorial rights
which could be squared only by the
naturalization of the disputed section,
as, say. the Dardanelles for Russia,
TriesJ for Austria. East Prussia for
Poland. or Montenegro for Serbia.
The most fiery argument is expected
abroad, with all kinds of double inter-
pretations on that section dealing with
the necessity Of government resting on
the consent of the governed and the
immortality of passing peoples back and
fpf-4h ~ 20 hn
other.
Whether this contemplates a criti-
cism of certain claims for territory, a.
that of France for Alsace Lorraine, of
Italy for the Trentino, Rumania for
Pennsylvania. or Austria for parts Of
Serbia, Bulgaria for parts of Rumania
and so forth. is unknown, but it is GER
tain to be widely discussed.
Germany Blocked Disarming
Mention Of disarmament as "the most
immediate and intensely practical
question connected with the future
fortunes of nations and of mankind"
caused surprise in some quarters, as
/ President Wilson was not known TO
have had such decided views on that
subject. Also it recalls the fact that
the first Hague conference. in 1899, was
called for that distinct purpose and
failed with the second conference be
cause Germany gave word that she
would withdraw if the subject were
given general debate.
Despite that the British, French and
American delegates all Endorsed the
plan warmly. It has been felt in Ger
many that such plan is impracticable,
As there is no common denomination by
which armament can he reduced pro-
portionately all over the world at the
same time.

"PAN-GERMANISM" AUTHOR
CALLS PLAN MASTERPIECE
Says Wilson Has Announced Way
Future Peace Can BE Kept

ny iNANela4A 70 A4l il4NntNsl
st. Louis, Jan. 22.-President Will
sons peace speech will have no imme-
diate effect upon the war, according to
Professor Roland G.. Usher. who holds
the chair of history at Washington
University. and who is the author of
an-Germanism. lie declared that
the speech was the ablcst paper yet
prepared by Mr.. Wilson. because it pre-
sents n complete analysis OF the situa-
ton. while previous utterances were in
complete.
"The President sketched the real
outline for peace" said Professor
Usher ale is quite right in believing
that II the war ends with anything less
than the conditions outlined in the adj
dress il will not be a real peace, but
cnly a new system of allegiances.
"The address is an absolute condem-
nation of alliances and of territorial
relation alignments. The President be-
licves that the principles upon which
the problems of various nations are
settled must be consistent. They must
not act in one way 20 one nation and
IN yet another way TO other nations.
Ale cites Poland as an example Of a
nation which has been subject to varied
treatment. lie could equally well have
cited Ireland or any other country
which wants TO govern itself, and which
az present is being governed. What the
President demands is peace without
victory. This is precisely what the ma
icrity in both coalitions are convinced
is not enough"

aspirations and smiable sentiments
and declares that the belllgerents feel
the desire for peace at least as much
as do neutrals.
ut is only when We get down 20 the
question of how peace is 10 be attained
and maintained" says "The Post,
that we might find ourselves in DIS
agreement"
The paper proceeds to analyze az
length the Presidents statements,
meeting them with counter statements,
and appealing to incidents OF Amer
lean history in support Of the latter
it says:
According to President Wilson
logic il would have been better for
Lincoln TO have met the Southern lead
ers upon the field, shaken hands and
agreed upon peace.
'If President Wilson desires 10 end
the war let him come in and help US
end il. lie will then have the oppor-
tunity of lighting for liberty and all
those other great principles which, hs
We have always been taught 70 believe
Americans hold dearer than life itself.
But il his enthusiasm for these prin-
o;rles will not carry him so far HIS
rext best course is TO leave IL 70 the
Allies 10 secure them for the world by
the only way in which they can be Sc
cured-that is to say, by victory"

NEUTRAL DUTY TO URGE
PEACE, SAYS NEW CODE
international Law Institute Drafts
Declaration of Rights

Havana, Jan. PA proposed neu-
trality code defining the rights of neu-
trail nations in time Of war was pre-
scented TO the American Institute OF
International Law, meeting here to-
day. II was referred 10 the twenty
one institutes of the American re-
publics for ratification.
The most striking feature Of this
new code is a statement that nations
must not only try to prevent wars,
but "if they cannot prevent the con-
fiict they must put into operation all
possible means of bringing it 10 an
end without delay, for neutrality is
not only a duty Of impartiality, but
also a Humanitarian duty of peace
making"
Another feature OF the programme
provides for the absolute freedom Of
the seas TO neutral commerce with bel
liCerent nations, and for the fixing of
contraband lists, not by the belliger-
ents. but by the neutrals. This would
be accomplished by calling confer
ence of neutral nations at The Hague
Immediately on the declaration OF war
Careful consideration OF neutral
rights and duties was urged in letter
from Secretary OF STATE Lansing. The
letter. which was addressed TO Dr..
James Brown Scott, OF Washington,
president of the institute and chair
man of the United States Neutrality
Board. added that, although during the
present war definite declarations
should be avoided by the institute, ~
the time seemed opportune to eX-
chang views on neutrality and pos
sible means of alleviating in the future
the burdens which grow more heavy
and vexatious the longer the present
state Of war lasts"
A programme Of world federation;
including a world court and world
legislature. was outlined by Dr. Scott
Emphasizing that any invasion Of q
neutral right affects all neutrals. DR.
Scott cited protests on the genera,
ground of neutral rights made by
France. Prussia and Austria IN the
Mason and Slidell case, in which the
right of Britain only had been invaded
by the United States.

Wilson a Pioneer
"The Times" receives certain broad
impressions that can hardly be mis-
taken" II believes that President Will
son is the first head of mighty state
who has proposed as a scheme of prac-
teal politics what has been "the dream
of many thinkers for a great number
of centuries" But it doubts whether,
though it must appeal TO the magma
ton and hearts of all men. their judg-
ment will give it unreserved approval.
The paper says:
at is not necessary TO follow the
President in his eloquent description of
the evils of a victory peace. IL is
enough to say that the Allies believe
that a victory peace Is essential, as
Lincoln believed it to be essential in
the Civil War. There can be no drawn
war between the spirit of Prussian mill
tarism and the spirit of real peace,
which the Allies and Americans, indeed,
all neutrals, desire. The Allies can

WILSON HOPES
FOR ANSWER
Continued from page l

Borah and others TO an Endorsement
n the Presidents original note.
With a policy that is recognized as
more revolutionary than any in for
,,rn affairs since President Monroe
-oupciated his famous doctrine, and,
indeed. with wider possibilities than
probably any other step in American
Aistory, the Administration is prepar-
,ng for formidable and a conscien-
:ons struggle trsnscending ordinary
political bounds.
Opposition in the Entente countries
"a expected 20 centre on the propose
.ion that this should be a war without
victory. Both the Entente reply TO the
Presidents note and the supplementary
s.atement emphasized the belief that
an Allied victory over so-called Ger
man militarism and lust for conquest
was essential TO any kind Of world
well-being.
The Allies have indicated that they
believe the greatest moral value that
will come from the war will be that
Of victory over force that disre-
CARDS international treaties.
Free Seas" Hits England
The demand for the freedom of the
seas. while indefinite in actual practice.

England. where it will be pointed out
hat that has been Germany's chief
ralyine cry since England entered u,
war. Throughout, England has main
aimed that the seas are indeed free
that her navy does not contain the
menace of a vast land military sys-
TEN. and that il is essential to her far
flung empire. II is assumed that free
dom Of the seas would be worked out
By exempting private property from
seizure as on land, and by limiting the
rights of blockade.
The Central Powers are expected 70
ind an indirect criticism in the con-
trsst of their offer of a conference with
their enemies in their reply to the
Presidents note with his statement
that "the Entente Powers have replied
much more definitely" to his sugges-
lion. Nevertheless, it is taken to give
them a further opportunity for dis
cussion of peace which officials here
have had every reason to believe they
would welcome.

No Sympathy for Sufferers
"The Daily Maip says:
president Wilson's address is large
~ an abstract ponttical statement OF
a future international morality. On the
practical question Of how it is to be
applied to the situation IS 1t stands to-
day there is only one sentence the
demand for a free autonomous Poland.
For any expression of sympathy with
those who are shedding their blood for
freedom we search the speech in vain.
ITO the members of the Senate, no
doubt, the speech must have sounded
like a humane utterance. But we, who
can only read the Presidents cold
words. are left to wonder whether he
spoke as the head of an American
University or as the Chief Magistrate
Of flesh and blood republic.
Germany has declared that she re-
CARDS treaties as scraps OF paper. 1t
would have been interesting 70 learn
from the President how she Is 70 be
induced 70 keep any treaties OF peace
if she is not defeated. And when he
speaks OF peace without a victory,
We can only envy him his remoteness
from the reality Of war"
