WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE en-
tente reply TO President Wilson's note
began arriving this morning at the

COurteous and Friendly.
From all the recent press dispatches
from abroad, editorial expressions and
reports OF the allied conference at
Rome, were interpreted as indicating
the tenor OF the reply was vigorous but
would be courteous and friendly reply
to President Wilson's communication
and would not absolutely close the door
on another move on his part
Diplomats were privately OF The
opinion that from the very nature OF
the subject another move by the presi-
dent would not be out oi the question
whatever the character OF the reply,
should he choose to make il the occa-
sion for one.
Must Await Answer.
II was officially denied some time
ago that he had another move in con-
temptation. but tina, was before the en-
teate had replied, Obviously, dplo-
mats pointed out he could not contem-
plate move until he had their answer
The same well informed forces tina,
some time ago let it be known tina,
another move was being contemplated
said today tina, the president would no,
abandon his efforts for peace unless the
reply was Something wholly unexpected

TURKEY NOT AGGRESSOR
Flood Cheered in Defense Of
Wilson's Wish Not to Include
Other Teutonic Allies.

Washington, Dec. IA declaration
of war with Austria Hungary was vot
ed by congress to-day.
Representative Flood spoke atlength
upon the reasons for not extending
the declaration to- Germany's other
allies. He said such step merely
would strengthen Germany's hold up
on Bulgaria and Turkey.
The situation of the American mis-
sionaries in Turkey, now being well
treated, was also touched upon and
Mr.. Flood pointed out that while Turk
ish interests in the United States are
insignificant, those Of the United
States in the Ottoman empire are
very large. There is nothing to fear
from Turks in this country, he said,
as most of them are Christians, Assy-
rians and Armenians.
The attitude of the house was indi-
Gated by the cheering Of Representa-
tive Floods reply.
