OF PRESIDENT BY
LONDON PAPERS
Daily News Praises De-
mands For Peace Bas-
ed on Generosity
mo HALF TONES"
SAYS THE TIMES
''War Aims Of The Allies
No Longer Imperialis-
tic" Says Graphic
!. fBy Assoctated : Press. } :.


London. Dec. 5.-President VIII
sonls message to congress has the
fullest possible prominence in the
morning newspapers, but it reached
London too late for much considered
comment. The Daily News receives
warmly the Presidents declaration
that peace should be based on gem
erosity and justice TO the exclusion
of selfish claims. 1t adds:
'Tt would be affectation to pre-
tend that this language echoes the
declarations of the European spokes-
men of the alliance. 1t is the voice
of a statesman whose vision compre-
hends the world, while theirs COM
prehends only half a world.
IF President Wilson could have
said earlier what he said yesterday
and il in Great Britain, France and
Italy the responsible leaders had
made his language their own, Russia
might be today driving the enemies
from her borders"
The Times says there are no half
tones in the Presidents address, add
ing:
There are no ambiguous phrases
on which militarists may feed the IL
lusions OF their dupes, no hints OF
compromise and no suggestion OF
faltering or doubt to raise the spirits
of the pacific. With this
and logical state
ment of Americas war aims the last
hope of the pacifists must founder"
The Times reiterates that formerly
lit expressed dissent with President
Wilson's distinctions between the
German people and their rulers and
says it can no more distinguish be-
tween them than the President can
any longer distinguish between Ger
many and Austria Hungary. believ-
ing them willing accomplices OF their
ruler.
The Daily Graphic says:
Whether this restatements 50 lofty
in spirit, so forward looking In eff
feet, will have any influence on Ger
man opinion is doubtful. Then the
only resort is to infiict such a n1ili-
tary defeat upon Germany as to con-
vince the Germans of the infamous. :.
ness OF their rulers. In this cohnec-
ton it is an excellent omen that the
conference in Paris reached such a
complete unanimlty. America was
represented at the conference and
there follows that the war aims OF
the allies no longer can be described
in any sense as imperialistic.'

To-day / entered into Mohilev

troops. The headquarters was entire
Iy surrounded without lighting The
last obstacle to the cause Of peace
has fallen.
II cannot be silent on the sad act
OF lynch law, practiced upon the
former commander-tn- chief, General
Dukhonin. Popular hatred surpassed
the limits OF reason and In spite Df
all attempts TO save him. he was
thrown out OF a railroad train ct the

OF General Korniloff. the day before
the fall OF headquarters, was the
cause Of this excess.
Il cannot allow tho banner % the

necessary strongly TO condemn such
acts. A revolutionary people are
fearful in a struggle. but they must
be soft after victory.

CUBAN REVOLT NEARING END.
Complex Political Situation Win Re-
main, However.

Washington, Feb. 23-Further reassur-
ing reports from Havaha strengthened
the opinion of state department officials
that the instruction of the Cuban Lib
erals is nearing an end. 1t is realized,
however, that a most complex political
situation has been left in the trail OF
the attempted revolution.
President Aenocafs term of office ex-
pires May 20, and until a special cleo
ton ordered for the Oriente is held, his
party, the Conservatives, cannot claim
his reelection. Alfredo Zayas, who was
his opponent on the Liberal ticket, has
been classed as a traitor because of his
supposed leadership in the insurreetion,
and it is not believed the president will
make him eligible for election by fail.
ing to prosecute him.
With the elimination of the LIBERAL
candidate Menoca may be forced to have
new general election called, since to
take office after doubtful election
would create a situation that might pre-
cipitate a more determined rebellion than
the one which the prospect of American
intervention appears to have suppressed.
The United States government viii
continue its policy of supporting the con-
stituted government. Representatives
of the insurgents have failed to see any
officials of the state department and it
is understood that any effort they make
to communicate with the government
will be discouraged.

A Farmers Advice to His Sons.

In the current issue of Farm and Fire
side, we read the following statement by
farmer:
I'VE have seven sons and three daugh-
ters who would all rather farm than any
thing else. There is no more cheap land
like we or our parents got. We have
advised those who are old enough: Go
sell your labor where you can get the
most for it for few years. Put your
habits of economy and willingness to
work, learned on the farm, in practice,
and as soon as you have little ahead
make a payment on medium priced
piece of land. Keep on until you are over
the worst, then we viii outfit you with
the necessary equipment and you can
work your way through
"The two oldest boys are doing that
way now. They found that they could
get the most money for the least labor
among the rich in the large cities where
a dependable man is yet wanted and the
rich people do not care what he costs"

BROKE ICE RECORD.
Recently Sold Wendell S. Went the Quar-
ter in 80 Flat.

| The last of Montpelier's ice races for
the season were held at the Winooski
race track yesterday afternoon and
proved to be the most successful of the
winter to the horsemen. Not only were
all the races closely contested, but a for
mer Barre horse, Wendell S., at one time
owned by VIII S. Page of South Main
street, but now the property of Louis
Lord of West Berlin, established new
record for the track by lowering the
mark from 3024 seconds to 80 seconds,
the animal being driven at this fast
time by Fred A. Slsyton of South Main
street. Not only did the horse lower
the record but he covered the distance in
all three heats faster than it had ever
been done before, making them in 80,
3OA and 30la. Slayton also drove Aquil
Ian r., the green colt which he is train
ing for a down country horse fancier,
the colt winning all three of his heats.
The colt has made some very good i'm
provement over his heats in other races
in which he has participated this year.
The purse of S25 which has been offered
for any horse that could lower the race
course record, was given yesterday after
noon directly after the races. The heats
are as follows:
