Secret Treaty Gaze Aid
OF Allied NaUies to Italy

PETROGRAD, Nov. 2S.-The text OF
a secret agreement among france
Great Britain, Russia and ltaly mas
been published here by the Bolshevlk
government. The agreement gives ltaiy
sanction to annex certain territory IN
return for entering the Entente All
arce. and embraces the inadmlssiDllity
of the intervention Of Pope Benedict
with a view to stopping the war.
The document was signed in Lon
don April 26, 1915, By Viscount Grey,
former Foreign Secretary; Paul Cam
bon. French Ambassador to Great Bri-
tain, and Count Benckendorff, the Rus
sian Ambassador to Great Britain. IL
contains q memorandum from the ltal-
ian Ambassador at London to the For
eign Office and the Allied ambassadors.
italy was to have the assistance or
the French and British naval forces
until the Austrian naval force was de-
stroyed. After peace, Italy was to
receive the Trentino, the Southern
Tvrol to the Bremen Pass, Trieste and
Istria and Dalmatia, with additional
geographical boundaries outlined in
great detail.
Italy was TO govern the foreign re-
lationships of Albania in the event that
that country became an autonomous
government, but Italy was not to OPP
pose objection if it were decided TO
apportion parts Of Albania to Monte
negro, Serbia and Greece.
The agreement supported ltaly's con-
tention in the principle of the balance
of naval ROVER in the Mediterra-
mean Sea, subject to future definition.
Italy was to have rights in Libya en-
joyed by the Sultan on the basis Of
the Lausanne treaty. Italy agreed to
the proposed independent Mussulman
sacred places in Arabia.
In the event of France and Great
Britain increasing their holdings in
Africa at the expense of Germany, Italy
was TO have the right to increase her
holdings. Great Britain was TO facili-
tate the cause of Italy in borrowing
f5O,0OO,OOO in the British market.
France. Great Britain and Russia
were to support Italy in preventing the
Papal influence from ending the war
and in regulating questions concerning
the war. Italy's cooperation was to
begin one month after the ratification
Of the agreement.
A dispatch from London, November
20, quoting a belated Petrograd advice,
said that Italy also was TO have GER
tain islands in the Grecian archipelago
and territory in Asia Minor, as condi-
tons to her entrance into the war.
PARIS, Dec. Attempting to take
a leaf out Of the book of their Ger
man allies, the Bulgarians have tried
determination with the Russian troops
forming part of Sarrail's army in the
Balkans, but have been met with bull
lets instead of the usual loaves of
bread.
The story of this incident is told in
to-night's official communication.

determination by the Bulgarians were
repulsed By rife fire."

AllieS War Aims Grossly
TWisted, Declares Clynes

- LONDON. Dec. John Robert
s,iynes, Parliamentary secretary 20 the
1000 ministry. in speaking at Oldham
,n-night, referred 70 the Marquis OF
Lansdowne's peace letter, and said IT
vas clear that the war aims OF the
Entente Allies were being grossly mis-
"presented in (he enemy countries.
a, secretary Clynes said that he should
nke the Parliamentary Labor party
seriously 70 consider the important
Es,ements in Lansdowne's letter. A
collective statement Of the Allies war
Nos now would, in the secretary's
Judgment. help 20 strengthen the PEG.
Pc at home. and probably would tend
weaken their foes in the foreign
eountries.

Roosevelt Assails
Peace Proposals of
LordLansdowne
Declares Plan Would Put
Premium on Repetition of
German Brutality
By Theodore Roosevelt
(Copyrlgh. BY Tbs KansAs City STAR

KANSAS CITY, Mo-. Dec. lord
Lansdowne's proposal is for a peace OF
defeat for the Allies and Of victory for
Germany. Such a peace would leave
oppressed peoples under the yoke OF
Austria. Turkey and Bulgaria; such
peace would leave tho liberty-lovtng
nations Of mankind at the ultimate
mercy Of the triumphant n,ilitarism
and capitalism Of the German sut0c-
rscy.
Il merely makes such a peace worse
to try to hide the shame Of the defeat
behind the empty pretence Of forg-
ing league Of nations, including Ger
many, TO secure future peace. Such
peace would mean that Germany saw
her unspeakable brutality and treach-
cry crowned by essential triumph;
therefore would put premium upon
her repeating the brutality and treach-
Is Mere Hypocrisy
1t is mere hypocrisy to promise to
put a stop to wrongdoing in the fut-
ure unless We are willing to undergo
the labor and peril necessary to stop
wrongdoing in the present. In our own
country nothing but harm was done by
the worthy persons who couple OF
years ago formed a league to enforce
peace in the future, while at the same
time they nervously declared that they
would have nothing to do with enforc-
ing peace by stopping international
wrong in the present. Lord Lans-
downe's proposal to hide the admis-
sion of present defeat behind the cam
outage Of pretended international
peace agreements for the future is un-
worthy of his distinguished services
and reputation.
Our people ought never to forget
that Germany respects nothing but
strength and the readiness and ability
TO use it. Germany has made fetch
of able brutality. She regards with
utter derision the pacifsts and pro-
Germans in this country. She will use
them as her tools and pay them when
necessary, but if through this aid she
was able to conquer this country after
previously separating us from our al
lies, she would with utter indifference
break these tools and throw them on
the scrap heap with the rest Of the
American people.

Leaders Expect Coming
Address to Warn of Long
Struggle
Many Vital Problems
Will Be Discussed
Document Will Be Most I'm.
portant One Delivered
by American
[Staf Correspondence

WASHINGTON, Dec. Predictions
are that President Wilson's forthcom-
ing address to Congress, which the ma
ton is eagerly awaiting, will be the
longest he has ever delivered before
that body, as the subjects he will dis
cuss are the most momentous that have
ever been treated by an American
President. Domestic affairs. ofcourse,
are almost sure to occupy second posi-
tion in it TO the international situa-
ton.
The Presidents early appearance be-
fore Congress presents an exceptional
opportunity for q renewed declaration
of Americas war aims and those OF her
associates in the war, and such re-
statement now, it was thought to-day,
would largely meet the Russian de-
mand for @ restatement.
No Early Peace In Sight
President Wilson is expected to warn
the country and Congress that there
is no early peace in sight and to urge
that the nation brace itself for long,
hard struggle, one requiring all the
energy and resources, material and hu-
man, Of the country to assure uiti-
mate victory.
The White House has permitted no
intimation to be dropped indicating any
measure that President Wilson will rec
ommend to the attention Of Congress.
In Congressional circles it is believed
however. that the address will be more
informative in character than anything
else. In it, some leaders think, the
President will prepare the way TOT a
legislative programme which he VIII
announce at a later time.
Recent Developments To Be Dealt With
There is little doubt that recent de-
yelopments, including the Italian dis
asters, the Russian collapse, the Paris
conference. the Lansdowne letter and
the speech of Chancellor Won Hertllng
before the German Reichstag, together
with the sportation to France Of
formidable American military and naval
forces since Congress adjourned, will
De LTedItQ Wy -
considered not unlikely that he will
present a clearer definition than has
yet been available of the duties OF the
inter-Allied war council which will
meet semi-monthly at Versailles.
Most interest in connection with the
address centres in two subjects, the re-
lations of the United States with Aus
tria-Hungary and Germany's other al
lies, and the possibility that the Presi-
dent may take occasion to restate the
war aims of the enemies of Germany.
The Administration views with re-
spect to the future relations Of this
country with Austria Hungary have
been closely guarded, bat it is realized
that Italy has brought great pressure
to bear here with view of winning the
alliance Of America In her war with
that nation.
