 ARRIVED SAF FEY
At Early Hour This Morn ing New London Reported That U-BOat was Enter
 ing Outer Harbor

New London, January 23.-Early this morning it was reported that a submarine was entering the outer harbor of New London.
 This news was not unexpected, as it has been known for some days that the Deutschland, which has made two voyages to this country from Bremen, and one of these to this port, was on her way, and would arrive within a few hours.
 The announcement was made Sat urday by the collector of port of this district that he had been notified by the officials of the Eastern Forward ing company that the U-boat was ex- pected within AS hours. It was also stated to the collector that the sub marine Bremen, reported lost, was never sent from German port to this country. The rumor of the safety of the Bremen has been current for some days.
 New London. Conn. January 2S'-A strange vessel, reported in marine circles to be- German submarine, anchored in the outer harbor several miles from shore soon after o'clock this morning Efforts to obtain veri- fication from officials of the Eastern Forwarding company were unavailing. It is known, however, that launch from the North German Lloyd liner Willehad has been cruising at the en- trance of the harbor during the night.

TEXT OF PRESIDENTS
 SPEECH TO SENATE

Washington January 22.-The conn to the Senate on the peace note was as follows
 "Gentlemen of the Senate: On the 18th of December, last. addressed an identic note to the governments of the nations at war, requesting them to state more definitely than they had vet been stated by either group of belligerents. the terms upon which they deem 1t. possible to make peace. | spoke in behalf of humanity, and of the rights of all neutral nations like our own, many of whose most vital interests the war puts in constant jeopardy. The centfal powers united in reply which stated merely that they were ready to meet their antago- nists in conference to discuss terms of peace.
 REPLY OF ALLIES
 "The entente powers have replied much more definitely and have stated - general terms, indeed but with suf- }icAent definiteness to imply details, the arrangements, guarantees and acts oa reparation which they would deem to be the Indispensable conditions of a satisfactory settlement.

EDITORIAL COMMENT ON WILSON'S MOVE.
 IS VERY VARIED

London, January 23.--The Morn ing Post describes President Will sons speech as "full of noble as- pirati0ns and amiabIe sentiments, and declares the belIigercnts feel the desire for peace at least as much as do neutrals.
 "It Is only when we get down to the question of how peace is to be attained and maintained, says the Post, "that we find ourselves in disagreement.
 The Post proceeds to analyxe at length the President's statements. meeting them with counter state- ments and appealing to incidents of American history. In support of the latter. it sayss
 "According to President Will sons logic il would have been bet ter for Lincoln to have met the southern leaders upon the field. shaken hands and agreed upon peace. When the war between Spain and the United States was still unsettled, would Americans have been satisfied if the European powers had inter vened and said: sYou must make peace without victory, because nny other peace would leave the

 SUMMARY OF ADDRESS
 The chief points in the Presi- dents address were:
 That lasting peace in Europe cannot be peace of victory for either side.
 That peace must be 'f0llowed by definite concert of power to assure the world that no catas- trupe of war shall overwhelm it again.
 s'That in such a concert of power the United States cannot withhold its participation to guar antee peace and justice through out the world.
 And that before a peace is made the United States govern- ment should frankly formulate the conditions upon which it would feel justified in asking the Ameri- can people for their formal and solemn adherence
 ssIt is clear to every man who thinks the President told the Senate that there is in this promise nc break in either our traditions or oul policy as a nation, but fulfillment rather of all that we have professed oi striven for.
 WHAT HE PROPOSES q am proposing. as it were, thai the nations should with one accort adopt the doctrine of President Mon roe as the doctrine of the world; that no nation should seek to extend its policy over any other nation or people but that every people should be Jeff free to determine it's own policy, its own way of development, unhindered unthreatened, unafraid, the little alone with the great and powerful.

Garrison is quoted to show the need of nitrates for the nations defense, and it is stated that the south offers an exceptionally suitable site on the Tennes- see river for the proposed plant; site that will afford ample warerpower With all the necessary associated and contrib uting natural resources and industrial ad- vantages to make it pre-emnently fitted for the purposes contemplated by Con- gress."

man must take that for granted.
 REASON OF SPEECH
 T have sought this opportunity to address you because I thought that I owed it to you as the council asso- eiated with me in the final determi- nation of our international obligations. to disclose to you without reserve the thought and purpose that have bee,. taking form in my mind in regard to the duty of our government in these days to come when it will be neces- sary to lay afresh and upon a new plan. the foundations of peace among the nations.
 Tt is inconceivable that the people of the United States should play no part in that great enterprise. To take part in such service will be the op- portunity for which they have sought to prepare themselves by the very principles and purposes of their polity and the approved practices of their government ever since the days when they set Up new nation in the high and honorable hope that it might in all that it was and did. show mankind the way to liberty. They cannot 1T, honor withhold the service to which they are now about to be challenged. They do not wish to withhold it. But they owe it to themselves and to the conditions under which they feel free to render 1t.
 That service is nothing less than
