London, Jan. 25.-" President VIII

This is our aim, and our only aim"
This was the phrase from Chancellor
of the Exchequer Bonar Laws speech

American suggestions. Editorial e0m-

taken with Bonar Law IS reminder to
the United States that America has a
share of responsibility in the past and

'FThis whole subject is not an abb

that result can be secured by his meth

HOPE FOR PEACE
IS ABANDONED
FOR THE PRESENT
Opinion Is General That Great
Offensive VIII Again Be
Launched
WHEN OUTCOME Is KNOWN
| PEACE MAY BE DISCUSSED
BOnar Law Says Wilson's
Aim and Great Blitain's
the Same
By Robert J. Bender.

Omitted Press staff correspondent,)
Washington, Jan. 25.-Offieial senti-
ment in Washington is that great
spring offensive will prove to be the
turningf point in international peace
maneuvers.
The president, and his very close adj
visers who are sitting in with him ON
all his peace plans still remain as secre-
tive as everS but among other high Of.
ficials who know the minds OF thess
former few, the opinion is a near cer-
tainty that the president himself be-
lieves one more great effort win hs
made by one or both sides before tbs
first actual step toward real peaes
goal is taken.
And, regardless of responses-diEect
or otherwise belligerent goverE-
ments on President Wilson s remarkable
address to the senate Monday, many
diplomats here agree in the belief that
the goal of peace will not be in sight
until after a gigantic effort they feel is
coming in the spring.
They say news from the front shows
preliminary plans for such drive now
are in full swing.
Within six weeks all details for this
campaign will be completed. Belief IL
firm here that the entente nations Will
| insist upon awaiting the outcome be-
fore peace is possible.
Summing up the moves of the last
month, however, 1t is believed President
Wilson has laid real groundwork for
peace--after the drive.
He has outlined what this. country
stands for what arrangements he be-
ieves should be made for making a
peace lasting, what he believes this
country will do toward joining in some
form of international sanction" to
preserve future peace-after both sides
have exerted their greatest effort of
the war this spring
His advisers believe he has created
situation which win make it difficult
for either side to insist upon continu-
ing the war after the results ofs the
spring campaign are definitely deter
mined

A great feature of the war on the

DISCUSSION ON
DIVIDED REPORT
Sterilization Bill Is Reported
Adversely by Majority
Committee
BUT MINORITY REPORT
Is FINALLY ADOPTED
House Member Objects To
Memorials As Expensive
Nonsense

Tue stream of business flowed smooth
ly and without ripple this morning un-
til fhe senate committee reported back
senate bill No. 73, relating to the steril-
i2ation of the feeble minded and moral
perverts. There were two reports the
committee splitting as near " "fifty-fif-
ty" as it could, the majority report be-
ing signed by four of the committee
recommending the bill do not pass. The
minority report recommending the pass
age of the bill was signed by three
members. A motion for the substitution
of the minority report for that of the
majority was like opening the exhaust
on a natural gas well for the oratory
took q perfervid character at times.
Vinton grew eloquent and said the ac-
tion of those who wanted to force this
bill on the people after it had been
voted on at the last election and beaten
by a three or four to one vote, reminded
hun of the "publican who went out on
the highway and thanked God he was
5iot as other men,

minded he could convert them.

had defeated the measure, said they die
not want it, and they should not have
q law forced on them which they had
distinctly said they did not want.
1T had beeu said by others that the
people did not understand what they
were voting on but this was no excuse
1t might as well be said they did MOI
understand what they were voting OF
wien they voted Oregon dry.

had "got all het up" as there was moth
ing to justify it. All that was wanted
