Same Mistake, Says Parisicn.

Paris, Jan 23-President Wilson's address to the senate is printed in full in the most prominent place by all the morning papers and comment as whole is sympathetic but skep- tical. The Petit Parisien says:
 Tt seems that President Wilson, as in his previous note, has mistakenly placed the states attacked and the aggressors on the same footing, when the distinction was an easy one which he was in conscience bound to make. subscribe to the ,formulae which the president set for this basis of future peace. None of his conceptions can offend us. They are ours. They were ours long before 1917. We certainly will not oppose them It gives us only pleasure to see these plans for liberty and justice eloquently upheld by MT. Wilson. But what will Ger many and Austria say?"
 Gustave Herve. writes in the Vic- toire:
 What a pity it is this masterly page of social philosophy is marred and almost disf1gured by those three little words: "Peacc without vic tory.'
 The Humanite says:
 President Wilson has set forth that a great pacifist program which reveals to the world the lofty in spiration that dictated the note of Dec. 1S."

Just as he left the elevator on the fourth floor and before he could enter the work room he was attacked from behind and struck on the head.
 The next thing he knew he was re- covering consciousness on the floor with a workman's towel knotted in his mouth and tied behind his head. By the time he was able to give an alarm his assailants had disappeared.

 Senator Stone then withdrew his motion and the question will come up tomorrow probably and will precipi- tate general debate of all the issues involved

ENTENTE PRESS IS
 DIVIDED ON SPEECH
''Splendid Policy, Nobly Ex
 pressed" Says the Guardian
STANDARD INDIGN AN I
Questions Right Of President Wilson to Shape Destinics of Europe French Editors Arc Sympathetic But Skeptical,


 London, Jan. 23.-The Manchester Guardian commenting on President "a splendid policy, nobly expressed" The Guardian says:
 The speech was addressed to the senate but informally concerns our selves and our adversaries in the war. The president has no intention of taking any part in the actual negotiA- tlons. of terms of peace; that he leaves wholly to the belligerents. He simply comes forward now to state in unmis- takable terms, both for his own peo- pie and for the other people. of the world, every one of whom Is directly concerned which kind of peace it is, he will consent to call upon his coun- trymen to approve and sustain
 After quoting the chief points in the speech, in regard to the conditions on which peace must be based, the Guar dian continues:
 Tt is splendid policy, tnobly eX- pressed. How will it be received ?sBy the peoples everywhere we cannot doubt joyfully; by men of good will and enlightenment everywhere not less joyfully and with clear percep tion that this is no vision of Utopia but a we'll thought out and justly framed scheme of man in a great position and versed in great affairs
 Asking how the be1ligerents will re- gard it, the paper thinks it's principles and phrases will be hardly palatable to autocrat1c rulers or easily recon oiled to their traditions and methods of government.
 But yet, if the people hear them gladly, perhaps the government also may find it wise to find in them a path of safety. As for ourselves they are our terms. or if they are not they ought to be and the mass of the na- ton will do well to see that their rul- CTS render to them every possible fla vor and support"
 Referring to the presidents "nobly concluding words" the Guardian says:
 "These are words which will find an echo if, many hearts and words are sometimes deeds"
 The Standard refers to President Wilson's speech as astounding and speaking of German claims of victory and the emperor's letter to the king of Wuerttemberg, continues:
 Questions Presidents Right.
 "In other words, mediation is pre- mature and if persisted in it is to be interpreted only as a desire to help the party which already claims to have won. Moreover, it is not clear by what title, legal or moral, President Wilson assumes that he had some right to shape the destinies Of the European continent. He did not protest against the infringement of The Hague conventions. He has neV- CT expressed the smallest sympathy with the sufferings of France, Bel gium, Serbia or Poland. We have heard his voice raised on behalf. of suffering humanity only since Ger many seemed visibly on the decline. It is really very hard to see what To- GUS stand the United States can claim in this natter
