BERLIN (vin Sayville wlreless).

qualification In commenting on Presl-

recognizes tho re-esta blishment OF

policy Ia directly contradictory TO the
Russian policy"
Tho Entente did not mention

son mentioned as the only important
instance this very Poland. From tho
United States this is n stimulus TO
continue tho work for establishment
OF Polish state, which already gains
ground In tho mind OF neutral gov
ernments'
THE Presidents message" says the
Preglad Peranny. will Increase the
hope for peace In nations and will
increase the hatred against those who
resist peace. This is done by the
Entente Powers who pushed back

Powers"

address to the Senate.
Part Of the President message, re-
garding the possibility of seeking
guarantees for future peace, is sup
ported In It's fundamental ideas by
tho Entente. which In It's note set
forth tho same aspirations for a sta
bic settlement in Europe.
Naturally the particular way in
which Mr.. Wilson proposes TO safe
guard peace In the future requires
discussion. such a discussion is pre-
matuso at this time for us since, as
the President himself admits, an in
dispcnsable preliminary to q future
understanding Is that the present war
must first bo ended. For us---actors,
not spoctators-this preliminary Is of
the greatest interest. Therefore It Is
essential TO see whether our war aims,
which Involve such sacrifices for us,
are In conflict with those essential
conditions Indicated by President VIII
son as necessary TO safeguard peace

KA|SER'SPREACHER
MAKES WAR PLEA
FROM HIS PULPIT
"Only One Voice--That Of
Cannon" He Says On the
Emperor's Birthday.

BERLIN. Jan. 20 (via wireless TO
the United Press).-whcro one year
ago DR.. Dryander. the quiet, white
haired court preacher. pleaded for an
hour for peace In the services mark
ing the Kaiser's birthday. this year
his sermon was a fiery defense OF
Germany's cause and a militant plea
for Germany to steel herself for tho
decisive battle every one believes Is
coming.
In this changed spirit he rejected
the sentiment OF the German people.
His sermon Of Saturday has evoked
the deepest approval everywhere.
"We know" he said. speaking at
the special Cathedral services COM
mcmorating tho birthday OF Ger
many's ruler. that before us Is the
decisive battle which can DO fought
through only with the greatest sacri-
fices. But In all cases OF the past
God has helped us, and God will fight
for us to-day, through our leaders
and our soldiers. We neither willed
nor wanted this war-neither the
Kaiser nor the people. We hoped for
peace as the Kaiser extended his
peace proposal. but with unheard- of
frivolity and insults our enemies
slapped the back OF the Kaiser's ex-
tended hand of peace.
ITO such enemies there is only one
voice-that OF cannons. We continue
the war with a clear conscience and
with trust In God that he will bring
us victory. God cannot-hc will not
permit the German people to go
down."
DIT. Dryander's sermon was de-
livered before an audience OF the
highest mobiles. OF royalty. and of Of
ficialdom that has been gathered In n
year-sinco his previous sermon on
the Kaiser's birthday. The service
and the sermon were by far the most
impressive and awe-lnspiring relig-
ious services here In two years. Even
DIR. Dryander himself was keyed TO q
belligerent attitude as he clinched his
phrases by forcefui gestures on the
pulplt
Near the front sat American Am
bassador Gerard, In full evening
clothes, while nearby were the other
ambassadors In their full court uni
forms. Close at hand were the minis
ters Of state-lncluding Grand Ad-
miral Won Tirpitx. Many other ad-
mirals and high ofYicials sat In the

As the Lords Prayer was read-as
usual--there was emphasis laid on
the plea, 'Nive us our daily bread"
As DIR. Dryander pronounced the
benediction he prayed that his pray
er's wings would take the peoples

Outside the Cathedral tho streets
