duty commanded to give to the world
and to the country the. honest convic-
tions of the senate upon proposals that
affect the integrity of the nation, the
peace of the world and the happiness of
mankind, il is now"
Senator stone, chairman OF the foreign
relations committee, opened discussion in
opposition to the resolution, arguing that
it would take more than two weeks of
the senates time if every senator took
the proposed hour to discuss the subject.
He argued that the resolution be re-
ferred to the foreign relations, committee.
SEES WASTE OF TIME.
81 am against this resolution" he
said, 1T has been introduced by the sem
ator from Iowa without due elaboration
and with great haste. What is to be ac-
complished by this resolution If adopt
ed? The resolution declares it is i'm
possible for the senate to take official
action at this time on these grave mat
tiers. But the senator has written into
ten resolution that it was the obvious
objec to invite free and frank Expression
from the members of the senate for the
guidance of the president.
IF three or four or half a dozen
speeches should be made criticising and
disappearing the address in whole or in
part and another half dozen speeches
be made endorsing and approving Il,
how would the president of the United
States be enlightened" asked Senator
Stone.
There is no desire on the part of the
presidents friends to prevent the full
est expression on the subject. Let the
country discuss it: let the world discuss
it But for the senate to set aside such
an amount of time as this resolution
proposes, when no official action can be
taken, seems to me to be melancholy
waste of time"
Before a vote could be ordered SEN
ator Shafroth. Democrat, urged a public
hearing by the foreign relations COM
mittee and debate in the senate in the
usual special session to confirm appoint
ments after March 1.
Senator Cummins sought to obtain
unanimous consent for the resolution to
go over TO come up automatically to-
morrow, bat Chairman Stone. of the
foreign relations committee, objected.
Senator Cummins pointed out that with
the resolution on the calendar. it is POS
sIble for him to move to take it up to-
morrow or any other day after the SEN
ate routine morning business is con-
Guided.
Senator Stone wanted to refer the
resolution to the foreign relations COM
mittee, the presiding officer finally or
dered il to the calendar. In this stu
alton. il will require an affirmative vote
Of the senate TO get the resolution up
again.

WILSON'S SPEECH
MAKES GREAT HIT
WITH RUSSIANS
Reference to "PeaCe Without
Victory" and "FreedOm Of
! Seas" Only Points of ADJ
dress Criticised

PETROGRAD, Jan. 3.-(Via Lon
don, Jan. 4)-President Wilson's speech
to the senate was received with the
warmest approval and sympathy in Gov
ernmental circles. The same cordial
spirit was shown by the press and pub
lie leaders with few dissenting voices
only two points in the presidents
speech found serious criticism-his ref
erence to peace without victory" and
freedom of the seas"
Colonel Shunsky, the widely quoted
Russian military critic, protests vigor-
ously against the idea of limited arma-
ments He declares that all previous
efforts to secure this 'utopian dream"
ended in complete hasco and that the
only method of preventing future wars
as a strategically strong frontier and
an armed force.
The Bourse Gazette after calling at
tention to the unprecedented character
of President Wilson's appeal and paying
the usual tribute to the presidents
idealism and high principles thinks the
chief significance of his declaration IS
its manifest purpose of further devel-
oping his influence toward peace. The
paper speculates upon the fresh steps
contemplated by the president and con-
cludes that it is possible that a note
will-follow, addressed to all belligerent
and neutral governments with a view to
a world conference. This, however, says
the Gazette, will not call forth a re-
Spouse from the allies.
1T is interesting to note" concludes
the Gazette, that among the accepta-
BILE conditions set forth is one which
has been definitely rejected by Germany
Speaking of Poland the president un-
doubtedly has in view it's restoration ac-
cording to photographic boundaries and
in referring to access to the seas has
in mind the naturalization of the Darda-
nelles and the Bosphorus and an open
way to the sea for the Toheks and Ser
hans"

press.
The afternoon papers refrain from
any comment even the headlineTs being
noncmomital and the stock market
which usually is the most responsive
barometer of popular sentiment, seem
ed to be unaffected. Nevertheless the
speech occupies a large part of the re-
stricted columns of the press and is re-

this that the present emir of Katsena
is sprung.
Katsena has been under British pro-
lection only since the year 1903, when
Sir Frederick Lugard visited the state
on his way from Sokoto, and the emir
and chiefs accepted British suzerainty
without fighting. In the following year,
however, the emir was unfaithful to
his oath of allegiance, and he was de-
posed, and his successor, the present
emir, was installed in his stead. Since
that time the history of katsena has
been peaceful and progressive, under
the enterprising and loyal rule of its
emir, and its future augurs exceeding
well. 1t may be mentioned that only
recently the emir was married TO the
daughter of the emir of Kan0 who has
also made welcome gift to the i'm
