Praises Reply to the Pope.

"A few days since. President Wilson
published by far the strongest. the
clearest, the most far-resounding OF
his state papers. stating in extenso his
views on peace proposals.
He is of right the mouthpiece. the
spokesman, of this mighty people and
his statement has been read BY all
men and will be read forever and for
ever.
IT now and here state our case in
the fewest words possible. No nation
will long endure or deserves to endure
that does not protect all of its citizens
wherever they may be. on land or sea"
The speaker also impressed upon his
audience that freedom is not a natural
and inevitable thing, but something
which must be fought for and ap-
preached with a willingness to sacrifice.

ing on President Wilson's note, says:
Even an unprejudiced perusal must
lead to tho conclusion that President
Wilson's reply is the most partisan
presentation imaginable, that lacks all
justice: is filled with malignity and
prejudice against Germany and shows
that President Wilson has no inkling
of Germany's political institutions or
the character of the German people.
president Wilson appears to know
nothing either OF the isolation policy
or that France is at least as militarist
as Germany. He has not read that in
the Soukhombnoff trial the clearest
proof has been given that the war was
unclaimed by the military casts of

1t sees in the concluding words of
the note the only ray Of hope, and de-
clares:
Even the American people could not

Says Reply Is Unparalleled.
The contents of President Wilson's
reply are as unparalleled as the tone Of
the note. In a most humiliating and
offensive manner terms are dictated to
the German people, the fuldllment of
which would constitute the most hu-
initiating Intervention in the most
primitive rights of the German nation.
II Germany lay PROSTATE, her army de-
stroyed and fleet hors de combat. no
more degrading terms could be pro-
posed by the President of the United
States.
president Wilson simply declares
the resolve to force his will on the
