PEACE UP TO LIBERALS, NOT
RULERS, SAYS WILSON

RUEERSJ SAYS WILSON,
Washington, Jan. -23.-Upon iber-
ais of the world, the friends of hui
manity, not kings or financiers, de-
ponds whether peace in Europe is to
be based upon equality and rendered
safe from future aggression.
This was regarded today as the
conviction which prompted Pres.
Wilson to deliver his epoch-making
address before the senate yesterday.
The president anticipates objec-
ton. But he feels, as was the case
with his first note to the warning
powers, that after the message has
a chance to seep into minds of gov
eminent and people that it will ap-
peal more and more strongly.
His frank admission that he speaks
for the silent mass of mankind eV-
erywhere" which has as yet been I'M
able to speak their real hearts"
shows where the president expects
to get his support.
Such phrases as government de-
rive all their just powers from the
consent of the governed" re-echO
previous utterances in which he said
lasting peace was only possible when
powers of making war rested with
the people and not alone in select
groups of men"
Apparently the president became
convinced the war was to end eguita-
bly, when he received replies to his
peace note from both sides declaring
that conquest was not desired in
terms of peace.
Now the president is relying upon
the liberals of the world, upon sort,
of international brotherhood of hui
mainly, to bring the war to a willing
end without the sting of resentment
and the fires of hate remaining.
His declaration that there could
not be a victorious peace" was
drawn from declaration of all bellig-
erents that they DO not wish to crush
their enemies.

greater amount OF the back stopping

the fact that McCarty broke his leg

former Pittsburgh receiver, is the
third string catcher for New York.
II McCarty can stand the strain OF
the game, and it is the impression

will be physically fit for the fray, he
will undoubtedly have first call upon

the terms Of a bill to supplement the

Commerce Committee virtually had
completed today. President Wilson
had suggested that a provision be in
cluded to prevent strikes or lockouts

The new bill would make it a Grim

fine for a railroad employee who has
quit work to trespass on railroad
property with view to preventing by
violence, intimidation or threats the

Another provision Of the bill would
