not regard the so-called secret documents as
altogether of doubtful authenticity"
The matter of war aims and just how
lar the President speaks for the Allies is
a matter of great interest to 1.-The Spring
field Republican" A statement at this
time, thinks 1.-THE Republican"
possesses a value possibly which would not
have been conceded hitherto, according to
any appraisal of the political necessities
which the Allies had encountered. Assuming
that the President has spoken with full
knowledge of the exchange of views at the
recent inter-Allied war council in Paris, he
has taken a bold initiative and has under
taken a commanding leadership IN stating
the objects for which the Allies are nghtng,
II will be disconcerting surprise II the
Entente Powers still active in the war do
not tactly at least, accept the main princi-
ples in the presidents address If the
President delivered his address to Congress
without coming to a previous understanding
with our Allies in Eur, Je, he performed the
boldest act of his career, since he virtually
made claim 10 the leadership Of the combl-
nation against Germany. II there had been an
understanding reached, it is clear that Mr.
wilson's world leadership in the struggle
against Germany's apotheosis of autocratic
insolence and brutality is already conceded.
In either case, the address bids fair TO DC
memorable in the worlds history"
A Washington view is this given In
dispatch to "The New York Sun:
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-12-09

Labor members in the House of Com
mons, the dispatch continues, declare that
the Presidents words Justify those who
for three years have been urging the Brit
ish government to put into clear language
its own war aims, and they believe that
the address comprises an admission to the
world that the cause of the Russian fail
ure can be found in the fact that Britain
and the Allies refused to meet Russia IN
a conference for the purpose of discussing
and restating war aims"
Another passage runs:
"The President has accomplished one thing
already-he has put Imperialism on the de-
fensive. not alone German Imperialism, but
Italian, French and British. He has put his
stamp Of diapproval on the boasts about
Selling the west bank Of the Rhine, the dis
memberment of Austria, the occupation OF
Trieste and lot Of other material issues
In the United States there is less of
such opinion. The New York German
Herold" says:
Certain parts of the message give one the
impression as if they had been written in
reference to the Bolsheviki reyelations-that
is az if they contained hint for America s
allies that the United States will be opposed
to all lust Of conquest. We do not wish, now
ever. 10 emphasize this Interpretation, as It
il still to be questioned whether the Presi-
dent alluded TO this and whether he does

DRESS comment so far registered
shows an unusually successful re-
ception for President Wilson's mes
sage to Congress. General approval has
been expressed and wide variety of inter
pretations has been placed upon the speech.
L goes without saying that his move for
declaration Of war upon Austria and his
reairmation Of this country's main pur-
pose in the war-to help crush the Ger
nan menace-meet with universal APP
plause. But il is chiefly in the variety OF
'omments on other portions Of the speech
hat interest centres as the true meaning
Of the message gradually is revealed.
For one thing, there is by no means
perfect agreement on many points within
tie message. This fact is strikingly illus
eated by English comment, wherein both
parties TO the dispute that followed the
publication Of the Lansdowne letter ind
comfort in the announcement. Every
one finds something good in the message
according TO a dispatch to The New York
Tribune. "The British 'bitter-enders' IN
Ierpret the address as No peace with the
hohenlollerns.' The British pacifists con-
Ader Wilson as sympathetic friend.
Perhaps none of his public utterances has
been subjected to such varied interpreta'
tons
Somewhat less difference Of opinion un-
'erlies the warm approval which the mes
Sge received in the United States. 1T is
"th great war message and great peace
Sessage," says "The New York World. -
II brushes aside the sophistries OF paci-
Am and Imperialism alike" says Tine
Philadelphia Public Ledger" On the
~Asr hand, the greatest Of its "obJec-
we" according to "The New York Even
ag Post, sis that of stating the aims OF
9e war and thus showing how peace can
made. This is not done explicitly IN
Say single passage of his message. 1t IS,
,s1aer, subtly interviewer throughout II.
'unaps no better appreciation of the dual
4ssure of the message-as peace proffer
go sword Of war-can be given than
1sse extracts.
oeyond these matters, however, the IN
.apretations placed upon the message be-
~ 70 differ radically. For example, there
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-12-09

is, on the one hand, large school which
points out striking parallel between the
Presidents terms of peace and those pro-
posed by Lansdowne. In England, ac-
cording to a dispatch to "The New York
Times" Lord Lansdowne said: 81 have
read the Presidents speech with warm
admiration. am in agreement with the
policy which he has so eloquently de-
scribed, and notice with much pleasure
that this speech contains passages which
completely support the views l have en-
deavored to express"
At the same time "The London Even
ing Star" said: eve see no contradiction
between President Wilson and Lord Lans-
downe. They support and confirm each
other. They both want peace by victory
over the Kaiser and his war lords. They
both rule out inconclusive peace, peace
by compromise, by surrender OF our
ideals, but they do not rule out nego-
tiated peace after victory"
In the United States a similar parallel
is noted by many papers, chief among
them "The New York Evening Sun,
which says
"Here. then, we have from the President
Of the United States declaration OF war
purposes and of peace intentions which al
! fords the first important response TO LORD
Lansdowne's tentative. To those who have
been mistaken or confused in the interpre-
tation of Lansdowne's proposal we commend
a careful comparison Of the two documents.
Match the two documents, not merely
/ in spirit and broad intention but even In de-
tail. thought by thought idea by ldea' dec-
laration by declaration; and then say
whether history supplies more nearly per
feet and more striking parallel!
On the other hand, the President
sneech is seen both in England and Amer
lea as a rebuke to the pacifsts and SUD-
sanitation of the critics of Lord Lans-
downe. According TO "The London Daliy
Mail - "For all the Allies President Will
sons address makes very satisfactory
reading His ringing sentences, not less
than the measures proposed to give effect
20 them. will do something in Europe as
,yell as in America, TO clear the air OF the
fumes of pacifsm. They set things as
Lansdowne's letter did not, in their proper
light and proper order" 1.-The L0ho0n
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-12-09

"Tha Presidents address was accepted on
all sides to-day as a statement of war aims
| and as the only statement which the United
States and the Entente governments may be
| expected to make either now or in the near
| future. While the President is known to
have kept the actual contents of his address
even from his own Cabinet, the belief is
widespread here that the President was In
communication with Col. House on the sub
iect and that representatives of the Allies
in Paris had pretty fair understanding Of
lust how far the President intended TO go
in the statement, which has now been ac-
cepted generally as a reply to Lord Lans-
downe and others who have been pressing fo-
the Qualification of war aims"
Now that the President has so spoken,
think "The New York World and 1.-THE
Evening Post" it is time for the Germans
70 denne their war aims. mo statement
of Germany's aims and objects in this war
has ever been issued"
Certain British commentators, however,
Infer radically with the Presidents views
that there is a possible difference between
the German government and the German
people. There is, perhaps, the strongest
point of criticism in 'The London Times's"
view of the speech:
1--WE shall be glad enough TO discover solid
ground for supposing. it is true or likely to
become true within a measurable time, but
we can discover no such evidence now. and
for the present we must continue TO regard
the German people as willing aecomplices OF
their rulers. They are, indeed, yassals OF
oil 4
vassals. We can no more distinguish between
them than the President can any longer dis
tInguish between Germany and Austria-Hun-
gary"
"The New York Globe" also thinks the
one obstacle in the way to peace is this
very union Of people and government, how
ever reached, which enables the German
imperialists TO hold on.
Other interesting angles Of comment on
the speech are the references to Middle
Europe and the Balkans, the league Of
nations, the yelled threat of reprisals after
the war, unless the German house is set
in order. and such reactions as that OF
Independence Belgo," Belgian paper
published in London, which considers the
message zone Of the rare documents Of
which history will keep an imperishable
memory"

Mr. Wilson Delivers s." Great War Message Great Peace Mess

OF Middle Europe 1.-THE London Pail
Mall Gazette" says: at is a vital gain 10
the cause of lasting peace that America
should have grasped the deadly significance
of the Middle Europe ambition, with its
reservoir of alien cannon fodder for the
purposes of German aggression" On the
other hand, The New York Tribune thinks
the President went further than any Of
Americas "co-belligerents" in commit
ting the United States to wage war until
the present governments Of Germany and
Austria-H Hungary are destroyed and the
system on which their power has been
erected is shattered" As n matter Of fact,
in the opinion Of The Tribune, referring TO
non-interference with the form of govern
ment under which Germany may choose to
live; eve do Interfere in an extreme sense
with the internal affairs of Germany and
Austria Hungary when we declare that we
mean to expel the German and Austro-
Hungarian imperial houses and so subvert
the efficient despotism Of Germany and
the inefficient despotism Of Austria Hun
gary"
The French reactions are interesting, II
correctly quoted, for the comment made on
league to enforce peace. According 10
one dispatch, "Auguste Gervain, the poli.i-
cal editor Of the Journal des Debats,'
after Analysing President Wilson's treat
ment of the League Of Nations, finds that
it exactly agrees with Premier Clemen-
ceau's declaration on the same subject be-
fore the Chamber of Deputies" This dec
laration was to the effect that Germany
should never be allowed to become a menu
Der Of league of nations.
The Paris temps" lays particular
stress on the "intimation that the Allies,
if Germany persists after the war in con-
shutting herself danger TO peace, will
use weapon which President Wilson has
heretofore never been willing to mention,
but which he indicated yesterday in his
reference 10 refusal by the people which
constitute the Society Of Nations to admit
Germany to free economic relations"
In Italy the message apparently was re-
ceived with great applause.

Globe" is reported as saying, 1.-The Presi-
dent has put quite plainly at the begin
ming of his address the object with which
the United States entered the war. We
commend this to our weakened politl-
clans of every kind, whether avowed pacif-
lists or not" In the United States THE
New York Evening World" also refers to
the "untimely pessimism" of Lord Lans-
downe, and "The Washington Post" speaks
of what Lord Lansdowne blunderingly
expressed"
Echoes of the Russian situation and
references to Imperialism in general are
to be noted in English comment Accord
ing to a dispatch to The New York Trib-
une, Charles Trevelyan, pacifist and Lib
eral, said:
"Mr. Wilson's speech is an excellent state
ment of the war aims for which America is
fighting and also expresses exactly the Rus
sian point Of view. II is a singing rebuke
to the jingoes in France and England. The
President is entirely mistaken as regards
the German peoples feeling toward the Ger
man rulers. They are nearly ready to throw
over their jngoes, and if Mr.. Wilson would
only force the Allies to proclaim the same
aims this end could be attained in a very
short time. If our jingoes would adopt the
Presidents ideas the war would be over in
six months"

from autocratic domination, reparation to
Belgium, REIMBURSEMENT of German power
over the peoples of Austria, Turkey and
the free Balkan states, as well as evacua-
ton of Prussian territorial conquests in
Belgium and Northern France.
In addition, the President sounds re-
