WILSON FAVORS
REGULAR ARMY
President Declares Against
Proposed Plan for Com
pulsOry Service.

Asa, NrToN, Jan. 25.--President Will
son came out fatty to-day against uni
versal military service or immediate
change from the present system for pre-
paredness He said the National Guard
system now in vogue Is the best the Ad-
ministratiou and Congress have been
able to provide and he protested against
criticism of It.
The Presidents views, the utterance Of
which came after Il long period of silence
on preparedness matters. were expressed
with considerable vehemence by the
President to n delegation from Maryland
for national defence. The delegation
headed by Maryland Senators and Rep
resentatives and some prominent men in
the State presented a memorial criticis-
ing the system of taking men from their
business and homes us was done by the
National Guard mobilization on the
Mexican border.
The memorial contained a detailed
criticism of the sending of the guard to
the Mexican border and said 1t was
the defence of the country" The spec
tacle now presented on the Mexican bor-
der was referred to and 1t was de-
clared that there we have men do'ne
police duty who ought never to be called
upon for military service away from
their homes except as last resort"
TT IL scandalous waste OF public
money" was another statement In the
memorial. Such a system Is a disgrace
to n civilized people,

HUNGARY BACKS
WILSON'S PLEA
Premier Tisza Says Dual Mon.
archy Is in Complete Accord
With Peace Ideals.

dam correspondent sends a Budapest
despatch giving the reply of Count
Tisza. the Hungarian Premier. to a
question put by a member Of the oppo-
sition party in Parliament concerning
President Wilson's address to the Sem
ate.
Pursuant to our peaceful policy be-
fore the war and our attitude during
the war; as well as our recent peace ac-
tion," Count Tisza is quoted as having
said, we can only greet with sympathy
every effort aiming at the restoration of
peace. We are therefore inclined to
continue a further exchange OF views
regarding peace with the United States
Government This exchange must natu-
rally occur in agreement with our allies.
I'm view Of the fact that President
Wilson in his address makes certain
distinctions between our reply and our
enemies reply ] must especially state
that the quadruple alliance declares 1t
is inclined TO enter into peace negotia-
tions. but that at the same timo II will
propose terms which. in its opinion. are
acceptable to their enemy and calcu-
lated to serve as basis for lasting
peace.
"On the other hand the conditions OF
peace contained in our enemies reply to
the United States are equivalent at least
| to the dislntegration of our monarchy
! and Of sthe Ottoman Empire. This

utmost strength as long as this is the

ANY brief service in the army OF the
United states withdraws men from civil
pursuits just AS much as the recent ser
vice on the border does. No service ex-
cept standing army with professional
soldiers prevents that occasional and fire.
quent withdrawal OF men from civil pur-
suits. That may be inevitable, but what
you are proposing does not meet the din
Guilty which you condemn. These things
are OF the utmost intricacy and difficulty
and are not to be settled eX cathedra
"And yet withstandinE the fact tina,
| think you have gone too far, will say
to YOU that OF course this will have my
most serious consideration. II is re-
ceiving serious consideration with the
country and we in Washington of course
share and feel the great tides Of opinion
in the United States, ] am sure that
speaking. II may speak, for the mem
bers OF the House of Representatives and
the Senate. we are all desrous of doing
the wise thing for the defence Of the

we must not close debate by having toI

Subsequently the Presidents statement
was considerably censored and given out
In modified language for publication. II
is as follows:
''Gentlemen: I do not need to prove
10 YOU or anybody my deep interest in
this subject. | will frankly say to you
I would have been more impressed by
this memorial II 1t had been expressed in
more restrained language. From some
OF the unqualified statements in this
paper l must frankly dissent. I think It
due TO my colleagues on the Hill 1.-THE
Capitol to say 10 at this offhand con-
demnation of the system which they
adopted after long debate upon the
urgency OF many of the leading citizens
Of the country II is the least that l can
do. You do not commend a cause which
deserves the most serious consideration
by presenting 1t as you have presented 1t.
"These things impress me the more
after what we have heard from the
medical societies UnquestOnably. phys
cal training is needed and will accom-
plish n great deal, but II can be had with
out compulsory military service, and COM
puisory military service does not meet
the difficulties to which you have al
luded.

SHACKLETON DESCRIBES
VOYAGE IN ANTARCTIC
Famous Explorer Tells Of Thrilling
Struggles in Frozen Seas.

A life and death battle for months
IN the frozen antarctic was vividly
described in words and pictures at
Memorial Continental Hall, yesterday
afternoon and last night, when Sir
Ernest Shackleton, the distinguished
British explorer, thrilled 5000 mem
bers Of the National Geographic So
ciety.
While the entire lecture held the
audiences spellbound, particular in
tefest centered in the story OF the
soO-mile voyage through the winter
sea in q 22-foot boat in search OF aid
for the twenty-five men marooned
on Elephant Island.
The explorer, q quiet, modest, un-
assuming mai, gave a graphic de-
scription of the hsir-breadth escapes
he and his party had during the ex-
pedition OF 1914-1T. His lecture was
literally punctuAted with dry but
grim humor.
The crushing Of the great ship
Endurance in the ice, with its last
fragment sinking in 200 fathoms OF
water hundreds OF miles from land.
the voyage OF the party on an island
of ice, and the frequent struggles OF
members OF the party TO escape death
in marrow chilling water, were all
told with compelling realism.

CRITTCISE MISSION
American Labor Is Not Represent.
ed, Says Maxim GOrky.

NEW YORK, May 1s.-Dissatisfac-
tion in Russia over the personnel OF
the American mission was indicated
in a cablegram to the Jewish Daily
Forward yesterday from its Petro-
grad correspondent.
He quotes an article from Maxim
Gorky's newspaper. the New Life.
saying Charles Edward Russell and
James Duncan do not represent Amer
lean labor.
The dispatch adds: THE Socialist
newspaper, Novaya vhiEn. edited by
the famous novelist Gorky. expresses
astonishment at the absence OF Of
ficial representatives Of labor on the
commission that Is coming to Rus.
sia from the United States. It seems
that Russell, who Is taken to be a
Socialist, and Duncan, who is con-
nected with a trade union, both mem
bers OF the commission, are not con
sidered by the Russian Socialists as
representatives of American labor
because they were not delegated by
any OF their organizations.
The Jewish soldiers fighting on
the RoumanIan front had a meeting,
In which they voiced regret at hav =
ing to fight for q country in which
the Jews are unjustly prosecuted.
Roumania, as is well known, now il
the only country In Europe In which
the Jews do not enjoy equal civic and
political rights. Students and school
