WASHINGTON. January aa-Boldly
and frankly Prcsiden, Wilson to-day
laid before the Senate OF the United
states the fundamentals of "a European
peace which this country considers
essential.
Clearly and forccfuily he declared
the right OF the United States 30 have
a voice in determining the peace con-
dit!ons which shall be made lasting
by the DEGREES OF an eternal covenant"
through an international league to en-
force peace.
He laid down fatty the conditions
which both sides in the European
struggle must agree to. if the United
states is to become "A party TO the
world agreement TO prevent future
wars. And he asserted that the United
states cannot in honor withhold the
service of adding their power To the
authority and force OF other nations
TO guarantee peace and justice through
out the world through league for
peace.
II was AN cpOchmGkinS occasion.
Not since tho foundation OF the re-
public has President of the United
States. in public statement, declared
the right OF this nation to be heard
in the terms which will settle war
in which the country has no active
part. Not since the days of Washing
ton has a President OF the United

Of this government before the Senate

announced he would make his address.

Gen. KOrniloff then outlined the
most important of the measures, in
addition to the restoration of the
death penalty, which are:
First, restoration of discipline in
the army by Strengthening the au-
thority of officers and non-commis-
stoned officers; second, improvement
Of financial position of officers who
have been in very difficult posi-
ton in the recent military opera
tions; third, restrictions of the func-
tions of the regimental committee
which altho managing economic af-
fairs of the regiment, must not be
permitted to have any part in the de-
cisions regarding military opera
tions or appointments of leaders.
1.-The strength of every army de-
pends son conditions in the districts
in It's rear"
+, Gen. Korniloff continued: "The
blood which will inevitably flow dur
ing the restoration may be shed in
vain If the army, having been recog-
nized and prepared for battle, re-
mains without reinforcements and
fresh supplies of projectiles and
equipment. therefore think it in
dispensable that the measures taken
at the front should also be applied
in the rear
The new commander went on to
say, that according to information
at his disposal the conditions of the
railways was such that by Novem-
Der the army would not receive any
more supplies. ~

DEPENDENTS OF ALL
T. ENLISTED MEN TAKEN.
CARE OF IN CANADA.

Dean F.. b. Taylor, who has just
returned from short vacation trip
to Canada, explained this morning
the thoro methods employed by
that country in caring for the de-
pendents of her fighting men. Mr.
Taylor said:
Canada stands behind the soldi-
er and his family substantially.
The Dominion pays the private
s1.1O a day and his wife separa-
ton allowance" $4,000 month.
In addition to this the Province Of
Manitoba levies two mill. tax, Pa
triotic Fund.-" which is distributed
by boards of volunteer administra-
tors and women visitors according
to the needs of the dependents up
to a total OF $65.OO month per
family. At first this patriotic fund
was raised by voluntary contribu-
tions. The provincial publicity
agent" who explained the system
to me, stated that contributions were
generous, but very ineQuitable. Out
Of modest salary" he was giving
ten dollars month while men with
larger incomes gave but five, some
only twenty-five a year. This was
very unsatisfactory and the proposi-
ton to equalize It by substiting tax
carried by strong majority and Is
entirely satisfactory to all. Red
Cross funds are still raised BY sub
scription and are large. One sees
the ladies knitting everywhere. and
benefits" are numerous.
Canadian war feeling is no sur
face matter. buttit goes deep. Peo-
ple seldom speak to the visitor on
the subject until he mentions It, and
then in q subdued and serious way,
when they refer to sacrifice. But
the subject of conscripti0n fires them
up. They are burning with righteous
indignation against the Stacker and
are looking with trembling anxiety
for the day when he will be forced
to do his duty. And that. according
to latest announcements, fs today.
But dates have been set before and
1t is . part OF . very complex total
situation including 9 new cabinet
