WILSON TALKS OF PEACE.
President to Discuss Terms 'Of Re-
cent Peace Note.

SSsse CASC XNOtCs
Washington, Jan. 22.-President
Wilson arranged to address the senate
at one o'clock this afternoon on the
question OF the part the United States
would take In the proposed Internal
ional League for the Preservation Of
Peace. Secretary Tumulty announc-
ed that the president would discuss
the outline Of the United States at
titude toward the Peace League ar
rangements. He stated positively
that no pending questions between
the United States and other nations
would be taken up. No president
since Washington has made q similar
appearance. Senator Stone told the
senate that the president proposed to
elaborate on the subjects contained In
the recent peace note. This was done
to quiet the reports regarding the
purpose of the address. Senator'S in
touch with the foreign situation were
given to understand that the presi-
dent felt the time had come when the
senate, which makes all treaties,
should be informed of the status of
the Peace League movement.
Some officials thought Britain's re-
cent acceptance of the idea, express
ed in a supplementary note from For
eign Minister Balfour, advanced the
situation to a point where the presi-
dent decided to address the senate.
They pointed out that Balfour accept
ed the idea in principle for England
and her allies. Germany and her al
lies have also accepted the principle.

TOXIC, July 6.-Endless chaos in

Dispatches today revealed the
makeshift monarchy tottering on its
