RED LETTER DAY FOR FRANCE, ;.
IS RIBOT'S VIEW OF SPEECH

earth with a powerful, armed Germany
1t will be glory to the United states
of America to have embodied uni
versal sentiment, and. forsaking the
role of spectator. to have entered the
struggle to free the peoples OF the Worio

nation grown monstrous has 1mpose,a,
upon them. President Wilson Will

The message has been read by Presl-

the true character of the world war
The Gaulois says: president wilson
has not failed to meet our expectations
He has proposed to Congress deciara-
ton of war against Germany. Such Is
the essential fact, but there is some
thing more than that in the message
There Is elevation in thought; there Is
vigor in the arguments ana Hooiehess
in the sentiment. There is the severity
of. an implacable judgment and pro
found accent of indignant humanity
which gives to the presidential message
a moral weight of Incompatible power
This Is at once an act and gesture OF
magnifcence."

In the Journal Senator Charles Hum
bert writes:
1T is a moral condemnation of Ger
many. 1t is her Punishment from the
ranks of the nations not only for today
but for a time after the war until she
has completed the eXpiation of he1

her inevitable punishment by the enor-

PARIS, April TIT Is q red letter
day for u.s." was Premier Ribot's COM
ment on President wilson's speech. In
conversation with his friends the
premier expressed the deep Joy felt by
everybody in France over the entry into
the conflict OF the great American
demberacy.
The official text Of the President
speech has not yet reached Paris. so no
official declaration in regard to 1t has
been made by the government A
statement will, however, be made in
the chamber of deputies Thursday If
the american Congress has taken ac-
ton at that time. United States Am

premier Ribot and Jules Cambon, sec
rotary general Of the foreign office.
Enormous Impression Made.
Although to certain extent dis
counted, President Wilson's address to
congress has made an enormous i'm
preston in France. The numerous
vague and sometimes contradictory
forecasts and rumors as to its proba BILE
|
the past few weeks. had- served more
than anything else to sharpen expecta-
tions. Consequently the message itself
came almost with the force of novelty
and the Joy OF the press is unbounded.
The message fulfi1ls the widest hopes
of France. The front pages of the
principal newspaper organs are entire
ly given up to it and portraits and
eulogistic pen pictures of President
wilson are published under such head
ings as "A Great Citizen
President Wilson's message" says
the Matin. 'is a logical sequence of
the attitude he has maintained firmly
for more than two years. 1t will cause
a profound sensation in the world
The Petit Parisien says: America
enters the struggle not in order to sat
isfy territorial appetite, but to defend
the rights of humanity. Her recognized
and positive disinterestedness accentu-
ates and makes clear the character of
war which all the democracies hence
forth associated are making upon i'm
perialism and despotism."
Glory to United States.

ment when the whole world realizes the

OFFICIAL CONSCR|PT
LIST NOT RECEIVED
Board Will Get to Work In
mediately on Its
Arrival.

The local exemption board had
hoped to have the official drawiT~
on hand in time for publication in
The News this week, but up to last
night it had not arrived.
AS soon as the list arrives the 1o-
cal board will set days for calling on
the Putnam county conscripts to re-
port for examination.
The list as published in the extra
edition of the Palatka News last Fri
day afternoon was correct as taken
from the wires, but there were nat
urally some errors. The official list
will correct these. Then the list Of
last Friday as published in this paper
was not long enough. There were
less than 400 names published, and
the local board believes that at least
600 or 700 names will be needed from
which to secure Putnam's quota of
12O men.
The board as individuals is already
receiving letters from parents and
friends begging that this one or that
one may be excused. The board is
paying little attention to these let
tiers. They will be brought before the
board, possibly, but unless the repre-
sensations are made in the legal way,
and the applicant for discharge is en-
titled to such discharge under the
laws as laid down for the governancc
Of the board, they will be without cf-
feet. The local board will "play no
favorites."
