Russian Peoples Call.

There is, moreover. q voice calling for these definitions of principle and of purpose which is. il seems to me, more thrilling and more compellins than any of the many moving voices with which the troubled air ot the world is filled IL is the voice of tha Russian people They are prostrate and all but helpless, it would seem, before the grim power of Germany, which has hitherto known no relent- ing and no pity. Their power. appar- entity is shattered. and vet their soul is not subservient They will not yield in principle or in action. The conception of what Is right. of what is humane and honorable for them :o accept. has been stated with q frank ness. a largeness of view. a generosity of spirit and a universal human sym pathy which must challenge the aN. miration of every friend of mankind. and they have refused to compound :heir ideals or desert others that they themselves may be safe. They call 10 LIS to say what il is We desire. in what if in anything our purpose and our spirit differ from theirs, and be live that the people of the United States would wish me to respond with utter simplicity and frankness Wheth- ar their present leaders believe il or not, il is our heartfelt desire and hope that same way may be opened whereby We may be privileged to as sist the people of Russia to attain their utmost hope of liberty and ord. cred peace.
 It will be our wish and purpose that the processes of peace. when they are begun, shall be absolutely open and that they shall involve and permit henceforth no secret understandings of any kind The day Of conquest and aggrandizement is gone by: so Is also the day of secret covenants entered into in the interest of particular gov ernment and likely at some unlocked for moment to upset the peace ot the world
 It is this happy fact, now clear to the view of every public man whose thoughts do not still finger in an age that is dead and gone, which make fl possible for every nation whose pur- poses are consistent with justice and the peace of the world to avow now or at any other time the objects it has in view.
 We entered this war because viola tions of right had occurred which touched us to the quick and made the life of our own people impossible un less they were corrected and tho world secured once for all against this recurrence.
 What we demand in this war, there | fore, is nothing peculiar to ourselves It is that the world be made fit anc safe to live in; and particularly that | be made safe for every peace loving nation which. like our own. wishes tt live it's own life. determine its owr 1 institutions. be assured of justice ant l fair dealing by the other people O the world as against force and selfsi aggression.

President,s Ad dress.


 The president spoke as follows:
 Gentlemen of the Congress: Once more as repeatedly before the spokes- men Of the Central empires have indi- cated their desire to discuss the oO- Jeets of the war and the possible bas- is of a general peace. Parleys have been in progress at Brest-LitoVsk be tween Russian representatives and representatives Of the Central powers to which the attention of all the bel 1igerents has been invited for the pur- pose of ascertaining whether il may be possible to extend these parIeys into general conference with regard to terms of peace and settlement. The Russian representatives presented not only perfectly deanite statement Of the principles upon which they would be willing to conclude peace. but also an equally definite program of the con crete application Of those principles. The representatives of the Central powers on their part presented au out line of settlement which. if much less definite, seemed susceptible of liberal interpretation until their specific pro gram of political terms was added That program proposed no concessions at all either 10 sovereinety of Russia or to the preferences of the population with whose fortunes it dealt. but meant. in a word. that the Central empires were to keep every foot Of territory their armed forces had oC- cupied-every province. every city. every point of yaniage-as a perm9- nent addition to their territories and their power.
 It is a reasonable conjecture that the general principles of settlement. which they at first suggested originat. ed with the more liberal statesmen of Germany and Austria. the men who have begun to feel the force of their own peoples thought and purpose. while the concrete terms of actual set clement came from the military lead CTS who have no thought but to keep what they have got. The negotiations have been broken off. The Russian representatives were sincere and in earnest. They cannot entertain such proposals of conquest and domina- tion.
 Incident of Significance.
 The whole incident is full of sgnlii- canoe. It is also full of perplexities. With whom are the Russian represen- tatives dealing? For whom are the representative of the Central empires speaking? Are they speaking for the majorities of their respective parlia- meuts or for the minority parties. that military and imperialistic minority which has so far dominated their whole policy and controlled the ar' fairs of Turkey and of the Balkan states which have felt obliged to be- come their associates in this war? The Russian representatives have in sisted, very justly, very wisely and in the true spirit of democracy that tho conference they have been holding with the Teutonic and Turkish states men should be held within open. not closed doors, and all the world has been audience as was desired. To whom have we been listening then? To those who speak the spirit and inten' tion of the resolutions of the Ger man reichstag of the ninth of July last, the spirit of intention of the lilo eral leaders and parties of Germany or to those who resist and defy that spirit and intention of insisting upon conquest and subjugation? Or are we

sHAILOw WELLS PROFITABLE.
Colony Oil Company One Of the First
TO Seize Advantage of Riches
Developed at Small Cost.

That Wyoming is coming into its
own as an oil-producing state is more
in evidence each day. Shallow mex
pensive drilling is fast coming to the
front and in many fields small wells
of very high grade oil are being found.
In the Thornton field the wells av-
erage $50 feet in depth and cost only
about $4,000 apiece. They produce
from % to 10 barrels of oil u day,
which sells from $500 to $3.50 per bar
rel. Most of the wells pay for them
selves in a month and the balance is
profit. This that hundreds of
the small operators will come into the
state and secure a splendid living and
income from n or two wells.
In the Pennsylvania fields wells of
this kind have been drilled for the past
half-century and their owners have be
come wealthy. And the centers where
this drilling has been done are among
the most prosperous in the United
States.
Several companies composed of Den
yer and Casper capitalists have been
organized and financed to drill on II
large scale for this shallow high-grade
oil. The Colony Oil Company has just
let a contract for 10 wells on their
holdings, which are in the proven dis
trict of the Thornton field, and are ex-
pecting a well in by the first of Feb
ruary, and their drtller promises IL
well every ten days. After a few wells
have been drilled to the shallow sands
it is understood they will explore the
lower sands and determine what riches
they contain.-Adv.
