PROGRAMME OF WAR
 AND PEACE Is MADE
 PUBLIC BY PRESIDENT
German Challenge in NegOtia-
 tiOns With Russia Answered
 America Ready When Ger mnay Will Talk of Just Peace.

Washington, Jan. 8-America's pro- gramme of war and peace, with defi- mite trms upon which the nations, great and small, fighting together against German world domination are ready to lay down their arms, was given to the world by President Will son today through an address to Con- gress in joint session.
 For this programme, based upon the fighting of wrongs and the safety of peace-loving peoples desiring to live their own lives, the president committed the United States to fight and continue to fight until it is achieved. Thus he pledged this coun- try to the allied policy of no separate peace. "We cannot be separated in interest or divided in purpose" he said "We stand together to the end"
 The speech, heard by Congress at an hours notice and accepted with a wave of approval that brought to- gether virtually every element of both houses, was delivered as a direct re- sponse to the German challenge in the negotiations with the Russians at Brest-Litovsk. It followed closely and approved the address of the Brit ish premier, but was far more specific in statement of terms, robbing of force in advance any German peace drive designed to confuse the entente and American governments and their people, while at the same time pre- senting the foundation for genuine negotiations whenever the central pow CTS are ready to talk of just peace.
 Fourteen concrete proposals laid down by the president began with the declaration that the days of private international understandings are gone and that covenants of peace must be reached in the open, Briefly summar- ized, the other points are:
 Absolute freedom of the seas in peace or war except as they may be closed by international action; re- moval of economic barriers among nations associating themselves to maintain peace; guarantees of the re- duction of armaments to the lowest point consistent with domestic safety; impartial adjustment of colonial claims, based upon the principle that the peoples concerned have equal rights with the governments; evacu- ation of all Russian territory and op- portunity for Russia's political de- velopment; evacuation of Belgium; evacuation of French territory and of the Alsace-Lorraine wrong; readjustment of Italy's from tiers along recognizable lines of na- tionality; free opportunity for auto development of the peoples of Hungary; evacuation of Rou- mania, Servia and Montenegro and guarantees for all the Balkan states; sovereignty for Turkeys portion of the Ottoman empire and autonomy for other nationalities; an independent with access to the sea, and general association of nations for mu- tual guarantees of independence and territorial integrity to large and small states alike.

a statement of their troubles by An
drew Stanton, their leader, who as
sailed the Hearst agents as bulldozers
and the managers Of "The New York

The resolution, adopted at the meet
ing at which Vice President ID. Dnnahy
presided, reads:

prove their living conditions, have
asked the publishers Of the daily
papers of the city to allow them Il 1T
tie more profit on their papers, so that
like other workmen they could meet
the present high prices; and,
"Whcreas, The said newsboys con-
tend that their fair request was turned
down because of the influence Of the
publisher of The New York American
and The Evening Journal which
papers, the newsboys claim, they are
being forced to carry against their will
and despite the fact that great num-
Der Of people will not buy them for
patriotic reasons; and,
"Whereas, The said newsboys have
struck against these swo papers to

GOV. INSURANCE CERTIFI-
GATES NOT ESSENTIAL

Persons named as benefciaries
under war-risk insurance are pro-
tected by the insurance whether
their certificates have reached their
hands or not. The certificate is
merely evidence that the policy ex-
lists; the policy contract is effective
without the certificate. This is the
substance of o Treasury Department
statement, occasioned by the fact
that the mailing of certificates has
proved too large an undertaking for
the available clerical force. More
than 100000 certificates have been
mailed already and others are be-
ing dispatched with all possible rap
idity.
The Treasury Department author
ICES the statement that up to the
close of business on August goth,
more than $4,000, 100000 of Gov
ernment insurance has been written
to protect Americas fighting forces
and their families. The applications
for August will total about $4,000 :
900, 900.
More than nine-tenths of the Am
erican soldiers have taken insurance
and most of the men recently join
ing the colors have taken the maxi
mum permitted amount-$10, 900
This means that the falilies of our
soldiers are protected by absolutely
safe insurance at a remarkably low
rate. The policy is simplicity 1t.

non, formerly the North German
Lloyd liner Kronprinzessin Cecillie
was torpedoed by an enemy subma-
rine yesterday 500 miles from the

The report to the Navy Depart

No military units were on board
but the big liner probably was car

of probably six or seven hundred

that the vessel was able to return to
