The regulations published today, were signed by General James w. McAndrew, chief of staff, "by com mand of General Pershing" In drafting them an effort was made to avoid the inclusion of any rules which would merely humilate the population, or which savored of re- taliation or revenge. They are in tended simply to maintain good or der.
 Under the terms of the regulations the authorities will know exactly the whereabouts of every individual, for each must carry an Identification card and give notice of changes of habita- tion. Householders must keep posted on their doors a list of the residents of their buildings, with their age, na- tionality and occupation. All weapon and ammunition must be surrendered. The gathering of crowds Is forbid den and no meetings except courts schools, councils and religious ser vices will be allowed without per rlission.
 The people are informed that a military court will punish those who attack or impede American soldiers or officers, those who destroy or in- jure property belonging to or used by the army, or "who commit any act whatever injurious to the American army"
 The custom Of soldiers trading or selling chocolate or soap to the Ger mans Is forbidden by the rules.
 The text of the proclamation fol lows
 Every person above the age uf 1; must carry at all times an identifica- tion card bearing his signature and address. Such card will, when issued be stamped by the appropriate civi official. Notification of change of ad dress must be immediately made tc the appropriate civil official and en dorsed by him on the identification card. The head of each house holt must keep posted on the outer door o the building a list showing the name nationality, sex, age and occupation of every person of the household.

which demands a concert of power to preserve the worlds peace. Whereas it had been the thought of closeted students and academic men he now found the practical minds of the world determined to get it.
 T am particularly happy that the ground has been cleared and the foun- dations laid,'' continued the President, because we already have accepted the same body principles. Those prin-' ciples are clearly and definitely enough stated to make their applica-t ton a, matter which should afford nor fundamental difficulty.
 "The peoples of the world" the President declared, want peace and want it now, not merely by the con quest of arms but by agreement of mind. Such an achievement, the President considered, would be the finest enterprise of humanity.
 There had been just hint that the Presidents address would be the key to the conference he has been holding with British statesmen, and the ad- dress as 1t was delivered today was interpreted in American quarters as confirming the previous intimations that these conferences had been very satisfactory from the Presidents view point
 At the outset of his address Presi- dent Wilson declared he did not fancy. that the welcome of Paris and Lon don to him was purely personal, but rather that the voices of the people were expressing not only emotions of qualification that the fighting had ceased, but also their conception that the peace to be made must guarantee that the war could not be repeated.
 Tt now rests upon others to see that those lives were not lost in vain," the President added.
 The President concluded his address amid great demonstration.

''No Such Union of Purpose Ever Seen in the World Before"- Must be Single Over whelming, Powerful Group of Nations Which Shall Be Trustees of the Peace of the World"

London Dec. 28-Speakng today in the historic Guild Hall at ceremonous gathering Great Brtans most dis
 nguished staesmen President Wilson reaffirmed his prn cple that there must longer be balance of power which might unsee the peace of the world but that the future must produce concert of power which would preserve it.

After President Wilson's arrival all were grouped on the Dais, the lord mayor in the center and President Wilson on his right, next to the Duke of Connaught. The Royal Artillery band in the gallery played American airs, ushering President Wilson in with "The Star spangled Banner"
 During his speech the President declared he had fought to do away with the old order and establish a new one. The old order, he said, had for it's center the unstable things" called the balance of power, deter mined by competitive interests, 'jeal- ous watchfulness," and "an antagon- ism of interests"
 '"The men who have fought the war;" said the president, have been men from free nations who were de- termined that this sort of thing should end now and forever"
 The suggestion for concert of power to replace the balance of power, he remarked, now was coming from every quarter and from every sort of mind The concert to come, the President declared, must not be balance of power or one powerful group of nations set off aEainst another, but "a single, overwhelm- ing, powerful group of nations which shall be the trustees of the peace of the world"
 . The minds of the leaders of the British government he found, the President said, were moving along in the same lines as his own, and their thought has been that the key to peace Is the guarantee of it and not the items of it. The items oS 1t, he added, would be worthless unless a concert of power stood to back them,
 No Ssuch potent union of purpose ever has been seen in the world be- fore, the President said, as that

GERMANS DRIVEN BACK.
French and British Caught Enemy
Unawares and Won Positions Of
Considerable Value.

The British troops in Flanders and
the French forces further South an
ticipated Friday the proposed German
drive toward the English channel
ports or Paris and struck first. The
allied troops caught the enemy una
wares at salient points and driving
swiftly forward took terrain which
would have been of considerable value
as the starting points of enemy at
tacks. In addition a comparatively
large number of prisoners and ma
chine guns were left in the hands of
the allied troops.
The attack of the British was de
livered about midway between Haze
brouck and Bethune on a front of
nearly three and half miles over
territory which the Germans recently
have been deluging with shells. Al
together the attack was productive
of an average gain Of ground to (
depth of nearly mile and included
the taking of several small hamlets
1t is not improbable that the Germans
in a proposed offensive in this regio1
had set their hearts on the capture O
st. Omer and the railway line running
thence to Calais and Dunkirk.

Great Address on the War-This
Country Will Complete the Job But
All Must Do Their Part.

In one Of the greatest war address
es heard here, Dr.. Geo. W. Mcdaniel,
pastor of the First Baptist church
of Richmond. Va, Friday evening told
Of what he saw in Germany six years
ago when he visited that country,
pictured the beastly crimes commit
ted by great nation against small
nations, and told what it would take to
defeat Germany,
The meeting Friday evening was
called in the interest Of the War Saw
ings drive which was on throughout
the country last week. Mr. A. E.
White presided and MIR. L. R. Var
ser, at the head of the War Savings
organization in Robson, introduced
the speaker. He introduced Dr. Nc
Daniel as patriot and declared that
no greater name than patriot could
be applied during these times.
DR.. Mcdaniel did not mince words
in telling what a tremendous task is
before this country, but declared that
1t has been preserved for the high
mission of being the saviour of the
world and that it will win the war by
the united effort Of all the people.
Further report of the address must be
held over for Thursdays Robesonian.
