APPEAL TO RUSSIA.

The presidents sympathetic appeal
to Russia was regarded hopefully in
state department and diplomatic quar-
ters. particularly by the Russian rep
resentatives.
1t was held too early to hazard a
guess as to what Russia will do. The
Russian embassy thought the people
as whole will welcome the express
sions. But there was a suggestion in
some circles that Germany will try to
offset ii by accepting some of the
Wilson proposals and hypocritically
agreeing to negotiate" on others so as
to impress Russia with willingness
for negotiation.
On the whole. however. the feeling
here was that 1t will go far toward
swinging Russia back to the allies.

VOICES OF.
THE PEOPLE.
STI[FD BY.
JUNkER|SM.
German Sentiment Strong
for Peace but Military
Pressure and Censorship
Keep it in Subsection and
World in Doubt.

Washington, Jan. 9.-The first effect
Of President Wilson's speech on war
aims will be to solidify German thought
and resistance, high officials believed
today.
A CANVASS OF OFFICIAL OPIN-
IONS HERE SHOWED GREAT CON-
FIDENCE THAT LIBERALS IN GER
MANY AND AUSTRIA WILL
EVENTUALLY GAIN SUFFICIENT
STRENGTH TO THROW JUNKER-
ISM OVERHEARD.
CENSOR SHUTS THEM OUT.
One high offic:al-a friend of. the
president and a co-worker in framing
this governments war policies--de-
clared German liberals are far more
for peace and against militarism than
Germany's censorship permits the rest
OF the world to know.
This official declared the presidents
speech in q nutshell means:
First-Germany can have peace
any time that she ceases her dream
of world domination and stops
grasping for the things that are
not hers.
Second-That Russia ought to
Keep her mead out OF the hons
jaws and to realize that her own
self interest lies in remaining with
the allies.
WHAT PRESIDENT MEANT.
The state department shed little
light on whether President Wilson had
Intentionally left the door open to ne
gotiations on some points, particularly
with respect to Belgium and Alsace-
Lorraine, or whether the subject must
be defined further before any peace
pact is signed.
The general thought here was that
the president meant that the wrong
could be righted only by return of AL
SAGE Lorraine to France.
