WILSON'S SPEECH
MAKES AMERICAN
WAR AIMS CLEAR
DIFFICULT TO HAVE FRAMED.
MORE MOVING OR SYMPATHETIC
APPEAL TO BEST INSTINCTS,
SAYS LONDON PAPER.

LONDON, Jan. 10.-It would have
been difficult to have framed a more
moving or sympathetic appeal to the
best instincts whether among Russian
revolutionaries or the non-militarists
of the Central Powers, but there an
swer will depend largely on how the
appeal reaches them, says the Daily
Chronicle, indiscussing President Will
sons address before congress. The pa
per points out how Lloyd Georges
speech was censored in Germany and
Russia, and then adds, ut would be a
tragedy if President Wilson's intense
and transparently sincere sympathy
should encounter like treatment in
Berlin and Petrograd."
The London Daily News says the
Allies have now stated their war aims
SO plainly that neither the enemy nor
any friendly neutral can mistake
them.
