 intended to present personally until attacked by a cold several days ago. was delivered by President James, of the University of Illinois. Accounting
 the aggressions of Germany, the presi- | dent saide Eve are-fighting, therefore, as truly l for the liberty and self government of | the: united States as if the war of | our own revolution had to pe fought over again; and every man in every business in the United States must know by this time that, his whole fu- !, ture fortune lies in the balance. "Uur national life and our whole fu- i ture development will pass under the sinister influence of foreign control if we do not win.. therefore and we shall wir. I need not ask you to pledge your lives and fortunes with those of i the rest of the nation to the accom- plishnent of this great end. You will realize, as I think states l men on. both sides of the water realize, that the eliminating crisis of the struggle has come and that the achive-
 ments O. this year. on one side or the otler nust determine the issue"
 The president recalled the farmers
 fired the first shots at Lexington that set aGarne the American revolution for
 liberty and expressed the hope and
 belief that American farmers now will willingly and conspicuously stand
 by to win this war. He said the farTn-
 CTS cid not-want themselves exempted from military service as class, but | that the attention of the war depart

 possible. and he believed that in the next draft farmers would find their 1a-

 Peace Can Be Obtained.

London, Jan. 31.-The Marquis of Lansdowne in an address todav said that he concurred entirely with the re- cent speeches of David Lloyd George, the British prime minister. and Pres ident Wilson on peace aims.
 "I believe all of us are ready to pro- long this war, as terrible as it is, until we can get clean peace. said the leader of the Opposition in th9 house Of lords.
 Lord Lansdowne added that the time for obtaining such a peace should not
 be too long delayed and that no op- portunity should be neglected to bring it nearer.
 Lord Lansdowne was replying to an address presented by Earl Loreburn of his supporters, including authors and journalists.
 "But it is our desire" Lord Lans- downe said, that the time for obtain ing that clean peace should. if possi- ble, not be too long delayed, and that no opportunity should be neglected to bringing it nearer. .s. "Bv a clean peace mean a peace which will be honorable M durable Continuing. Lord LansdA-ne said there was only one way of sseAing this peace. and that was by forming Q combination of great powers under
 which the powers would hold them selves bound to refer fnternationa' disputes to some kind of international tribunal
 Lord Lansdowne asked if 1t would
 not be true to add that if the cohe- sion of Germany could be obtained te such a pact it would mean the' mega tion of Prussfan nilitarism. He sai6 there would be no room for Prussiar
