President Wilson so In
forms ALI Concerned in
Speech Before Congress
NO PAUSING IN
u. S. MOBILIZATION
No Turning Back Until Mill
tary Autocracy Crushed
by Force of Arms.
BY Associated Press.

Washington, Feb. IL. - president
Wilson. appearing unexpected before
Congress again today, replied to the
recent peace speeches by Count Won
IIertling, the German chancellor: and
Count Czernin, the Austro- Hun ngarian
foreign minister, by reminding the
statesmen of the central empires tha L
peace can be discussed only on the
basis of permanently and essential
justice and broadly warning the people
of the central empires that the par
ticipation of the United States in the
war for the emancipation of humanity
only has begun.
Plainly the president warned the
German military autocracy that there
was to be no pausing in the :nobliza-
ton of Americas vast military re-
sources now steadily on their way
to the battle fronts, and that if peace
were to be discussed, it would have
to be on a basis of sincerity.
Otherwise the president made il
plain there was to be no turning back
until military autocracy was crushed
by force OF arms.
Count Czernin's speech, the pres
ident openly regarded sympathetic
ally, but he considered the austrian
foreign minister restrained by the err.-
pd1TaSSmenI OF Austria 5 alIldnCeS dlI0
her dependence on Germany.
Chancellor Hertlings speech how
ever, the president characterized as
very vague and very confusing" and
full of equivocal phrases" leading no
where clearly.
The president was interrupted by
applause at every reference Of the
United States standing steadfastly
against a patched up peace. Probably
the greatest applause broke out when
the president declared that the milf4
tarists OF Germany We're the only ele-
ment now preventing a world peace.
When he concluded, after speaking
twenty minutes, the entire audience as
usual rose and cheered.
Approval of President Wilson'S ad-
dress was expressed by many mem
hers OF both houses who thought 1t
opportune and the essence of per
manent peace.
Senator Reed thought IT a "shrewd
move to dissolve Germany and Aus
fria"
I regard the speech as an interpre-
tatton OF the speech of January Sth.''
said Senator Johnson, Republican, of
California IT could not have sub
scribed to all OF the presidents utter
ances OF January Sth. = am delighted
with most of today's speech and its
modification of some Of the state
ments Of the presidents war aims al
dressed without at all criticizing any
othe- message, I am sure today's ex-
presses more closely Americas
thoughts and Americas hopes in this
war and brings us much nearer TO
peace"
1.-The address plainly, while spoken
to the house. was not addressed to 1t;
il was addressed to the Chancellories
Of Germany and Austria and others"
said Republican Leader Mann.

SCENES CONTRAST STRONGLY
WITH THOSE OF FORMER YEARS

Last night contrasted strongly with
the Monday nights of Mardi Gras in
previous years. The decora tions were
more beautiful than ever, the electric
lights twinkled as OF yore out the
crowds were smaller and as quiet and
orderly as on any other night. The
carnival spirit was less manifest than
in othed years. There was no con-
fetti, no frolicing. no boisterousness
and little or no intoxication.
The gathering on Palafox street was
small because there was no night pa
rads and the street shows were far re
moved from the business center.
The attendance at the ball held ir
the San Carlos auditorium and the
dances at w. o. w. hall and Teyser
auditorium was large, b,it the throngs
Of last year were missing
At the carnival shows there was
good crowd. though smaller than usual
