Carlisle Pa, Dec. 20.-Vice Presi- dont Marshal in an address here to- don't Marshall in an address here to- rommerce. gave his views ,on some onestions now under discussion in ,onnection with the peace confer ,uce prefacing his remarks with the p,planation that he had no thought of .ndeayoring to affect President Will sons negotiations.
 On the question of world league If understanding to prevent war. which, he said, all h'Jht Thinking men agree is descriable Marshal de- ,lapsd that until all men are of good will wars will not cease unless na- lions desire peace at any price. He sad the allies and the United States could go very far toward promoting ,eace, but predicted that unless reel urocal trade agreements are made be- tween these associated nations, ex- istng cordial relations cannot last.
 Urging extension of the American merchant marine, he voiced opposi- ton to government ownership, but declared it preferable to a ship sub- sdary.
 It is farthest from my thought up- Ion this occasion to utter a single word which might in any manner be construed as endeavoring to affect te negotiations of the President in Europe said the vice president in |qening his address. "1oo many nfbaked opinions coming from my self and others in public life may tause mental and moral indigestion. speak. therefore. only in general trms and go only to the length that il may agree.

It has been the dream of all ages. Thus tar this dream of universal peace has each succeeding time turned in- to a night mare.

If, however, the masses of mankind in these four great nations and in the lesser nations, for whom pntly the fight has been made, have seen a new light and are convinced the uselessness and folly of war ana Ii more and more education and slghtment as the days go by and ae generations come and go, shall Ma to the number of those who thus amk, then the experiment will sue Aed
