ALLIES cHEERED BY MESSAGE.
Associates In War Against Germany
Now SolidIy in Line.

Washlngton.-The traditions of d.
plomacy continue to prevent any for
NAL statement from any Of the foreign
chancellories in Washington upon the
presidents address. From sources
close to the various ambassadors and
ministers, however, has been obtained
comments which show. that no incident
of the war has SO solidified the allies
as has the presidents address. These
comments are as follows:
British-Of course the president has
said the right thing. We knew he
would.
French-Today marks great day in
the history. of the world. The presi-
dent has not only assured justice to
France, but justice to all the world.
ItaIian-The claims of Italy are rec
ognized at last Recognized as claims
based on justice and not on self-inter-
est.
Russian-The fire of the presidents
words will kindle a new life in Russia.
Within a few days the change will ap.
pear.
Serbian-Access to the sea for Ser
bia, which the president for the first
time demands, will solve the Balkan
problem. 1t will remove the great
cause Of irritation between Serbia, Aus
tria and Turkey.
Relgium-There will never be anoth-
/ er Rape of Belgium" or any other
small country if the presidents de-
mands are met-and they will be met.

STRIFE BETWEEN MFLlTARlsTS
AND NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
German Empire in Throes 0Of eraVest
Crisis of its History, imperial
Throne Being Stake of Politl-
cal Battle Now Raging.

Amsterdam.-It has been learned
here that political chaos engulfs Ber-
lin. A gap apparently yawns between
the militarists and the anti+annexa-
.tionists, so wide and so deep that 1t
seems unbridgeable. There was the
strongest indications that the kaiser
faces the unacceptable choice between
two courses:
First-T0 authorize a complete back
down by the central powers on the
Russian demand to evacuate all occu-
pied territories, and thus renOunce
every vestIge of yelled annexation
claims. That would mean, 1t is re-
ported, the immediate designations Of
Hindenburg and Ludendorff, resulting
in incalculable depression among the
TeutoR armies and possible pan-Ger-
man uprising.
Second-To take up the challenge
of the Socialists and liberals for a
finish fight on the annexation issue by
standing pat on the Brest-Litoysll
peace terms. That would mean Il
breakup of the reichstag majority bloc,
the reunion of the whole Socialist
party and a possible rising OF the
masses TO force peace.
A Crown at Stake.
There are those who smiled skepti-
cally at the suggestion that the impe-
rial throne is one of the stakes, per
hape the principal stake, in the polit-
ical battle now raging in the empires
capital.
But their skepticism was belied by
dispatches upon dispatches from Ber-
lin telling of an unflinching determine
ton upon the part of the Socialists,
reinforced by large sections of the lib
erals, to fight this battle through to
a finish. Vague as they were, after
careful doctoring by the German CEN
sors, these advices showed convincing
ly that the empire is in the throes of
the gravest crisis In It's history.
Thus Germany's peace offensive,
which was to have pierced the "home
fronts" Of her adversaries, has re-
bounded after strengthening them. The
recoil, sped by Lloyd George, has
cracked wide open the empires own
internal lines.
Now comes the cable from America
with the full text of President Will
sons war aims speech. The effect this
momentOus utterance, with its direct
challenge to the reichstag's majority to
assert itself, will have upon the stu
alton in Berlin and Brest-LitOvsk, is
beyond estimate.

FREE ALL PEOPLES
ALLIED PEACE CODE
BRITISH PREMIER POINTS OUT
WAY GERMANY MAY END
WORLD WAR.
Let Captive Nations Vote as to Rule,
With international Police to Crush
Out War, Teutons TO Pay
for Damage Done.

London.-David Lloyd George, the
British prime minister, on January 3
set forth Great Britain's war aims
more specifically and at greater
length before the delegates OF the
trades unions than he had ever done
before. Having first declared that it
was not a war of aggression against
Germany or the German people, and
that the breaking up of the German
people or the disintegration of their
state was not one of the objects for
which the allies were fighting, ne pro-
ceeded to mention the fundamental is
sues for which Britain and her allies
were contending.
First among these was the restora-
ton of Belgium and reparation for
the injuries inflicted. Next came the
restoration of Serbia, Montenegro and
the occupied parts of France, Italy
and Rumania. France must have AL
sace-Lorraine and to this end, the pre-
mier said, the British nation would
stand by the French democracy to the
death. a@
Independent Poland Necessary.
The question of Russia was touched
upon, and Mr.. Lloyd George said that
Britain, as well as America, France
and Italy, would have been proud to
fight by the side of the new Russian
democracy. But now Russia could only
be saved by her own people. He de-
clared an independent Poland an ur-
gent necessity for the stability of
western Europe.
Rumania is to be protected, and the
British and other allies are with Italy
in her desire for complete union of the
people of the Italian race and tongue.
Of Austria Hungary, he felt that
while the breaking up of the dual king
dom was 10 part of the allied war
aims, it was impossible to hope for the
removal of causes of unrest in that
part of Europe unless genuine self
government was granted the Austro-
Hungarian nationalities.
Straits Must BE Neutral.
The Turkish empire, within the
homelands of the Turkish race, with
Constantinople as it's capital, may be
maintained. But the passage between
the Mediterranean and Black sea must
be internationalized and neutraliZed
and in the British view, Arabia, Arme
MIA, Mesopotamia, Syria and Palestine
are entitled to recognition Of their sep
arate national conditions.
The matter of the German colonies
all of which are now in the hands Of
the allies, will be placed before con
ference, whose decision, however, mus
consider the wishes and interests OF
the inhabitants-the future admin
lstration must be acceptable to thu
various tribes.
The premier made brief reference t.
the violations of international lave b!
Germany, with special emphasis on thu
sea, and the peace conference, he de
clared, must not lose sight of the out
RACES suffered by British and othe
seamen and the services they had rem
dered.

HAUBER THEATRE.

There are enough complications,
 counter-plots and romantic situations in this production to warrant it's fa-
 vorable reception by all who dote upon
 swiftly-moving screen melodrama.
 Probably the strongest scene is that in which Eunice makes the supreme sacrifice for her lover by falsely inn
 pugning her own chastity. June FL vidge, as the heroine, scores the best
 emotional hit of the play on that par ticular occasion, although there is never 8 moment when she fails to
 shine as an actress of exceptional emo- Itional ability.
 Nothing adds to the interest of a scenario like the sudden "punch" of an unexpected climax and this is we'll ad-
 ministered in the present instance,
 when the revelation is made at the fin-
 ish, that Martha is the slayer of the
 profigate Carter. Suspicion is clever
 lv led away from the culprit from the
 time of the shooting, until the crucial
 instant arrives, and the picture bene- fits accordingly. John Bowers is effect
 i've as the hero, and Joe Herbert and
 Hubert Wilke give powerful perform ances in their respective roles of Far row and Carter. The photoplay includes a number of handsome interiors, including a we'll filmed view of a New York cabaret. with an attractive beauty chodus, and is at all times we'll up to the high camera standard of the World.
