The President Calls for an
Elaboration of the Peace

(By Associated Press)

Washington, Feb. 1t-President
Wilson replied today to the peace
feelers" thrown out by Count Ger
min, the Austrian foreign minister,
and Won Hertling, the German chan
cellor.
The speech was extolled by many
congressman as a shrewd move on
the part of America to dissolve the
union between Germany and Aus
tria.
Senator johnson thought it "the last
of Americas war aim speeches"
The president said: Count Czernin
finds in my statement a sufficiently
encouraging approach to the views of
his government to justify him in be-
lieving it furnishes basis for more
detailed discussion of the purposes of
the two governments he represented.
have intimated that the views he is
expressing were communicated to
me beforehand and that | was aware
of them at the time he was uttering
them. But in this am sure he was
misunderstood | received no init
nation that he intended to say Won
Hertling.'
The president said further: "His
reply confirms, | am sorry to say,
rather than removes, the unfortunate
impression by what we learned of
the conference at Brest-Litovsk. His
discussion and acceptance of our gen.
eral principles lead him to no prac-
tical conclusion. He refuses to ap-
ply them to substantiative items
which must constitute any settle
ment. He is jealous of international
action and counsel.
"He says he accepts the principles
of diplomacy, but appears to insist
that they be confined in this case to
generalities and that several particu-
lar questions of territory and SOW
ereignty upon which a peace settle
ment must depend and an acceptance
of peace by twenty-three states en-
gagged in war must be discussed and
settled, not in a general council, but
severally by the millions most imme-
diately concerned by interest Of neigh
borhood.
"Count Czernin agrees the seas
should be free, but looks askance at
any limitation of that freedom by in
ternatonal action in the interest of
common order"
The president declared the method
Won Hertling proposed sis the method
of the Congress of Vienna, to which
we cannot and will not return. What
is at stake now is peace throughout
| the world. What we are striving for
| is new industrial order based upon
board and universal principles of
right and justice, no mere peace of
shreds and patches"

JOHN VOGEL. GETS
Ne " TRAIL ON
MURDER CHARGE
COURT RULES THAT
POINT RAISED BY ATTORNEY
O. V. WILSON THAT DEATH
BED ACCUSATION WAS ONLY
OPINION, WAS WELL TAKEN.

Attorney 0. V. Wilson today re-
ceived notice that the Appellate court
had, on Saturday, granted a new trial
to John Vogel, accused of the murder
of Joe Ming on a ranch near FL Cen
tro four months ago. Ming had de-
clated before Vogel and a number
Of officers that Eogel had fired the
fatal shot.
Attorney Wilson contended at the
trial that when Ming, mortaliy wound
ed, had pointed an accusing finger at
Vogel and declared "There is the man
who shot me; there is the man who
killed me-" he merely expressed an
opinion as to the guilt of Vogel, as
it was too dark to identify the man
who shot him. Therefore, he thought
the declaration should be thrown out
The State, however, will base its
second prosecution of Vogel, who is in
San Quentin, on the ground that he
repeated more positive accusation
to "Chief" Cummings Of the sheriff's
force.

Amsterdam, Feb. 11.-A |onStanti-

Abdul Hamid was for thirty three

of Europe, Asia and Africa, and at
the same time was commander of the
faithful army of Moslems. He was
paid homage by nearly a hundred
million subjects. Shorn of his pow
er, he died a prisoner. pitied, if not
despised.
He lived in constant dread of death.
He had often escaped it only by good
luck or unusual precautions against
plots. Yet in his later years he had
sought death by his own hands, so
melancholy had his existence become.
He gained ascendancy under cir
cumstances nearly as tragic as those
which ended his career. Born Septem-
ber %, l848. the second son of Sui
tan Abdul Medjid, he became SOW
ereign when his elder brother, Murad
", was deposed because of mental in
capacity in 1876 1t was time when
Turkey was in a state of extreme de-
preston, almost succumbing to the
tremendous blows of Russia. Out of
this slough the new Sultan saved the
remnants of Turkish prestige. Many
critics gave him credit for success
full regime. Others denounced him
as infamous. Whatever the true es-
innate, it is fact that the Turkish
empire increased its power. Schools
were reformed, the army built up,
commerce extended and Pan-Islamism
created under Abdul Hamid
