PRESIDENT APPEALS
TO RUSSIAN PEOPLE
Trying to Convince Slavs of Right
Road to Safety.
PART OF WORLD PROPAGANDA
Official Text of Wilson's War Aims
Message Will BE Given to Work
ing Glasses Of Russia and
Enemy Powers.

Washington, Jan. 10.-President
Wilson Is conducting a ''man-to-man,'
appeal to the Russian people and the
liberals of enemy nations.
Through 'open-air diplomacy he is
trying Ito convince the Russians that
their safety lies in allegiance to the
principles for which America is fight
ing in this war-and Austrian and Bull
garian liberals that danger to them
would follow German victory.
Following President Wilson's direct
appeal to these peoples in his war aims
message yesterday. it was learned to-
day that the official text of the mes
sage will be placed directly before the
working classes of Russia and the en-
envy powers. The committee on pub
lie information not only sent the adj
dress by cable to every capital in the
world, but gave orders for billboard
display in Russia and airplane distribu-
ton on both fronts.
Part of World Propaganda.
The work is a part of a tremendous
world propaganda launched by this
government to convince the people of
Russia that the United States is right
and that Germany Is wrong.
Shown a Petrograd dispatch, stating
that biIlboards and theaters were
spreading the gospel of Americanism,
Chairman George Creel of the COM
mittee on public information admitted
this to be only part of the "educa-
tional work we are now conducting,
not only in Russia, but in enemy coun-
tries and neutral nations"
It Is not being done behind closed
doors or in secret sessions with dipIo-
mats. Practicing the doctrine he is
now preaching, the president is car
rying on his propaganda in the open.
He believes world peace must and will
come through open discussion Of peace
terms starred by him just a year ago,
followed later by Lloyd George and
now participated in by all the peoples
throughout the allied countries.
Big Campaign in Russia.
In Russia the work is being done by
billboard posters giving, in Russian,
Americas views on the international
situation. her aims in the war and her
peace ideals. The theaters in cities
large and small are showing motion
pictures sent over by the Creel COM
mittee and literature of all kinds is be-
Ing distributed by the ton.

White House-Woman's Work
in War Caused Action.

Washington, Jan. TO- President Will

OF the federal woman suffrage amend
ment, a vote on which will be taken In

The president made the announce
ment to a delegation OF representa-
tives beaded by Taylor Of Colorado.
The committee issued the following
statement on leaving the White House:
1.-THE committee found that the presi-
dent had not felt at liberty to volun-
teer his advice to members of cor g-ess
in this important matter; that when
we sought his advice he very frankly
and earnestly advised us to vote the
amendment as an act of right and JUS
tice to the women of the country and
the world
Passage of Amendment Certain.
Passage of the amendment is now
regarded as certainty. 1t is predicted
opposition in the house when the vote
comes will be negligible.
A poll taken before the committee
went to the White House showed 270
for the amendment and 40 opposed.
Most of the opposition then was reg
istered from the South. where appre-
hension Is felt over the prospect of
negro women voting.
1t is expected the presidents support
of suffrage will swing the senate. hith-
erto regarded as extremely doubtful. 1t
was predicted there would be no seri-
Gus difficulty In getting the measure
through the upper house.

who is a Progressive Democrat
The Republicans Of the house, in
caucus, were expected to declare in
favor of suffrage.
The president told the committee
that in his opinion there were no party
obligations resting on the Democrat.
to oppose nationwide suffrage, mas
much as the exigencies of war, which
have made the suffrage question 1
matter of extreme Importance, did moi
exist when the party platform was
drawn.
Women's War Work Wins Vote.
Reversing his attitude that suffrage
was a matter for the states to deter
mine, the president drew a distinction
between prohibition, to which the Con
stitution makes no reference. and the
elective franchise, on which congress
has constitutional authority to legIs
late.
Mr.. Wilson was quoted as having
said the women of the country. by
their uD3elfsh devotion to the coun.
itry's leeds in the war. had won the
right to favorable consideration.
He called attention to the promise
of Great Britain to grant English
women the franchise and referred to
THE reform as one attracting the at
ltention of all forward looking ma
itions.
A rule win be adopted today provid-
ing a day of debate like that which
preceded the prohibition vote. The
roll call will be taken between five
and six o'clock.
