BASIS FOR PEACE PACT
Wilson's Message to World Held
Forerunner of Negotiations.
Terms As Laid Down Bring Approval
From Both Democrats and
Republicans.

Washington, Jan. 1O.-On all sides in
congress are heard beliefs that the
Presidents message will form the real
basis of the peace that will end the
last war for human liberty" as it was
termed by President Wilson
The frankness. definiteness and "ut-
ter simplicity" of the terms brought
approval from both Democrats and Re-
publicans.
Republican leaders approved the
message In general, but attacked the
section providing free trade after the
war, insisting American industries
must still be protected.
Majority Leader Kitchin and Chair
man Flood of the foreign relations
committee expressed the opinion the
terms would be the foundation for
peace. 1t is my belief and hope ii
paves the way to peace" said Mr.
Kitchin. 1T was truly a remarkable
address"
THE address was fine and timely
Mr.. Flood said, because 1t stated
clearly and specifically the aims of the
Allies. The position will be approved
by the people of the country and i,
will greatly hearten the Allies, partic
ularly Russia, which is wrestling with
German intrigue"
Senator Hardwick of Georgia said
he believed the Presidents message
may lead at once to the opening oI
peace negotiations.
"lf Germany does not plan world
conquests, then it ought to be possible
to agree on the terms that will save
both the civilization and the Christian
ity Of the world" said Senator Weeks
Senator Chamberlain:--It states IN
the concrete all we are fighting fol
and states 1t so clearly that he who
runs may read. 1t is the greatest o.

Moderation Is Recognized.
London, Jan. 9.-While no Ger.

Premier Lloyd Georges speech has
been issued, much newspaper com
ment has been received.
Some of the German newspapers
recognize moderation in the speech,
but they assert without exception
the conditions laid down by him can
not be accepted.
II is considered significant, how
ever, that the comment OF Vorwaerts
has not been received, 80 the opin-
ion OF the Socialists in Germany Is
unknown outside of that country.
The Kolnische Zeitung, according to
dispatch from Central News Agen-
cy, says OF the prime ministers 8

IF his war aims shoyld be full
filled Germany would be driven back
in.o her position of 1914, but with

Amsterdam, Jan. 10.-Berlin is en-

the militarists and anti-annexation-
lists yawns a gap apparently so wide
and SO deep that 1t seems unbridg-
able. There are now the strongest

In botl cases the kaiser's crown

Dispatches from Berlin tell OF an
