Count; States u. S. Aims

to sovereignty, as If they were chat
ties or pawns in game.
Third-Every territorial settle
ment involved in this war bust oe IN
the interests and for the benefits OF
the population concerned, and not as
merely a compromise of rival states:
Fourth-All we'll defined national
aspirations must be accorded the Ut
most satisfaction about introducing
new or perpetual old elements OF
discord likely in time to break the
peace of the world and Europe.
President Wilson said, "A general
neace to be erected upon such basis
can be discussed. We never can turn
back to the basis which Chancellor
Hertling proposes. America stands
ready to be shown that the settle
ments she has suggested ARE not the
best. However, she cannot see her
way to peace until the causes OF the
war are removed"

Ominous unrest is growing daily
through the Central empires.
Germany and Austria must have
peace or 60 under. The people in
both countries demand 1t:
II the allies stand pat on the Will
sonian program and make stone
wall of the western front, the end
of the war is in sight.
This does not mean the brink of
revolution has been reached but 1t
does mean the people are tired of the
quest. ,.
Domestic conditions in both coun-
tries are appalling and Austria is
threatened with disruption. Long
professions of women and children
march through the streets demand
ing bread. Illness is. rampant and
the death rate ii steadily mounting.
The coal shortage is severe and
milk is impossible to secure, even
for babies.
The rich still kliyssNell while the
masses are suffefing terribly. There
Is little nutrition in the food the
masses secure.
