New York. Feb 1t-Almost simul- Itanecusly with the announcement by the Bolsheyiki government that Rus sia is out of the war and that a general demobilization along the entire Rus
 sian front is to be carried out, thus permitting the Teutonic allies to with draw all their forces for use on other battle fronts, President Wilson has restated to a joint session of congress the fact that the United States is in the war to stay until those principles which the people regard as funda- mental to a permanent peace are ob- tained
 "Our whole strength" said the pres ident, will be put into this war of emancipation-emancipation from the
 threats and attempted mastery of the selfish groups of autocratic rulers whatever the difficulties and present partial delays. We are indomitable in our power to independent and can in no circumstances consent to live in a world governed by the intrigue and force. We believe that our own desire for a new international order under which reason and justice and the common interest of mankind shall prevail is the desire of enlightened men
 everywhere [. ,. .. Having set our hand to the task of achieving it we shall not turn back
 The address of the president was delivered in answer to recent utter ances by Count Czernin. the Austro- Hungarian foreign minister and Count von Hertling, the imperial German chancellor made in reply to the peace aims of the United States as set forth by President Wilson and David Lloyd George, the British prime minister.
 In the words of Count Czernin the president saw a friendly tone; those of von Hertling were vague, very con- fusing and full of equivoca1 phrases. Czerning said the president, seemed to have seen the fundamental ele- ment of peace with clear eyes and did not seek to obscure them and probab- ly would have gone much further had it not been for the embarrassments of AustIas alliances and of her depen- dence upon Germany"
 Although no formal treaty has yet been signed between Russia and the central powers the Bolshevild govern ment has ordered a cessation of hos tilities by the Russians against Ger k 4 ,1 Bulgaria and the withdrawal Of it's troops from the trenches and fortified positions from the Baltic sea to the Rumanian frontier. 1t long has been foreseen that such an outcome event. ually would follow upon the revolu- tionary movement in Russia where for
 nearly a year civil strife and war weariness generally proved most po- tent factors in weakening the battle front Long ago the enemy forces be- gan the withdrawal of troops from tn front and virtually handful of them have been faced by Russians there
 Peace having been effected b. beth

 mania becomes most critical ore. Entirely cut off now from her aiies. the knmauians apparently are faced with the absolute necessity of effect Ing a separate peace or being overrun | by superior enemy armias. Nothing has as yet come through To show
