WILSON'S SPEECH is

LONDON, Jan. 11.--Arthur Hender-
son, former labor representative in
the British war cabinet, interviewed
by the Associated Press regarding
President Wilson's speech to con-
gress, said
Coming as it does so soon after
Premier Lloyd Georges speech and
the labor partys war aims mem
orandum, President Wilson's message
must expedite peace negotiations un-
less Germany has hardened her heart
and has decided to oppose all move
ments which make for the interests
of democracy.
While we found the premier in
his speech met the expressed wishes
of labor in most every respect, 1t is
fair to say that he was not quite as
cordial toward the present Russian
government as might have been.
President Wilson's outstretched hand
leaves no room for doubt in Russian
minds He says: Here's our hand.
We are ready and anxious to help ="
President Wilson's address, says
the Manchester Guardian, was partly
strong affirmation and partly q
supplement to, even correction Of,
Premier Lloyd Georges statement,
which contained no word OF sympathy
for the fight the Russian govern
ment Is making on behalf of the
liberties Of peoples and the rights
of provinces which German and
Austrian armies are over-running to
determine their own political future.
The Guardian says the whole situa-
tlon of the Russian people has moved
Mr. Wilson deeply; that he sees
that every principle in defense Of
which America entered the war is
involved in the struggle which the
Russian government is carrying OF
against desperate odds Great BRIT
aims power to aid may be limited
but her sympathy need not be, the
paper says.

statement when he took the stand
yesterday in the senate investiga-
tion. and when IL was concluded
questions began TO fly from every
side OF the committee table, launch
ing cross-examination that prob
ably will continue all day today
Chairman Chamberlain and other
committeeman wanted TO know par
ticularly about delays in furnishing
machine guns and rifles and much
attention was devoted to the army's
supply purchasing system. Mr.
Baker admitted there had been some
mistakes and delays, but declared
that all fighting men in France
were adequately equipped and armed,
and that all sent over would be. He
took full responsibility for delay in
approving machine gun, holding
that the value of the Browning gun
now developed was worth It. He
also said the superior weapon OBJ
tanned by having the British Enfield
rifle re.chambered for American am
munition compensated for the delay
there.
More than 100000 Americans are
now under arms, Secretary Baker
said. and an army of substantial size
already is In France ready for active
service.
Members of the committee were
frank In their disapproval OF the
secret purchasing system OF the de
partment Mr.. Baker, however, In

more frequently now than in other
DAYS" Certainly they are much In
favor at all the country places with

Many people in town entertain dur
ing the season with Sunday lunch
cons and in the evening either dine
with friends or go to one OF the
restaurants. However, women -usu-
ally stay at home until s. or at
least are visible until that time. for
they must have a day on which men
can call.
Some old-fashioned hostesses cling
to bouillon-perhaps because they
have pretty cups-but otherwise 1t is
quite out Of fashion. Three courses
are ample for luncheon. which be-
gins with hors d'oeuyres and should
include one entree. Then there Is
a roast or chicken or chops or any
thing of that kind and a salad and
simple dessert. One wine. usually
Rhine or hook or claret, may be
served, and a half hour after lunch
con. as well as dinner. bottled min
eral water should be brought to the
dining-room.
"Once every few seasons there Is
something really new in the way oi
things to eat, but the old-fashioned
well cooked. We do not like fancy
dishes nowadays. owing perhaps to
the many systems for aiding the di-
